Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 201 | Predictions Ahead of Week 15 Matchup vs. Jets · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

0:16
Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Zam. Kind of honestly with here, Brian Sexton,
0:18
Speaker 1: John Osier with me today as we get ready for
0:21
Speaker 1: Jaguars take on the Jets this weekend in week fourteen.
0:24
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get into our big things straight away
0:26
Speaker 1: this morning brought to you by g EH A Government
0:28
Speaker 1: Employees Health Association benefits for federal employees and retirees. Big
0:32
Speaker 1: thing Number one is limited because I think a little
0:34
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise yesterday as Trevor Lawrence popped up
0:37
Speaker 1: on the injury report as he is limited in practiced
0:40
Speaker 1: yesterday dealing with an ankle injury. Couldn't really tell when
0:43
Speaker 1: we were out there at practice that there was any
0:45
Speaker 1: issue going on. Brian, Is this anything to be worried
0:47
Speaker 1: about or just kind of that time of year.
0:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's kind of that time of year.
0:50
Speaker 2: I didn't see anything, and obviously he was walking out
0:52
Speaker 2: of the locker.
0:53
Speaker 3: Room and up the hallway.
0:54
Speaker 2: I didn't see anything that would indicate that. And I
0:56
Speaker 2: had mentioned John to somebody that one of the differences
0:59
Speaker 2: for this team this year, the quarterback's finally healthy in December.
1:02
Speaker 2: He obviously wasn't last year or the year before. And
1:05
Speaker 2: if this team is going to make a run, they
1:07
Speaker 2: need their quarterback to be on the field and healthy
1:10
Speaker 2: on the practice field during the week as well. So
1:13
Speaker 2: I was surprised by this when I saw it on
1:15
Speaker 2: the injury report too.
1:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, my sense and understanding is it's not a big deal,
1:22
Speaker 4: you know, but as Brian said, he's been hurt last
1:25
Speaker 4: few years. Something to watch, but I don't think it
1:28
Speaker 4: affects Sunday.
1:29
Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing to keep an eye on,
1:31
Speaker 1: just because we have seen when he doesn't practice, but
1:33
Speaker 1: he was out there at practice this week, so that's
1:35
Speaker 1: a good sign for sure. Let's go to our second
1:37
Speaker 1: big thing today, which is all on board because other
1:40
Speaker 1: than Trevor Lawrence, this team is getting healthy right now.
1:42
Speaker 1: We're finally seeing some people return. Obviously we saw Treyvon
1:45
Speaker 1: Walker return last week play quite well, and hopefully some
1:48
Speaker 1: more people coming back this week. John feel like they're
1:52
Speaker 1: kind of getting everybody back at the right time while
1:54
Speaker 1: they're also playing well with the guys that stepped up
1:56
Speaker 1: behind them.
1:57
Speaker 2: Well.
1:57
Speaker 4: I think it's the first time since September that they
1:59
Speaker 4: haven't had a DNA did not practice on a Wednesday,
2:03
Speaker 4: so obviously it's crucial. And at the end of the
2:06
Speaker 4: game on Sunday, I looked at the story I was
2:09
Speaker 4: right and realized, Hey, no injuries for the first time,
2:11
Speaker 4: So that means, okay, maybe Parker Washington gets back. Maybe
2:14
Speaker 4: these guys get back healthy. I think one of the
2:18
Speaker 4: major stories of the season has been their ability to shift,
2:22
Speaker 4: you know, to stay over the shifting sands if you will,
2:25
Speaker 4: and keep playing well despite all the injuries. But yeah,
2:28
Speaker 4: if they get Parker Washington back, They've got Murray back,
2:31
Speaker 4: they got Trayvon back. Now you're starting to hit all cylinders.
2:34
Speaker 3: Brian, you know, the.
2:36
Speaker 2: Reason for optimism late in the season is is that
2:38
Speaker 2: you're starting to get your pieces back. And at one
2:40
Speaker 2: point John I looked and I saw Brian Thomas Junior
2:43
Speaker 2: and Parker Washington and Jacoby Myers who they added, so
2:47
Speaker 2: which the first time perhaps that you're gonna have all
2:49
Speaker 2: of those guys on the field together. Breton Strange is back.
