Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 209 | Analyzing the Jaguars Playoff Outlook Following Week 18 Win · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's another victory Monday, the eighth in a row
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: thirteen this season. The Daguars are your AFC South champs
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and the postseason begins this week.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Welcome.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I'm Kinnannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, John Osier with me today.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And it was a fun one yesterday.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go over some of our big things from it,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: brought to you by g EAJ Government Employees Health Association.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Big Thig Number one has to be quarterback one, which
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence. And we've seen the best football we've
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: seen out of him in his career the past two months,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and that coincides in the AFC South title.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: To see the progression and see just the attention to
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: detail from the coaching staff, not just Liam, but obviously
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: it's led by him. Just the attention to detail throughout
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the week and the game planning, feeling the preparation on Sundays,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: feeling it come to life. And I think just stacking
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: all those days and all those weeks now is why
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: we're playing so much better offensively, because sometimes it takes
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: some time, but now we have so many reps and
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I really were ready for whatever the defense throws at
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: us and it's not always perfect, but it's been a
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: fun progression and he's a hell of a coach and
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I'm glad he's here in Jacksonville and very thankful for.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Him, Brian.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: In the off season, there were questions whether Liam Cohen
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was going to be able to do for Trevor Lawrence
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: when he did for Baker Mayfield in the past couple
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of months to put any questions to rest, as we've
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: seen the best of Trevor Lawrence.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Without a doubt.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Remember when the story line was his footwork and how
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: he was going to have to change, and then early
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: this season there were some nuances and things that needed
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: to adjust.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Over the last six.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Weeks, nineteen touchdowns total, just one turnover. It's been a
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: remarkable turnaround for him. And now the confidence level that
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: this team has in their quarterback, well, if you haven't
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: seen the video of Jerry and Jones in the locker
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: room offering that gift, everybody believes in Trevor Lawrence in
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: this building and that means a lot going forward, John
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: because with the playoffs coming and Josh Allen coming in
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: here this week, the Jaguars feel as good about their
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: quarterback as any in the AFC.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Well, and they shiit. He's not just QB one.
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: I think he's a legitimate MVP candidate. If I talk
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: to voters in the offseason and he doesn't win it,
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: I want to know why his numbers, his performance is
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: as good as Drake Mays. Stafford beat him, and Stafford
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: has numbers, But the Ram's gonna have as good record.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: You know, Christian McCaffrey's up there. Jaguars beat them. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying he's a walk away candidate, but for
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: him not to be in the conversation and not to
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: be in the forefront of people's mind for the most
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: valuable player in the NFL, show me what.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Sure, there will be many conversations about that. We'll be
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: keeping track in receipts as always. Big thing number two
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: today is going to be JAG's HQ. There were big
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: off teams and changes, a lot of that evolving around
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the head coach and new GM and Tony bcell is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: stepping into a new role at eedp Liam Cohen talked
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit about why that relationship between all three
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of them is so special.
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: Tony and James and I are you know, it's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: pretty cool relationship. It's it's obviously goes beyond just a
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: working friendship and I can't thank them enough for their support.
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: And we truly do.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: It all together.
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: That's the cool part. Like everything that we do, every
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: decision that we make is together, is a group effort.
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: And just to be to have Tony, to have James
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: and their roles and how you know, the continuity.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: That we have.
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: I think the players feel it. I think the guys
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: in the locker room all believe that we're on the
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: same page and that the amount of time that that
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: we put into these guys, the amount of energy that
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: gets put into these guys. Tony says it all the time,
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: it's all about the grass.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: John were around these guys a lot.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I think tons of credit ghost to Liam Collin what
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: he's been able to do coaching these players. But I'm
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: not sure we're here right now if it wasn't all
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: three of them working together.
