0:08
Speaker 1: Mike Dempsey, and Pride of the Jaguars' Fred Taylor as
0:12
Speaker 1: they break down today's game. Jaguars Post Game is brought

0:20
Speaker 1: and by EverBank. Jaguars Post Game, presented by GEHA, starts
0:26
Speaker 1: right now.
0:27
Speaker 2: All right, welcome in to the Hyundai Studios inside the
0:29
Speaker 2: Miller Electric Center. Time for the postgame show brought to
0:32
Speaker 2: you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association. Benefits for federal
0:36
Speaker 2: employees and retirees. The Jaguars fall in Denver 20 to 13.
0:42
Speaker 2: And as we've just reached the top of the hour,
0:44
Speaker 2: let's pause 10 seconds before we continue with the postgame
0:46
Speaker 2: show for station identification all across the Jaguars radio network.
1:02
Speaker 2: All right, the Jaguars drove down the field on the
1:05
Speaker 2: opening drive of the third quarter. I thought, as I
1:08
Speaker 2: look back, this was a really pivotal moment in the game.
1:11
Speaker 2: They get a penalty, an unsportsmanlike penalty that cuts half
1:14
Speaker 2: the distance to the goal line to the three. They've
1:15
Speaker 2: got it first and goal to the three-yard line. Mike
1:18
Speaker 2: Mark with a chance to go up 17-3, and they
1:22
Speaker 2: lose two yards on first down. They get nothing on
1:24
Speaker 2: second down, incomplete on third down, settle for the field goal,
1:27
Speaker 2: and after that, The Broncos caught fire.
1:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, and who knows what the Broncos would have done.
1:32
Speaker 3: Maybe they would have scored all those points regardless. But
1:35
Speaker 3: it felt at the time, if you could put a
1:37
Speaker 3: touchdown on the board and go up 14, the way
1:40
Speaker 3: that the Jaguars were keeping the Broncos off the scoreboard
1:43
Speaker 3: in the first half, that was going to be a
1:44
Speaker 3: lot to overcome. But they were unable to capitalize on it. Look,
1:49
Speaker 3: the Broncos can point to the same thing. They had
1:51
Speaker 3: their own goal line failures. end zone interception. But, yeah,
1:55
Speaker 3: Coach Duff, that was one where you feel like if
1:57
Speaker 3: you punch it in to open up the third quarter,
1:59
Speaker 3: maybe you're setting the tone for the rest of the game.
2:01
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any question about that, Mike and Brian. Really,
2:04
Speaker 4: they kind of took air out of the ball, if
2:06
Speaker 4: you will, when that happened. And, again, you've got to
2:08
Speaker 4: give them credit for making the plays to force the
2:10
Speaker 4: field goal. But, geez, when we get the ball first
2:12
Speaker 4: and goal on a three-yard line, we've got to get touchdowns.
2:15
Speaker 2: A couple of other moments where things switched. Jaguars had
2:19
Speaker 2: the lead, and Trevor Lawrence threw his first interception of
2:22
Speaker 2: the season. Jags are up 13-6, and Trevor's throwing for Parker,
2:27
Speaker 2: and he was intercepted by Riley Moss, and the Broncos
2:33
Speaker 2: go right down the field, and Bo Nix finds the
2:36
Speaker 2: tight end for the touchdown, and then the Jaguars miss
2:39
Speaker 2: a 54-yard field goal, which would have given them a
2:41
Speaker 2: 16-13 lead, And Denver goes from their own 44-yard line
2:46
Speaker 2: right down the field. Third consecutive scoring drive for Denver.
2:50
Speaker 2: 17 unanswered points. Took the lead 20-13. And at that moment,
2:54
Speaker 2: didn't know it quite yet. That was it.
2:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, it was a terrible pass on
2:58
Speaker 3: the interception by Trevor Lawrence. At least from what we saw,
3:01
Speaker 3: the one angle that the television showed you. Looked like
3:04
Speaker 3: it was way too flat. Riley Moss was just sitting
3:06
Speaker 3: there waiting on it. Trevor, you put that on the
3:09
Speaker 3: outside shoulder of Parker Washington, try to lob it in
3:11
Speaker 3: there and let him use the sideline kind of as a, uh,
3:15
Speaker 3: help to ward off Riley Moss but it didn't go
3:19
Speaker 3: that way and Cam Little look we watch Cam Little
3:21
Speaker 3: and we know he talent wise he's got everything you
3:24
Speaker 3: want and you talk about all these consecutive regular season
3:27
Speaker 3: field goals well got a close game you missed one
3:30
Speaker 3: he missed it badly I mean he hooked it badly
3:32
Speaker 3: he's got more than enough leg that kicking 54 in
3:36
Speaker 3: altitude for Cam Little is like The average guy kicking
3:39
Speaker 3: like a 38 yard field goal. I mean, it's really,
3:41
Speaker 3: he doesn't need to put anything extra on it. And,
3:43
Speaker 3: you know, you go back to the Buffalo playoff game
3:45
Speaker 3: where he missed as well. So you hope this doesn't
3:48
Speaker 3: become a pattern in close games.
3:50
Speaker 5: Yeah.
3:50
Speaker 4: I mean, our defense in terms of sudden change defense,
3:53
Speaker 4: they've really done a good job, you know, last year
3:55
Speaker 4: and really starting off in the first game against Cleveland. But,
3:58
Speaker 4: you know, after Trevor's interception here, we, again, we give
4:01
Speaker 4: up the touchdown, which was surprising to me a little bit.
4:04
Speaker 4: It was a touchdown pass to Atkins or tight end. And,
4:07
Speaker 4: And again, we just couldn't get back into the game
4:09
Speaker 4: after that. I don't know if it was loss of momentum,
4:11
Speaker 4: loss of confidence, whatever.
4:13
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the very basics of it.
4:15
Speaker 2: We talked about the Jaguars needing to run the ball
4:18
Speaker 2: to slow down the Broncos' pass rush. And the Broncos
4:20
Speaker 2: aren't going to end up with an overwhelming amount of sacks.
4:23
Speaker 2: In fact, they only got two, but the pressure was
4:25
Speaker 2: there all day long. And the quarterback rarely had the
4:28
Speaker 2: opportunity to stand in the pocket. and throw the ball.
4:31
Speaker 2: The inability to run the ball would seem to be
4:33
Speaker 2: a major problem today against an excellent, you heard Jeff
4:35
Speaker 2: Logum say, an excellent defensive front that really atoned for
4:39
Speaker 2: the mistakes they had made on Monday Night Football.
4:40
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I really thought that was their Achilles heel.
4:45
Speaker 4: Denver's going into the game. I mean, the last three games,
4:47
Speaker 4: counting postseason and the first game of the season against
4:50
Speaker 4: Kansas City, they'd given up 188 yards rushing. So, running
4:54
Speaker 4: right at him, I thought was going to be a real,
4:56
Speaker 4: real key. Give them credit for fixing that a little
4:59
Speaker 4: bit and wind up, you know, making their run defense
5:01
Speaker 4: much better.
5:02
Speaker 3: Bejel Tutin had a few good runs today. I mean,
5:04
Speaker 3: he did average five yards carry.
5:06
Speaker 5: Yeah.