2:53
Speaker 2: I noticed that Delmi Brown, who they paid ten million
2:56
Speaker 2: dollars to that we've almost forgotten about, was healthy in
2:59
Speaker 2: practice as well. So that's forget that he hasn't made
3:02
Speaker 2: a lot of plays this year, but that's depth in
3:04
Speaker 2: case you have more injuries. Right, that group also got
3:08
Speaker 2: Hunter long back and he missed a couple of games,
3:11
Speaker 2: and Johnny Munt had played well and Quenton Morris had
3:13
Speaker 2: played well. So not only are you getting guys back,
3:15
Speaker 2: but guy's kai who had to fill in at times
3:18
Speaker 2: and take on a new role. Quentin Morris in particular
3:20
Speaker 2: has proven that he's worth a role and being active
3:23
Speaker 2: on game day. Same thing in the secondary, where you've
3:25
Speaker 2: got Jordan Lewis and Eric Murray and while they were gone,
3:28
Speaker 2: Antonio Johnson's level of play improved so that when you
3:32
Speaker 2: lose Dewey for a game with a concussion, you don't
3:35
Speaker 2: fall off at all. But now you get Dewey back,
3:37
Speaker 2: so you can look all across the roster. The offensive
3:40
Speaker 2: lines another example of this where because as john mentioned,
3:43
Speaker 2: you had to find a way through the woods without
3:45
Speaker 2: some of these guys, now you've got almost full strength
3:49
Speaker 2: in December, and there aren't a lot of teams that
3:51
Speaker 2: can say that.
3:52
Speaker 1: So into our final big thing today, which is earned
3:54
Speaker 1: their way, it's touching a little bit upon that when
3:56
Speaker 1: we talk about those players stepping up, and now specifically
3:59
Speaker 1: about cole A Landon, who's been playing well, played four
4:01
Speaker 1: different spots on the offensive line so far of this season.
4:04
Speaker 1: Head coach Ian Cohen, so he feels that Van Lennon's
4:07
Speaker 1: earned a spot, a starting spot on this team.
4:10
Speaker 5: I think so.
4:11
Speaker 6: I mean, I think there's definitely he's played enough really
4:14
Speaker 6: good football for us. You know, we've we've got a
4:17
Speaker 6: great situation right now where you've got depth at multiple
4:21
Speaker 6: positions of people that have had had to play for
4:24
Speaker 6: us a lot. This shows up in multiple positions all
4:28
Speaker 6: throughout the team, right You can point to the defensive
4:32
Speaker 6: side of that for things, receiver position. I mean a
4:34
Speaker 6: lot of different positions that guys have been fortunate enough
4:38
Speaker 6: to you know, step up, play well, lead, help lead us,
4:42
Speaker 6: you know, to get to where we are right now.
4:44
Speaker 6: And the message in the locker room is, hey, guys,
4:47
Speaker 6: there's a lot of guys that are coming back right now,
4:49
Speaker 6: and for us to continue to go where we want
4:51
Speaker 6: to go, we've got to use that as an edge.
4:54
Speaker 6: And that depth and experience that we've gotten has to
4:57
Speaker 6: be collective and having a team first mindset of everything
5:00
Speaker 6: we do.
5:01
Speaker 1: Right I think Cole Van Landon's probably the perfect example
5:04
Speaker 1: of it. But we've also seen it on the defensive
5:06
Speaker 1: line with Danny Strigo and bj Green. If you're playing
5:09
Speaker 1: well in practice and you're gonna give this team an advantage,
5:11
Speaker 1: they will play you. They don't feel any allegiance to
5:14
Speaker 1: just because you were the starter to start the season,
5:16
Speaker 1: and that has to motivate the rest of the team
5:18
Speaker 1: to know if you show out in practice, if you
5:19
Speaker 1: play well, you're gonna get your opportunity to play.
5:21
Speaker 2: Listen, Ky, they want the best football player. I think
5:24
Speaker 2: when you look at a guy like Walker Little, you
5:26
Speaker 2: see he's taller, he's bigger, he's got more length. But
5:31
Speaker 2: is he the same football player than Cole Lanta, than
5:33
Speaker 2: Cole van Landon?