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: No, it's you know, people ask you why is it working,
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: and you say, well, the leaderships are on the same page,
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: and they look at you like, well, why wouldn't they
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: be on the same page, Because it doesn't always happen
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: to this degree. James Gladstone, you know the moves he
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: made to get you, Kobe Myers, Liam Cohen, the work
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: with Trevor everything. Tony Bacelli's sort of started all this
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: and was very influential in hiring these two and was very.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Focused early on.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: And this is going to be a transparent relationship where
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: the franchise does things right. And Brian, you've been around
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: longer than I have. The franchise is doing things right
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: because of those three.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, let me give you the best example that I
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: can of that. Last night I walked over to work
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: post game radio from the stadium to the Miller Electric
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Center and walked into a crowd of Jaguars families. In
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: years past, there'd be a tent and people would maybe
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: go through on their way out, but they didn't want
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: to leave. They were in the lunch room, they were
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: out on the practice field. The culture is inclusive, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: it is about the players. You heard Liam Cohen say,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: it's about the players on the grass. But the culture
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: that they've created here is so different than the culture
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: that was here last year. There was no culture under
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Urban Meyer, the culture under Moron or Bradley, and you
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: go all the way back, the culture here is about
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: being a Jaguar and being a part of something bigger
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: than yourself. It was just overwhelming to stand there around.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Jacoby Meyer's family wanted to talk, and Anthony Johnson's Antonio
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Johnson's family wanted to come over and talk. I mean,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: there were just so many people that wanted to be
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: a part of this thing, and the Jaguars made sure
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: John that all of them felt like they were part
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: of it. And there was a jewel of that we
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: can talk about forever and ever. But they've got something
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: special going here right now because of what Tony Biselli,
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: James Gladstone, and Liam Cohen have done. And I just
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: want to say one thing about Bisselli because we spend
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: so much time talking about Cohen and Coach of.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: The Year, and he deserves it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Quietly, whether he's sitting in the lunch room or walking
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: on the practice field or walking through the halls, the
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: way that he has gone about this job this year
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: is remarkable, the way that people look at him, the
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: way that he talks to people. He has done a
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: remarkable job of giving this franchise an opportunity and they've
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: taken advantage of it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, final thought, Guy he might be as good in
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: the front office as he was on the field.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: And he's a Hall of Fame.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hall of Famer.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: That's quite high praise, and I think from what we've
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: seen so far just in one year, he's definitely working
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: towards that. If he's not there already, our final big
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: thing today is going to be it's about us.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Because we talk about this team, they are all one.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: They are working together, and just what they've been able
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to do on the field, it feels like it's not
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: just individuals, it's all them playing together.
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: It's very cool to realize for me as a player
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: the position that I am, that I don't have to
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: have the best game to have a win like this
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: or to win games because other guys are having their
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: moments as well, that I can continue to do what
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: I do, but celebrate those guys and celebrate those moments
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: and when it is my time to go, it's my
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: time to go. And AJ was like, you know, was
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: it my best game? I don't know, was it my
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: most impactful game? Probably wasn't. I did with a lot
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: of good things, But to sit back there and watch
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: AJ get that pick, and for me, what can I do?
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: To help to get a block, run my boat off
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: to get a block so he can find his way
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: and the in zone so he can have his moment.
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: And that's what we have a collective of guys to do.
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: And I think again, that's what makes our team.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Special, right And there's been many times when Josh Hensand
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: was the best player out on the field for the Jaguars.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: But it is cool now that it's a full team effort.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It can be anybody's best game any week. And what's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: even cooler about that is than when you're taking on
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: an opponent. Now that we know it's going to be
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the Bills, it feels like it doesn't matter as long
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: as the Jaguars play their best games.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Now there's so many opportunities, places and people where you're
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: going to see success. The offensive line this year has
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: been a great one where they've had to move players
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: on and off the field, the secondary where they've had
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: to overcome injuries.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, how are we here at the end of
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: this first segment.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: We haven't even mentioned the fact that Kim Little kicked
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: the longest outdoor field goal in NFL history now owns
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: one and two. It doesn't matter who it is it
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: matters when their moment is there, do they rise to it?
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: And they have and I'll reference to Jarry and Jones
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: video once again. I mean to see the joy on
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: their faces in the locker room together yesterday is very
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: similar to the way that they play and it's it's
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: been a good run as any in Jaguars history.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't fake what's going on. You can't fake
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: the emotion in the locker room and they say Liam
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: coming in and they're excited for that moment.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Look, winning helps you know.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: If that momentum and broken when you see this level.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: I don't know, but sometimes you get around stories and
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: teams that you know are special and you always remember,
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: and this is one of them.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Stays here on Jagsam.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll go over the highlights from yesterday and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: talk more about.