5:06
Speaker 3: It was all said and done 13 for 65. It
5:08
Speaker 3: didn't feel like a five yard per carry day because,
5:11
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of that, it was like 11
5:13
Speaker 3: yard gain, 14 yard gain. And there were a lot
5:15
Speaker 3: of two and three yard gains. Chris Rodriguez, with the
5:17
Speaker 3: exception of converting a third down, really didn't get going
5:20
Speaker 3: at all. Six carries for 13 yards. So, after watching
5:24
Speaker 3: their own defense get pushed around. I'm sure Denver made
5:27
Speaker 3: it a point of emphasis this week that we were
5:29
Speaker 3: not going to allow that to happen, and they certainly didn't.
5:32
Speaker 2: I don't know how many missed tackles they had, but
5:33
Speaker 2: they had 28 on Monday Night Football, and it was
5:36
Speaker 2: nowhere near that. Otherwise, this might have been a different
5:39
Speaker 2: game altogether. And then the flip side is that the Jaguars,
5:43
Speaker 2: on defense, couldn't generate any pass rush without blitzing. And today,
5:49
Speaker 2: Bo Nix, on the move, was able to take advantage
5:52
Speaker 2: of the Jaguars' He finishes 22 of 31, 288 yards.
5:56
Speaker 2: He did have the pick right in the first half
5:59
Speaker 2: in the end zone, which was a body blow to
6:01
Speaker 2: them at the moment, but he came back with a touchdown.
6:03
Speaker 2: He was extremely efficient in the second half.
6:07
Speaker 4: Sure showed a lot of confidence and poise in the
6:09
Speaker 4: way he played against us. One of the keys, again,
6:12
Speaker 4: is affect the quarterback. You can't always rely on zero
6:15
Speaker 4: blitz or five- and six-man rush as far as that's concerned. Again,
6:18
Speaker 4: we had to get more pressure, as you just mentioned,
6:20
Speaker 4: with the four-man rush on the.
6:22
Speaker 3: It was one thing if you were blitzing and you
6:23
Speaker 3: were actually getting to him.
6:24
Speaker 5: Right.
6:25
Speaker 3: But we were blitzing, and Bo Nix was able to
6:28
Speaker 3: make something out of it, at least get the ball
6:30
Speaker 3: out of his hands. Coach mentioned in the first quarter,
6:33
Speaker 3: you're hearing Trayvon Walker, or you're seeing his impact on
6:36
Speaker 3: almost every play, and he had a quarterback hit early,
6:39
Speaker 3: and then really you didn't hear his name, as you
6:41
Speaker 3: pointed out, Brian, as we're sitting here watching. You really
6:43
Speaker 3: didn't hear Trayvon. or Josh Heinz-Allen after the first quarter.
6:47
Speaker 2: And those were two matchups that the Jaguars felt really
6:49
Speaker 2: good about based on the way that they played a
6:51
Speaker 2: week ago.
6:51
Speaker 5: Sure.
6:52
Speaker 2: And based on the way that they had played at
6:53
Speaker 2: the end of last season. But those tackles, Garrett Bowles
6:55
Speaker 2: and Mike McGlinchey, really, and we have to look at
6:58
Speaker 2: the tape, obviously, to see did they have help or
7:00
Speaker 2: was it one-on-one. They really negated 41 and 44. And
7:04
Speaker 2: when we go back and look at the big things
7:05
Speaker 2: at the top of our pregame show, hours and hours ago,
7:07
Speaker 2: 41 plus 44 had equal success today for the Jaguars
7:11
Speaker 2: to be able to walk away with a win.
7:12
Speaker 3: And clearly didn't. I mean, no sacks for the team
7:15
Speaker 3: as a whole. It just it wasn't the kind of
7:18
Speaker 3: pressure that they got was stuff that Bo Nix could
7:20
Speaker 3: handle for the most part. He made a bad decision backpedaling,
7:23
Speaker 3: throwing off his back foot to kind of lob that
7:25
Speaker 3: one up that got picked off in the end zone.
7:27
Speaker 3: Give Jordan Lewis credit. It was an excellent play, but
7:30
Speaker 3: they didn't pressure him into bad throws enough, particularly on
7:33
Speaker 3: third down. It felt like. you know, Jalen Waddell would
7:37
Speaker 3: just pop loose after a certain amount of time, and
7:40
Speaker 3: that's another issue. I mean, the guy had two yards
7:42
Speaker 3: on Monday Night Football, and I get it. He wasn't
7:44
Speaker 3: part of the game plan, Coach. They barely targeted him,
7:46
Speaker 3: but to go from two to 138 is not what
7:49
Speaker 3: this secondary was looking for.
7:50
Speaker 4: They made a decisive plan to get the ball to
7:53
Speaker 4: him and feature him as far as that's concerned, and
7:55
Speaker 4: he came through with big, big plays. Got to give
7:57
Speaker 4: them credit as far as that's concerned. You know, when
7:59
Speaker 4: we talked about running the football, we came out with
8:02
Speaker 4: the first drive in the second half, and, you know,
8:04
Speaker 4: Five straight runs and really ran the ball, as you
8:07
Speaker 4: just mentioned, Mike. Tootin ran the ball very, very well
8:10
Speaker 4: in that period. Our wide receivers were blocking the ball well.
8:12
Speaker 4: We were alternating between 12 and 13 personnel. Again, where
8:17
Speaker 4: we got stuffed, if you will, or stymied, if you will,
8:20
Speaker 4: was the first and goal, as we said on the
8:22
Speaker 4: three-yard line, coming away with a field goal and not
8:24
Speaker 4: a touchdown.
8:24
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our first break of the postgame show.
8:27
Speaker 2: We'll return with more conversation in the aftermath of the Jaguars'
8:30
Speaker 2: first loss of the season, first loss since last November
8:34
Speaker 2: when they lost in the regular season in Houston. It's
8:36
Speaker 2: been a while for this football team. We're going to
8:39
Speaker 2: be interested to see how they respond, not just in
8:41
Speaker 2: the postgame here, and we'll have that for you, but
8:43
Speaker 2: also over the course of the week as they get
8:44
Speaker 2: ready for the Patriots, who really put it on the
8:47
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers today. The Jaguars lose in Denver 20-13, and
8:51
Speaker 2: we're back with Mike Debsey and Mark Duffner. here on
8:54
Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio. Well, Jaguars postgame continues. Brian Sexton, Mike Dempsey,
9:01
Speaker 2: and Coach Mark Duffner from the Hyundai Studios inside the
9:05
Speaker 2: Miller Electric Center in Jacksonville. Today's game was presented by
9:07
Speaker 2: Paramount +. We'll see you on Sunday for your live,
9:10
Speaker 2: local NFL on CBS games each and every week. We
9:13
Speaker 2: are waiting for Bucky Brooks at some moment, quickly we hope.
9:18
Speaker 2: We will go to the Everbank vault where Bucky will
9:20
Speaker 2: be with the head coach, Liam Cohen. Everbank advantage you.
9:23
Speaker 2: Other banks talk a big game. They deliver big results.
9:26
Speaker 2: Set up your game plan at everbank.com slash Jaguars today.
9:31
Speaker 2: More conversation here about the game. Mark, if you call
9:35
Speaker 2: a explosive pass play 16 yards, which the Jaguars have
9:39
Speaker 2: in the past done, so I do that, and a
9:42
Speaker 2: Explosive run, 12 yards. I finished with 11 explosive plays
9:47
Speaker 2: by the Broncos' offense today.
9:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, uncharacteristic of this defense, really. They've done a great
9:52
Speaker 4: job of limiting explosives really all last year and starting
9:56
Speaker 4: this year against Cleveland. So, again, there were some things
9:59
Speaker 4: that just... we struggled with right now. I mean, I
10:01
Speaker 4: just thought, again, the line of scrimmage. We normally have
10:05
Speaker 4: been really physical and had good knockback. I think we
10:08
Speaker 4: kind of lost the line of scrimmage, especially in the
10:10
Speaker 4: second half, really on both sides of the ball. So
10:12
Speaker 4: it's among characteristic play as far as that's concerned. They've
10:15
Speaker 4: been very good at limiting explosives and struggled with it today.
10:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely lost it on both sides of the ball. Sorry, Brian,
10:21
Speaker 3: you know, look, the Broncos only ended up officially with
10:24
Speaker 3: two sacks in the game, but there's a lot of
10:26
Speaker 3: harassment of Trevor Lawrence in the second half. And, you know,
10:30
Speaker 3: just through the timing off of some of the patterns
10:32
Speaker 3: had to get rid of the ball a little bit
10:33
Speaker 3: earlier than he would have liked. And, You know, they
10:37
Speaker 3: it's surprising a team that was without R.J. Harvey and J.K.
10:42
Speaker 3: Dobbins went out in the game that they got any
10:45
Speaker 3: explosive runs today, quite frankly.
10:47
Speaker 2: You know, at the end of the first half, I
10:48
Speaker 2: thought the Jaguars were handling your poise in the noise.
10:51
Speaker 2: As coaches like to say, they were handling it. They
10:53
Speaker 2: they faced first and 20 at their own 10 yard line.
10:56
Speaker 2: And you thought, all right. Don't make a mistake here
10:59
Speaker 2: that's going to give the Broncos easy points. And Trevor,
11:02
Speaker 2: I think you said it was 5 of 5 on
11:03
Speaker 2: that drive.
11:04
Speaker 3: 6 of 6.
11:04
Speaker 2: 6 of 6. Drove them right down the field, and
11:07
Speaker 2: they get the 44-yard field goal. The noise was at
11:10
Speaker 2: a deafening level. They handled it very well. I'm wondering,
11:14
Speaker 2: and we're going to hear from the coach right now,
11:16
Speaker 2: so let's go to the Everbank Vault. The head coach
11:18
Speaker 2: interview presented by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association, benefits for
11:22
Speaker 2: federal employees and retirees.
11:23
Speaker 3: Bucky.
11:25
Speaker 6: Coach, thoughts on the tough day today?
11:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, just unfortunately didn't do enough in the second half
11:30
Speaker 7: to win the game, specifically in the fourth quarter where
11:33
Speaker 7: you kind of need a play, a stop, whatever it
11:37
Speaker 7: is in all three phases. Unfortunately, we had too many
11:41
Speaker 7: blunders where we missed the special teams, we missed the
11:44
Speaker 7: field goal, and then we obviously had the kickoff return
11:47
Speaker 7: where we kind of stepped outside and now we got
11:50
Speaker 7: the ball in the 20th. Defensively, couldn't get off the
11:54
Speaker 7: grass on third down. We couldn't get enough pressure on
11:56
Speaker 7: the quarterback. You know, allowed way too many easy downs
12:01
Speaker 7: for them, I thought. And then offensively, we just didn't
12:04
Speaker 7: make a play, right? We just didn't make a play.
12:06
Speaker 7: I didn't make a good enough call, whatever the situation was.
12:09
Speaker 3: Disappointing.
12:10
Speaker 7: I'm proud of our team in terms of the effort.
12:12
Speaker 7: I didn't think that that was an issue. And I
12:16
Speaker 7: don't think we let our foot off the gas in
12:18
Speaker 7: terms of the way that we were calling it, the
12:20
Speaker 7: way that we were operating. We just got to find
12:23
Speaker 7: a way to make a play.
12:24
Speaker 6: You know, it's interesting because sitting on the sideline, it
12:26
Speaker 6: did seem like this was more us beating ourselves as
12:29
Speaker 6: opposed to them winning. And it's all the things that
12:31
Speaker 6: we always talk about, turnovers, big plays allowed, kicking game errors,
12:35
Speaker 6: and all those things. So out of this, what lessons
12:38
Speaker 6: can we take to make the team better going forward?
12:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think, look, you're in a great
12:44
Speaker 7: atmosphere and We are– I think the big– a big
12:49
Speaker 7: part was putting the– not a nail in the coffin
12:51
Speaker 7: because it's the first drive of the third quarter, but
12:53
Speaker 7: when we don't get a touchdown on that drive, I
12:56
Speaker 7: think it just pulled a little bit of wind out
12:58
Speaker 7: of us in ways where you got an opportunity to
13:01
Speaker 7: go up 17-3. Not that– I mean, there's too much
13:04
Speaker 7: time to– feel great but you can maybe make them
13:08
Speaker 7: throw it a little bit more put put a little
13:10
Speaker 7: bit more pressure on them we didn't ever really put
13:14
Speaker 7: the pressure on them especially in the second half and
13:16
Speaker 7: so great learning out for us i mean at the
13:18
Speaker 7: end of the day it's a 60 minute football game
13:21
Speaker 7: we have to go execute better for 60 minutes we
13:24
Speaker 7: got to coach it better um and we got to
13:26
Speaker 7: execute it better but I didn't think we protected great,
13:29
Speaker 7: especially early on. We were getting hit quite often, too
13:33
Speaker 7: much leakage. And we got to look at, hey, are
13:36
Speaker 7: we protection-wise, fundamentals, techniques, but great learning up.
13:40
Speaker 6: What did you tell the team after the game?
13:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, obviously week two, guys, right? It's an
13:45
Speaker 7: unfortunate deal. But we don't have enough time here. We
13:48
Speaker 7: got a damn good football team coming into Jacksonville this weekend.
13:53
Speaker 7: We got to get this film watched on the plane,
13:56
Speaker 7: get it washed, get it looked at, get back in
13:58
Speaker 7: the building, and get back to work on Wednesday. I mean,
14:00
Speaker 7: that's really the only thing we can do. These guys
14:04
Speaker 7: will obviously be in tomorrow, but we won't practice. And
14:06
Speaker 7: we hit the grass on Wednesday for practice for New England.
14:08
Speaker 7: We got to get running, rolling. And hey, look, it's
14:12
Speaker 7: never easy to lose, especially when you walk in expecting
14:14
Speaker 7: a win. That's what we expect. But a great opportunity
14:18
Speaker 7: for us to respond.
14:19
Speaker 6: Well, man, we are looking forward to seeing everyone at
14:22
Speaker 6: the bank, looking forward to seeing how this team bounces
14:24
Speaker 6: back against the Patriots.
14:24
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt we will.
14:25
Speaker 3: Thanks, Bucky.
14:27
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. All right, that's a head coach interview presented
14:29
Speaker 2: by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association, from the Everbank Vault,
14:34
Speaker 2: Everbank Advantage U. The final score in Denver today, not
14:38
Speaker 2: on the side of the good guys. They lose 20-13.