5:34
Speaker 4: Is?
5:34
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
5:35
Speaker 2: I think he's a better football player, which means toughness,
5:38
Speaker 2: which means versatility, which means willingness to go from the
5:41
Speaker 2: outside to the inside and then to the other side.
5:44
Speaker 3: If that's what they need.
5:45
Speaker 2: Just a thought again on the depth that you talked about, right,
5:47
Speaker 2: So Van Landen was that guy that could play guard, tackle,
5:50
Speaker 2: left or right. Now he's going to be your starting
5:53
Speaker 2: left tackle. So Walker Little is your swing tackle. But
5:57
Speaker 2: you've got Chuma Edoga who's now back and healthy. In practice, saying,
6:00
Speaker 2: who can play a couple of different positions and play
6:03
Speaker 2: that big tight end role when they need that.
6:05
Speaker 3: On the field as well.
6:07
Speaker 2: And you've got a guy in Wyatt Milem who their
6:08
Speaker 2: confident can play inside or outside, left or right. You've
6:12
Speaker 2: got a lot of versatility and a lot of guys.
6:14
Speaker 2: And when you've got guys who were playing who you
6:16
Speaker 2: didn't expect to play, it creates versatility, it creates depth,
6:19
Speaker 2: and it creates the ability john for coaching staff to
6:22
Speaker 2: do a lot of different things.
6:24
Speaker 4: What a remarkable job this team, franchise, personnel, etc. Has done.
6:32
Speaker 4: We were not sitting here in March in April talking
6:34
Speaker 4: about how deep this team was and how many players
6:36
Speaker 4: they had to step up even after free agency. To me,
6:40
Speaker 4: it remains the story of the season, the fact that
6:44
Speaker 4: this team looks so different in week what thirteen or
6:47
Speaker 4: fourteen than it did in September, at so many different positions,
6:51
Speaker 4: and you feel like they're better.
6:53
Speaker 3: You feel like they.
6:54
Speaker 4: Keep every day trying to figure out what's the best
6:57
Speaker 4: way to make us better, what's the best way to
6:59
Speaker 4: make us deeper. It's again, it's the story of the season,
7:03
Speaker 4: and it not only sets this team up for now,
7:05
Speaker 4: but all of a sudden, you look, there's depth, they
7:08
Speaker 4: know what they want, they have an identity. I don't
7:12
Speaker 4: know what the rest of the season brings, but that
7:14
Speaker 4: part of it is really shaping this franchise, making look
7:17
Speaker 4: so much different than it has in the past.
7:19
Speaker 1: It's very cool to see him kind of watch it
7:20
Speaker 1: go down this way with the new leadership. So awesome
7:23
Speaker 1: to see stays here on jagson We're gonna talk Jets after.

Speaker 1: you check that out. It's that publis or shopping is
7:54
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Welcome back into Jagza. I'm the Jaguars are
7:59
Speaker 1: taking on the Jets this weekend and we're talking a
8:01
Speaker 1: little bit about what that might look like. Obviously, the
8:04
Speaker 1: Jets have been struggling this season. They've got a new
8:06
Speaker 1: head coach and a lot of changes have been going on.
8:08
Speaker 1: But I think what's big this week is that maybe
8:11
Speaker 1: we don't know who the quarterback is going to be.
8:13
Speaker 1: And Liam Cohen talked a little bit the other day
8:16
Speaker 1: about what that means for them preparing for a team
8:18
Speaker 1: when you don't know who's going to be the starting quarterback.
8:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's definitely things you take a look
8:23
Speaker 6: at from from the past and with all three of
8:26
Speaker 6: those quarterbacks that you have to be kind of prepared for.
8:29
Speaker 6: So all three of them a little bit different in
8:31
Speaker 6: their own way, but also from what they're trying to
8:37
Speaker 6: do offensively coming from Detroit, you know, they want to
8:40
Speaker 6: be able to run the football, be physical. So I
8:43
Speaker 6: think that that's where it really starts for those guys,
8:45
Speaker 6: and whoever's playing quarterback, you know, we just got to
8:48
Speaker 6: make sure that we're prepared for.
