Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 165 | Predictions & Expectations for Jaguars vs. Bengals · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Gets the Bengals on Sunday afternoon, and the Jaguars find
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: themselves john in a position to face a really potent offense.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: We're talking about one that, when it is functioning on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: all cylinders, is as good as any in professional football.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Well, they have great quarterback, they have great receivers, They're tough,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: they're resilient. They started slow in recent years, they seem
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to be very determined not to do that. I think
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: it's a dangerous matchup. I think Jaguars can win if
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: they play physically. But it's certainly a bigger task than
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: last week ry.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: But I know a lot of people are thinking, well,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it's a slow start, that's something they've seen from Zach
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Taylor and his team in recent years. But I think
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it's worth pointing out that the Cleveland Browns are an
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: excellent defense, maybe one of the best two or three
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in professional football. So it means that the Jaguars, who
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: played well last week against an underwhelming offense, have really
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: got to take their game up a level. So the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: pressure would seem to be important this week. We saw
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it last week from Josh Allen, who had eight. We
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of saccually Duan Smoot got there
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: this week. You're talking about guys having to get.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Home well, and anybody who's followed football in the last
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: two or three years knows that the way to get
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati is to pressure Burrow. The problem is when you
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: pressure him, he's still usually good in the face of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: that pressure. So you've got to get interior pressure, and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: then when you get a chance at him, you got
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to get him down. And then once you get him down,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you have to get him down again and again and again.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Because I said it all week, he's one of the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: few guys in the NFL who you can hit, get down,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: sack him seven or eight times and he still beats you.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So you've got to have a competitive stamina, is my phrase.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Brian was very good phrase, and the three of us
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: were all just in Anthony Campanelli, the defensive coordinator's press conference,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and he talked about the difference between sacking Joe Burrow,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: which is very difficult to do, and pressuring Joe Burrow,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: which means moving him off the spot, making him look
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: for his second option, sometimes even his third. They have
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to get pressure and there's an opportunity for them to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: get pressure. Tie with Eric Armstead, who last week was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: working against guards who are amongst the best in the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: NFL in Carolina. This week, they're not as good as
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: those Carolina guards. So the Jaguars know if they're gonna
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: get pressure, it's gonna have to start inside with their
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: interior guys, because the tackles in Cincinnati are big and athletic.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: We talked a lot about what the Bengals are going
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to look like this week. Let's talk a little bit
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: about what the Jaguars are going to look like. We
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: have big things brought to you by GEAJ Government Employees
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Health Association, So we'll start with a big thing, number two,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: because run it back. We talked a ton about what
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the run defense looked, the run game looked like for
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars. Putting two hundred yards rushing into this game,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Brian a Trade tanks Bigsby, but track had today. We've
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: seen a ton out of those rookies. I imagine this
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: is going to be a focus that I'm going forward
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to still put a huge emphasis on the run.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Williston. We've talked at length guy about Travis etn and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the training camp that he had, the way he performed
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: during the preseason and We saw it early last week
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that he is all of a sudden attacking between the tackles,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: which I never gave him a lot of credit for.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he was very good at it. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: last week the offensive line was exceptional and it allowed
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Travis to play both inside and out and of course
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the cut that he made on that seventy one yard
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: where he went back inside before making it outside again.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He's playing at a very high level and John. They
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in Baseheal Tutan and Leaquin
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Allen Junior. They feel like they are ready to go.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Will they run for two hundred yards every week? No,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but will they be able to run when they want
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to run, which is what Robert Hainsey told me last week.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: If the center is right, they should be able to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they love to. I think the trade of Bigsby
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: was far more about how much they like Etn in
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: this offense and where they think Tuton can go. It
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: seemed last week that the plan was to alternate Travis
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and Tank a little bit. Well, they really want to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: get Tutin in that I'm called a rotation, but in
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the back and forth as one of the top two backs,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it ain't Touton can match Etn in terms of productivity.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Well, he's so patient, right, I mean for a young