• 9:13

  Speaker 2: Zip Chairs Furniture for fans.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: Longest wave in existence. You know, I just thought that
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: was pretty cool as well. But uh, you know, I
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: love our fans, man, I love them. I love when
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: to hear Duval in the crowd chanting as loud as
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: you can. I think that's an intimidating factor for us
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: that we can kind of hold on to a little
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: bit more so when the playoff game. Let's get a
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: little bit more of that, a little bit more juice
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: in the stands, and we'll get the next one.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Let's get more loud, loud in the stadium yesterday, and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I have feelings can be very loud on Sunday at
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: one to take on the Bills in close season, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I did see that wave going on for like a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: solid five ten minutes there in the third quarter, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, we've reached.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: That point in the game.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: It is impressive.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: It was very impressive.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some of the highlights of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: me yesterday. Titans came out early. Obviously, Jeffrey Simmons got
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence on the very first play of the game,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and then Titans were able to score early as well.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately for cam Ward and the Titans, because they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: got so much going on over there, he injured himself
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: on this touchdown run.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And I don't feel bad for the Titans.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far, but I mean they definitely
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: didn't need that on the icing to the cake of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: No, The've got a lot of uncertainty now, obviously, which
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: only helps the Jaguars cement their hold at the top
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: of the AFC South. They're going to do coach and
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: the quarterbacks got a shoulder injury. Now we'll see what
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: that becomes. And for the Jaguars, it meant that they
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: got him out of the game and Brandon Allen came
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: in and could do nothing. It's why the game became
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: forty one to seven. It wasn't somewhat closer.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I think, what's cool about or not cool?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: What's interesting when I look at the Titans and I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: look at the Jaguars, and we look at last season.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Both teams were in really bad positions at that point,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and how quickly the Jaguars were able to turn things around. John,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen it with some other franchises. The
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Bears are doing and the Patriots are kind of doing
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it this year as well, But there isn't as much
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of the hey, I need a couple of years to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: fix this as we've seen in the past. Now you're
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: seeing some franchises that can turn the page quickly.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, not all franchises had Tony Selli involved. I mean,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: I'm not trying to overplay this, but this is a
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: guy who understood what this franchise needed. He had been
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: around it and again was very influential and making sure
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: that this team got Liam Cohen knew what they wanted,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: had that eye. Was there some luck involve Sure, when
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: you're hiring people, you never completely knows it's all going
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: to work out like this because I think a lot
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: of people listening when you said anything associated feeling sorry
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: for the Titans probably started laughing. And for those people, yes,
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: it was your largest margin of victory over that franchise,
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: the most points it gets that franchise, and you beat
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: that franchise sixty six to ten.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Brian, there are people who like.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: That, Oh yeah, a lot. And the jackers of one
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: seven of the last day.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: I'll also say this, there was talent here, right, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: mean the Titans don't have enough talent. They have a
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: few players, the roster had plenty of talented guys. They
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: just weren't used correctly last year. Offense, defense, special teams
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: have special teams the same guys here. But you get
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying is is that Liam comes in and
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Tony comes in, they build.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: A culture, they change the way that they do things.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: They put guys in a position to succeed on defense
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: in particular, and they took what was here and flipped
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: it from four to thirteen to thirteen and four without
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: really bringing in I mean, it wasn't like they went
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: out and wrote the big check for the high dollar
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: free agent. They brought some players in here like Robert Hainsey,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: who were good players, but most people whore watching this
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: didn't know who Robert Handy was last year, and yet
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: they made a significant difference. That's what stands out so
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: much to me is they walked in here and said, oh, okay,
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: we can do something with this.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And talk about elevating the players that are already here.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Let's look at Parker Washington's touchdown from yesterday, because that's
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: someone we saw in training camp looked amazing. But to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: think that he's at this point that he's at in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the season, John, we always talk about this.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Look at what Parker's been doing this season.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: Well, and again I said last week, I think he's
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: made a Robbert I mean, he he took a hit
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: yesterday where I think Trevor was like, oh no, and
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: it looked at they're like two minutes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Parker's standing up and he's doing his arms.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: And it's like, you know the guy who you know
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: you hit a cockroach and he keeps on running around.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: He's a remarkable, remarkable player, and it goes to show
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: sometimes you see these training camp and OTA stories and