8:51
Speaker 1: So I think what they would like to do. Obviously
8:52
Speaker 1: Tyrol Taylor's playing, he's going to be out. He got
8:54
Speaker 1: injured in their last game. I think what they would
8:57
Speaker 1: hope is justin fields might be available I mean, that's
8:59
Speaker 1: going to give them their beat opportunity, but we'll kind
9:01
Speaker 1: of see as the week goes long.
9:02
Speaker 2: Well in what sense, I mean, Listen, he can run
9:04
Speaker 2: and he can keep their offense moving down the field
9:07
Speaker 2: with his legs.
9:08
Speaker 3: He is so dangerous that way.
9:10
Speaker 2: But if you've watched him at all this year, it
9:12
Speaker 2: doesn't appear like the passing game is something that he's
9:14
Speaker 2: become proficient at. And I think the Jets took a
9:16
Speaker 2: chance on him because they thought they could get him
9:19
Speaker 2: to that next level and they haven't. And then you've
9:21
Speaker 2: got Tyrod Taylor, who's a veteran guy, maybe more limited
9:24
Speaker 2: physically than he has been at other points in his
9:26
Speaker 2: career where we've seen him. And then you get Brady Cook,
9:28
Speaker 2: who's an undrafted rookie who you don't know what you got.
9:31
Speaker 2: So maybe there's more uncertainty with this quarterback week than
9:35
Speaker 2: we've seen in a long time with any opponent.
9:37
Speaker 4: Well, I think this is the case where at some point,
9:39
Speaker 4: when you're a good team, so I think Jaguars are
9:43
Speaker 4: the whole it's about us thing becomes very real in
9:46
Speaker 4: a sense of if this team plays their game, they're
9:50
Speaker 4: going to beat the Jets. I think you want to
9:52
Speaker 4: get pressure on any quarterback. You want to make this
9:54
Speaker 4: guy run, whoever it is. And I think that's really
9:59
Speaker 4: the approach you take. Somebody asked me this week, and
10:02
Speaker 4: he is, how do you prepare for three quarterbacks diligently
10:06
Speaker 4: and just.
10:06
Speaker 3: Prepare for them all?
10:07
Speaker 4: Well, it's that's at some point you just go play.
10:11
Speaker 3: And it's that old saying that if you have three quarterbacks,
10:13
Speaker 3: you don't have one.
10:14
Speaker 1: Sure, and that's exactly their problem. I think one thing
10:18
Speaker 1: that we know they will focus on is the run
10:20
Speaker 1: game because Breese Hall has been their entire offense pretty
10:23
Speaker 1: much this season, and Liam Cohne talked about what the
10:25
Speaker 1: challenges are facing off against running back like that.
10:28
Speaker 6: He's a weapon to score at any time. He's been
10:31
Speaker 6: doing that since Iowa State. You know, the creative, the
10:35
Speaker 6: creativity when he does get the ball in his hands,
10:38
Speaker 6: and he's bigger, strong, athletic. I mean, he's got a
10:41
Speaker 6: lot of tools. And I just remember always thinking he's
10:44
Speaker 6: just a darn good, damn good football player. He's just
10:48
Speaker 6: somebody who want to try to get the ball to
10:49
Speaker 6: in so many different ways. So very a lot of
10:52
Speaker 6: respect for him.
10:54
Speaker 1: So the Jets are going to try to run it
10:55
Speaker 1: obviously as much as they can. But the good thing
10:57
Speaker 1: about the Jaguars is they're the number one run stop
10:59
Speaker 1: in defense, and they proved it last week against Jonathan Taylor.
11:01
Speaker 1: How do they continue that this week? John isn't just
11:03
Speaker 1: staying diligence to Hay.
11:05
Speaker 4: In the same way Devon Hamilton getting disruption. Look, the
11:08
Speaker 4: Jets are dangerous for a couple of reasons outside of
11:12
Speaker 4: these specifics. They're playing for a first year head coach,
11:16
Speaker 4: which means they're still playing hard, which means they're going
11:19
Speaker 4: to lean into these things that.
11:21
Speaker 3: They do well.
11:22
Speaker 4: They do run well, they'll try to do it. My
11:27
Speaker 4: sense is that this team with Devon Hamilton, the way
11:30
Speaker 4: they play run defense, it doesn't matter so much who
11:33
Speaker 4: they're playing. They're gonna be good in this area.