14:41
Speaker 2: We'll continue with Mark Duffner and Mike Dempsey on Jaguars
14:45
Speaker 2: postgame on the Jaguars Radio Network. Jaguars postgame brought to
14:50
Speaker 2: you by GEAJ, Government Employees Health Association. Benefits for federal
14:54
Speaker 2: employees and retirees. Mark Duffner is here. Mike Dempsey is here.
14:58
Speaker 2: Here being the Hyundai Studios. We hope to hear from
15:01
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence at the podium. When he gets there, we
15:03
Speaker 2: will certainly bring it to you. But you heard the
15:06
Speaker 2: coach talking with Bucky Brooks in the postgame show. And
15:09
Speaker 2: a couple of thoughts that stood out for me. First
15:11
Speaker 2: of all, he went right to that drive at the
15:15
Speaker 2: beginning of the third quarter. And he used the term,
15:18
Speaker 2: some of the wind out of our sails. It felt
15:21
Speaker 2: as if throughout the second half. You don't ever just
15:23
Speaker 2: want to say that because we're not there and we're
15:26
Speaker 2: not playing, but it felt like they were just along
15:30
Speaker 2: for the ride at some point in the third quarter,
15:32
Speaker 2: and the ride was given by the Broncos as they
15:34
Speaker 2: scored on three consecutive. They couldn't make a play on defense,
15:39
Speaker 2: not at all.
15:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, uncharacteristic, like I said before. I mean, when you
15:43
Speaker 4: look back at the first half... first and goal in
15:46
Speaker 4: the one-yard line, and they get nothing. I mean, tremendous play.
15:51
Speaker 4: As good a goal-line defense as I've ever seen.
15:53
Speaker 2: And it's so rare that you see a team go
15:54
Speaker 2: from the highs of that third, I'm sorry, second quarter
15:59
Speaker 2: to a low. If the wind went out of their sails,
16:01
Speaker 2: it seems like maybe it went out a little too easily.
16:03
Speaker 3: And a low where they still took a double-digit lead, right?
16:07
Speaker 3: I mean, and they were still up by a touchdown
16:08
Speaker 3: going into the fourth quarter, so there was no reason.
16:12
Speaker 3: It's one thing if There's four minutes left in the game,
16:15
Speaker 3: and it takes it out of your sails. You had
16:16
Speaker 3: plenty of time to recover mentally from this.
16:19
Speaker 2: Well, and I guess it would be too convenient to
16:22
Speaker 2: suggest that the wind was out of their sails being
16:26
Speaker 2: the problem, although that certainly didn't help. When you go
16:28
Speaker 2: and you watch the tape and you see that the
16:30
Speaker 2: Broncos won the line of scrimmage, right? That's ultimately the
16:34
Speaker 2: story of this ballgame, is that the Broncos won the
16:36
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. And last week, and I know it
16:38
Speaker 2: was the Browns, right? Although the Browns have some good
16:40
Speaker 2: players on their line of scrimmage. The Jaguars looked like
16:43
Speaker 2: a team that could control the line of scrimmage. I
16:45
Speaker 2: know I was personally surprised at their inability to run
16:49
Speaker 2: the ball. And, Mark, you mentioned that.
16:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that, again, it started off really well. I
16:54
Speaker 4: think they made a determined adjustment at halftime to run
16:57
Speaker 4: the football, and they did it with five straight runs
16:59
Speaker 4: and shooting and running the ball well. But we just
17:02
Speaker 4: kind of got away from that as time went on
17:03
Speaker 4: in the second half. And, again, really let kind of
17:07
Speaker 4: Denver control the game in the fourth.
17:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many times do we hear, oh, there's a
17:11
Speaker 3: big hole there? Almost never, right? They just didn't have
17:15
Speaker 3: that kind of opportunity. Just want to go back real
17:17
Speaker 3: quick to the opening drive there. It's as much the
17:21
Speaker 3: win that came out of the Jaguars' sales as the
17:23
Speaker 3: win that went into the Broncos' sales. Because if you
17:25
Speaker 3: go up 14 there, they're looking like, we've done nothing
17:30
Speaker 3: offensively here today. Now we're down... two full touchdowns, and
17:34
Speaker 3: I think it's that, the missed opportunity to put the
17:37
Speaker 3: Broncos in that mindset that hurt as much as anything.
17:40
Speaker 2: It's interesting you bring that up, and Coach, you can
17:42
Speaker 2: touch on this. 14 points is not an insurmountable lead,
17:45
Speaker 2: but when you look at statistics, when you go down
17:47
Speaker 2: 14 points in the second half, you don't win very often.
17:51
Speaker 4: No, no, it's tough. No question about that.
17:53
Speaker 2: So what's the mental... What's a player thinking if they're
17:57
Speaker 2: down 14 points?
17:58
Speaker 4: Well, you start to press. You start to think, okay,
18:00
Speaker 4: I've got to make a play, and people start being
18:03
Speaker 4: undisciplined in their play on both sides of the football.
18:05
Speaker 4: That's what you want. You want to try to create
18:07
Speaker 4: chaos with their thinking.
18:09
Speaker 2: You have some momentum. They don't. In this case, they
18:12
Speaker 2: got the momentum and you lost it. Another thing that
18:15
Speaker 2: Liam said when he was talking to Bucky a few
18:18
Speaker 2: moments ago, and that was, is we didn't make a
18:20
Speaker 2: play on offense. And I'm Going back to that throw
18:25
Speaker 2: to Brian Thomas Jr. in the fourth quarter down the
18:27
Speaker 2: field where he didn't make a play on the ball,
18:30
Speaker 2: even though there was an opportunity for him to make
18:32
Speaker 2: a play on the ball. And it was he had
18:35
Speaker 2: two drops today, I think, was what we credited with.
18:37
Speaker 3: That one included. Yeah.
18:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
18:39
Speaker 3: And he also apparently lined up on the wrong side
18:43
Speaker 3: of the formation, causing Trevor Lawrence to call a timeout.
18:46
Speaker 3: you know, in what at the time you kind of
18:48
Speaker 3: figure is going down to a one score game at
18:50
Speaker 3: the end of the game. So, I mean, those are
18:52
Speaker 3: big plays. I don't know what he was. how he
18:54
Speaker 3: was trying to catch that ball on that second drop,
18:57
Speaker 3: the one that you are referencing, because he put his
18:59
Speaker 3: hands kind of close together. The ball looked like it
19:02
Speaker 3: hit him in the middle of the forearm. So I
19:04
Speaker 3: don't know. He didn't even give it a chance to
19:05
Speaker 3: get into his body. It just hit him in the arms.
19:08
Speaker 3: It was the weirdest thing. Just looking at target numbers. Now, listen,
19:12
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to suggest anything other than what the
19:14
Speaker 3: numbers say, and that is you targeted Brian Thomas Jr.
19:17
Speaker 3: three times, Jacoby Myers once, and Brenton Strange twice. twice
19:24
Speaker 3: it would seem to me like I mean Parker you're
19:27
Speaker 3: going to target him 12 targets seven catches for him
19:29
Speaker 3: 98 yards it just seemed like perhaps we didn't see
19:33
Speaker 3: enough Jacoby Myers we didn't see enough Brenton Strange maybe
19:37
Speaker 3: they weren't available but when you see those numbers three
19:40
Speaker 3: targets for those two dependable guys and eight for the
19:43
Speaker 3: guy who has not been as dependable that perhaps Denver
19:47
Speaker 3: flipped their coverage and made you throw at Brian Thomas.
