- 0:05Speaker 1: The Jaguars broadcast Week in Review podcasts presented by ever Bank.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I'm JP Shadwick with the best of the week from
- 0:11Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and Jaguars YouTube. The Jaguars
- 0:16Speaker 1: visit the Cleveland Browns in Week fourteen. The Jags have
- 0:19Speaker 1: plenty of health concerns going into the game, but none
- 0:22Speaker 1: bigger than starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence and his right high
- 0:25Speaker 1: ankle sprain. Lawrence spoke with the media Wednesday about the
- 0:28Speaker 1: balance of doing what's best for the team versus getting
- 0:32Speaker 1: back on the field quickly.
- 0:33Speaker 2: The team's always the priority. We had obviously the same
- 0:36Speaker 2: conversations before the New Orleans game earlier in the season,
- 0:39Speaker 2: and I'll never put myself for the team in a
- 0:43Speaker 2: position to where we're at a higher risk or we're
- 0:45Speaker 2: not going to play our best because I'm not able
- 0:48Speaker 2: to do my job. So those are all questions you
- 0:51Speaker 2: have to answer throughout the course of the week, and
- 0:53Speaker 2: just for me, it's just doing everything I can every
- 0:56Speaker 2: second of the day to get back as soon as possible,
- 0:58Speaker 2: you know, whenever that is that back.
- 1:00Speaker 3: CJ.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Bethard has traveled these roads before. He's two and ten
- 1:04Speaker 1: as a starter, but all those backup starts came with
- 1:06Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers.
- 1:08Speaker 4: You know, he knows his body, He knows himself more
- 1:10Speaker 4: than anybody on this team. So you know, I'm just
- 1:12Speaker 4: gonna prepare as if I'm ready, just like I do
- 1:14Speaker 4: each and every other week, and then you know, if
- 1:16Speaker 4: the opportunity counsel, I'll be in there ready to go.
- 1:19Speaker 4: But if it doesn't, you know, I won't bet andy
- 1:20Speaker 4: about it. You know, I want him to be healthy.
- 1:22Speaker 4: I want him to play and play well and all
- 1:24Speaker 4: that kind of stuff.
- 1:24Speaker 1: So, hey, coach Doug Peterson knows it will take a
- 1:27Speaker 1: full team adjustment no matter who is available Sunday.
- 1:30Speaker 5: If Trevor can go, if CJ goes, if CJ goes,
- 1:34Speaker 5: then I think there's a more of a sense of urgency.
- 1:37Speaker 6: I think a little bit for everybody to kind of.
- 1:39Speaker 5: Do a little bit more on their part, you know
- 1:41Speaker 5: what I mean to kind of support you know, your
- 1:43Speaker 5: backup that way, you know, but there's not a lot
- 1:45Speaker 5: of things you got to do out of the ordinary.
- 1:47Speaker 5: You still got to do your job right and focus
- 1:50Speaker 5: in on what you do. And the one thing about
- 1:53Speaker 5: CJ and Trevor both. I mean they both prepare as
- 1:56Speaker 5: if they are both starting. That's just what the backup does.
- 1:59Speaker 7: You know.
- 1:59Speaker 5: And I know that role having been in it myself
- 2:02Speaker 5: and then obviously coached that role.
- 2:04Speaker 6: So but I don't think you have to do anything
- 2:06Speaker 6: out of the ordinary.
- 2:07Speaker 1: That was from Doug Peterson Wednesday on Huddle Up. Later
- 2:10Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon, Bucky Brooks, John Oser and I reacted to
- 2:13Speaker 1: all the comments.
- 2:14Speaker 3: From earlier in the day.
- 2:15Speaker 1: This would be his forty seventh consecutive start to start
- 2:18Speaker 1: his career if he were to go this week, long
- 2:20Speaker 1: way from two ninety seven and Brett Favre John, But
- 2:22Speaker 1: what do you read from the tea leaves there?
- 2:24Speaker 7: He walked, he talked, he didn't have a boot, He
- 2:29Speaker 7: was significantly not limping on the way in. I'm not
- 2:32Speaker 7: going to say that he wasn't making sure he didn't limp,
- 2:36Speaker 7: if you follow me, I think there was some appearance
- 2:39Speaker 7: wanting there. Look, when he went down on Monday, I
- 2:43Speaker 7: didn't think anyway in the world he would play. He
- 2:48Speaker 7: has played through injuries the next week twice. This is
- 2:55Speaker 7: a significantly different thing. The high ankle sprain. Conventional wisdom
- 2:59Speaker 7: is it is a three to four to six week injury.
