Speaker 1: This is Jaguars Post Game presented by GEHA. Join Brian Sexton,
0:09
Speaker 1: Mike Dempsey, and Pride of the Jaguars Fred Taylor as
0:12
Speaker 1: they break down today's game. Jaguars Post Game is brought
0:16
Speaker 1: to you by Farrah and Farrah, the University of Florida, Whataburger,
0:20
Speaker 1: and by Everbank. Jaguars Post Game presented by GEHA starts
0:26
Speaker 1: right now.
0:27
Speaker 2: All right, welcome in everybody. Jaguars postgame brought to you
0:30
Speaker 2: by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association, benefits for federal employees
0:35
Speaker 2: and retirees. Mike Dempsey and Coach Mark Duffner here from
0:38
Speaker 2: the Hyundai Studios. And Coach, always disappointing when you lose,
0:42
Speaker 2: particularly a game that you felt like You had maybe
0:45
Speaker 2: not in hand, but certainly were capable of winning today.
0:50
Speaker 2: If there was one thing to me that got the
0:52
Speaker 2: Jags more than anything today, I know a lot of
0:55
Speaker 2: the listening audience is saying the refs, the refs, the refs.
0:58
Speaker 2: I'd say it's the big explosives they allowed on defense,
1:01
Speaker 2: particularly on some of those third and longs. They had
1:04
Speaker 2: those three plays in the first half. that we talked
1:06
Speaker 2: about at halftime that went for 34 or more yards.
1:10
Speaker 2: And that was a big key to Houston's success today.
1:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, they really did have that. I mean, the wide receiver, Noel, geez, Pete,
1:18
Speaker 3: he has, I think, two explosives, a 34-yarder, a 50-yarder.
1:22
Speaker 3: He had another 25-yard catch. I mean, he was explosive
1:26
Speaker 3: for them in terms of their offensive pass game. And
1:29
Speaker 3: then we had the 25-yard run against us, too, which
1:32
Speaker 3: was uncharacteristic of our defense. So we're going to have
1:34
Speaker 3: to eliminate those.
1:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. Nico had the big one on Travis Hunter
1:38
Speaker 2: in coverage in the first half. But Travis had a
1:40
Speaker 2: spectacular overall game. But the Jags got to the point
1:44
Speaker 2: where they couldn't afford to keep trading scores. And they
1:46
Speaker 2: shot themselves in the foot. Opening drive of the second half. Defensively,
1:50
Speaker 2: you got 12 men on the field. You got them
1:52
Speaker 2: off the field. They're punting. That's a touchdown that wouldn't
1:55
Speaker 2: have been on the board for the Houston Texans. Then
1:57
Speaker 2: you could go to looking at some of the calls
1:59
Speaker 2: that were made, including the hold on Brenton Strange, which
2:02
Speaker 2: seemed absurd on what would have been a Bejel Tootin touchdown.
2:06
Speaker 2: Could have been a three-touchdown day for the Jags starting
2:08
Speaker 2: running back.
2:09
Speaker 3: No question about that. I mean, and we can't rely
2:11
Speaker 3: on the officials to not make calls or anything else.
2:14
Speaker 3: We can't give snaps away. We've got to continue to
2:16
Speaker 3: make plays. force the issue, dictate to the opponent right now. Again,
2:20
Speaker 3: our backed-up defense, two times we had a chance to
2:23
Speaker 3: demonstrate production there. We did, but just overall not quite
2:27
Speaker 3: good enough in terms of the defense.
2:29
Speaker 2: And look, really, the guys I think you and I
2:31
Speaker 2: are pointing to as we're sitting here watching the game
2:33
Speaker 2: together are your two highly paid defensive ends. Josh Heinz-Allen
2:37
Speaker 2: and Trayvon Walker did not hear their names called nearly
2:40
Speaker 2: enough today.
2:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was not enough activity from them or productivity,
2:44
Speaker 3: maybe more precisely from them. I mean, we didn't really
2:47
Speaker 3: affect the quarterback, and that's what you're going to have
2:50
Speaker 3: to do against this quarterback right now. He's one of
2:52
Speaker 3: the hottest in the league right now, and thank God
2:55
Speaker 3: we make a great interception in the red zone by
2:57
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter, but got to get way more effect on
3:00
Speaker 3: the quarterback.
3:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that, and give some credit to C.J.
3:03
Speaker 4: Stroud.
3:04
Speaker 2: He made some tough throws in the face of heavy
3:07
Speaker 2: pressure at times, particularly thinking about that one where Gardick
3:11
Speaker 2: was coming right up the middle on him. And I
3:14
Speaker 2: believe Jalen Knoll came up with that long catch down
3:17
Speaker 2: the field. But, you know, how do you feel that
3:19
Speaker 2: the quarterback of the Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence, played today?
3:22
Speaker 3: You know, I think he played pretty well, all things considered.
3:24
Speaker 3: And first of all, shout out to the offensive line.
3:27
Speaker 3: I mean, they did a heck of a job against
3:29
Speaker 3: probably the best pass rushing four-man front in the league
3:32
Speaker 3: right now when they had Hunter and And, you know,
3:35
Speaker 3: those guys in terms of coming off the edge on
3:37
Speaker 3: the other side, they're Anderson. So great job on the
3:40
Speaker 3: offensive line. But when you look at Trevor's game, 306 yards,
3:43
Speaker 3: four touchdowns. I mean, you know, I got to give
3:45
Speaker 3: him credit. I thought he had a winning performance for us.
3:48
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he did. It was a bad end zone interception.
3:51
Speaker 2: There's no question about that. You can't have that. And
3:53
Speaker 2: I felt like and you and I talked about this
3:55
Speaker 2: throughout the course of the afternoon. little bit shaky on
3:58
Speaker 2: some of those early passes like he threw one into
4:00
Speaker 2: the ground with Jacoby Myers open across the middle don't
4:03
Speaker 2: know if it was happy feed if he was anticipating
4:06
Speaker 2: more of the rush you're right though the the uh
4:08
Speaker 2: the Jaguars offensive line was not a problem today not
4:11
Speaker 2: at all able to run the ball effectively and protect
4:14
Speaker 2: their quarterback.
4:14
Speaker 3: Rushed for over 100 yards against the top third or
4:18
Speaker 3: top three ranked rushing defense and and the deep ball
4:22
Speaker 3: emerged for us today you know that was something that
4:24
Speaker 3: I think our coaching staff studied the film and knew
4:27
Speaker 3: that they could get some deep balls thrown. We got
4:28
Speaker 3: a number of them done in the course of the game.
4:31
Speaker 3: So I think that was important for us, too.
4:33
Speaker 2: All right. Right now, let's pause 10 seconds as we've
4:36
Speaker 2: reached the top of the hour. You're listening to the
4:38
Speaker 2: postgame show on the Jacksonville Jaguars radio network. The Jaguars
4:43
Speaker 2: Radio Network presented by UF Health, the official healthcare partner
4:48
Speaker 2: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. A lot to do over the
4:50
Speaker 2: course of the next couple of hours. Mike Dempsey and
4:52
Speaker 2: Coach Duffner here with you in the Hyundai Studios in Jacksonville.
4:55
Speaker 2: We'll see if we'll take another trip back to Wembley
4:57
Speaker 2: and hear from any of the participants in today's game.