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: runner to be willing to let things evolve, you don't
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: see that all the time. And then his first step
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that get up and go kai. I mean, man, he
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: goes from zero to sixty in just a second or two.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see with given some extra carries. Now
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: as the offense kind of evolves, as this goes along,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: what Touton's going to be able to do? So our
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: final big thing, which is more to proof great for
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the Daguars to get a win over the Carolina Panthers
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: this week. The Bengals are going to be putting up
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a different kind of product, a different kind of thing
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: they're going to need to deal with. Trevor Lawrence analyze
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the defense a little bit for Cincinnati.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Getting their hands on some passes and getting some turnovers.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Those were b in the right spot at the right time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Guys making plays kind of changed the game. Obviously. You
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: know with Hendrickson, always have to know where he's at.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And he's a great player, has proven himself in this
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: league time and time again, so give him his respect. Obviously,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: with with our preparation and just knowing where he's at.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: He's a really good player and you know, have to
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: take care of him, so that's obviously something there. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: just the defense was flying around. I think made a
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: lot of plays, did a nice job in the run game,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: you know, really, like I said, great, and turnovers in
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: the back end that's the name of the game, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: they created a couple of them. So it's good defense
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: that's flying around. A few of the guys have been
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: there for a while, a bunch the leaders.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: On that defense, Bengals defense, and nothing to write home
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: about the last couple of years. They've got a new
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: coordinator in there. The Bengals in Week one are looking
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: a lot different than they did last season. John, when
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: we look at this for what Trevor's needs to kind
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: of we saw him look confident and under control in
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: the system last week. This is gonna be a different
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: kind of challenge for him. What are we you hoping
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: to see?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I got some travel estates, well, I think he said,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: more and more consistency. The Steven goes on. I thought
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: he played fine in the first half. I thought he
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: played fine in the fourth quarter. He didn't play well
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: in the third quarter on Sunday, but he looked into
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: control of the offense. He looked like a guy who
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: was making overall good decisions and missed a couple of throws.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So I was fine with the way he played. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: think they can get through the other part of their
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: schedule with him playing that way. Brian, as long as
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: they run, play good defense the whole thing. He needs
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: time to get used to this offense, gain confidence, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: then as you go forward, he can elevate from there.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I think after four or five games of sort of
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: staying out of the gray, and then once he gets
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: into what Liam Cohne calls the gray, he'll be better
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: in the great Ryan Well.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: If he's going to figure it out, he's going to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: have to have time to throw, and that leans with
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the Draguars up front, are going to have to help
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Walker a little. With Trey Hendrickson, he is an absolute
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: game wrecker. And if you go back two years to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three game, he was the guy through
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Walker little into Trevor Lawrence and set the injury bug
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in motion. So I think you had can count on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Anton Harrison to take care of the guy on the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: other side to give him time. But ninety one is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the elite, So two is Logan Wilson, the middle linebacker
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: number fifty five. Those two guys are the guys that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: are going to wreck your game plan if you don't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: prepare upfront. The good news, KaiA is is the offensive
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: line played a really good game against a solid defensive
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: front last week. They should be able to handle the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: challenge this week if they can help Walker Little.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Have to help Walker Little. Coming up, going forward, we're
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: going to check in go behind Enemy Lines. I check
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: in with the Bengals reporter to see exactly.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: What we can expect this week.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to jag Zam, brought to you by Field's
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Auto Group Seefields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury auto group. Head
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: over to Fieldsauto dot Com another edition of Behind the
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Enemy Lines. It's Week two. The Jaguars are heading to Cincinnati,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: so I'm checking into my counterpart team reporter with the Bengals,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Marissa Gontapelli. Thank you so much for joining us. Excited
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: for week two. Both teams want to now going into this,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I think both of them fail. They can play better
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: football than maybe they played in Week one.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: But from your.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Perspective, what did the Bengals do against the Browns and
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: what are they looking to change in Week two?