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: they get lost this team. Parker is the best example,
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: but there are others. Jarian Jones, Antonio Johnson, Oh this
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: guy's playing, well, well, we're gonna we're not gonna ignore that.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: We're gonna make sure we maximize that. And Parker Washington
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: is a core player on this team.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: He's also a tough guy, you know, and he wants
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: to play and it might have hurt him, I don't know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: but there was no.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Way you could hurts Parker Washington.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're probably right.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: He was going to get back on the field that
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: all costs because he wanted to be a part of it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: These guys love playing with and for Trevor Lawrence and
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, listen. He finished the year with the most
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: receptions and the most passing receiving yards by a Jaguars
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: wide receiver.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: And who would have thought.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: That was going to be the case when the season
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: began and you had Brian Thomas Junior and Travis Hunter
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: and they spent ten million on Deanni Brown and here
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: comes Parker Washington, which just goes to show when they
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: needed him, he showed up big.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: And by the way, that throw doesn't happen in weeks
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: five through six. That was a confidence throw. That was
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: a big time dart. It's what Trevor's doing well. And
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: it was an early statement that game. Okay, you got
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: a lead, but we're the better team.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's the trust to go around we saw.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I think Liam mentioned in his speech every skill position
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: player had to catch in this game. So on the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: second touchdown, it was going to Brent Strange, but btj's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: pass interference call kind of set things up on that play.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And John, when we talk about.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: The offense with when it was Parker, the trust factors
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that he's throwing it because he knows where Parker is
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: going to be. He still is trust in everybody in
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: this offense at this point in the season, which it
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like he's forcing it to anybody.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: And in particular, he didn't carry throws it too.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: I was rewatching the game this morning, and there are
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: a couple of times, at least once, but I think
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: a couple of times where the announcer you know, oh
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: it's Brian Thomas Junior, it's Jacobe Meyers. Because there's no
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: trend in this, it doesn't matter to him who he's
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: thrown to. There was a series early it may have
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: been this one where he went to Brenton three times.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: Yep, because it was there through to Parker.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's I said it a million times
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: in this show. Most impressive things happened this year beyond
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: the obvious story of Trevor emerging as one of the
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: best players in the league is the fact that this
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: wide receiver corps was a liability early in the season.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: And I'm not saying against those guys, but drops you
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: didn't know what they were and you thought Trevor can't
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: trust this. It's a strength and as you go into
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: the playoffs, one of the reasons you feel great about
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: this even though the running game isn't quite where they
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: want it to be, is you know, Trevor has complete
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: confidence in everything that's going on around him.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: That was not the case in Nottop.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Well, listen, he had confidence on that throw.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Let's not overlook the throw to Brian Thomas where he
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: had Jeffrey Simmons bearing.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Down on him.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: That was a throw that Patrick Mahomes made on Monday
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Night Football where the Jaguars had him dead to right
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: and he put the ball up and it became a completion.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: In this case, it became a pass interference. He put
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: the ball where Brian Thomas could go make a play
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: on it and drew the flag. That's another thing that
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: we have seen from him is timely throws under pressure,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: and he delivered a big one yesterday that set up
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: a fourteen to seven league.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: He had a couple of yesterday pure talent throws. Even
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: one of them was sort of a checkdown, but he's
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: under pressure and flicks it. I think it was Brenton
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Strange over on the left, could have easily fallen short
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: and all of a sudden you're looking at third and long.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Instead it's a first down. You keep going. He has
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: some hidden plays that are special the great quarterbacks do.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of those other players contributing that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about kind of you know, star games
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: here and there. Antonio Johnson, who's had some very impressive role,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: impressive plays on defense, after maybe not a great season
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: last year, we didn't know what he could be. We
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: always knew these athletic here with the pick six, not
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that anything was ever in jeopardy at this point, but
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: then you're kind.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Of like, all right, everybody's going to do it today,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: we got it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Antonio Johnson started the season as a special teams player.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Remember they signed Eric Murray and then they drafted Caleb Brandsaw.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: They didn't see Antonio Johnson in this role, and they
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: gave him the opportunity. And this year under Anthony Campanealy,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: he finishes with a career high five interceptions, and that
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: was a great play.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: It blew it open.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: But he finished the game last week, you know, with
