• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Taking on the three and two Seattle Seahawks in Jacksonville, Seahawks have an flag across the country to come take on your jags.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not many folks around the NFL media are giving the Jack Wars the win in this one.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about it.
• 0:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've got bold predictions here.

• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pick up some new dooval gear like the hat I am wearing right now.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll start with the jack's offense, and then we'll get to the jack's defense as well, and we'll have a couple of seahawks things as well here.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, jack's offense.
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: When I look at the jack's offense for us to see Hawk's defense, the seahawks are down, they're three best secondary players, and these are three really, really talented players.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Julia love it, safety has been one of my favorite safeties in the NFL, like unheralded, underrated guy for a long time going back to his time with the giants.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've always just thought he had.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: really diverse game where he could do a lot for you and he brings a lot of juice and intensity energy to the field.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's doubtful, so I say down, but you know doubtful.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Devon with her spoon is doubtful, and he's one of the best young aggressive corners in football and then Tariq Wolin is also doubtful, a concussion.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's three
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: really three of their best players on the team.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Three of their best offenders on the team.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So how do they overcome that?
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have had other guys have to step up.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lately, they've been giving up some points though.
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've been getting up in a lot of points.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, last week, they gave up 38 to the buck and years.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: The week before, they gave up 20 points.
• 2:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I believe to the Cardinals, and it could have been more if the Cardinals just kind of took advantage of some moments that they didn't take advantage of.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you're going to see Nick and man worry, getting more run.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to see, believe Shaquille Griffin is potentially in the plan.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mike McDonald was talking about.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, Kobe Bryant will be out there.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Josh Joe will be out there.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Darian Kendrick.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not just straight up scrubs.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's guys that kind of know how to execute within this system, but
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not your top flight guys, and I think that that's going to spell problems.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: They run a lot of cover three, they run a lot of quarters.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a big day for Brian Thomas Jr.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: and Travis Hunter against backup defensive backs and you know, deami Brown for that matter as well.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: No Britain's strange.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the Jaguar is passing attack is going to funnel more through some of these wider severs versus just going through Britain's strange in company.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Prior to last week Britain's strange was the Jaguar's leading receiver.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's down for about a month, five weeks, whatever it is.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think that the jags are going to move through their receivers this week offensively.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm calling for 60 from Travis Hunter and 8 touchdown.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some big plays.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still don't think he's like all offense or all defense.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be a mix of both in this game.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of what we've seen for the most part.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I do think that the chemistry is building.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that Trevor Lawrence talked about it this week, you know, getting Travis Hunter that touchdown.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's going to be a precursor to Travis Hunter scoring his first touchdown.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm also calling for 100 and a touchdown from Brian Thomas Jr., since that Cincinnati Bengals game, where in my mind he kind of hit rock bottom as a player, confidence wise, all that stuff.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars have been slowly building him back up and building him back up, and last week he had a really good game against a good chief's defense.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Seahawks do not have the guys out there right now to cover Brian Thomas Jr.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: in my opinion.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really don't think they do.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm calling Brian Thomas Jr.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: a big game that kind of reminds everybody why he came in to the 2025 campaign viewed as one of the top young white or sewers in football, one of the best fantasy assets in football, all that stuff, right?
• 4:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, Brian Thomas Jr.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: with a big one, and Trevor Lawrence, I think is going to have a good game as well.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've gotten with 250 plus passing yards.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: You just look at what they've been given up through the air lately in Seattle, especially with these injuries, and then 25 plus yards on the ground as well.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Trevor Lawrence, we've talked about it here, a lot of people are talking about it.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: When he gets those legs going a little bit, he can start to feel it with his arm more as well.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: you don't have to become like this guy who's running the ball ten times a game right but get out on the move four or five times a game and pick up some yards with your legs help the offense keep it moving i think again mike McDonald they do run a diverse array of coverages in in Seattle but
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is mainly cover three and quarters, and I think that with these guys that they have in there, it's gonna be difficult to run everything they want to run, because it's guys that we weren't really expecting to have to have on the field at this point in the season.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think Trevor Lawrence should be able to have a good game, even though Mike McDonald has an incredible defensive coach.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a really smart, detailed oriented coach.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think he's got the guys right now.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: The running game, I think we'll be fascinating.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, he ought to have a really good defensive front as a whole.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a better run defense unit than it is a past-rush unit, and the Jaguar's have a really good pass-protecting offensive line, and the running backs as well.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tydens will be fine in that regard, too, even without Britain's strange, but I think the run game is what's going to be really interesting for the Jaguars if they're able to get that go, and I'm not because
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Leonard Williams is a great run defender.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Marcus Lawrence is back and he's a great run defender.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Byron Murphy as well and some of these backups, Mike Morris, Darren Reed, they can defend the run and then Ernest Jones is a really good run defender too at the second level and he's going to be back.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I look at this and they haven't been allowed much.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think 3.3 yards per carry on the ground.