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Yes, and first off, thank you for having me.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Love that we're able to catch up before Sunday's matchup.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: And when you look at what the Bengals did in
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: Week one, I think the most important thing coming out
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: of that game was that they won the football game.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: It's been a struggle for Zach Taylor since twenty nineteen
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: to get off to a fast start and that was
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: something that was really stressed going into Week one. Just
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: come away with the win. It wasn't the prettiest of wins.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: When you look at the offensive side of the ball,
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: the Bengals are very uncharacteristic of what we've known Joe
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Burrow to do in the Joe Burrow era. The fact
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: that t Higgins and Jamar Chase each only had two
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: and three receptions very uncharacteristic. But the biggest takeaway I
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: took from that game was the defensive performance. All off
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: season long, we have heard how the Bengals want to
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: improve defensively. Brought in new DC Al Golden to you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: get that group under his wing, and it showed the
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: fact that they had two huge takeaways when it mattered
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: there in the second half, and most importantly, stopping the run,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: held the Browns to under fifty rushing yards, averaging two
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: yards to carry. The defensive line played really well in
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Week one, and that's something I'm going to be looking
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: ahead to this week, especially.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: With what the Jags did on the ground in their.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: First game, to see how that Bengals defensive line and
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: especially that front seven holds up from Week one into
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Week two.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely a lot of focus on the run on
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: both for both of these teams in week one. Thing
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: about Joe Burrow, as we know I'm sure you're familiar
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: with over the years, he bounces back really well. So
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: maybe didn't play great in Week one. I assume that'll
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: be a focus going into Week two. Is that part
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: of what makes him so special, just his ability from
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: week to week, like you know, you can kind of
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: flip that switch.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, It's part of his Joe Cool swagger in a
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: sense too, where it's just nothing phases him. And the
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: thing when you look at Joe two just over his
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: career is he only gets better. He plays his best
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: ball in November and December and I know we have
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: a long ways to get to until that point, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: I'm absolutely expecting him to come out firing a little
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: bit more on Sunday. I mean, even Zach Taylor has
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: talked about, you know, it was great to have the
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: defense stuff up the way that they.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Did, like, Okay, we're going to get the offense going.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Offense has got your back, and.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: So I fully expect to see a different Bengals team
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: offensively than we did week one.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: We've been fortunate so far, not a ton on the
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: injury front. Are there any injury moves that you've been
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: dealing with, any changes going forward with the Bengals?
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: No, thankfully. We have also for the most part, been healthy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Lucas Patrick, our right guard, did leave Cleveland's game with
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: an ankle injury at cash strain, so he will be
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: out for a handful of weeks. They placed him on
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: IR this week, so Dalton Risner is going to be
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: sliding into that right guard spot.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: But he came in very early in that game and
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: finished out.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: So that's really the only that's the biggest area of
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: conc Earn on the injury front.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: But outside of that, we were very healthy, very.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Good, and then As far as the Jaguars, they've got
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: a new offensive system in place. We saw a ton
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: on the run game, but they're going to be focusing
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: more I would imagine a little bit more focusing on
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: trying to spread things out with some of the new
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: weapons that they have. Defensively, I know that's last season,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: you guys kind of changed them things out. How what
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: improvements have you seen specifically in terms of the new
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: system they haven't placed on defense?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, Well, A big one is just that stopping
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: the run. That was a huge point of emphasis in
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: the off season. They brought in TJ. Slayton to be
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: the nose tackle there to really kind of stuff that box.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Having Shamar Stewart, you know, get into the mix a
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: little bit there. He was pretty disruptive. He first round
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: draft pick for the Bengals back in April, so seeing
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: him on the edge and creating a little disruption was
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: definitely a good sign.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: But the biggest area that kind of.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: Like I at least thought so onto the defensive side
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: was when you look at the linebacker play.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: They brought in a handful of new guys.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Orrin Burke's a veteran who came over from Philadelphia and
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: then two rookies, Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter, and Demetrius
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Knight played really well in his NFL debut. He started
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: opposite Logan Wilson at that linebacker spot, and that was really,
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: you know, a key going into the season was are
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: the Bengals going to get strong linebacker play?