11:36
Speaker 2: Listen, if the Jaguars face Brady Cook and Breese Hall,
11:39
Speaker 2: you know what they're gonna do. They're gonna stop Breese
11:41
Speaker 2: Hall at all costs and let the rookie quarterback throw
11:43
Speaker 2: it and try to beat them. The issue with Breese
11:46
Speaker 2: Hall is when you've got Justin Fields on the field, Wow,
11:50
Speaker 2: I mean, he is a guy that threatens your run
11:53
Speaker 2: defense and the ability to hand.
11:55
Speaker 3: It off to Breese Hall.
11:57
Speaker 2: The thing I like about Hall is he's patient John
11:59
Speaker 2: and Sonny, meaning he'll wait for the hole to open
12:02
Speaker 2: and when it does, he is off.
12:03
Speaker 3: To the races. I think he's a terrific football player.
12:06
Speaker 2: He's just not playing on a very good team and
12:08
Speaker 2: as a result, we haven't seen his best, although he's
12:10
Speaker 2: over four yards of carry this year.
12:12
Speaker 1: So I'm going to keep an eye on for sure,
12:13
Speaker 1: because if there is a game rerecord for them, that's
12:15
Speaker 1: the guy that it's going to be. Talking a little
12:18
Speaker 1: bit about their defense, they're in kind of troublesome territory
12:21
Speaker 1: in terms of we didn't have a ton of takeaways
12:23
Speaker 1: as a franchise last year. The Jets only have two
12:25
Speaker 1: at this point in this season. And when you don't
12:28
Speaker 1: have takeaways, Liam cohane talked a little bit about what
12:30
Speaker 1: the defense kind of focuses on and what that looks like.
12:33
Speaker 6: They're playing sticky match coverage and you can definitely see
12:38
Speaker 6: their ability to attack the football when it is in
12:41
Speaker 6: the air. I just haven't gotten one down yet. And
12:44
Speaker 6: you know, Aaron Glenn and Steve Wilkes like do a
12:47
Speaker 6: really good job in terms of the back end, and
12:50
Speaker 6: they want to be aggressive and play sticky match coverage
12:53
Speaker 6: at times.
12:53
Speaker 3: So there's a good blend of it.
12:55
Speaker 6: It's just a matter of kind of getting their hands
12:57
Speaker 6: on one and taking it down.
13:00
Speaker 5: John.
13:00
Speaker 1: They're being aggressive with the football obviously Arin Glenn wants
13:03
Speaker 1: to play that way, but you know, are they pressing
13:05
Speaker 1: too much? I mean at a certain point when you're
13:07
Speaker 1: trying to force takeaways. It's a style we've seen obviously
13:10
Speaker 1: with coach Camp coming in the way that they're playing,
13:13
Speaker 1: you know, face forward to the football and using that
13:15
Speaker 1: to their advantage. But I think the only way that
13:17
Speaker 1: Juts are really gonna have a chance in this is
13:19
Speaker 1: if they do find a way to win the turnover battle.
13:21
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it'll be with interceptions.
13:24
Speaker 4: Look, let's call us what it is they gave. They
13:26
Speaker 4: traded their two best defensive players early in the season.
13:29
Speaker 4: This is a team in rebuild on this front. We
13:33
Speaker 4: have seen this, we haven't seen this to this degree.
13:36
Speaker 4: They have zero interceptions. That's really hard to do. One
13:40
Speaker 4: reason they do it is because they do play man,
13:42
Speaker 4: so you're not looking at the ball as much. This
13:44
Speaker 4: team plays a lot of zone the Jags. This team
13:46
Speaker 4: played man last year and had the result of not
13:49
Speaker 4: getting a lot of takeaways. It wouldn't surprise me if
13:52
Speaker 4: they get one this weekend. At some point, Brian, you
13:55
Speaker 4: know they're not gonna go the whole season without getting one,
13:58
Speaker 4: because guess what, that's one of the those records that
14:00
Speaker 4: is unbreakable.
14:01
Speaker 3: And say every record deserves.
14:02
Speaker 4: To be broken.
14:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, zero, that won't be broken.
14:06
Speaker 5: Todd.
14:06
Speaker 2: Maybe you're talking about circumstances for interceptions all the time.
14:09
Speaker 2: The problem is that the Jets run defense without Quinn
14:11
Speaker 2: Williams is porous and teams don't have to put the
14:15
Speaker 2: ball in the air as much, which takes away opportunities
14:18
Speaker 2: to rush the quarterback and force aarrant throws and create interceptions.
14:22
Speaker 2: If the Jaguars can run the ball, and they have
14:25
Speaker 2: proven to be a very good running team this year,
14:27
Speaker 2: then Trevor Lawrence should have plenty of time to stand
14:29
Speaker 2: back there. And we've seen what the addition of Brian
14:31
Speaker 2: Thomas Junior to this offense meant to them last week
14:34
Speaker 2: to get him back, and what Brenton Strange return has done.
14:36
Speaker 2: I don't think they get an interception this week because
14:38
Speaker 2: I don't think the Jaguars have to take a lot
14:39
Speaker 2: of chances. They'll be able to run the ball and
14:42
Speaker 2: keep the Jets from putting the Jaguars in a situation
14:44
Speaker 2: where they have to take chances.
14:46
Speaker 4: Look, we've seen this movie before around here for the
14:49
Speaker 4: Jaguars playing a team like the Jets, you want to
14:52
Speaker 4: make sure that you don't give them anything early. You
14:55
Speaker 4: don't want to give them any reason to hope. And
14:58
Speaker 4: you want them to be in the locker room at
14:59
Speaker 4: halftimes saying, oh, this is gonna be too hard to win.
15:01
Speaker 4: Like if you're if you're a struggling team and you
15:04
Speaker 4: have a lead, now you're fired up a half, Hey,
15:06
Speaker 4: we can win. They need to get ahead, not give
15:10
Speaker 4: them things early, and then be able to ease your
15:14
Speaker 4: way down the second half.
15:15
Speaker 3: And it's a team that doesn't believe it can win.
15:16
Speaker 3: You want them thinking about Christmas by halftime.
15:19
Speaker 1: Yes, just be smart with the football. Think ahead, guys.
15:22
Speaker 1: All right, stay with Hierro Jagsam. We're gonna give you
15:24

Speaker 1: do our best to predict the future today as we
15:54
Speaker 1: try to predict what the headlines are gonna be on
15:56
Speaker 1: Monday morning after this Jets Jags game on Sunday, Brian,
16:00
Speaker 1: what do you think we'll be talking about on Monday?
16:01
Speaker 2: Higher altitude ahead, in other words, saying that the Jaguars,
16:06
Speaker 2: well as they're climbing right and beating the Jets on
16:09
Speaker 2: Sunday gives them a little more altitude. But now you're
16:11
Speaker 2: headed to Denver, the highest altitude in the National Football
16:15
Speaker 2: League literally and figuratively. I mean, this is as good
16:17
Speaker 2: a football team as there is in the AFC, and
16:20
Speaker 2: you're going to have to go out there and we
16:23
Speaker 2: know that that is a well coached football team playing
16:26
Speaker 2: very very well, and we've all been there and it
16:29
Speaker 2: is a raucous atmosphere. It's going to be a huge scene,
16:33
Speaker 2: might even be snowing right before Christmas.
16:37
Speaker 3: Good luck, right, I mean, that's.
16:39
Speaker 2: This, This is the kind of game we wanted this
16:40
Speaker 2: to be, and early in the season we weren't sure
16:42
Speaker 2: what it would be. But now we know it's going
16:44
Speaker 2: to be a huge game. So I'm predicting a big
16:46
Speaker 2: Jaguars win and to build up to a very high
16:49
Speaker 2: altitude game in Denver the following Sunday.
16:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, looking ahead, it sounds like you're already locking the
16:54
Speaker 4: game on Sunday.
16:55
Speaker 2: So we asked to predict, So I predict, call it
17:01
Speaker 2: whatever you'd like.