- 3:03Speaker 7: Mahomes also played on a high sprain last year in
- 3:07Speaker 7: the playoffs. Anything could happen. This kid's been Superman before.
- 3:13Speaker 7: I would still guess that he doesn't, but I feel
- 3:16Speaker 7: a little more after today like there's a decent chance
- 3:19Speaker 7: he will. He talked, which is significant in this league.
- 3:21Speaker 7: You know when the starting quarterback talks to me as
- 3:23Speaker 7: there's a chance he plays. So I don't know, what
- 3:28Speaker 7: do you?
- 3:28Speaker 3: Well?
- 3:28Speaker 1: See, what do you read from it?
- 3:30Speaker 3: Bucky?
- 3:31Speaker 8: A couple of things that came out from that that
- 3:34Speaker 8: that really stood out to me.
- 3:35Speaker 3: One he walked in without a boot. That's significant.
- 3:38Speaker 8: Two he talked about playing and what we know from
- 3:42Speaker 8: Trevor the situation appeared dire before the New Orleans Saints game,
- 3:45Speaker 8: and he showed up and played, didn't practici ate, played
- 3:48Speaker 8: and played really well. Uh, this is a guy.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I give him credit the.
- 3:51Speaker 8: Toughness that you want to see from your franchise quarterback.
- 3:55Speaker 8: He exhibits the courage to kind of put himself out
- 3:58Speaker 8: there and do it.
- 3:59Speaker 3: I applaud him.
- 4:01Speaker 8: The key will be, if you're Doug Peterson, do you
- 4:04Speaker 8: want to expose him to the Browns defensive front where
- 4:07Speaker 8: he could possibly tweak it again and then not be
- 4:10Speaker 8: available down the stretch. Or do you want to give
- 4:13Speaker 8: him a full week to rest and recover and target
- 4:17Speaker 8: the Baltimore Ravens that Sunday night game as an opportunity
- 4:20Speaker 8: for him to come back. You know, it's trying to
- 4:23Speaker 8: weigh the pros and cons of what could be if
- 4:25Speaker 8: he plays this week versus letting him get right and
- 4:28Speaker 8: be all the way back when he plays against the
- 4:30Speaker 8: Baltimore Ravens.
- 4:31Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't. Yes, first of all, Beck's exactly right.
- 4:35Speaker 7: I don't know if realist I'll go off a high sprain.
- 4:37Speaker 7: You're going to be right in two weeks one hundred percent.
- 4:41Speaker 7: I mean, do you think about it. Mahome still in
- 4:43Speaker 7: the Super Bowl was showing some you know, wasn't really
- 4:47Speaker 7: the same guy yet. I don't think.
- 4:50Speaker 6: So.
- 4:52Speaker 7: You probably are limited for a little while. My guess
- 4:57Speaker 7: is if they feel like he can protect himself and
- 5:00Speaker 7: play at all, I think he'll play. I'd still be surprised,
- 5:06Speaker 7: but I'm just surprised. I guess I'm surprised that I
- 5:12Speaker 7: feel this confident even though I'm not super super confidence.
- 5:14Speaker 1: That makes sense, Yeah, I mean, just because we all
- 5:16Speaker 1: saw the scene on Monday night when he's twisted up
- 5:20Speaker 1: like a pretzel in the field and he's throwing his
- 5:22Speaker 1: helmet and he can't walk down the hallway, And at
- 5:25Speaker 1: that moment, I'm thinking he's out next week and maybe
- 5:28Speaker 1: longer than that, because he really just didn't know just
- 5:30Speaker 1: from the look of it. But to have this even
- 5:32Speaker 1: a possibility this week is pretty remarkable. For the Quarterback
- 5:36Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks airs Wednesday at four o'clock
- 5:38Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com and Jags YouTube. On Thursday, head
- 5:42Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson joined Jeff Logoman and me on The
- 5:45Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network and talk
- 5:48Speaker 1: through the quarterback situation and more.
- 5:50Speaker 3: You know, Trevor's trending in the right direction.
- 5:52Speaker 5: You know, it's just kind of day by day with him,
- 5:54Speaker 5: and we'll see, we'll see where he's at, you know, Thursday, Friday,
- 5:58Speaker 5: Saturday and heading into this book a game. But look,
- 6:01Speaker 5: I you know, you never want to put a guy
- 6:03Speaker 5: in a box and say he can't do something, because
- 6:06Speaker 5: you know, we've seen we've seen Trevor.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Bounce back from injury before.