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: then interception as well.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: He's a momentum player.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: He delivers hits in the run game, he delivers quarterback
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: pressures when they've sent him in the pass rush, and
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: he delivers takeaways when he's had the opportunity. This year,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: he is a great example of the player who was
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: here last year, who didn't have a role, who was
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: an unknown when training camp began and became something special.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: He's a big part of what they do on defense.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah kay, he said it wasn't in doubt. This is
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: a moment's league, and it's fourteen to seven there on
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: the other side of the fifty. I don't think the
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: Titans win that game. But if they score there and
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: make it fourteen to ten, it's not the happiest celebration
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: dance in the rain game. I mean, it's so that
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: play was big and Antonio he catches the ball, which
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: not all defensive backs do, and he's caught the five interceptions.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Forty years ago that wasn't a lot.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: Five interceptions in the NFL these days is a lot
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: of interceptions.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: He's had a really impressive season.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Three of those I think are on the last defensive
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: plays of the football game, which is.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Kind of like calling game.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You're like Texans game, Remember picked up my ball and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: go home? So pretty cool moments there as well. And
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: then of course we have to talk about Cam Little,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: who already owns the NFL's longest field goal record.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Indoors is Brian as you mentioned now he owns.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: The outdoors as well, and it's just so funny because
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: he lines up at this point and.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh, yeah, it's almost an gimme it. Feel well.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: I wonder what Mike McCoy was thinking when he decided
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: on fourth down.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Especially because he knows better than anybody I can't do that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, you just listen.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: When you see this, you think, well, that's three points
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: and from sixty seven yards away. I'm not sure at
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: what year, whether it was last year or this year
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: that we decided that that is that scoring territory in.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: The NFL, whether you the Cowboys.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: With Brandon Awberry or the Jaguars with Cam Little, but
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I thought, Mike.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: What are you doing? You should at least punted.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: You're gonna give them three points and then outtrots Cam
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: and sixty seven yards. So what probably my favorite moment
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: of the game yesterday, just because it's been that kind
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: of a season where you've had spec fun plays, whether
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: it was the seventy yarder that he kicked in the
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: preseason or the sixty eight yard er in Vegas.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: This was like, oh, yeah, this might be our year.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: It's a good thing they didn't cut him.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember when everyone wants to bring someone.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: In that's just calm down.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Patience is not a virtue in this league. Well, it
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: is a virtue, people just don't see it as one.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm very happy they were patient with him, patient
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: with him for those couple of weeks earlier in this And.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Apparently apparently there's a better kicker out there because you're
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: not in the Pro Bowl.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: But is it the guy of Baltimore.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: I don't know who it is too, maybe but it
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: might have been a miss.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see if they can have the Pro Bowls.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: We'll see what camp can do in the playoffs for sure.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Stay with us, Hear and jag Zam.
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: We're gonna tell you what our hot takes are after
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: the break.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: The exam hot takes brought me by fire Huse ups.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And Brian, you like you wanted to mention this, I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: thought we'd show the footage. This is when the Internet
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: comes to life. I don't know if you guys have
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: seen the AI image of Trevor with grills and well
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: now he's got real girls. I'm sure Marissa was in
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: on this as well, because I don't know how he got.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Molds for his teeth. But the defense gifting a set
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: of grills.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: To Trevor, Lawrence and Austin. If that's not a good
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: omen for the playoffs, I don't know what is.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: John. If we win, I'll get you set.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: To I don't know that Sherry would be able to locate.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I'll talk to you and he's sort.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: Of sizing for my teeth. So that's impressive stuff. But
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: it's it's again. There are memories and moments like you're
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: about to say, it's a moment that make you realize,
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: you know, you can't fake it and you can't invent
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: this sort of camaraderie.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: It has to come from, you know, a.
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: Year's worth of these guys being together and genuinely liking
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: each other.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Well, you can see it if you go back and
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: watch it. You see an Anton Harrison, who's over Trevor's
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: left shoulder. You just see the look of pure joy
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: on his face. And the other thing is the way
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: that this team has rallied around him, the way that
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: they believe in him.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: It is I believe in him too.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: I've not seen that in the Jaguars locker room since
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: nineteen ninety six.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: All right, Brian, what's your hot take for US today?