4:59
Speaker 2: But the Jaguars fall today 34-31, the Houston Texans with
5:04
Speaker 2: the victory. This is Jaguars Postgame on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars
5:11
Speaker 2: postgame continues. Mike Dempsey and Mark Duffner from the Hyundai Studios.
5:14
Speaker 2: Today's game was presented by Bud Light, the official beer
5:18
Speaker 2: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're going to go back to
5:20
Speaker 2: Wembley here shortly. Bucky Brooks will have head coach Liam
5:24
Speaker 2: Cohen along. Coach, let's take it back to the second
5:28
Speaker 2: drive of the game for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Scoreless game.
5:32
Speaker 2: Jags have the ball at the 37-yard line. It's fourth
5:36
Speaker 2: and three. What are you thinking? It's a 55-yard field
5:40
Speaker 2: goal from that spot thereabouts. Are you thinking kick, or
5:44
Speaker 2: do you like the aggressiveness to go for it?
5:46
Speaker 3: I'm thinking kick. With the productivity of Tam Little right
5:50
Speaker 3: now in terms of his success kicking the ball, I'd
5:52
Speaker 3: take advantage of the best league in ball right now
5:55
Speaker 3: and stack up points. Again, it's easy to say 2020–
5:59
Speaker 3: after the fact, but I like the fact that we
6:02
Speaker 3: can score with that guy.
6:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of people, not only on
6:05
Speaker 2: the broadcast, I think Jeff Logum was surprised. We had
6:08
Speaker 2: people in the building surprised that they went to Cam
6:10
Speaker 2: Little with a chance to tie the game from 60.
6:13
Speaker 2: Didn't surprise me in the least. I thought it was
6:14
Speaker 2: completely the right call in that circumstance. I'm not going
6:17
Speaker 2: to put my game on a fourth and four when
6:19
Speaker 2: I believe I've got the best kicker in the league.
6:22
Speaker 2: And Cam came through with a 60-yarder. You know, he
6:24
Speaker 2: snuck it inside the right upright, but he had plenty
6:26
Speaker 2: of of leg and it didn't seem like the footing
6:29
Speaker 2: was an issue out there for him today.
6:31
Speaker 3: Not for this guy i think again we've been a
6:33
Speaker 3: special special weapon at any time we cross the 50
6:36
Speaker 3: yard line it's points it's money and so and he's
6:38
Speaker 3: been money so i like what like what we did
6:42
Speaker 3: i mean and to tie the game anyway, and certainly
6:45
Speaker 3: look forward to him continuing to be a weapon for us.
6:48
Speaker 2: Well, the Jags have a very special weapon in Travis
6:50
Speaker 2: Hunter Jr., and we'll be talking about him a lot
6:52
Speaker 2: throughout the course of the next couple hours. Don't think
6:54
Speaker 2: we're overlooking the fact that, as you just heard, he
6:58
Speaker 2: became the fourth player in the Super Bowl era with
7:00
Speaker 2: a touchdown reception and an interception in the same game.
7:04
Speaker 2: In some ways, kind of his breakout performance here, it's
7:08
Speaker 2: only his second interception in And second touchdown. He likes
7:10
Speaker 2: playing at Wembley. Coach had the touchdown against the Rams
7:13
Speaker 2: last year. But really, I think. more opportunities are going
7:17
Speaker 2: to be afforded to him now because it's getting very
7:21
Speaker 2: difficult for the Jaguars. I think to trust Brian Thomas jr.
7:24
Speaker 2: The wide receiver at this point in time had a
7:27
Speaker 2: bad drop early. Didn't see him again for most of
7:30
Speaker 2: the first half thing came out when they're trying to
7:33
Speaker 2: get in field goal position. Cause you want his speed
7:35
Speaker 2: on the field and it was a difficult catch and
7:38
Speaker 2: his feet kind of went out from him, but he
7:39
Speaker 2: was unable to bring it in. And that was it
7:42
Speaker 2: really that from what we saw from Brian Thomas. And
7:45
Speaker 2: I mean, I can imagine we're not going to see
7:47
Speaker 2: a whole lot more of him in the near future
7:49
Speaker 2: as long as Josh Cameron and Travis Hunter and whoever
7:53
Speaker 2: gets the opportunity continue to step up.
7:55
Speaker 3: Well, I think that, again, this coaching staff rewards productivity.
7:59
Speaker 3: They're looking for guys that can help you win games.
8:01
Speaker 3: can help you make plays on offense and defense, and
8:04
Speaker 3: that's the name of the game. So productivity is necessary.
8:07
Speaker 2: You're a defensive coach, a linebacker's coach. Have you ever
8:09
Speaker 2: been on a team, though, where a receiver just, you
8:12
Speaker 2: know he's got ability, right? He's dangerous with the ball
8:14
Speaker 2: in his hands, and he just can't get over a
8:17
Speaker 2: mental hurdle, because it seems like it's a mental hurdle
8:20
Speaker 2: when it's this big of an issue at this point
8:22
Speaker 2: for Brian Thomas.
8:23
Speaker 3: I think you're right, Mike, and I was, you know,
8:25
Speaker 3: very hopeful, certainly the way his offseason went, how his
8:27
Speaker 3: training camp went, that he'd He kind of slayed that dragon,
8:30
Speaker 3: but it's kind of still lingering, I guess. And I
8:33
Speaker 3: just hope, like Heck, we can get a little consistency
8:36
Speaker 3: out of him to shake this thing.
8:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully so. I mean, look, it didn't hurt Trevor
8:40
Speaker 2: Lawrence today in terms of productivity. He was moving this
8:43
Speaker 2: team up and down the field, 24-41 for 306 yards,
8:46
Speaker 2: four touchdowns. Again, the interception. quarterback passer rating of 104.3
8:54
Speaker 2: Stroud's was 116 but it was 150 at the half
8:57
Speaker 2: so where he was super efficient in that first half
9:00
Speaker 2: and he really remained efficient that play that interception in
9:04
Speaker 2: the end zone rare it's the only one Stroud has
9:06
Speaker 2: had this year but it gave the Jags a chance
9:09
Speaker 2: to go down keep it a one score game they
9:12
Speaker 2: were able to tie it up defense didn't come through
9:15
Speaker 2: and keeping Houston off the scoreboard. We're moments away from
9:18
Speaker 2: heading back to Wembley. The head coach interview presented by GEHA,
9:22
Speaker 2: Government Employees Health Association, benefits for federal employees and retirees.
9:27
Speaker 2: And right now, we head back to Wembley Stadium. Bucky
9:29
Speaker 2: Brooks is with Liam Cohen. Bucky?
9:32
Speaker 5: Coach, thoughts on a very competitive game today?
9:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, just some mistakes that cost us. Some big moments, right?
9:39
Speaker 6: The brutal call holding, nullified a touchdown in the first half,
9:44
Speaker 6: and then a couple plays later end up turning it
9:46
Speaker 6: over in the red zone. The DPI before the half,
9:51
Speaker 6: which gives them the ball inside the three or whatever
9:54
Speaker 6: it was right before the half, to not be able
9:57
Speaker 6: to get points before the half when we had a
9:59
Speaker 6: chance there. with the out cut on the sidelines to
10:02
Speaker 6: be able to give ourselves an attempt at a field goal.