- 6:08Speaker 5: But you know, if not at c j Bethett will
- 6:11Speaker 5: go and and and he'll be ready and he'll get
- 6:13Speaker 5: he'll get, you know, and has gotten the bulk of
- 6:15Speaker 5: the reps this week, so you know, we're very confident
- 6:17Speaker 5: in that too.
- 6:17Speaker 9: I've never had one of those, but they say that
- 6:20Speaker 9: the high ankle is one of the most painful injuries
- 6:23Speaker 9: that that you can have.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Did you ever have one? I did have one in college.
- 6:26Speaker 3: They are pretty painful.
- 6:27Speaker 6: You know.
- 6:28Speaker 3: The concern is.
- 6:29Speaker 5: That the fractures right, because that's it's usually up on
- 6:31Speaker 5: your fibula and in places like that. And and we
- 6:34Speaker 5: were fortunate that none of that happened or you know,
- 6:36Speaker 5: Trevor didn't you know, assume any of those injuries there.
- 6:38Speaker 3: But they are painful and they take time.
- 6:40Speaker 5: It's not a it's not an injury that you know
- 6:43Speaker 5: a couple of days and you're you're running around and
- 6:45Speaker 5: jumping and doing all those things on your ankle. So
- 6:48Speaker 5: you know, we're just fortunate that everything is stable and
- 6:50Speaker 5: training in the right direction.
- 6:51Speaker 9: Well, you talked about the number that you had on
- 6:54Speaker 9: Monday night, Uh Walker, little Trey hearned and gosh else
- 6:59Speaker 9: my unful of how are all those guys doing?
- 7:03Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and Christian too, Yeah, you're ready. You know. Obviously,
- 7:06Speaker 3: Christian we know is gonna miss He's.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Gonna you know, have surgery and and and get that
- 7:10Speaker 5: repaired and and hopefully we get him back you know, soon,
- 7:13Speaker 5: and we'll just see how that goes.
- 7:14Speaker 3: But you know, we're optimistic there.
- 7:16Speaker 5: You know, Fully is you know, back on the practice
- 7:18Speaker 5: field and he's he's he's doing okay. He's kind of
- 7:21Speaker 5: a day to day, you know guy right now. Obviously,
- 7:23Speaker 5: Trey Herndon's in the protocol, so we got to make
- 7:25Speaker 5: sure that, you know, that he's cleared before anything happens there.
- 7:30Speaker 3: And and then you know.
- 7:31Speaker 5: Just we got the typical bumps and bruises, you know,
- 7:34Speaker 5: this time of year. TJ's sore obviously, you know, the
- 7:38Speaker 5: more that Dearnest is playing, he's getting more sore, you know.
- 7:41Speaker 5: But but every team is in the same situation. Every
- 7:43Speaker 5: team is dealing with injury, every team is going through it.
- 7:46Speaker 5: It's kind of the so what now what mentality, And
- 7:49Speaker 5: you know, our guys need to embrace it and.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Just move forward.
- 7:51Speaker 9: Yeah, nobody wants to hear it.
- 7:52Speaker 3: They don't want to hear it.
- 7:53Speaker 9: Yeah, And in Cleveland this week, the first thing that
- 7:56Speaker 9: you mentioned about them was their defense. What makes their
- 7:59Speaker 9: defense it's great? Uh, for me, it's it's ninety five.
- 8:03Speaker 9: But for you, what do you see?
- 8:05Speaker 5: Well, I see Jim Schwartz all over this defense. I
- 8:07Speaker 5: see his his fingerprints on it. It's the wide nine,
- 8:10Speaker 5: it's the it's the jet rush, get off the ball
- 8:13Speaker 5: defensive line. Let's put pressure with four, keep eye all
- 8:17Speaker 5: eyes you know on the quarterback with their second and
- 8:19Speaker 5: third level defenders. But you're right, ninety five is a
- 8:22Speaker 5: is a game wrecker. He's you know, him and Aaron
- 8:25Speaker 5: Donald are probably two of the best D linemen in
- 8:28Speaker 5: the National Football League right now. Ninety five Obviously, Miles
- 8:31Speaker 5: Garrett is probably the best one or will be the
- 8:33Speaker 5: best one that we face all season long. And that's
- 8:36Speaker 5: and we face some good ones, you know, this year.