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: One at us to reference nineteen ninety six.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Again, this football team is playing so well on every
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: side of the ball. Your kicker just kicked a sixty
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: seven yard field goal. Your run defense hasn't allowed a
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: running back to run for more than seventy five yards
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: in a single game all season, and your quarterback is playing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: At the top of the National Football League. As John said,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: an MVP level. Listen.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: That is not a formula for maybe the Jaguars can
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: do it. It's a formula for the Jaguars can do it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: And I say, why not go get it done. They
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: have the number one run defense and this week, John,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: they get the number one rushing offense in football. The
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Bills come in here having passed the Baltimore Ravens yesterday
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: at one fifty nine point four rushing yards per game,
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: So it's just about right half they the Jaguars give
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: up eighty five. They they run for one man. Let's
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: see what this thing does. I think the Jaguars are
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: a team that is well, let's put this way. They're
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: not the front runner in the AFC. That's the Denver
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Bronco because the number one seed. But I'm not sure
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: there's a better team in the AFC than this one.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: The AFC is can be a dogfight.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know if the jag Wars will win it,
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: but there's four or five teams that can, and they're
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: one of them. Look, this thing can end in a hurry.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: It's why my hot take is very cool. Now forget
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: about it, which they will. I mean, the division's cool.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: I mean the season has been cool. All those videos
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: are cool. It can be over Monday morning. Yeah, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: when it ends in this league, it ends fast. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: that's why.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: We've all talked about it on this show.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: The eight games they had to win to get here,
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: they're used to this. They're playoff tested. They've beaten two
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: playoff teams during that streak. They beat the Colts twice.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: They're a good team. And now I meant Trevor talked
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: about in the podium, you got to go win it
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: and have another chance. And it's about who's playing the best,
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: and this team has a chance.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Drag Wars are I think playing at the top of
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: the AFC. The one thing you've got as a quarterback
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: in Josh Allen. People may have seen a couple of
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: weeks ago they were down thirty five to seven to
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: the Patriots were the number two seed on the road
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: in New England, and they came back and won. They
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: have five wins this year where they're down two touchdowns
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: they come back.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: So this is going to be a nail bier all
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: the way.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Jaguars have won the last five or six games by
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: what nineteen point one points.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: That's not happening this week.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: And but this is the This is the best situation
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: the Jaguars have ever had going into the playoffs. And
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: I know they had two home games in ninety nine,
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: but eight straight games going in they have momentumumber ninety eight.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: They got there, but they sort of, you know, lost late,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: lost to the Titans late. There was questions about, you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: in ninety nine snuck in in twenty two eight games
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: in a row with a win over that number one seed,
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: they should be considered a favorite along with the Patriots
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: and the Broncos.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: John, I think you made a good point about kind
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: of enjoying this but moving forward, because I felt like
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the team was on that page. Because there's sometimes when
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: you see when someone wins a division and there's celebration,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: as there should be, but they're not just happy to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: be there. There was very much Okay, cool, we're happy
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: we won as we expected.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Now what's next.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: And that's a good spot to be to see they're
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: not just happy to be in the playoffs.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: Every team would say that in that situation, But.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: I don't know how to express it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: You just felt it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: There's a vibe you can feel for sure. I We've
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: been around enough teams that I felt that for sure.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: It was excitement, yes, but okay, we got to we'll
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: get back to work. And there's other places where it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: just excitement to be a part of it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: It has the feel, Brian of a team that's been
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: there before, even though it sort of hasn't. But I
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: guess there are players in this locker room who you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: who were there in twenty two when they won and
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: then lost, and they're in twenty three when it fell apart.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: So I do kind of think we forget that a
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: lot of these guys have had this, have touched this
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: kind of experience before, and that may be giving them
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: perspective that fans don't realize they have.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: Let me bring back a term from February intangibly rich.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: The Jaguars are intangibly billionaires right now. I mean in
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: that locker room. You have so many things going their way.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: You felt it all in the video with Liam, the
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: video with Jarian, over this eight game stretch to watch
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: and to listen to these players, and then I felt
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: it as I walked through the families last night as
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: they were celebrating together. The intangibles around this football team
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: are at an all time high, and I think the Jaguars, Brass, Tony, James,
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: and Liam will understand how to harness that because they
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: have all been involved with these kinds.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Of late season runs, even if their players haven't.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: Tony with the Jaguars, and James and Liam with the
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Rams and the Buccaneers.
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: I think, which you can get lost too kind many
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: to delay your fiery hot take. They've got all this,
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: They've got a lot of things going, They've got the
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: defense playing very well. I got a lot of questions
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: last night, why does this feel real?