17:02
Speaker 4: I went with just winning, baby, And it's very similar
17:07
Speaker 4: to your theme. This team, the Jaguars, has gone from
17:12
Speaker 4: a team that we weren't sure about all of a
17:15
Speaker 4: sudden we figured out they were good. And then when
17:18
Speaker 4: you're a good team, there's different things you have to
17:21
Speaker 4: get through. They got through a big game last week.
17:24
Speaker 3: That was very obviously big.
17:26
Speaker 4: This week they have to get through it an equally
17:29
Speaker 4: big game because you have to keep winning to stay
17:33
Speaker 4: ahead of these teams. But at some point, if you're good,
17:38
Speaker 4: and I believe they are, you get to twelve and
17:41
Speaker 4: five or thirteen and four with four or five wins
17:44
Speaker 4: that a year later you look back on and you
17:47
Speaker 4: don't really remember the game that well, but you know
17:50
Speaker 4: they played well.
17:50
Speaker 3: In one.
17:51
Speaker 4: This needs to be one of those kind of games.
17:53
Speaker 4: And I'm not I'm not saying the Jets can't win this,
17:57
Speaker 4: but you do need some late in the season and
18:00
Speaker 4: where hey, you're up by ten and the third quarter,
18:04
Speaker 4: you're not overly straining, you're pulling.
18:05
Speaker 3: Some guys out and Nick Mullen's player.
18:07
Speaker 4: This needs to be one of those uh if, if
18:12
Speaker 4: you're the kind of team that you think you are.
18:13
Speaker 2: Listen, I've had some conversations with guys away from the building,
18:16
Speaker 2: you know, off the record, in the locker room there.
18:18
Speaker 2: I don't see any way they overlook this. The coaching
18:21
Speaker 2: staff is dialed in. We've heard that yesterday from Liam Cohen.
18:24
Speaker 2: They believe that they have what it takes. They also
18:27
Speaker 2: know that they have to deliver that on Sunday to win.
18:31
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'll lock it. I don't see any reason
18:33
Speaker 2: to think that this football team isn't ready to play, and.
18:37
Speaker 3: I don't think that Liam is gonna happen. Well, you
18:39
Speaker 3: guys said it. I just predicted it. We love a lock,
18:44
Speaker 3: is now what we're doing in the segment.
18:46
Speaker 5: Yes, we can lock.
18:47
Speaker 1: If you feel the yurge to lock, we will lock.
18:49
Speaker 3: And now it's a locked.
18:51
Speaker 4: Don't you know you're a locker.
18:53
Speaker 3: I guess there's worse things. You could call me the
18:55
Speaker 3: lock life.
18:56
Speaker 1: I went with ground stop for my headline because I
19:00
Speaker 1: do not think they're gonna overlook the game either, but
19:02
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come down to stopping the run,
19:05
Speaker 1: as it always does in the trenches. Trayvon Walker had
19:08
Speaker 1: a huge fourth and one stop for them last week
19:11
Speaker 1: against the Colts, and I think he's finally getting back
19:14
Speaker 1: to what we've normally seen from him. Feels like he's
19:16
Speaker 1: finally healthy again, ready to go. And I think this
19:19
Speaker 1: will be another great challenge for them, because when we
19:21
Speaker 1: talk about a team that's maybe not playing that well,
19:23
Speaker 1: there's always a challenge within that. And for this week,
19:26
Speaker 1: it's gonna be stopping the run in Breeze Hall. So
19:28
Speaker 1: if they can go out there play well again against
19:30
Speaker 1: the run, I'm gonna feel even better about them going
19:32
Speaker 1: into Denver, and I expect fully that's what we see.
19:35
Speaker 1: It's already been locked, so I'm not gonna go there,
19:37
Speaker 1: but I sounds like you.
19:38
Speaker 3: I think it's a dub.
19:39
Speaker 1: I'll take a dub. We can't triple lock. That's never good,
19:42
Speaker 1: so maybe a double lock that that might be.
19:45
Speaker 3: Okay, But say you scared, jump in the water, swarm.
19:47
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll lock it too, alright, double lock, John, you
19:53
Speaker 1: stay out of this now. Triple lock, that's bad luck,
19:55
Speaker 1: I've heard says Is. Tell you what's coming up the
19:57
Speaker 1: rest of the week before the game once I'm in

20:18
Speaker 3: Tris.