- 8:38Speaker 5: But you know, he's one man, obviously, and and we
- 8:43Speaker 5: got to make sure that that he doesn't wreck the
- 8:45Speaker 5: game for us. I know he's gonna affect the game,
- 8:47Speaker 5: but he can't wreck it for us. And making sure
- 8:50Speaker 5: that you know, everybody that has an opportunity to to
- 8:54Speaker 5: chip or bang or thump or you know, block him,
- 8:57Speaker 5: that we we do it because you know he's such
- 8:59Speaker 5: a great play and you got to give guys like
- 9:01Speaker 5: that their respect.
- 9:02Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show here is Thursday at five on

- 10:32Speaker 1: the Ozone podcast this week, and he's excited about being
- 10:36Speaker 1: part of a group that is establishing a legacy.
- 10:38Speaker 10: I mean it's huge, you know when I look at
- 10:40Speaker 10: about myself, Man, I want to leave a legacy. I
- 10:43Speaker 10: want to be a part of something. I want to
- 10:44Speaker 10: be a part of a team that's done something that
- 10:46Speaker 10: no team has done here, part of history. You know,
- 10:48Speaker 10: I've done it in high school, I've done it in college,
- 10:51Speaker 10: and I want to continue to do it in pros.
- 10:53Speaker 10: So for me thinking about last year, man, it was like, Man,
- 10:56Speaker 10: I went to the playoffs last year, you know, as
- 10:58Speaker 10: as a team went to the playoffs, but I didn't
- 11:00Speaker 10: play my best ball, and and look how far we went.
- 11:03Speaker 10: So for me, I I took that ownership to myself
- 11:06Speaker 10: to like, when I can better myself, how far can
- 11:08Speaker 10: we become as a team, how far can we go?
- 11:11Speaker 10: And when your best players playing their best ball? And
- 11:14Speaker 10: so for me, I took that And you know, I
- 11:16Speaker 10: was blessed to be able to put our team in
- 11:18Speaker 10: the best you know, put in a better position to win,
- 11:21Speaker 10: and and that's all I can do. And uh, that's
- 11:23Speaker 10: all we can do, any of us. And so we
- 11:26Speaker 10: still have, you know, you know, continue to have that
- 11:28Speaker 10: mindset all throughout. Like I said, man, we're we're playing
- 11:31Speaker 10: for something much bigger and we have a great opportunity
- 11:34Speaker 10: to get there.
- 11:35Speaker 7: I'm gonna ask this because I talked to you probably
- 11:37Speaker 7: after the last two or three off seasons, and it
- 11:40Speaker 7: always struck me that that your focus and your want
- 11:43Speaker 7: to and your desire was as high as anybody I've
- 11:46Speaker 7: been around. So when people look at your year this
- 11:48Speaker 7: year and say, well, it's a contract year, to me,
- 11:51Speaker 7: that implies that you weren't trying before. Yeah, So and
- 11:55Speaker 7: what do you think when people say it's a contract year?
- 11:58Speaker 7: To me, it's more just you are it's working, but
- 12:01Speaker 7: it's not like you're trying harder than Yeah before you
- 12:04Speaker 7: follow me that.
- 12:05Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think that's a great question, you know,
- 12:07Speaker 10: And you know, you hear people have you know, you
- 12:09Speaker 10: hear people always say, oh, he's only like they're doing
- 12:12Speaker 10: good because of the contract. You I've seen it throughout
- 12:14Speaker 10: it a lot of people. Sure, And you know, for me,
- 12:17Speaker 10: you know, I don't really you know, feed into that
- 12:21Speaker 10: notion of oh am I doing it. No, it's because
- 12:24Speaker 10: I'm finally like I figured, I'm figuring, like I'm figuring
- 12:26Speaker 10: it out right. But you've really hard off season to
- 12:29Speaker 10: figure things out focused gone to Arizona, started right after
- 12:33Speaker 10: the season. I mean, this has been something you've taken
- 12:35Speaker 10: really seriously, Yes, sir, And uh, you know it's it's
- 12:39Speaker 10: always magined the pieces, you know. For me, you know,
- 12:41Speaker 10: I have a young family as well, So for me
- 12:44Speaker 10: it's you know, how well.
- 12:45Speaker 3: Can I manage my time?
- 12:47Speaker 10: And for me, I found a way that works, you know,
- 12:51Speaker 10: and so that allows me to do more you know,
- 12:54Speaker 10: with doing less in a way. So for me, it's
- 12:57Speaker 10: just finding out what's working. And I found out my
- 13:00Speaker 10: process and I found out what works if I could
- 13:02Speaker 10: have did this last year, I would have done it.