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: but the jackwares have one of the best run games and football.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the most effective run games.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So even though it's good on good there, I think the ETN gets about 65 yards and a touchdown on about four yards per carry.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not easy sledding by any stretch of the imagination and you get, of course, those Lawrence rushing yards and a little bit of basal toot in here and there a little bit of liquid out in there.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: maybe a receiver gets a jet sweeps, things of that nature.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the jag was get around a hundred yards rushing certainly not like a banner day on the ground but
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: a workmen-like day that can help you win a football game against a banged up Seahawks team.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then defensively for the Jaguars, the Seahawks pass pro at the tackle spot has been really good this year.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Charles Cross, Abraham Lucas, young players, they're starting to kind of come into their own really, Charles Cross, I've always loved as a pass protector, Lucas.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, don't with a lot of injuries and still has, but he's healthy right now.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a big fan of Grey Zable, but he is a rookie.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think that you look at the Seahawks and you have to attack the interior of that offensive line when it comes to the past rush.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you have to get back to stopping the run.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: You just have to.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think the Jaguars will, they're a prideful team, they're mad about what happened against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night on the defensive side of the ball.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They missed tackles, they weren't as disciplined as they normally are.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, a lot of that I've talked about, I think, had to do with Patrick Mahomes, his ability to run the ball, his ability to really be deceptive on not only the read option, but more importantly, the RPOs.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was very difficult for the Jaguars to defend, and they were a little bit too hyped up early in the game.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think you get back to stop in the run a little bit.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got talent to back, they do.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Kenneth Walker is actually arbonade, but I think they stop the run a little bit.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then when it's time to heat up the quarterback, they attack the Seahawks Passport on the interior, and it's not just with Eric Armstead or the guys that line up on the interior, but you can stunt, and the Seahawks will do the same thing to the Jaguars.
• 9:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They'll try to move guys around.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you've got to attack the interior.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: You've got to attack the center, the right guard.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: You even try to attack Grazeable at times in disadvantageous situations for him.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to get some pressure on Sam Donald and look when it comes to Sam Donald, he is a good quarterback in the NFL now, but he is due for one of those classic Sam Donald games.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to happen every year.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am convinced of that.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like even going back to Minnesota last year, he's in a great situation right now with Clint Kubiak dialing up the offense with
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: JSN, Cooper Cup, Tori Horton, AJ Barner, Elijah Arroyo, pretty good past protecting tackles, some good running backs, but he was in a really good situation overall with the Vikings last year as well.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be games where Sam Darnold sees ghosts.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: One of those games happened in Jacksonville last year.
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to happen again a little bit in this one.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be more effective than he was when the Vikings came in here and only scored 12 points in a win.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think he's going to have some moments, and I think the Jack Wars are going to force some of those moments.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a prideful defense.
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Trayvall Walker is going to get a sack against Abraham Lucas, or if he kicks inside.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Eric Armstrong's dead is due for a sack after not getting into the backfield much last week.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I have Josh Hines Allen with the sack fumble in this one.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: he's been really close to getting one of those.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: He basically had one that ended up being an interception in week two, but I think that actually week three excuse me, but I think that he's going to get a sack fumble and this one against against
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Whether it's Charles Cross or, you know, working a game where, you know, maybe do on smooth or somebody, you know, attacks the tackle and, and Josh Hines Allen Dartson, I think he's going to get a big play in this one.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's due for one.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the interceptions, I've Travis Hunter getting an interception.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I have a really big day for him, a touchdown and an interception.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the coming out party,
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: you had like a mini coming out party against the chiefs where he had a really good game on both sides of the ball now I think you see the splash I think you do here in jacksonville second straight week the team is playing at home I also have Jordan Lewis with an interception because quite frankly he's do for one he's been really close a lot and he's been playing great football I think he's going to get samedarnal
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Seahawks, they put up a good fight, though.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even though we talk about all these different numbers, they do put up a good fight.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jason, he's going to get his from Sam Darnold.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is not lining up as much in the slot as he used to.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's about 22% in the slot this year.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's lining up out wide or somewhere else, you know, 78% of the time in 2025.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: If he was just lined up against Jordan Lewis, that's not a good matchup, quite frankly, for him.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he's going to be moving around and he's going to see some Travis Hunter.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to see some Greg Newsom.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would be more concerned with JSN if it was Tyson Campbell.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's in camel covering down the field beyond 10 yards is not as good of a player as Greg Newsom.
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Greg Newsom is going to help them be stickier in coverage as we'll travel this honor when he's out there.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they like Buster Brown a lot too, but I have Jason getting 80 in a score.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: He just heats, he eats every week.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think these tight ends will get some run and you know, Elijah Arroyo.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: AJ Barner, I think that they'll do some things for sure.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I was the Seahawks, I would be wanting to target the running backs out of the backfield, that's where I would really, like, schematically, I think that you could attack the Jack Wars, but they haven't done that a lot.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Kenneth Walker has been targeted like eight times this year's act.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sharbo and it hasn't been targeted a whole lot.
• 13:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think the jags are going to good spot to have a good defensive day against these Seattle Seahawks overall.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be perfect.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the Jaguarists have not shown yet that they can play a perfect game.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've gotten
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Within a few plays of playing really good football, a couple times, but all their games have been close.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I expect this one again to be a one-score game.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have the Jack Wars scoring 27, Cam Little.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: doing a really good job on his field goal tries and Logan Cook is playing better football.
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now the Seahawks part of what can help them is their return units.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have a really good return game and so that's something you have to keep in mind here too.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think the Jaguar's cover units are improving greatly.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I have Jaguar's 27 Seahawks 20 in Jacksonville.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jaguar's improved to 5 and 1.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: to folks finally put some respect on their name.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they do really appreciate y'all tuning in.