10:06
Speaker 6: And then in the second half, it really just came
10:07
Speaker 6: down to the 12-minute on the field call where we're
10:12
Speaker 6: on a punt safe. There's absolutely no substitutions that occur
10:17
Speaker 6: on a punt safe. And we had guys run off
10:19
Speaker 6: the field from obviously what was a miscommunication and should
10:24
Speaker 6: not have had anybody running off the field in a
10:26
Speaker 6: punt-safe moment. So a couple of mistakes, a couple of
10:30
Speaker 6: uncharacteristic things that let them run it on us a
10:35
Speaker 6: little bit. And that was kind of the story of
10:38
Speaker 6: the game. Proud of the group in terms of their
10:40
Speaker 6: competition and the way that they stuck with it and
10:42
Speaker 6: kept battling, gave us a chance to go win it
10:44
Speaker 6: at the end and ended up coming up short.
10:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, in these games, competitive games, you always talk about
10:50
Speaker 5: not beating ourselves. Like, let's make sure that the Jags
10:53
Speaker 5: don't beat the Jags before we take care of the
10:55
Speaker 5: other stuff. Over a bye week, how do you talk
10:57
Speaker 5: to the team about eliminating some of these things that
11:00
Speaker 5: have popped up the last couple weeks?
11:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've got to be honest, right? We've got to
11:03
Speaker 6: continue to be honest in showing them the moments in
11:06
Speaker 6: which they occur, right? And so what are we– how
11:10
Speaker 6: can we lower and lessen some of the whatever it is, right?
11:13
Speaker 6: The anxiety of the moment or the stress of the
11:16
Speaker 6: moment so that we don't shoot ourselves in the foot
11:20
Speaker 6: in times of crisis. How do we come down to
11:24
Speaker 6: be able to go play free and fast and without
11:29
Speaker 6: fear of making a mistake? And so, you know, look,
11:33
Speaker 6: I think, you know, Travis making the play on the
11:35
Speaker 6: interception gives us a chance to go And then I
11:39
Speaker 6: think we went incomplete on the deep one to Parker.
11:41
Speaker 6: I couldn't tell if we had a chance to make
11:43
Speaker 6: the play or not. But we didn't connect, which would
11:47
Speaker 6: have put us on an explosive. And then, yeah, just
11:51
Speaker 6: critical moments. We had some brutal moments.
11:58
Speaker 5: You talked about Travis. Just the Travis Hunter experience. Played
12:01
Speaker 5: really well. Made some plays on defense. Came in. You
12:04
Speaker 5: had a very creative team. package for him on offense
12:06
Speaker 5: and you had talked about the entire year the slow
12:08
Speaker 5: ramping up uh what went into him maybe getting more
12:12
Speaker 5: opportunities yeah.
12:13
Speaker 6: I think it was a good build off right last
12:15
Speaker 6: week we had you know a couple things for him
12:17
Speaker 6: obviously had the one catch um and then had a
12:20
Speaker 6: nice week being here to had a lot of time
12:23
Speaker 6: on our hands as coaches to all right build off
12:26
Speaker 6: of it and put him in a position that we
12:28
Speaker 6: felt like would help us win the game and or
12:30
Speaker 6: put the ball in his hands in space He did
12:33
Speaker 6: some really nice things on offense specifically with the run
12:36
Speaker 6: after catch and being able to be critical on a
12:40
Speaker 6: third and goal to go on a catch from Trevor.
12:42
Speaker 6: So need to keep building off of it, but also
12:46
Speaker 6: continue to evaluate the snaps and what we're doing and
12:49
Speaker 6: the flow of the game today. It worked great because
12:52
Speaker 6: of the flow of the game, right? We needed some plays.
12:55
Speaker 6: We needed some of those moments. And so we just
12:57
Speaker 6: got to continue to evaluate if that's putting us in
12:59
Speaker 6: the best position to be successful.
13:01
Speaker 3: Last thing, um, The season is long. It's a marathon.
13:04
Speaker 5: You've got a bye week coming up. How do you
13:05
Speaker 5: handle a bye week to make sure you guys are
13:07
Speaker 5: fresh and ready to grow while also improving?
13:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, so tomorrow we'll get back in, be able to evaluate,
13:12
Speaker 6: watch some of this stuff with them, and then, you know,
13:14
Speaker 6: same thing Tuesday, and then they'll be off for a
13:16
Speaker 6: few days. We'll get a bonus day, you know, on
13:19
Speaker 6: the back end of it. But need these guys to
13:23
Speaker 6: get away from it a little bit here because, look,
13:26
Speaker 6: we're 4-2. and just lost a pretty close game to
13:31
Speaker 6: two pretty darn good football teams, specifically Denver and these guys.
13:34
Speaker 4: And so.
13:36
Speaker 6: No flinch, no blink, not happy with the result today
13:40
Speaker 6: in some of those moments, but extremely confident in this
13:43
Speaker 6: football team and where we're headed.
13:45
Speaker 5: Cool, man.
13:46
Speaker 3: Enjoy the bye week.
13:46
Speaker 5: We'll see you on the backside.
13:47
Speaker 6: Thanks, Buck. Appreciate it, man.
13:49
Speaker 2: All right, there you go. Bucky Brooks with head coach
13:51
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen as the Jags fall 34-31 to the Houston
13:55
Speaker 2: Texans today. We've got plenty more to discuss on this
13:59
Speaker 2: postgame broadcast. Mike Dempsey and Mark Duffner here with you.
14:02
Speaker 2: 34-31 Houston. This is Jaguars postgame on the Jaguars radio network.
14:11
Speaker 2: Jaguars postgame brought to you by GEHA Government Employees Health Association.
14:15
Speaker 2: Benefits for federal employees and retirees. Mike Dempsey and Mark
14:19
Speaker 2: Duffner from the Hyundai Studios. As the Texans win it 34-31.
14:24
Speaker 2: Jaguars fall for the second time this year. They failed
14:26
Speaker 2: to match their best start in team history. But still
14:29
Speaker 2: a good start heading into the bye. But I'm sure
14:33
Speaker 2: they'll have a sting. and disappointment stick with them over
14:37
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks on what might have been here.
14:40
Speaker 2: And if we get the chance, we may head back
14:43
Speaker 2: to Wembley coming up, go to the Everbank vault and
14:45
Speaker 2: listen in on what Trevor Lawrence has to say in
14:47
Speaker 2: the post game here, coach, but listening to Liam Cohen
14:49
Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks there, Liam had a checklist, right? He
14:53
Speaker 2: knew what the plays were that, that tilted this game. The, I, I,
14:58
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to keep this clean here. The
15:01
Speaker 2: call of Brenton Strange, the holding call, absolutely absurd. What
15:05
Speaker 2: did you see on that? He kind of raised his arm.
15:08
Speaker 2: I don't know if the official thought he saw something
15:11
Speaker 2: or saw a body move a funny way and he
15:13
Speaker 2: thought he must have been held. But clearly that was
15:16
Speaker 2: just an absolutely terrible call.
15:17
Speaker 3: Well, I would say it kind of borderline Halloween call
15:21
Speaker 3: because it looked like a ghost or something. There was
15:23
Speaker 3: nothing there that I could see as far as, you know,
15:25
Speaker 3: I had the opportunity to watch it. you know, on video. But, geez,
15:29
Speaker 3: it looked like a ghost call to me.