20:20
Speaker 5: I'm gonna trans by. I know you're all ready to
20:22
Speaker 5: go home. Man. We ain't them all the same old chess.
20:25
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
20:26
Speaker 5: We got DT, we got Jakobe Mars. You know what
20:29
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Come home, man. They don't know. They'll know
20:32
Speaker 5: soon though, they'll no soon take the run, toss it
20:36
Speaker 5: underneath handled by Strange. What a different stream makes for
20:40
Speaker 5: this offense? You want a little boy? You want a
20:48
Speaker 5: little boy? You can't, You can't. I come to the outside, friend.
21:06
Speaker 1: Strange miked up last week definitely check that out against
21:09
Speaker 1: the Colts.
21:10
Speaker 5: Trench bully.
21:10
Speaker 1: That's my new favorite word. Love, fellow kids. I love that.
21:14
Speaker 4: He's a fun guy. But he may be the best
21:17
Speaker 4: player on the team. And that's what an All Pro
21:20
Speaker 4: tight end looks like. I don't know if he's going
21:22
Speaker 4: to get that honor because it catches it. It's a
21:25
Speaker 4: wide receiver vote. If it was a vote for a
21:28
Speaker 4: tight end position.
21:29
Speaker 3: He might be All Pro. I will say this.
21:30
Speaker 2: I was listening to a national podcast the other day
21:32
Speaker 2: and it's like they just discovered Brenton Strange. The block
21:36
Speaker 2: on Zy You're Franklin that freed up that twenty eight
21:41
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run caused these guys to go back and
21:43
Speaker 2: watch Brenton Strange to know who he is, and they're like, listen,
21:47
Speaker 2: this guy is really good. So the light is on
21:50
Speaker 2: for people around the league now to watch eighty five.
21:52
Speaker 2: We've seen him, we know what he's capable of. I'm
21:55
Speaker 2: with you, John, the guy is as complete a football
21:57
Speaker 2: player at that position as there is in the league.
22:00
Speaker 2: And I think he is easily one of the two
22:02
Speaker 2: or three best players on this team, maybe number one overall.
22:05
Speaker 4: Here's what you hope happens for him that there's some
22:08
Speaker 4: primetime big game that unfortunately it takes this where the
22:15
Speaker 4: analyst realizes how good he is. But gush is about it.
22:18
Speaker 4: So I like the Beselli game in nine Jason Taylor,
22:21
Speaker 4: Well it was against Bruce and Jason Tambo Bruce, Yeah,
22:25
Speaker 4: but where all of a sudden there's a light and
22:28
Speaker 4: then he can ride that for a long time with
22:30
Speaker 4: the recognition of how good he really is because he's special.
22:33
Speaker 3: You said Beselli game, there were so many of them.
22:35
Speaker 4: It's true.
22:36
Speaker 2: But think about this storyline going to Denver the next week.
22:38
Speaker 2: That's going to be a four o'clock game. It'll probably
22:41
Speaker 2: have a large audience because of the records, and it's
22:44
Speaker 2: going to be Brenton Strange and on the other side
22:46
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram, and so the decision that the Jaguars made
22:49
Speaker 2: to move on from one and to build around the
22:52
Speaker 2: other will easily be a storyline.
22:54
Speaker 3: Perhaps that could be a.
22:55
Speaker 2: Day hopefully everyone sees what we see about number eighty five.
22:59
Speaker 3: That'd be pretty fun.
23:00
Speaker 1: And you know, whenever someone's like seen a movie for
23:02
Speaker 1: the first time and you're like, oh, I wish I
23:03
Speaker 1: could go back and see that movie for the first time.
23:05
Speaker 1: Could you discovering Brenton Strange at this point would be
23:07
Speaker 1: such a joy.
23:08
Speaker 3: When there's a lot of guys on the national basis
23:09
Speaker 3: that are doing that, it's about to be there.
23:12
Speaker 4: I did not expect that, but yeah, what a player.
23:16
Speaker 4: All right?
23:16
Speaker 1: Enjoy the game this weekend. We will be back here
23:18
Speaker 1: on jagxam on Monday to talk all about hopefully another
23:21
Speaker 1: Jaguars win. See then,