19:50
Speaker 4: No question about it. I think they knew that going
19:52
Speaker 4: into the game that possibly they knew that going into
19:55
Speaker 4: the game in terms of their game plan. But let's
19:57
Speaker 4: go back to the fourth quarter when we've got a
19:59
Speaker 4: third and eight and we have a 26-yard catch by
20:02
Speaker 4: Jacoby Myers. We're excited about right now. We've got a
20:05
Speaker 4: chance to get points. And again, we missed that field goal,
20:09
Speaker 4: which Our guy's been money 29 straight, I think, you know,
20:12
Speaker 4: regular season feels goes made. So, again, all that kind
20:15
Speaker 4: of rattled us a little bit. I was surprised it
20:17
Speaker 4: rattled us like it did.
20:19
Speaker 2: Rattle is a good word to describe it, right? When
20:21
Speaker 2: the head coach gets a penalty on the sidelines, and
20:23
Speaker 2: I don't know all the circumstances. It just seems like
20:25
Speaker 2: maybe everybody was a little bit rattled in the fourth quarter.
20:28
Speaker 2: We'll see how they respond this week. He sounded confident
20:30
Speaker 2: and poised, positive even, with Bucky Brooks. And so we'll
20:34
Speaker 2: find out his mindset when he meets with the media
20:37
Speaker 2: tomorrow here in Jacksonville and as we go through the
20:39
Speaker 2: course of the week. Well, you bring home the W
20:41
Speaker 2: when the Jags win. You win a free Whataburger. That
20:43
Speaker 2: didn't happen today, but thanks to Whataburger for being on
20:46
Speaker 2: our team all season long. We're waiting for Trevor Lawrence
20:49
Speaker 2: in the aftermath of the Jaguars' 20-13 loss in Denver.
20:54
Speaker 2: We'll come back to the Hyundai Studios inside the Miller
20:56
Speaker 2: Electric Center after this on Jaguars Radio. Well, PRI Productions
21:06
Speaker 2: is the official event production company of the Jaguars, and
21:09
Speaker 2: they have everything you need to bring your next idea
21:12
Speaker 2: to life. Visit PRIProductions.com. Brian, Mark, Mike with you here
21:18
Speaker 2: from the Hyundai Studios. This is Jaguars Postgame presented by GEHA.
21:24
Speaker 2: All right, so want some good news?
21:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'd love it.
21:28
Speaker 2: The Colts are playing in Kansas City tonight. If Kansas
21:32
Speaker 2: City wins, and I think they will, of course, I
21:35
Speaker 2: thought the Jaguars would win today too, but you get
21:36
Speaker 2: my point. The Jaguars at 1-1 would still be in
21:39
Speaker 2: first place in the AFC South. Houston lost today to Cincinnati,
21:44
Speaker 2: and Tennessee got beat by Philadelphia. If the Colts get
21:49
Speaker 2: beat by Kansas City, Jaguars are still sitting in first place.
21:53
Speaker 2: and we start looking forward to New England.
21:56
Speaker 3: Oh, that's great. It just had a chance, really. You know,
21:58
Speaker 3: I mean, with Houston losing earlier in the day, and
22:01
Speaker 3: as beat up as they are right now, got to
22:03
Speaker 3: take advantage when they throw some of those early season
22:06
Speaker 3: L's up there. To have a two-game lead would have been...
22:07
Speaker 3: It felt like a missed opportunity from that perspective. I
22:10
Speaker 3: hear what you're saying, though. They'd be the only team
22:12
Speaker 3: still with a win in the AFC side.
22:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and here's a whole long way to go.
22:16
Speaker 2: The standings don't mean anything right now, but that's the
22:19
Speaker 2: part that feels like a lost opportunity. is that Houston
22:22
Speaker 2: has lost their first two games, and you had a
22:24
Speaker 2: chance to have a two-game lead after two weeks.
22:26
Speaker 4: You don't want to give anything away, whether it's the games,
22:29
Speaker 4: whether it's takeaways, whether it's penalties, all that kind of stuff.
22:32
Speaker 4: We want to take everything and give nothing away.
22:34
Speaker 2: You know, last November when the Jaguars lost to the
22:38
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, they were 5-4, and I remember, it's been
22:41
Speaker 2: a long time, I still remember just the feeling of
22:45
Speaker 2: giving away a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter of
22:48
Speaker 2: the game. And I remember saying to you, Mike, this
22:50
Speaker 2: is the test. I mean, this is the first year
22:52
Speaker 2: of Liam Cohen and this is the test to see
22:54
Speaker 2: if he can get his team through it. And he
22:56
Speaker 2: did with flying colors. They came back and they didn't
22:59
Speaker 2: lose again until the playoffs against Buffalo. So I'm going
23:02
Speaker 2: to be very interested to see what his approach is
23:06
Speaker 2: this week. There's some things you got to look at
23:09
Speaker 2: and say, why did we get beat along the offensive line?
23:11
Speaker 2: Why couldn't we get any pressure? I mean, there's got
23:13
Speaker 2: to be some, you know, like a finger in the chest, like, Hey, you,
23:16
Speaker 2: you're the guy that we pay $ 27 million to, or
23:19
Speaker 2: You're the guy that we expect to make those plays.
23:21
Speaker 2: They haven't had to say that around here in quite
23:22
Speaker 2: a while.
23:23
Speaker 4: Well, I have confidence in Liam and the staff as
23:25
Speaker 4: far as the challenge that you're talking about that poses
23:28
Speaker 4: our team right now. They'll correct what they need to
23:32
Speaker 4: in this game in terms of offense, defense, and special teams,
23:35
Speaker 4: and they'll put together a plan, I believe, that will
23:37
Speaker 4: be successful against a very good New England team. But
23:41
Speaker 4: I have confidence in this group's maturity, listening to the
23:44
Speaker 4: lead and the game plan that the coaches will put together.
23:47
Speaker 2: Well, you've got the Patriots coming in here, and they
23:50
Speaker 2: are coming off of a substantial win. They beat Pittsburgh
23:54
Speaker 2: 20-3 today, and they look pretty good on the defensive front.
23:57
Speaker 2: So you've got your hands full with Mike Vrabel's football team.
24:00
Speaker 2: And the Texans next week are in Indianapolis, I believe.
24:04
Speaker 2: So there's a chance for them.
24:07
Speaker 3: One of them could go 0-3 at the very least.
24:09
Speaker 2: Absolutely. But you can't worry about those. You just have
24:13
Speaker 2: to recognize that the opportunities are there, and you're at
24:16
Speaker 2: home next week. And you're feeling maybe like the Broncos
24:20
Speaker 2: did earlier this week when they left Kansas City.
24:22
Speaker 4: Correct. And we got to control what we control. Get
24:25
Speaker 4: your eyes right now in terms of correction of this
24:27
Speaker 4: game and all eyes on New England. Put them in
24:29
Speaker 4: the bullseye.
24:30
Speaker 3: You know, that game, too, we had it on while
24:34
Speaker 3: the pregame was going on. And Pittsburgh just could not
24:37
Speaker 3: keep New England away and off of Aaron Rodgers. And
24:40
Speaker 3: if the Jags don't do a better job protecting Trevor,
24:43
Speaker 3: and again, I know the sack total was low. There
24:46
Speaker 3: was way too much Liam Cohen referenced it in the postgame,
24:48
Speaker 3: particularly early in this game. That's the way you're going
24:50
Speaker 3: to get in trouble next week.