15:31
Speaker 2: No treats, all tricks on that one. And, of course,
15:34
Speaker 2: that led to, ultimately, Touchdown coming off the board on
15:37
Speaker 2: that play. And then Trevor Lawrence throws the end zone interception,
15:41
Speaker 2: and the Jags get nothing out of it. So that's
15:43
Speaker 2: a massive swing right there. Then Liam Cohen pointed out
15:47
Speaker 2: the Travis Hunter defensive pass interference. I think this one's
15:49
Speaker 2: more debatable to me. And I'm not saying that there
15:53
Speaker 2: wasn't some fighting going on both ways. But to me,
15:55
Speaker 2: he did grab like the forearm wrist area of Nico
15:59
Speaker 2: Collins and hold it down. And it was close enough
16:02
Speaker 2: to when the ball was passing them by that I
16:04
Speaker 2: thought that, OK, I could see that being a legitimate call.
16:07
Speaker 2: But I think the point that Frank Frangie and Jeff
16:09
Speaker 2: Logman were making on the broadcast, if you're going to
16:12
Speaker 2: call that close like that. nico collins clearly pushed off
16:16
Speaker 2: later in the game on a big third down you
16:18
Speaker 2: know and and shoved travis hunter five yards back and
16:21
Speaker 2: hunter knew it immediately you could tell he's almost complaining
16:24
Speaker 2: before the the ball was uh completed but that's the
16:28
Speaker 2: thing that drives you crazy the lack of consistency.
16:30
Speaker 3: No question about it i mean and again the play
16:32
Speaker 3: you're talking about that that was definitely offensive pi i
16:35
Speaker 3: mean he pushed him dramatically and and so i mean Again,
16:39
Speaker 3: all you're looking for is consistency in calling, and we
16:41
Speaker 3: hope we can get it.
16:43
Speaker 2: And then the third play he mentioned was our failure
16:46
Speaker 2: to get a catch and get out of bounds at
16:48
Speaker 2: the end of the first half. Well, that's a nice
16:50
Speaker 2: way of saying Brian Thomas has got to catch that football.
16:52
Speaker 2: I mean, you catch that football, you have a chance
16:55
Speaker 2: to stop the clock, maybe get three on the board
16:57
Speaker 2: right there, Coach. And again, this game down to a
17:00
Speaker 2: three-point game, you don't know exactly how it's going to
17:02
Speaker 2: play out if the score were different, but... hard to
17:05
Speaker 2: believe that there are going to be too many more
17:07
Speaker 2: high leverage opportunities in the near future for Brian Thomas.
17:10
Speaker 2: He's going to have to put in some tremendous work
17:12
Speaker 2: on the practice field, I think, to rehabilitate his place
17:16
Speaker 2: in the pecking order in this offense.
17:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate because, as we mentioned earlier, I mean,
17:20
Speaker 3: he had really some outstanding progress, I thought, in the
17:24
Speaker 3: spring and during training camp, trying to get himself back
17:27
Speaker 3: onto the field in a productive way. And some of
17:29
Speaker 3: these setbacks right now have been unfortunate. He's going to
17:31
Speaker 3: have to battle through them.
17:32
Speaker 2: And then the fourth and final play that Liam Cohen
17:35
Speaker 2: referenced was 12 in on the field, which was that
17:39
Speaker 2: one was as frustrating to me as the other ones.
17:41
Speaker 2: It's out of your hands when the refs make a call.
17:44
Speaker 2: you're you're hand fighting maybe you're going to get it
17:46
Speaker 2: maybe you're not it's on you when you drop the
17:48
Speaker 2: football but just the mental error of having 12 on
17:52
Speaker 2: the field he said they were in punt safe which
17:54
Speaker 2: coach explain that to the audience what punt safe is punt.
17:57
Speaker 3: Safe is you leave the defense out there right now
17:59
Speaker 3: because of the possibility of some sort of a fake
18:01
Speaker 3: or something along that line so there should be no
18:04
Speaker 3: question about any type of substitution error or So, again,
18:09
Speaker 3: mind-boggling that that occurred.
18:11
Speaker 2: Right. No substitutions on a punt-safe play.
18:13
Speaker 4: Correct.
18:14
Speaker 2: So somebody obviously came in because then you got somebody
18:17
Speaker 2: sprinting to get off the field, and that's how you
18:19
Speaker 2: get caught with the 12. And, I mean, that was
18:21
Speaker 2: the one that really killed him because you open up
18:23
Speaker 2: the second half with a chance. Okay, we're going to
18:25
Speaker 2: stop him. We're going to get the ball. We have
18:27
Speaker 2: moved the ball pretty well today. But instead, then, look,
18:30
Speaker 2: you still have an opportunity to stop him. And today—
18:34
Speaker 2: Defense was disappointing. I mean, it just was. And the
18:38
Speaker 2: run defense, good for the most part, but then they
18:40
Speaker 2: allow the 25-yard rushing touchdown. They allow the big catch
18:45
Speaker 2: to Woody Marks late in the game to pick up
18:47
Speaker 2: the key first down. it really changed the whole tenor
18:53
Speaker 2: of the football game right there. You have a chance
18:56
Speaker 2: to get a stop, maybe take the ball and take
18:59
Speaker 2: the lead, but instead you're letting the team continue their drive,
19:03
Speaker 2: tiring out your defense that much more. I know it's
19:05
Speaker 2: early in the second half. They shouldn't be that tired
19:07
Speaker 2: at that point in time, but I just thought that
19:09
Speaker 2: was a tremendous momentum shift in this football game.
19:12
Speaker 3: There's no question about it on the substitution error that
19:15
Speaker 3: we had on the punt safe and we just stopped
19:17
Speaker 3: them on a three and out so we got now
19:19
Speaker 3: we're setting the tone for the second half and then
19:22
Speaker 3: after that we allow a touchdown and and Noel was
19:25
Speaker 3: the receiver for a 13-yard gain for a touchdown and
19:28
Speaker 3: then it became you know spotty play at best I
19:30
Speaker 3: mean again the running back as you mentioned it was
19:33
Speaker 3: a practice squad running back that has a 25-yard run
19:36
Speaker 3: against us for a touchdown and then just our two-minute
19:40
Speaker 3: defense struggle both at the end of the half and
19:42
Speaker 3: end of the game.
19:43
Speaker 2: And again, some credit's got to go to Houston, but
19:46
Speaker 2: I don't know how much credit goes to their offensive line.
19:50
Speaker 2: compared to our lack of getting off a block with
19:54
Speaker 2: the front four, particularly the two guys on the outside.
19:57
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to fault the interior of the
20:00
Speaker 2: line too much to me. You like to get pushed
20:02
Speaker 2: from anywhere. But for the most part this year, they've
20:05
Speaker 2: really stood out. with their ability to stop the run.
20:09
Speaker 2: And that has helped the Jags. Then, you know, be
20:12
Speaker 2: one of the top defenses in the national football, like
20:14
Speaker 2: certainly scoring wise, that wasn't the case today. And just,
20:19
Speaker 2: I mean, look after week one, we've, barely heard from
20:23
Speaker 2: josh hines allen and trayvon what that that may be
20:25
Speaker 2: an exaggeration josh hines allen played well against philadelphia he
20:28
Speaker 2: didn't have the pass rush numbers but he made plays
20:31
Speaker 2: behind the line of scrimmage but today when you really
20:33
Speaker 2: needed it against the division opponent we just didn't hear
20:35
Speaker 2: their names called all afternoon.