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: Sixteen?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And that leads right into my take, which is this
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: team will go as far as Trevor will take them,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and that for me means in the past three years,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: never Trevor hater by Eddy means.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: But I was waiting to see it.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I wasn't here for that twenty two run, I didn't
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: get to see him do those crazy magical things. And yes,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: he's been banged up, so there's some stuff in between there.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: But these past two months is the Trevor Lawrence that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I think we all knew he could be, and he's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: been consistently for a good amount of time now, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: this team has won games because of what Trevor Lawrence
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: has done and I'm not sure that he's done that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: consistently before. So now, when you have a defense that's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: playing as well as they've been playing, a special teams
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that can be complimentary to your team, and a quarterback
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: that can win you football games, that's what's going to get.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: It done in the playoffs.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: And at no point do I feel that they're going
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to be deficient in that, even going up against Josh
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Allen and the Bills. And we'll talk more about that
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: this week. But Trevor Lawrence can go out there and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: win you a regular season game and a playoff game.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if people pay enough attention to
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: the little mechanics of a football game, the way that
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: he gets a team to the line of scrimmage, the
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: way that he gets in and out of the huddle,
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: but I see it on the practice field every week,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: and he has john claimed control of this thing. I mean,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: they don't show video of it practices, practice, but the
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: way that he steps out of the huddle head get
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: in here, and the way that he commands at the
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: line of scrimmage is so different that it was even
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: early this year.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: It was never that way in twenty two. Kai.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: He is a different player in the sense that he
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: feels this is his and his teammates have given.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: It to him and they're following him.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: I don't mean to keep eating his drum, but I
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: guess I do. If you only looked at the sea.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: He's the most valuable player in the NFL over the
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: last two months of the season. Yeah, he's the best
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: player in the NFL right now. And I don't necessarily
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: I keep getting emails when's it gonna end?
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: Why do I trust this?
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Look?
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: I don't care why you trust it anymore. This is
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: what he is and uh, I'm not looking ahead. But
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: he's only he's only known Liam Cohen for like ten months. Yeah,
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: how good is this gonna look? As he goes forward?
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: Because they have a core around him, So look out.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Actually comfortable together and seeing this grow. It's gonna be
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: fun to see it in the postseason for the first time.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: To say with the sun.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Jagzam will tell you what's coming up this week as
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: we get ready for the playoffs.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Jag Vam brought to you today by Hynday.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: We're here in the Hundai Studios and this Sundays now
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that we know playoff game gonna be brought to you
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: by dailies, it's nicer here. There's tickets out there, go
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and get them because a lot of them are already gone.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: And this place is going to be rocking on Sunday afternoon, and.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Everyone that is not held by a Jaguars fan, it
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: will be held by a Bills fan.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: They will fill your building if you don't.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: So the home field advantage that Josh talked about earlier
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: in this show is it will be a huge difference maker.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: So we need people there.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: And this kind of goes without saying, but most people
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: watching this have been to a playoff game. If you
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: happen not to have been too a playoff game, even
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: the jaded old sports rider in me will tell you
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: they're different. There's a different energy to it and that
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: stadium is fun to be in during a playoff game.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Little Florida Sunday afternoon weather.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't feel like I need to convince
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: anybody because she's going to be awesome. And we'll talk
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: more later in the week. But going up against the Bills,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: who have Josh Allen against Trevor Lawrence, who we know
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: has been playing amazing, this could be a cool quarterback
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: battle too.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it'd be great. I just read this morning.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Josh Allen's never won a road playoff game, so they
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: are used to playing at home. They won five in
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: a row in the first round. They've won a playoff
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: game in the last five seasons consecutive, but they've all
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: been at home. So you get him on the road
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: and listen, he's great, but Trevor has The numbers are
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: almost the same. He's got twenty five touchdowns and ten interceptions.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: And what Trevor finished with twenty seven touchdowns twenty eight, yeah,
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: twenty nine and nine rushing ran for nine.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: So look, he's.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: This is absolutely a game where if Trevor goes out
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: and outplays Josh Allen, that's not what it's about. But
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: that's what National media likes to latch onto there's no
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: reason that Jay Wars don't win this game. There's also
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: any reason the Bills on win this game. It's that
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: sort of game.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: And as I mentioned earlier, they run for one hundred
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: and sixty yards a game, So we're taking the number
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: one runt defense and putting it up against the number
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: one run offense.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: That alone is worth the price of admission.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And the stat I've been hammering all week it felt
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: like last week that they haven't allowed one hundred yard rusher.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I believe per our stats, they haven't allowed a seventy
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: five yard rusher.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Dalthn Taylor got close seventy four.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: The only two seventy yard performances were both Jonathan Taylor,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: who was one of the best runners in the league
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: But this kid Cook is good.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: You can do it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: So that's gonna be something we'll look at later this
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: week as well. But for now, enjoy this victory Monday,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: eighth in a row as we had into the playoffs.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: We'll see you back here on jag Zam later this week.