24:52
Speaker 2: Jaguars fall 20-13 today, and we are waiting to hear
24:57
Speaker 2: from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. We have our eye on his
25:00
Speaker 2: press conference, and the minute he steps to the podium,
25:02
Speaker 2: we'll bring that one to you. Travis Hunter, a guy
25:04
Speaker 2: that we talked about late in the pregame show, four
25:09
Speaker 2: tackles today. He did have one pass that he defensed
25:13
Speaker 2: early on.
25:14
Speaker 5: Yep.
25:15
Speaker 2: Are you seeing enough production from Travis Hunter? I'm not.
25:20
Speaker 3: It's hard to say. I don't know what his responsibility is.
25:23
Speaker 3: And if you're not getting any pressure up front on
25:26
Speaker 3: Bo Nix, or at least not substantial pressure, it is
25:28
Speaker 3: very tough to cover on the back end. I will
25:30
Speaker 3: grant you that. But, Coach, we're sitting here, and it
25:33
Speaker 3: wasn't just Travis. It was Monteric Brown. Why are these
25:36
Speaker 3: guys off? coverage the way they are on third and
25:40
Speaker 3: three you know and and you end up giving up
25:43
Speaker 3: easy throws I'll say this for a day where Jalen
25:46
Speaker 3: Waddle seemed like the kind of receiver that Travis Hunter
25:50
Speaker 3: should love locking up with it's all about quickness and
25:54
Speaker 3: route running and it's not about you know being a
25:57
Speaker 3: jump ball bully like a Cortland Sutton can be I
26:00
Speaker 3: thought this was a good matchup for Travis Hunter I
26:02
Speaker 3: don't know how often he drew Waddle today, one-on-one, but
26:06
Speaker 3: that is the kind of thing I'd like to see,
26:08
Speaker 3: that when you said, we're going to draft this guy,
26:11
Speaker 3: and he's going to revolutionize the game of football, and
26:13
Speaker 3: he's going to play both ways, he's going to be
26:14
Speaker 3: a shutdown corner, he's going to be an impact player
26:17
Speaker 3: on offense. Well, right now, there's no impact being felt
26:20
Speaker 3: on offense, and I don't feel the shutdown stickiness of
26:25
Speaker 3: the coverage out there as well.
26:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, consistency was a word I think that we missed.
26:29
Speaker 2: Hey, Trevor Lawrence has just stepped to the podium. Let's
26:31
Speaker 2: grab him for a moment or two.
26:34
Speaker 5: You know, Moss did a good job kind of carrying
26:36
Speaker 5: Parker up the field. I was just making a quick decision.
26:40
Speaker 5: I saw them go to cover two, and I thought
26:41
Speaker 5: we'd have the sideline shot to Parker between the corner
26:44
Speaker 5: and safety, and he did a good job. He carried him,
26:47
Speaker 5: and so right when I let it go, I saw
26:49
Speaker 5: him keep running and turn his eye, so I didn't
26:51
Speaker 5: have a great feeling right when I let it go,
26:53
Speaker 5: but yeah, I was trying to take a shot there
26:56
Speaker 5: and get one to Parker there on third down, and
26:59
Speaker 5: Didn't go our way, and definitely want that one back.
27:07
Speaker 5: Definitely disappointing. I felt like we played the opposite way
27:12
Speaker 5: in the second half as we did in the first half.
27:13
Speaker 5: We played complimentary and played really well off the momentum
27:18
Speaker 5: that our defense was creating and some big red zone
27:21
Speaker 5: stops that they got, and I thought we took advantage
27:23
Speaker 5: of some of those. Obviously, it was tough sledding for
27:26
Speaker 5: us on offense the entire game, but it felt like
27:28
Speaker 5: we made more plays in the first half and were
27:29
Speaker 5: able to sustain some drives and get points. Had the
27:32
Speaker 5: big touchdown drive, and then we were able to get
27:34
Speaker 5: a field goal before half. That was really, really big.
27:37
Speaker 5: And then we got a field goal right at the
27:39
Speaker 5: beginning of the second half. But even on that one,
27:45
Speaker 5: we got to be able to score a touchdown in
27:46
Speaker 5: the red zone to start the second half. You look
27:48
Speaker 5: at the end of the game, all those things matter,
27:50
Speaker 5: and we just didn't make enough plays the back half
27:52
Speaker 5: of the second half. Yeah, you know, it was just like,
28:04
Speaker 5: like I said, with the momentum in the second half,
28:06
Speaker 5: it felt like, you know, the interception, and then they scored,
28:10
Speaker 5: and then we didn't, we weren't able to capitalize, and
28:13
Speaker 5: the field goal also is like, those three things happened
28:15
Speaker 5: right in a row, and as a team, we just
28:17
Speaker 5: got to be better at, you know, being able to
28:20
Speaker 5: kind of gain the momentum back when something doesn't go right,
28:23
Speaker 5: and For me, obviously, you can't turn the ball over
28:26
Speaker 5: in a crucial situation there on third down and give
28:28
Speaker 5: them good field position. So it starts with me. You've
28:32
Speaker 5: got to limit those turnovers and not give them good
28:35
Speaker 5: field position and extra possession. So I've got to be better,
28:37
Speaker 5: and we've got to be better as a team of
28:39
Speaker 5: just bouncing back after something maybe doesn't go our way,
28:42
Speaker 5: which I thought we did a good job the first half.
28:44
Speaker 5: We've just got to continue to learn and improve.
28:46
Speaker 2: That's Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence at the podium. at Empower
28:50
Speaker 2: Field at Mile High. In the aftermath of the Jaguars'
28:52
Speaker 2: 20-13 loss, first loss of the season, Jaguars now 1-1.
28:56
Speaker 2: When we return, an Everbank Stats Check. You're listening to
29:00
Speaker 2: Jaguars Postgame on the Jaguars Radio Network. Jaguars Postgame rolls along.
29:08
Speaker 2: Presented by GEHA, Brian Sexton, Mike Dempsey, and Mark Duffner
29:14
Speaker 2: from the Hyundai Studios. In time for an Everbank Stats Check, Jaguars...
29:17
Speaker 2: 268 yards of offense on 55 plays, 4.9 per play.
29:24
Speaker 2: Only 95 yards on the ground today. We said they
29:26
Speaker 2: needed to get the ball moving on the ground to
29:29
Speaker 2: slow down the pass rush, and they couldn't get it done,
29:32
Speaker 2: which in turn left Trevor Lawrence with not nearly enough time,
29:37
Speaker 2: and he threw for 189 yards, 170 is what it
29:41
Speaker 2: comes down to. Jaguars, four penalties, one turnover, and 28-43
29:48
Speaker 2: time of possession. They lost that battle to the Broncos,
29:50
Speaker 2: 392 overall for the Broncos. They were able to put
29:54
Speaker 2: up 100 yards, 104 yards rushing, largely on the strength
29:57
Speaker 2: of them running the four-minute offense at the end of
29:59
Speaker 2: the game. Jonah Coleman finished with 10 for 39. And
30:03
Speaker 2: they had 10 penalties for 53 yards and a turnover
30:07
Speaker 2: as well. Mike, you get the individual number.
30:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trevor Lawrence, 17 to 29 to get those 189
30:12
Speaker 3: passing yards. No touchdowns after four last week. One interception,
30:16
Speaker 3: he was sacked twice. Total QBR of 52 and a
30:19
Speaker 3: passer rating of 63.7 compared to Bo Nix, throwing for
30:23
Speaker 3: 288 with a touchdown and a pick. Basil Tootin, 13
30:26
Speaker 3: for 65. So we averaged. Five yards to carry. He
30:29
Speaker 3: did run for the Jags' lone touchdown today. You mentioned
30:32
Speaker 3: Coleman led the way. 10 for 39. Dobbins had 10
30:35
Speaker 3: for 36. Very workmanlike effort. Coleman got the rushing touchdown.
30:40
Speaker 3: Parker Washington, seven grabs for 98 yards, led the way.
30:43
Speaker 3: And again, Brian, focusing in on those targets. 12 for Parker,
30:47
Speaker 3: eight for Brian Thomas. Those eight for Brian Thomas match
30:50
Speaker 3: all the entire rest of the roster today. There were
30:52
Speaker 3: eight other targets given up by Trevor Lawrence, and Brian
30:56
Speaker 3: pulled in three. For 40 today, Jalen Waddell was the
31:00
Speaker 3: big destroyer with eight catches for 138 yards. No sacks
31:04
Speaker 3: for the Jaguars. Jordan Lewis did have an interception. Jags
31:08
Speaker 3: allowed a pair of sacks on the other side.
31:10
Speaker 2: Let me throw a number at you, Coach. The Jaguars
31:11
Speaker 2: were 5 of 12 on third down today, but they
31:16
Speaker 2: were 3 of 5 at the half, which means they
31:18
Speaker 2: were only 2 of 7. in the second half. And
31:20
Speaker 2: that's a big number because your inability to stay on
31:23
Speaker 2: the field cost you dearly as the Broncos were building
31:26
Speaker 2: their momentum on those three straight scoring drives.
31:28
Speaker 4: You know, we really struggle with adversity. Adversity reared its
31:31
Speaker 4: head in that second half and in particular the fourth quarter.
31:34
Speaker 4: And what Mike just talked about, we had no sacks.
31:36
Speaker 4: And I think that's kind of really one of the
31:38
Speaker 4: keys to the game, major keys of the game. Nix
31:41
Speaker 4: throws for almost 300 yards. It looked like he was
31:43
Speaker 4: comfortable back there. Waddle had the day that he did.
31:47
Speaker 4: We can't rely, and I know Coach Campanile was going
31:49
Speaker 4: to zero blitz because nothing else was working. So rushing
31:53
Speaker 4: coverage has to work together. He can't always be zero blitz.
31:56
Speaker 4: They've demonstrated that well in the past. Today it got
31:58
Speaker 4: away from us. We've got to get more with four-man rush.
32:01
Speaker 2: Would you expect this week them to try some different things,
32:04
Speaker 2: meaning maybe get Brian Thomas Jr., the defensive end, on
32:08
Speaker 2: the field a little more, see what you can do?
32:11
Speaker 2: Here's really the issue is that you're still getting no
32:13
Speaker 2: pressure at all from Eric Armstead. who, as Jeff Lagerman
32:16
Speaker 2: has said over and over, and I can attest and
32:18
Speaker 2: so can you, was unblockable in training camp, and in
32:23
Speaker 2: particular against the Panthers and the Buccaneers when they came
32:27
Speaker 2: here for those joint practices. Nobody could handle him, and
32:29
Speaker 2: yet he has done very little in two games.
32:33
Speaker 4: Has to show up. There's no question about it, and
32:35
Speaker 4: I agree. We all saw him be dominant, really, in
32:38
Speaker 4: the training camp, but now we're in the season right now.
32:40
Speaker 4: These are games that count. Last year, interior rush was
32:44
Speaker 4: a major concern. concern for us. It wasn't as effective
32:47
Speaker 4: as it needed to be. We were pretty good at
32:49
Speaker 4: the other spots. It's got to come alive this week.
32:51
Speaker 2: Mike, they wanted to address the interior rush, but it
32:54
Speaker 2: just wasn't there where they were drafting.
32:57
Speaker 3: You can't create it out of nothing if it's not there.
33:00
Speaker 2: Those guys don't get to free agency.
33:01
Speaker 3: Look, I know he's an interior guy, but it doesn't
33:03
Speaker 3: help that B.J. Green went on injured reserve this week.
33:06
Speaker 3: He barely played last week. I think he played 15 snaps,
33:09
Speaker 3: but that is a guy that I think most people
33:12
Speaker 3: would look at his team and say, if you're looking
33:13
Speaker 3: for the the number three guy to create consistent pressure,
33:17
Speaker 3: it would be Green.
33:18
Speaker 4: That's a challenge we've got to present to our defense.
33:20
Speaker 4: There's no question. Last week we felt real good about it.
33:23
Speaker 4: Josh Hines, Alan Trayvon had pressure. We had five sacks
33:27
Speaker 4: in the game, but it was lacking today, and we're
33:30
Speaker 4: going to address that. Don't panic, but let's get better.
33:32
Speaker 4: Let's go out to practice and get better at it.
33:35
Speaker 2: You look at the tackle numbers. Foye, Luokan, and Ventral
33:37
Speaker 2: Miller each had seven. And then Antonio Johnson comes in
33:39
Speaker 2: at six, which tells you that they were getting the
33:41
Speaker 2: ball up the field and making those guys tackle. Devon
33:44
Speaker 2: Hamilton had five. Dennis Gardeck had four. And then Travis Hunter,
33:48
Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis, Monteric Brown, I mean, 4-4-4. So the Broncos
33:52
Speaker 2: were having success in the second half and forcing those
33:54
Speaker 2: guys to step up and to make some tackles. Jaguars
33:58
Speaker 2: fall in Denver today 20-13. They are 1-1 on the
34:01
Speaker 2: season today. and we'll take our next break. Up next,
34:07
Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio Network, player of the game voting as part
34:10
Speaker 2: of Jaguars Post Game, presented by GEHA. 20-13, Jaguars fall
34:15
Speaker 2: in Denver, and we're back after this on Jaguars Radio.
34:22
Speaker 2: Brian Sexton, Mike Dempsey, and Coach Mark Duffner from the
34:25
Speaker 2: Hyundai Studios. This is Jaguars Post Game, brought to you
34:27
Speaker 2: by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association Benefits for Federal Employees
34:34
Speaker 2: And retirees. So this is how it works.
34:38
Speaker 3: You get a vote.
34:39
Speaker 2: You get a vote and a half.
34:40
Speaker 3: Oh, I get a vote and a half?
34:41
Speaker 2: You get a vote and a half. And I get
34:42
Speaker 2: a vote.
34:43
Speaker 5: Okay. Yep.
34:43
Speaker 2: You get a vote and a half just to break
34:44
Speaker 2: a tie. But I don't think that's going to be
34:46
Speaker 2: a problem. If you're looking objectively at this today, there
34:50
Speaker 2: is a lone candidate for the Jaguars for the Jaguars
34:55
Speaker 2: Radio Network player of the game.
34:57
Speaker 3: And Parker Washington.
34:58
Speaker 5: Yeah.