20:37
Speaker 3: You know not even close i mean when you look
20:39
Speaker 3: at the defensive statistics we had one i think we
20:42
Speaker 3: had one tackle by josh hines allen i think as
20:44
Speaker 3: far as trayvon he might have been on three tackles
20:47
Speaker 3: but Again, this was critical that we affected the quarterback.
20:50
Speaker 2: Alright, let's head over to the Everbank Vault today. That's
20:52
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence back at Webley Stadium at the podium. Let's
20:55
Speaker 2: listen in for a minute or two.
21:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think obviously a tough game today.
21:02
Speaker 4: Didn't go our way and just made a few too
21:05
Speaker 4: many mistakes that cost us in the end. It's a
21:08
Speaker 4: one-score game like most of them are and ended up
21:11
Speaker 4: hurting us this week. We've gotten away with it a
21:13
Speaker 4: little bit in the past. So, I think That's probably
21:16
Speaker 4: the biggest reflection so far is just how do we
21:17
Speaker 4: clean up some of the little things that are hurting
21:21
Speaker 4: us and that end up costing us the game, you know,
21:22
Speaker 4: how to turn over in the red zone, something like that.
21:24
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a big play, giving away points and
21:27
Speaker 4: ends up being a three-point game. So, you know, that's
21:30
Speaker 4: an immediate reflection. I think we'll watch it and we'll
21:32
Speaker 4: talk about it, you know, tomorrow and Tuesday, go through it,
21:36
Speaker 4: and then we'll have a little bit of time because
21:37
Speaker 4: we've got a bye week next week. So we'll have
21:39
Speaker 4: some time to reflect and just see what we need
21:41
Speaker 4: to get better at, I think. Our team, we've got
21:44
Speaker 4: a lot of confidence and we know who we are.
21:46
Speaker 4: We don't need to go soul searching or anything like that.
21:49
Speaker 4: It's just how can we continue to do the little
21:52
Speaker 4: things better and better because they cost you in these
21:54
Speaker 4: tight games.
21:55
Speaker 7: How was it for you to get Travis more involved?
22:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought Travis played awesome. Made some huge plays
22:03
Speaker 4: for us. Gave us a spark. I mean, just made
22:07
Speaker 4: some unreal plays. So I thought it was cool to
22:09
Speaker 4: obviously get him involved and Um, he's special with the
22:12
Speaker 4: ball in his hands. And I think obviously today was
22:15
Speaker 4: probably the most work he's gotten offensively this season. So, uh,
22:18
Speaker 4: he did some great things. Um, and yeah, it kind
22:21
Speaker 4: of just happened that way. We always have a plan
22:22
Speaker 4: for him and seemed like we got pretty much all
22:25
Speaker 4: those called today, which was, which was great. And he
22:27
Speaker 4: was making plays.
22:33
Speaker 8: Yeah.
22:33
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, that's something that I, you know,
22:35
Speaker 4: I don't spend too much time thinking about it. I'll
22:37
Speaker 4: let the coaches handle it. And Travis, I know he's,
22:39
Speaker 4: he's a special, you know, person and player that seems
22:42
Speaker 4: like he can run all day and is in incredible shape. So, um,
22:46
Speaker 4: but I, I think we've done a pretty good job
22:48
Speaker 4: of managing that and not making it too much. And, um,
22:51
Speaker 4: I know he wants to be out there every play
22:53
Speaker 4: if he could be. So I think he has that mentality,
22:55
Speaker 4: which has helped him. And that's why he's able to,
22:57
Speaker 4: you know, play so many snaps and be effective.
22:59
Speaker 2: All right. That's a Trevor Lawrence from the Everbank vault
23:02
Speaker 2: over at Wembley stadium. And I have a feeling coach,
23:05
Speaker 2: we're going to be talking a lot more about Travis
23:07
Speaker 2: under over the next couple of weeks in particular, uh,
23:09
Speaker 2: with the Jags bye week coming up. Obviously, Trevor Lawrence
23:13
Speaker 2: noting how he played more offensive snaps today. You can't
23:15
Speaker 2: help but wonder, is that directly tied in to Brian
23:18
Speaker 2: Thomas Jr. 's struggles out there? But he definitely provided
23:22
Speaker 2: a spark on both sides of the ball for the Jaguars.
23:25
Speaker 2: All right, final score, 34-31 in favor of Houston. Plenty
23:30
Speaker 2: more to do here on the Post Game Show. This
23:32
Speaker 2: is Jaguars Post Game on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars postgame presented
23:41
Speaker 2: by GEHA. Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner from the Hyundai Studios. Coach,
23:47
Speaker 2: as we look back at where things went wrong for
23:49
Speaker 2: the Jaguars today. Very good offensively in terms of yardage
23:54
Speaker 2: gain in both halves. They had, what did they have,
23:57
Speaker 2: about 240 in the first half? A little less in
24:00
Speaker 2: the second half, but ended up with 412 yards of offense.
24:02
Speaker 2: That should be plenty, 31 points. Defense held the Texans
24:06
Speaker 2: to roughly 180 in the first half, but they ended
24:09
Speaker 2: up with 426. It felt like, though, for a large
24:13
Speaker 2: portion of this game, The Jaguars were playing in Houston
24:18
Speaker 2: territory on their side of the field, Coach, which makes
24:21
Speaker 2: this even more disappointing. Yeah, they got 31 points out
24:23
Speaker 2: of it, but it seemed like they lived on the
24:25
Speaker 2: Houston side of the field.
24:26
Speaker 3: Mike, you're 100% correct. I mean, in the first half,
24:29
Speaker 3: it wasn't even close in terms of winning the field
24:31
Speaker 3: position battle. I mean, we were knocking on the door
24:34
Speaker 3: the whole half. I'm not sure I ever saw an offense...
24:37
Speaker 3: be so successful getting to the other side of the field,
24:40
Speaker 3: if you will, against the opponent. And we really picked
24:43
Speaker 3: up our red zone production. I mean, we were three
24:45
Speaker 3: for four for 75% in terms of scoring in the
24:48
Speaker 3: red zone, where we had struggled the last four drives
24:51
Speaker 3: prior to that with just a field goal. So again,
24:54
Speaker 3: I thought that was a plus. Defensively, we just struggled
24:57
Speaker 3: in what we call the middle eight of the game.
25:00
Speaker 3: I mean, they scored a field goal where we tackled poorly,
25:04
Speaker 3: then a touchdown before the half. And then because of
25:07
Speaker 3: the the substitution penalty, were able to score on the
25:10
Speaker 3: first drive of the second half. So the middle eight
25:12
Speaker 3: we struggled in.
25:13
Speaker 2: It feels like, without knowing what the actual number is
25:17
Speaker 2: right now, it feels like the Jags missed a lot
25:19
Speaker 2: of tackles today. Am I right?
25:21
Speaker 3: No, no, no. No, they absolutely did. As we were watching,
25:24
Speaker 3: it was uncharacteristic to me, the number of tackles we missed,
25:27
Speaker 3: especially like I talked about in that drive, the two
25:30
Speaker 3: drives before the half at halftime, we struggled tackling, and
25:33
Speaker 3: even in the drive to start the second half. Too much.
25:36
Speaker 2: How does that happen? Does that become– it seems like
25:40
Speaker 2: a weird thing that could become contagious, right? But it
25:42
Speaker 2: does seem like it hit the Jags today more than once,
25:47
Speaker 2: multiple players at all the wrong times.
25:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, who knows? I don't know if the surface– we
25:53
Speaker 3: talked about how slippery the surface is. Sometimes people try
25:55
Speaker 3: to compensate with your speed and your base and your footing.
25:59
Speaker 3: I don't know about all that. And sometimes when you press,
26:01
Speaker 3: when things you feel like are getting a little out
26:03
Speaker 3: of control, you start to press and dive and lunge.
26:05
Speaker 3: to make tackles. But, I mean, they've worked on it tremendously.
26:08
Speaker 3: I heard the broadcast during the practice week they were
26:11
Speaker 3: doing tackling circuits. I mean, it's not a lack of
26:14
Speaker 3: application to it in practice, but, again, it's got to
26:16
Speaker 3: be something that we fix during the game.
26:18
Speaker 2: You had a quarterback today that the Jags defense was
26:20
Speaker 2: facing that excels against the Blitz. And it felt like
26:24
Speaker 2: we were getting close to C.J. Stroud on a number
26:27
Speaker 2: of occasions, even hitting him on some occasions. But he'd
26:30
Speaker 2: find a way in those circumstances to find the guy
26:32
Speaker 2: who was single covered. At a certain point in time,
26:36
Speaker 2: you say, hey, it's not happening. I do think they
26:39
Speaker 2: backed off it in the second half a little bit today,
26:41
Speaker 2: and they tried to rush with four. But then it's
26:43
Speaker 2: kind of pick your poison, because if you're not getting
26:45
Speaker 2: that pressure, he's going to have more time to find
26:48
Speaker 2: his target.
26:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, statistically, again, he's been excellent against the Blitz, and
26:52
Speaker 3: we have shown that with the four-man rush that he
26:55
Speaker 3: has struggled some against that. But we still got to
26:58
Speaker 3: affect the guy, and we struggled getting that done. I
27:01
Speaker 3: got to give him credit. He played a heck of
27:03
Speaker 3: a ball game. I'm sure glad that we got a
27:05
Speaker 3: pick from him. I thought he was due for that,
27:07
Speaker 3: and we got one.
27:08
Speaker 2: All right, still plenty to do here as the Texans
27:11
Speaker 2: take down the Jaguars and serve up Jacksonville's second loss
27:14
Speaker 2: of the season, second consecutive win for the Texans now
27:17
Speaker 2: who are within two games. of Jacksonville for first place. Indianapolis,
27:21
Speaker 2: who's 2-3 coming into today, taking on the Tennessee Titans
27:25
Speaker 2: right now. And that game is scoreless as Daniel Jones
27:28
Speaker 2: just threw a red zone interception. So maybe the Titans
27:32
Speaker 2: will win their first game of the year and keep
27:34
Speaker 2: the Colts at arm's length, at least for the time being.
27:38
Speaker 2: 34-31 in favor of Houston. When we come back, we'll
27:41
Speaker 2: get an Everbank stats check. You're listening to Jaguars postgame
27:45
Speaker 2: on the Jaguars radio network. Jaguars postgame presented by GEHA.
27:55
Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner here in the Hyundai Studios. Coach,
27:58
Speaker 2: time to get an Everbank stats check. We'll start with
28:01
Speaker 2: some team stats in this one. Very close in a
28:04
Speaker 2: lot of categories. Jaguars had 24 first downs to the Texans, 23.
28:09
Speaker 2: Jags were 7 of 12 on third down, 0 of
28:13
Speaker 2: 1 on fourth. Texans 5 of 11, but they were
28:16
Speaker 2: 5 of 8 in the second half. So that certainly
28:21
Speaker 2: contributed to the.
28:24
Speaker 2: Point total that they're able to put up today. I
28:27
Speaker 2: almost said the comeback, but they were leading it the
28:29
Speaker 2: entire second half with that two-score lead. We told you
28:32
Speaker 2: the total yardage, 426 to 412 in favor of Houston there.
28:37
Speaker 2: Penalties on the day, six for 40 for the Texans,
28:42
Speaker 2: six for 66 for the Jags. But it was when
28:46
Speaker 2: they came and red zone, and of course you had
28:50
Speaker 2: the 12 men on the field. Not complaining about that.
28:53
Speaker 2: That's self-inflicted. But you can argue the Travis Hunter pass interference.
28:59
Speaker 2: You can't really argue, in my opinion, the Brenton Strange hold.
29:02
Speaker 2: Still winning. And Bucky Brooks even indicated on the broadcast
29:06
Speaker 2: that the refs kind of huddled up and he tapped
29:08
Speaker 2: his chest like, my bad, I blew that call. Okay.
29:13
Speaker 3: That doesn't help us.
29:14
Speaker 2: It doesn't help.
29:15
Speaker 4: Right.
29:15
Speaker 2: That was after the interception at that point. So, yeah,
29:18
Speaker 2: very strange. You know, the umpire went out of this
29:21
Speaker 2: game early on the first drive of the game. So
29:24
Speaker 2: you had guys, and they decided not to shift their positions,
29:27
Speaker 2: they said on the broadcast. So you had a hole
29:30
Speaker 2: in the field where some of these things might be
29:32
Speaker 2: called by the umpire, or at least he would be
29:34
Speaker 2: the closest one. And you had guys from the complete
29:36
Speaker 2: opposite side making the call, Coach, which I think really
29:40
Speaker 2: is as frustrating as anything when your team's getting hit
29:43
Speaker 2: with penalties.
29:44
Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, yes. I mean, you've got to be
29:46
Speaker 3: kidding me. On some of those calls, the deep officials
29:49
Speaker 3: making in-line calls, if you will. I think it was
29:52
Speaker 3: really rough as far as that's concerned. But, you know,
29:55
Speaker 3: Coach talked about it. Hey, settle down in the second half.
29:58
Speaker 3: It's us versus us. Again, we still struggled as far
30:01
Speaker 3: as listening to that direction, if you will.
30:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did. But keep in mind, you know, the
30:07
Speaker 2: Jags have had a few of these moments, fortunately not
30:10
Speaker 2: too many under Liam Cohen, and they've generally responded here.
30:13
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at some individual statistics here in
30:15
Speaker 2: your Everbank stats check. Trevor Lawrence, 24-41, 3-0-6. Through the air,
30:20
Speaker 2: four touchdowns and interception, 104 passer rating. C.J. Stroud, similar,
30:25
Speaker 2: 24 of 34, a little bit more efficient in the
30:29
Speaker 2: completion percentage department. 312, the average 9.2 yards to pass
30:33
Speaker 2: compared to Trevor's 7.5. Three touchdowns, one pick, his first
30:37
Speaker 2: of the year, and a 116 passer rating. Jags, Chris Rodriguez,
30:42
Speaker 2: really good in the first half. Didn't see him much
30:44
Speaker 2: in the second half.
30:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, it surprised me because when we were running right
30:47
Speaker 3: at him right now, again, he had five yards of carry.
30:49
Speaker 3: I mean, it was bang, bang, bang, 12 and 13 personnel.
30:53
Speaker 3: I would have liked to have seen that continue.
30:54
Speaker 2: I want to say he was 10 for 50 in
30:57
Speaker 2: the first half, and he had one carry for five
30:59
Speaker 2: yards in the second half. Basil Tootin had 12 for
31:02
Speaker 2: 39 on the ground. Woody Marks, 15 for 56. First
31:06
Speaker 2: opposing run to go for 40 yards, but they had
31:08
Speaker 2: a second one do it. Jawar Jordan, that 25-yard touchdown
31:12
Speaker 2: run enabled him to go for 43 yards on the day.