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: And I thought they did a nice job in Week one.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: Going to be seeing how they do now against Jacksonville
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: on Sunday. And then you even look at the secondary.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: The Bengals lost Dax Hill and DJ Turner to season
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: ending injuries about halfway through in both of those corner spots,
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: and so having them back into the mix, and the
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: rotation has been absolutely huge. It's gonna make It's has
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: made a huge difference there in the secondary so far,
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: and I'm really eager to see how that rotation continues
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: to kind of evolve over the course of the season.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Because you have Cam Taylor Britt on the outside. You
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: have Fig Newton, who was a rookie last year, him
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: stepping into his second season, they're you know, looking for
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: him to fill some spots, and then Dax Hill and
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: DJ so between the four of those corners you were
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: expecting there to be a much more consistent cornerback play
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: than they had a season ago because they're finally healthy
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: back in that room.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, cool. And then my last one for me is
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: just do you have any players I'm sure Joe Burrows included,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: but any big names that you're like they are someone
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: we're focusing on going in will be a big difference
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: in this game for the Bengals.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: That's a great question.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Obviously, as you mentioned, Joe Burrow is always going to be,
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: you know, that first name and that big name, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: even Jamar Chase gets you know, roped into that category two.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: But I'm keeping my eye on Chase Brown.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: He had a really strong first half in Cleveland, especially
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: that opening drive. They went to him on not only
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: the ground game but also in the passing game that
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: he got in on that rushing touchdown to put that
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: first put a cap on that first drive. And I
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: just think he's so instrumental to what the Bengals look
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: to do on offense because of how versatile he is,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: just such.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: A playmaker with the ball in his hands.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: He had averaged or was you know, posting over one
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: hundred scrimmage yards a game from Week ten on last
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: season once he you know, really took over that starting running.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Back position spot.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: So I would really kind of keep focused on, you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Chase Brown and just what he is able to do,
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: how the Bengals you know, utilize him beyond just the
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: ground game on Sunday.
• 14:18

  Speaker 3: We're going to do our best to predict the future
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit and tell you what we think the
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: headlines are going to be for this game on Monday. Bryan,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: what do you think Melaka?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Well, again, had this conversation with a number of people
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: who think, all right, that's a loss. You're going to Cincinnati,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and they're leaning back into the Jaguars in
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the last what twenty five twenty six games, you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty three. And I work with a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: different breed of cat because this Jacksonville team, led by
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Leam Cohen, with Gladstone and Biselli setting the tempo and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the standard here, I think they are prepared to go play. Now,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: will they win, I don't know, but I think that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: they will go up and play good football on both
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: sides of the ball. And we got a good look
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: at this team last week against Carolina, and I know
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that's another breed of cat, and that the Panthers aren't
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: that good of a football team, especially not compared to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnai Bengals. But I expect the Jaguars to go
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: up there and play well. And I went with Jordan
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Lewis because listen, that secondary at the end of twenty
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: twenty four was wounded and yet they've played so well
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: last week. Now they're going to have to play better
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: against the Bengals because that's a completely different breed of cat.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: But I think that Jordan Lewis deserves a lot of
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: credit for the way in which he has helped transform
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that unit mentally, physically. He tells me that they have
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: all the gifts. They've had all the gifts, but he
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: brought a different attitude to him, so different breed of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: cat all Along plays off the Bengals plays off, the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Panthers plays off Jordan Right, There's a lot of different
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: angles to it. But I expect the Jaggers to go
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: play well and we'll see what that means.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a big game for the reasons
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: you cite it beat Carolina, but there is a feeling, oh, well,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: should be in carolinall There's no such thing as that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. That's how people are sort of grasping it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: So I think we will learn is this a team
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: that can go on the road play well again after
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: they played well in the opener. I went with powering
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: through because I think right now, if this team is
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: gonna win, it's gonna win because they can out physical teams.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I wasn't sure we'd see that. We did see it
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: in Week one. So if they win, which I think
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: is a tough ask against the Cincinnati team that is
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: clearly focused on a good start, it's everything to them
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: but if they win over because they power through I
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: mean interior, the defensive line and on the offensive line
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and the right and gain.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: For me, I think we're all a little not quite
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: sure what we're gonna see exactly. It's still early in
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the season for me and for both of these teams
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: to have, you know, new coordinators. Knew everything here in Jacksonville,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: new coordinator on defense in Cincinnati, and knowing how they