34:58
Speaker 3: Parker Washington. I think we all agree. Seven catches for
35:01
Speaker 3: 98 yards.
35:02
Speaker 6: He was.
35:02
Speaker 3: the majority of the offense today for this football team.
35:05
Speaker 3: And the one guy you can keep going back to, look,
35:09
Speaker 3: he did muff the punt, but he got on it.
35:10
Speaker 3: You know, the sun got in his eyes. It didn't
35:13
Speaker 3: come back to hurt the Jags whatsoever. But, I mean,
35:15
Speaker 3: who else would even be the next leading candidate? I'm
35:18
Speaker 3: not even sure.
35:19
Speaker 2: Well, down the line, I guess you'd say Basial Tootin,
35:21
Speaker 2: 13 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. And you
35:25
Speaker 2: could have mentioned Jordan Lewis, who had that interception in
35:28
Speaker 2: the end zone, Coach. I mean, that was a big,
35:31
Speaker 2: big momentum-changing play.
35:32
Speaker 4: Very big play.
35:33
Speaker 2: Those sorts of things. You feel like it works, but
35:36
Speaker 2: then Jordan fell down.
35:37
Speaker 3: On the third down.
35:39
Speaker 2: On the final drive.
35:40
Speaker 3: If you stay with your guy, if you break that
35:42
Speaker 3: pass up, if that's incomplete, the Broncos are putting away
35:45
Speaker 3: and the Jags are getting the ball back in a
35:47
Speaker 3: one-score game. We did call his name, or we didn't call,
35:50
Speaker 3: but we heard his name called on a regular basis.
35:54
Speaker 2: You heard Jordan Lewis. It just didn't turn out. the
35:58
Speaker 2: way that he wanted.
35:58
Speaker 3: You're probably right, though. Basil Tootin, probably a stronger second
36:01
Speaker 3: contender than I gave him credit for.
36:03
Speaker 4: Five yards a carry. So, I mean, again, some tough
36:05
Speaker 4: runs when we needed him. He came through with you.
36:07
Speaker 2: Listen, and we'll talk at the end of the show
36:10
Speaker 2: a little bit about the New England Patriots. But they've
36:14
Speaker 2: got a very good defensive front. If you watched any
36:16
Speaker 2: of that game earlier today against the Steelers, you realize Jaguars'
36:19
Speaker 2: offensive line has got to get things fixed pretty quickly.
36:22
Speaker 4: No question. They manhandled Pittsburgh's offensive line. They would watch
36:26
Speaker 4: that game intently, and that's what happened in the course
36:28
Speaker 4: of that game.
36:29
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break and return more of
36:31
Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network's post-game show, including a UF Health
36:36
Speaker 2: injury report. We're back in the aftermath of a 20-13
36:40
Speaker 2: loss by the Jaguars in Denver. This is Jaguars Postgame,
36:43
Speaker 2: and this is Jaguars Radio. Welcome back to the Hyundai
36:50
Speaker 2: Studios for more of Jaguars postgame presented by GEHA. And
36:54
Speaker 2: it is time for the injury report presented by UF Health,
36:57
Speaker 2: the official healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Two Jaguars
37:00
Speaker 2: left the game, two returned in the first half, first drive.
37:04
Speaker 2: We saw Robert Hainsey come to the sideline with an
37:07
Speaker 2: elbow issue and they re-taped and re-braced him and he
37:10
Speaker 2: went back into the game. And then we saw Devon
37:14
Speaker 2: Hamilton leave late in the ballgame with a back injury.
37:17
Speaker 2: And Jeff Lagerman made reference to the fact that in 2023,
37:20
Speaker 2: he missed a lot of time with a back injury.
37:23
Speaker 2: But then again, he got back into the game.
37:25
Speaker 4: Thank the Lord on both cases right now. Got to
37:28
Speaker 4: be strong up the middle. Hainsey at center, Devon inside.
37:32
Speaker 4: And Devon in the run game, I thought, was effective
37:34
Speaker 4: all day long, really.
37:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, Devon's the one to watch here because New England
37:38
Speaker 3: comes in without A.J. Brown, and they got Travion Henderson
37:41
Speaker 3: back today. They're going to want to run Henderson and
37:44
Speaker 3: Ramondre Stevenson at the Jags all day long next Sunday.
37:47
Speaker 2: And Henderson had a beautiful run right up the middle,
37:50
Speaker 2: and it struck me because you don't hardly ever see
37:53
Speaker 2: anyone get a touchdown up the middle. It was a
37:56
Speaker 2: 39-yarder in the first quarter. The Patriots took a 7-0 lead.
37:59
Speaker 2: Turned out that was all they needed to win the ballgame.
38:01
Speaker 2: But here it is right here. We're watching it now.
38:03
Speaker 3: He's got instant accelerations. is what it is, and you
38:06
Speaker 3: give him a little crease, and he is a guy
38:09
Speaker 3: who will take it to the house. I mean, he
38:10
Speaker 3: did that a lot last year. We've been waiting for
38:12
Speaker 3: Basil Tootin to pop that one because he's got that speed.
38:15
Speaker 3: Henderson's been doing that whenever he's been healthy in the
38:17
Speaker 3: league so far.
38:18
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our final break here in the
38:21
Speaker 2: post-game show presented by GEHA. When we come back to
38:23
Speaker 2: the Hyundai Studios, we'll preview that game a little more
38:26
Speaker 2: for you. For those on our flagship station, we've obviously
38:29
Speaker 2: got the scoreboard show coming up this break, and then
38:32
Speaker 2: we return on the Jaguars Radio Network. All right, back
38:38
Speaker 2: to wrap up the show here on a Sunday evening.
38:40
Speaker 2: Disappointing outcome. Jaguars will try to flip the script next
38:44
Speaker 2: week against the New England Patriots here at Everbank Stadium.
38:46
Speaker 2: A one o'clock kick. Mike Dempsey, quick thought.
38:49
Speaker 3: Jags need to meet the physical challenge on the offensive line.
38:52
Speaker 3: Their offensive line versus New England's defensive line, particularly next
38:56
Speaker 3: week after what we saw from New England today.
38:58
Speaker 2: Coach Duffner.
38:59
Speaker 4: And the defense will be challenged with a heck of
39:01
Speaker 4: a running game. Look at... what Stevenson and Henderson did
39:05
Speaker 4: last year. I think they counted for about 2,000 yards,
39:07
Speaker 4: so it's a good one-two punch in terms of their
39:09
Speaker 4: run game. A team that has 13 wins last year
39:13
Speaker 4: leading at the half, which was best in the league.
39:14
Speaker 4: So an offense we're going to have to deal with.
39:16
Speaker 2: All right, wrapping it up here on the Jaguars Radio Network.
39:19
Speaker 2: For those of you on flagship station 1010XL in Jacksonville,
39:21
Speaker 2: stick around. The Scoreboard Show is next. For those on
39:23
Speaker 2: the network outside of Jacksonville that want more of this show,
39:27
Speaker 2: join us on Jaguars.com or the Jaguars YouTube. channel. For
39:30
Speaker 2: Fred Taylor, Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner, and our entire broadcast crew,
39:33
Speaker 2: this is Brian Sexton saying goodnight. The final score for
39:36
Speaker 2: the final time, 20-13. Good guys fall in Denver. Thanks
39:40
Speaker 2: for joining us on the Jaguars Radio Network.