31:15
Speaker 2: So the top two backs for the Texans combining for
31:17
Speaker 2: 99 yards. That is not bad. The standard that this
31:20
Speaker 2: Jags run defense has set to this point. Receiving department,
31:24
Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers caught five for 83. Parker Washington had four
31:29
Speaker 2: for 64. Few just off his fingertips as well. You know,
31:32
Speaker 2: I think Parker has set the bar so high for
31:34
Speaker 2: what he is capable of doing that when he doesn't
31:36
Speaker 2: come up with a circus catch, we're like, what's going
31:39
Speaker 2: on with this guy?
31:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're wondering right now. But let's recognize this. He's
31:43
Speaker 3: had 17 catches for 20-plus yards. Explosive play since 2008. 2025,
31:49
Speaker 3: the most in the NFL.
31:50
Speaker 2: Most since week 15 of last year.
31:52
Speaker 9: Correct.
31:52
Speaker 2: Of anyone in the entire league.
31:53
Speaker 3: In the entire league.
31:55
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter, four grabs, 59 yards, and a touchdown today,
31:59
Speaker 2: his first of the year there. Basil Tootin, four for
32:04
Speaker 2: 48 with a pair of receiving scores for Jacksonville. Brenton
32:07
Speaker 2: Strange caught five for 44. So you had five different
32:11
Speaker 2: receivers catching four or five passes. Trevor Lawrence obviously spreading
32:14
Speaker 2: it around. Quite a bit today on the other side,
32:17
Speaker 2: Jalen Knoll, four for 107. They did a good job
32:20
Speaker 2: on Nico Collins overall. He did have the 42 yarder
32:23
Speaker 2: over the top that set up a score in the
32:25
Speaker 2: first half, but three for 74 in total. Marvin Harrison Jr.
32:28
Speaker 2: in his first action with the Texans caught three. for
32:31
Speaker 2: 34 yards in this game today, not a single sack
32:36
Speaker 2: on either side. In fact, you look down, the Texans
32:40
Speaker 2: only credited with three quarterback hits, which when you consider
32:44
Speaker 2: the way those guys had been rushing off the edge,
32:47
Speaker 2: that's a tremendous job by the Jaguars. Now, on the
32:49
Speaker 2: other side, you can say it's a tremendous job by
32:51
Speaker 2: the Texans' offensive line because the Jags only got Stroud
32:54
Speaker 2: touched twice on the day.
32:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something that we have to take– ownership of
32:59
Speaker 3: right now in terms of not being productive there. But
33:02
Speaker 3: when you look at the job our offensive line did
33:04
Speaker 3: against these guys, And, you know, with Walker Little coming
33:07
Speaker 3: in for Anton Harrison, I mean, come on, are you
33:09
Speaker 3: kidding me? That was tremendous.
33:10
Speaker 2: You hardly heard the name Will Anderson Jr.
33:12
Speaker 8: Today.
33:13
Speaker 4: Not at all.
33:13
Speaker 3: And he's, you know, allegedly competing for the player, defensive
33:16
Speaker 3: player of the year.
33:17
Speaker 5: No, no, what?
33:18
Speaker 2: I mean, it's seven and a half sacks coming in.
33:19
Speaker 2: The guy was playing fantastic football, was not hype. And
33:23
Speaker 2: kudos to Walker Little there. Mentioned Travis Hunter had the
33:27
Speaker 2: lone interception for the Jags. Cam Little. One for one
33:30
Speaker 2: in the field goal department. That was good from 60.
33:33
Speaker 2: Cam knows no limits to his range. Anything 70 or less,
33:38
Speaker 2: you can roll him out there and feel pretty good
33:41
Speaker 2: about it. Hey, Jags fans, time to bring the energy.
33:43
Speaker 2: The Jags scored in the third quarter. And when they
33:47
Speaker 2: do that, you score free Culver's medium Wisconsin cheese curds

Speaker 2: with purchase. Offers only available for Culver's delicious rewards program.

Speaker 2: Jaguars postgame brought to you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association.
36:25
Speaker 2: Benefits for federal employees and retirees. Mike Dempsey and Mark
36:28
Speaker 2: Duffner here with you as the Jags fall to the
36:33
Speaker 2: Houston Texans 34-31, spoiling their break. as they head in
36:39
Speaker 2: long plane ride home made a little bit longer by
36:42
Speaker 2: falling to your division rival but coach it is time
36:46
Speaker 2: for the jaguar radio network player of the game voting
36:49
Speaker 2: quick uh review of the rules don't know how much
36:52
Speaker 2: they're going to come into play today but uh typically
36:56
Speaker 2: fred taylor gets a vote and a half he's not
36:58
Speaker 2: with us today he was working in london Today, so
37:01
Speaker 2: Freddie will be back with us in a couple of weeks.
37:03
Speaker 2: Everybody gets a vote. Fred gets a vote and a half.
37:06
Speaker 2: When Fred's not here, you get a vote and a half.
37:09
Speaker 2: So my vote doesn't count, but I'm going to give
37:11
Speaker 2: it anyway, and I think we're going to have this
37:14
Speaker 2: one two and a half to nothing is my guess.
37:17
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter's pretty good today.
37:18
Speaker 3: Darn good.
37:19
Speaker 2: I'll go with him.
37:20
Speaker 3: That's who I'm going with. I promise you that. Again,
37:22
Speaker 3: four for four and catching the ball, 59 yards, a touchdown,
37:25
Speaker 3: 26-yard explosive catch. Three tackles, interception critical in the end zone.
37:32
Speaker 3: I mean, active day across the board. Great confidence, great production.
37:36
Speaker 2: Massive play. That end zone interception really was, I thought,
37:41
Speaker 2: the biggest play for the Jags today. And they scored
37:43
Speaker 2: a lot of points, and those touchdowns are fantastic. You know,
37:46
Speaker 2: the Texans are going to put themselves up by a
37:49
Speaker 2: couple of scores with just a few minutes left. The
37:51
Speaker 2: game's going to, for all intents and purposes, be over.
37:53
Speaker 2: And he gave them life. And they took advantage of it,
37:56
Speaker 2: at least, to tie the game. But defense not strong
37:59
Speaker 2: enough to hold them off. So was he perfect today? No.
38:02
Speaker 2: But there's a lot more meat on that bone with
38:04
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. you know today reminded us just how exciting
38:09
Speaker 2: he can be with the ball in his hands on offense.
38:11
Speaker 3: No question about it I mean again big time excitement
38:14
Speaker 3: as far as that's concerned a bomb waiting waiting to
38:16
Speaker 3: go off at any time and then I think the
38:18
Speaker 3: confidence I see with him I mean he was shadowing
38:21
Speaker 3: and playing Nico Collins their best receiver throughout the game
38:24
Speaker 3: and he didn't back down from that a bit in
38:26
Speaker 3: fact you could see him want more and more and
38:28
Speaker 3: more and so I like the confidence I like the
38:31
Speaker 3: production i like again execution he's demonstrating only going to
38:35
Speaker 3: get better and better and wow what a day today.