- 13:03Speaker 10: You know. If I would have learned that this is
- 13:05Speaker 10: what it takes, I would have done it, you know.
- 13:07Speaker 10: But you know, I found my process and I found
- 13:10Speaker 10: out what works. If it would happen las year, would
- 13:11Speaker 10: haden last year, what hapen next ye would happened next year.
- 13:13Speaker 10: But you know, I'm at a time to where I
- 13:15Speaker 10: found out what works, and I'm going to continue this
- 13:19Speaker 10: recipe for success. And I want to continue to grow
- 13:22Speaker 10: because there's still rooms that I can improve on and
- 13:24Speaker 10: I watch the tape and I know I can improve.
- 13:26Speaker 10: So for me, it's it's keeping up what I'm doing,
- 13:29Speaker 10: but it's also improving to see what I can do better.
- 13:32Speaker 10: And I know this room from improvement and I'm excited
- 13:36Speaker 10: to keep going.
- 13:37Speaker 1: The Ozone Podcast available on the Official Jaguars Podcast Network.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Now to the Cleveland Browns. They have the number one
- 13:44Speaker 1: defense in the NFL, but they've used four different quarterbacks
- 13:47Speaker 1: on offense this season. They are seven and five and
- 13:50Speaker 1: in a wild card position at the moment. On JAG's
- 13:53Speaker 1: Am Thursday, Aki Stevens, Ryan Zexteron, and John Ozier discuss
- 13:56Speaker 1: their success playing at home in Cleveland this.
- 13:59Speaker 11: Year, you mentioned how well that Browns play at homes. STEFANSKII,
- 14:03Speaker 11: the head coach, was asked yesterday why he thinks they
- 14:06Speaker 11: play so well at home. He didn't quite have an answer,
- 14:08Speaker 11: but he did say likes to play in Cleveland.
- 14:11Speaker 12: I will tell you we like playing at home.
- 14:14Speaker 6: We do.
- 14:14Speaker 12: I like having our crowd into it. I like the
- 14:16Speaker 12: juice that it gives our defense. I like that it
- 14:19Speaker 12: makes life hard on the opposing offense. Having said that,
- 14:23Speaker 12: you know you still want to play good defense, good
- 14:25Speaker 12: offense on the road as well. But I do think
- 14:28Speaker 12: we have a very distinct home field advantage.
- 14:31Speaker 11: I think some of the things that benefit them at home,
- 14:33Speaker 11: or seemed to be with the Jaguars, feed off of
- 14:35Speaker 11: that crowd noise against them, kind of that, you know,
- 14:38Speaker 11: prove them wrong mentality. So it will be interesting to
- 14:40Speaker 11: see which one comes out on top.
- 14:42Speaker 7: Yeah, I think sometimes it's fun to talk about. It's
- 14:45Speaker 7: fun to ask the coach. It's just like when people
- 14:48Speaker 7: asked Doug why the Jaguards are struggling at home. Well,
- 14:51Speaker 7: they didn't struggle at home last year. They were great
- 14:53Speaker 7: at home last year. It's not like they can't play
- 14:54Speaker 7: in EverBank stadium. Sometimes, I think it just sort of circumstance.
- 14:59Speaker 7: Now the Browns, I think when you're a really good
- 15:04Speaker 7: defense and you get some weather involved, but you're gonna
- 15:06Speaker 7: have in Cleveland, I think maybe that factors into it
- 15:09Speaker 7: a little bit there. I don't necessarily think whether there's
- 15:11Speaker 7: a factor.
- 15:11Speaker 12: For the Jags here.
- 15:12Speaker 13: They're a takeaway team. You know, if the drag Wars
- 15:14Speaker 13: are going to be in it, they can't feed that
- 15:15Speaker 13: defense in that crowd with Aaron passes.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Right, especially with CJ. Beth or putting the.
- 15:21Speaker 13: Ball on the ground. And this team, this Brown's defense
- 15:25Speaker 13: is good at getting it out. And Yeah, the other
- 15:28Speaker 13: thing you think about the cold and the wind. It's
- 15:29Speaker 13: only with thirty five thirty six degrees and wet, but
- 15:32Speaker 13: that wind can come off the lake and make it miserable,
- 15:35Speaker 13: make it feel a whole lot colder. So there's got
- 15:39Speaker 13: to be a focus on the football on Sunday.
- 15:41Speaker 7: Yeah, you do get the idea. It's one of these
- 15:43Speaker 7: games that if you see the ball on the ground
- 15:47Speaker 7: or a turnover in the first quarter, you get one
- 15:51Speaker 7: of those thinking feelings.