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: play early in the season, I'm not quite sure, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I do know, and I feel like my focus is
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: going to be on the pass game for both teams.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: So I say up for grabs. I'm featuring two ls
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: former LSU guys here Frontowns Junior and Jamar Chase. Jamar
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: is gonna get the ball. I know that, whether it's
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: a two hundred plus yard day with multiple touchdowns, that's
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: what the Dagwars need to avoid. They're gonna throw on
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: the ball. You have to win with the explosive. That's
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: what burned this team all of last year and early
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: late in the season before that. So different different secondary,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: different different players out there. We talked about Jordan Lewis,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: if they can limit some of what Jamar Chase does after.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: He gets the ball, that will be crucial.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: And I also think Brian Thomas needs to get more
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: involved obviously that you know, they talked about couple of miscommunications,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: maybe a couple throws on Trevor weren't perfect. But this
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: team is best when Brian Thomas Junior is involved. I
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: know he had the rushing touchdown. I think they can
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: get him more involved. Obviously, the targets need to go
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: up a little bit, but I think Brian Thomas Junior
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: is going to need to play well because I think
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you're gonna need some scoring to win insincenas, and.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We talked about it with Mark Duffner yesterday. I mean,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is that quarterback who puts fear in you,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: right like Tom Brady used to, like Peyton Manning used to,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: when the ball is in their hands late, especially with
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: t Higgins who is in and of himself a number
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: one receiver and Jamar Chase, you can go up and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: play great football and in the span of thirty seconds
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: lose the game. So you're gonna have to put points
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: out this week.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a lot of back and forth and
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of fighting through adversity, which we know is
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: important for this team to understand and battle through as
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: a single Wung says here we will tell you what's
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: coming up the rest of the week and give you
• 19:03

  Speaker 3: dropped late last night. It's always nice to hear the.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Sounds of the game of a win.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: What Yes, John loves all the sounds though, loves the hunt,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: loves all the production sounds in general. John, when we
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: go on the road, we've talked about this team battling
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: through adversity, whatever that might be. You know, a rain
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: delay of early penalties. Going on the road is a
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: little bit different. So is this something you think Coach
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Coin is going to kind of address with them. I mean,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: obviously it's a new regime, so it'll be talked about
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: in some regard, but going on the road against a
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: good team and getting a win. It takes a little
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: bit different kind of game plan.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a different test, and he will talk to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: him about it. As I said earlier, I think we'll
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: learn something about this team this week in terms of
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: how much we saw in Week one was real. That
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily to me mean they have to win, Brian,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: but you want to see a team that can go
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: up and stand toe to toe and feel like you're
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: on even footing with another very good team. I think
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: they'll handle the road well because I think the people
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: running this organization, I think Liam think they're focused on
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the right things, and I think it's a professional football team,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and I think professional football team is generally handle the
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: road well.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It's important to do it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I said in the last SEGM, maybe a different breeded cat.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I think this Jacksonville team is different than the one
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: that we watched last year. In the second half of
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, Liam Cohen is building a resilient football team.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: To lean on that word again, but back in the spring,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: he told these teams they had to work on their
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: own resilience, they had to prepare themselves for adversity, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: he's used that word a lot this week in talking
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: about this game. I just in talking to the guys
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: in the locker room this week, they understand that. I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: think they're ready for when they're down ten points, just
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: assuming that something like that happens, or you're up ten
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: points and all of a sudden you give up a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: pick six, I mean, when something bad happens at that moment.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to learn something about this football team,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: how far they've come and be resilient. I think we
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: saw a step last week against Carolina. You enumerated all
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the reasons on the Monday Show, but I think this game,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in particular, because it's Joe Burrow, it's in Cincinnati, on
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the road, and it's the first road game for Liam,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna learn a lot about this team
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Ye if the good teams I've been around have approached
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the road with a feeling of all right, we're gonna
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: go show these sixty thousand people what's what, and it
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: hasn't been a game when they go it's hey, we're good.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: We're going to show you we're good, and we don't
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: care on the road. It's a subtle difference, but you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: can't go thinking you're gonna have fun. You gotta go
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: thinking you're gonna win and show and show people what's what.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: It's a business trip, gentlemen. Enjoy the game this weekend.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: We will be back on Monday here on jag Zam
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: to recap everything for you from Week two against the Bengals.