38:37
Speaker 2: Yeah a couple of quick nods one to jacoby myers
38:39
Speaker 2: uh five catches for 83 yards today and some nice
38:42
Speaker 2: blocks one that helped spring basil tootin uh for the
38:45
Speaker 2: longer of his two touchdowns at least the ones that
38:47
Speaker 2: counted uh and trevor lawrence today after a little bit
38:51
Speaker 2: of a shaky start a bad end zone interception let's
38:53
Speaker 2: say he's player the game worthy but 306 yards four
38:55
Speaker 2: touchdowns um offset the mistakes he made. That was good
39:01
Speaker 2: enough to win a football game today.
39:03
Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
39:03
Speaker 3: When we score 31 points, I mean, come on. We
39:05
Speaker 3: should be winning the football game there. And I'm just,
39:09
Speaker 3: as a defensive coach, dang it, we didn't have it
39:11
Speaker 3: enough today. And that's the key. And offense, I thought,
39:14
Speaker 3: played well enough to do it. Even though we thought
39:17
Speaker 3: at times they could have gotten even more points. 31
39:20
Speaker 3: points should win the game for you.
39:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, good enough to win a football game, not good
39:23
Speaker 2: enough to win this football game today, the way it
39:26
Speaker 2: all played out. So Travis Hunter today with the touchdown. reception,
39:31
Speaker 2: the interception, only the fourth man in the Super Bowl
39:34
Speaker 2: era to have that double feature happen. And it's probably
39:38
Speaker 2: not the last time you're going to see that from Travis.
39:41
Speaker 2: Four for 59 with a touchdown, three tackles. With the
39:45
Speaker 2: interception on defense, he is your Jaguar Radio Network player
39:49
Speaker 2: of the game. In a moment, the UF Health injury report.
39:52
Speaker 2: Texans beat the Jaguars 34-31. This is Jaguars postgame on
39:57
Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio. Presented by GEHA, Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner here
40:03
Speaker 2: from the Hyundai Studios on the Jaguar Post Game Show.
40:06
Speaker 2: Texans beat the Jags 34-31. Your injury report presented by
40:11
Speaker 2: UF Health, the official healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
40:15
Speaker 2: Not a heavy injury day, Coach, which is always good news.
40:19
Speaker 2: Antonio Johnson rolled an ankle. It didn't look like it
40:22
Speaker 2: was going to be something that, you know, when they
40:24
Speaker 2: come out of the bye is going to be a
40:26
Speaker 2: major issue for him.
40:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope you're right by that because he had
40:29
Speaker 3: six tackles at the half, I think, before he got hurt. So, again,
40:32
Speaker 3: he's been a productive guy, very versatile guy for Anthony Campanile. Hope,
40:36
Speaker 3: like heck, we can get him back quick.
40:37
Speaker 2: Amir Abdullah got rocked on a return, got tackled, hit
40:42
Speaker 2: his head on the ground, but got checked for a concussion.
40:45
Speaker 2: We thought, ah, his day is done, but he came back. So, obviously,
40:49
Speaker 2: passed whatever baseline test he needed to. I think the
40:52
Speaker 2: big one here, Coach, is over the next couple weeks,
40:54
Speaker 2: can you get Monteric Brown back? back close to 100
40:58
Speaker 2: percent uh as you know he had been dealing with
41:01
Speaker 2: that nagging hamstring issue missed the game came back left
41:05
Speaker 2: the game early didn't play this week so uh getting
41:08
Speaker 2: him healthy hopefully will give a little spark to a
41:12
Speaker 2: secondary that gave up way too many passing yards today no.
41:14
Speaker 3: Question about it so i mean again i'm counting on
41:17
Speaker 3: the buy and the great work of buyer training staff
41:19
Speaker 3: medical staff to get him.
41:20
Speaker 2: Back and once more let's give a nod to walker
41:23
Speaker 2: little who came in talking about injuries here anton harrison
41:26
Speaker 2: goes on injured reserve and you're like man how are
41:28
Speaker 2: we going to deal with our third tackle facing this
41:31
Speaker 2: pass rush well which pass rush were we talking about
41:34
Speaker 2: i mean they really did a great job cold and
41:36
Speaker 2: land as well really that because you got a pair
41:38
Speaker 2: of bookend rush ends that can wreck as much havoc
41:42
Speaker 2: as any pair in the league and You hardly heard
41:45
Speaker 2: their names called today.
41:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're the best duo in the league for sure
41:48
Speaker 3: in terms of productivity and pressure and sacks to hold
41:51
Speaker 3: nine yards. And I thought our game plan, I think
41:54
Speaker 3: our play by our offensive line in particular, you know,
41:57
Speaker 3: needs to be noted in a big, big way as
41:59
Speaker 3: a positive.
42:00
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully the injuries, there's nothing that has developed behind
42:05
Speaker 2: the scenes that we're aware of, but seems like, you know,
42:08
Speaker 2: Typical fair, nothing too crazy coming out of an NFL game.
42:12
Speaker 2: And with the bye week coming up, hopefully the Jags
42:14
Speaker 2: will be fresh when they get back after it in
42:17
Speaker 2: week number eight. We'll come back with some final thoughts
42:19
Speaker 2: on this one. The final score, once again, Houston 34,
42:23
Speaker 2: Jacksonville 31. This is Jaguars postgame on the Jaguars radio network.
42:29
Speaker 2: Jaguars postgame brought to you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association,
42:34
Speaker 2: benefits for federal employees and retirees. Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner
42:39
Speaker 2: from the Hyundai Studios once again. And shout out to everybody,
42:44
Speaker 2: you know, over in London for a terrific job getting
42:48
Speaker 2: everything done in terms of the broadcasting and all the
42:51
Speaker 2: different shows they brought you throughout the course of the
42:55
Speaker 2: fortnight coach. We call it a fortnight like they do
42:58
Speaker 2: in Wimbledon, right? When we're referring to a two week
43:00
Speaker 2: period in London and you know, Brian Sexton, excellent job
43:05
Speaker 2: on the, the pregame stuff, Bucky Brooks, Frank Frangie, Jeff Logman,
43:08
Speaker 2: the whole crew over there and everybody behind the scenes
43:11
Speaker 2: as well. So we take a deep breath and we
43:14
Speaker 2: collect ourselves coach. It's not the end of the world.
43:16
Speaker 2: And one thing Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence both remarked
43:20
Speaker 2: on in the post game, This is not a team
43:21
Speaker 2: that is, you know, doubting itself, right? They are not
43:25
Speaker 2: happy with the self-inflicted mistakes that they made, but this
43:29
Speaker 2: is not a team that I think had their worldview
43:32
Speaker 2: shaken at all today by this loss to the Houston Texans.
43:35
Speaker 6: No, no.
43:36
Speaker 3: I think there's mutual respect between these two teams. I
43:40
Speaker 3: think they knew that we were going to get Houston's
43:42
Speaker 3: best shot on both sides of the ball. This is
43:44
Speaker 3: a mature group, the Jacksonville Jaguars. They'll handle everything. The
43:48
Speaker 3: situation is they've got to fix right now the techniques
43:51
Speaker 3: and assignments and come back and be ready to play
43:54
Speaker 3: a heck of a game against Indianapolis after the bye.
43:57
Speaker 2: All right, for those on our flagship station, 1010XL here
43:59
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, we invite you to stick around. The scoreboard
44:02
Speaker 2: show is coming up next. And for those on the