- 15:51Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, Katie bar the door. However, the flip side
- 15:54Speaker 13: is also true, right with the quarterback who's playing his
- 15:56Speaker 13: second game, and that's what Flacco is. Their offensive line
- 16:01Speaker 13: is playing with backup tackles. There's an opportunity for this defense,
- 16:04Speaker 13: which has twenty one takeaways, to be able to go
- 16:07Speaker 13: create a couple also to use it to their advantage.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Jags Am Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Jaguars dot com.
- 16:13Speaker 3: And Jags YouTube.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Let's get to our media guest this week, CBS Sports
- 16:17Speaker 1: analyst Charles Davis and plenty to discuss is he preferred
- 16:21Speaker 1: for this Jaguars Browns matchup?
- 16:23Speaker 14: Yeah, excited about it. I mean, this is the type
- 16:25Speaker 14: of year that if you're an analyst a broadcast or heck,
- 16:28Speaker 14: if you're a fan after your team, you do kind
- 16:31Speaker 14: of keep an eye on what's going on in Jacksonville
- 16:33Speaker 14: because a lot of good things are happening. And when
- 16:35Speaker 14: you do watch them play, there's a fun to it.
- 16:38Speaker 14: There's a verve, there's a joy. But I felt like
- 16:42Speaker 14: on Monday night there wasn't as much joy out of
- 16:45Speaker 14: the Jaguars.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Charles Davis with a CBS Sports I mean, is that fixable?
- 16:50Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody can fix it's Doug Jarson.
- 16:52Speaker 14: It's fixable. It's fixable this team. Sometimes us yackers, you,
- 16:58Speaker 14: me and all of our brethren from the outside, we
- 17:01Speaker 14: can create problems for a team without meaning to. All right,
- 17:04Speaker 14: we can create problems with how much we're praising them,
- 17:06Speaker 14: how much we liked this team, how they could be
- 17:09Speaker 14: the number one seed, how people in preseason picked them
- 17:12Speaker 14: to be the number one seed. Now they're beating their
- 17:14Speaker 14: chest and going, see, look at where they are right now.
- 17:17Speaker 14: And we can create some of that. And last year,
- 17:20Speaker 14: you remember the whole second half of you. You were
- 17:22Speaker 14: along for the ride, you were part of the journey.
- 17:24Speaker 14: It was what the heck, let's just go play because
- 17:27Speaker 14: this thing's pretty much done. And then each week Tennessee
- 17:30Speaker 14: kept giving me an opportunity. Oh well maybe it's not done. Well,
- 17:33Speaker 14: let's just keep playing. And it worked out this year
- 17:36Speaker 14: you got a gap on the front end. Uh, well,
- 17:39Speaker 14: if we win this week, this works. But if we lose,
- 17:42Speaker 14: oh boy, did this team can well? Kansas City did
- 17:45Speaker 14: you solid last week?
- 17:46Speaker 3: With green?
- 17:47Speaker 14: Bash had said, did you solid last week?
- 17:50Speaker 3: Because you did?
- 17:50Speaker 14: You lost no blood on that part tiebreaker you did
- 17:53Speaker 14: because head to head with Kansas City from earlier this year,
- 17:56Speaker 14: But you really didn't lose your division. That part worked out, Charls.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Of course the quarterback was banged up. And he might
- 18:03Speaker 1: be the most flexible person I've ever seen in my life.
- 18:05Speaker 1: I mean, if he's getting bent out like a pretzel
- 18:07Speaker 1: like that, and that's all that happens is the high ankle.
- 18:10Speaker 1: He's done it twice now. Last year Detroit, the same
- 18:12Speaker 1: thing happened. He comes back in the game. This time
- 18:15Speaker 1: he does it. It's amazing.
- 18:17Speaker 14: We watched him leave and I ruled him out that night,
- 18:20Speaker 14: which I know better. I know better you don't do that,
- 18:23Speaker 14: but I did. Like, there's no way. I don't know
- 18:26Speaker 14: if he's on the TV twelve method. Tom Brady in
- 18:29Speaker 14: the flexibility, but that's all Tom talked about the second
- 18:32Speaker 14: half of his career was pliability, flexibility. When he walks
- 18:36Speaker 14: into a room, he's tall, he's got stature, he's got presents,
- 18:40Speaker 14: all those words I've used before, but he doesn't blow
- 18:42Speaker 14: you a way like he just came from a big time,
- 18:44Speaker 14: you know, hanging and banging in the weight room. But
- 18:47Speaker 14: Tom Brady rarely got hurt because of the flexibility. Plied,
- 18:50Speaker 14: but he was really into that. I remember talking with
- 18:53Speaker 14: him about it. One time. You know, it's not like
- 18:55Speaker 14: I'm name dropping him, not just it was a regular
- 18:58Speaker 14: production meeting, okay, But he talked about how much he
- 19:01Speaker 14: believed in it and was staunch that people who went
- 19:05Speaker 14: about the other way were hurting himself. You're just waiting
- 19:07Speaker 14: to blow things up. I don't know if Trevor Lawrence
- 19:11Speaker 14: is in that camp, but it's apparent he's doing some
- 19:14Speaker 14: great flexibility work because of what you talked about, the
- 19:17Speaker 14: way he rolled, and the idea that he's not out.
- 19:19Speaker 14: We had a game last week. It was Denver Houston
- 19:22Speaker 14: and Tank Dell, the terrific rookie, goes inside to block
- 19:26Speaker 14: Justin Simmons, the great safety, and he cracks him and
- 19:30Speaker 14: there's a goal one play. So there's bodies all around
- 19:33Speaker 14: and a couple of linemen rolled on Tank and he
- 19:35Speaker 14: got bet backwards and fractured his bibulum. If they had
- 19:39Speaker 14: told us out with Trevor Lawrence, would you have been surprised?
- 19:43Speaker 14: And it didn't happen that way. So he's got a
- 19:45Speaker 14: little bit of good luck in there. But I do
- 19:48Speaker 14: think you're onto something. I think he does a great
- 19:50Speaker 14: job in stretching.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Charles Davis with a CBS Sports, How many times have
- 19:54Speaker 1: you had the Browns this year? Their defense looks great statistically,
- 19:57Speaker 1: They've been rolling through quarterbacks all over the place, and
- 20:01Speaker 1: is this a legitimate playoff team? Can they get to
- 20:03Speaker 1: the finish line.
- 20:04Speaker 14: We're gonna find out what the quarterback situation. In their
- 20:08Speaker 14: four losses, the defense hasn't been nearly as formidable, but
- 20:11Speaker 14: some of that I attribute to how they've had to
- 20:13Speaker 14: play for their offense. Like the first time was when
- 20:16Speaker 14: they thought Deshaun Watson was going to play against Baltimore.
- 20:19Speaker 14: He got ruled out a couple hours before kickoff, and
- 20:21Speaker 14: Dorian Toownson Robinson as a rookie, had taken most of
- 20:24Speaker 14: the snaps that week, but I don't think he was
- 20:26Speaker 14: convinced he was going to play. And I just have
- 20:28Speaker 14: this vision of them walking back in the locker room seventeen.
- 20:31Speaker 14: You're up, what what you know? And I don't mean
- 20:35Speaker 14: that in a bad way. He's actually talked about it,
- 20:37Speaker 14: about how his preparation got better from that point on
- 20:41Speaker 14: normal rookie things. I'm not even dinging him for it,
- 20:43Speaker 14: because we all thought he was going to play. Deshaun
- 20:46Speaker 14: Watson met with us that week. I even was at
- 20:49Speaker 14: the Friday practice and he jogs by me. He's like, dude,
- 20:51Speaker 14: you didn't take any snaps. He goes, no, I'm good.
- 20:54Speaker 14: I'll see Sunday. So we all thought he was going
- 20:56Speaker 14: to play, so I give him a little little on
- 20:58Speaker 14: that one. But the Rams game was towenty to nineteen
- 21:00Speaker 14: JP last Sunday is twenty to nineteen in the fourth quarter.
- 21:04Speaker 14: Now it looks bad at the end. They hang in
- 21:06Speaker 14: there and they battle you like mad. But when the
- 21:09Speaker 14: offense can't totally click, you know what it's like. You
- 21:11Speaker 14: have extra possessions, extra opportunities. Even the best defenses in
- 21:14Speaker 14: the world have a hard time holding up to that.
- 21:17Speaker 14: And they've had some injuries. You know, Denzel Ward has
- 21:19Speaker 14: been out last two weeks. Is the corner Miles Garrett
- 21:22Speaker 14: hurt his shoulder in Denver, and I don't think he's
- 21:24Speaker 14: close to one hundred percent, but he's staying out there
- 21:26Speaker 14: because he's a tough guy.
- 21:28Speaker 3: So we're just watching.
- 21:28Speaker 14: Anthony Walker to middle linebacker, missed a couple of games
- 21:31Speaker 14: and came back because he got hurt in the last time.
- 21:33Speaker 3: We saw him.
- 21:33Speaker 14: I'm trying to count anytimes we've seen the Browns. I
- 21:35Speaker 14: think this might be the fifth coming up we have
- 21:39Speaker 14: lived in the AFC North. We are Russ Belts, Rust
- 21:42Speaker 14: Belts City Central.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Right now, the exclusive extended conversation with Charles Davis available
- 21:47Speaker 1: now on the Official Jaguars Podcast Network, And finally this week,
- 21:51Speaker 1: the final media availability of the week with head coach
- 21:55Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Friday morning.
- 21:57Speaker 6: I mean he's feeling good. You know, we'll see. He
- 22:01Speaker 6: moved around a little bit yesterday.
- 22:02Speaker 5: See how he does today, you know, kind of kind
- 22:06Speaker 5: of base it on you know, medical staff, how Trevor feels,
- 22:09Speaker 5: and uh if he can if he can go or not?
- 22:13Speaker 3: Would you guess questionable destination?
- 22:16Speaker 5: Yes, still be a game on game probably so yeah,
- 22:21Speaker 5: probably so is.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Uh Ezra Cleveland.
- 22:23Speaker 7: You're starring left tackle this week.
- 22:26Speaker 6: I we'll see.
- 22:27Speaker 5: We're getting them reps out there, obviously, I'm getting Tyler Shatley,
- 22:30Speaker 5: you know, inside reps, getting Blake can't some reps out there,
- 22:33Speaker 5: you know, Cole van Landon has been getting some reps.
- 22:35Speaker 6: So a bunch of combinations of guys.
- 22:37Speaker 7: How does look out there at that position?
- 22:41Speaker 6: I mean he seems to look fine, look comfortable.
- 22:44Speaker 5: You know, it's he's got history with Phil and and
- 22:47Speaker 5: you know when when he was when he was drafted,
- 22:51Speaker 5: you know, tackle was gonna be what's gonna be a spot,
- 22:53Speaker 5: and then they moved him inside the need guard help
- 22:55Speaker 5: and he's played guard ever since. But you know, again
- 22:58Speaker 5: at the versatility of the offensive line and the players
- 23:00Speaker 5: that we have, they can they can do that you know,
- 23:03Speaker 5: just benefits benefits us obviously.
- 23:06Speaker 6: You know, in situations like this when it comes.
- 23:08Speaker 4: To making the final decision on Trevor and his ankle,
- 23:10Speaker 4: how much does the weather in the field and that
- 23:13Speaker 4: pregame field tests way into whether or not you think
- 23:15Speaker 4: he can go.
- 23:18Speaker 5: Maybe some, but but not not a whole lot. You know,
- 23:21Speaker 5: it's it's more on you know, Trevor, how he feels,
- 23:24Speaker 5: and and really talking to the docks and and and
- 23:27Speaker 5: seeing medically if you know he's not in any harm.
- 23:32Speaker 14: Obviously what you saw on Monday night coming off the
- 23:35Speaker 14: field and then Tuesday when you.
- 23:36Speaker 11: Got in the building to where you're at here on
- 23:38Speaker 11: a Friday, thinking that it might be a game tap decision.
- 23:41Speaker 14: How surprised are you the way this.
- 23:43Speaker 5: Week has progressed or you know, we've kind of gone
- 23:47Speaker 5: through this with him. We did it, We did it
- 23:49Speaker 5: last year. You know, with the toe, and we've done
- 23:51Speaker 5: it this year with the knee and it and he's
- 23:56Speaker 5: and he's played, you know, if history suggests he's played
- 24:00Speaker 5: the next week, and obviously a year ago at Detroit,
- 24:04Speaker 5: he played the second half.
- 24:05Speaker 6: You know, on that injury.
- 24:07Speaker 5: And it just to me just shows one his toughness,
- 24:11Speaker 5: physical toughness, mental toughness.
- 24:15Speaker 6: I believe, you know, when your quarterback exudes that, I.
- 24:20Speaker 5: Think it does send a message to the rest of
- 24:22Speaker 5: your team, you know, in a good way. And you know,
- 24:27Speaker 5: I'm still optimistic obviously for this weekend, but again, you
- 24:31Speaker 5: know the fact that he's he's willing and able to
- 24:33Speaker 5: put himself out there for his teammates and his team speaks.
