Fred Taylor Emphasizes Jaguars Needing To Have a Short Term Memory | Countdown to Kickoff · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's time for a weekly conversation with Pride of the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. Week two finally is here.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a long week, Fred, after the way things
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: went down in your neck of the woods last week.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I'm good, Jap. He's been a long week.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: But you know, as they say, in order to be great,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: you have to have a short term memory.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: And hopefully the guys are feeling the exact same way.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: After you know, a tough performance.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: You know, we saw some good stuff, but they got
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: to make sure they get that out of their minds
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: and get ready right here for the Browns.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And let's start with this Cleveland Browns team. I mean
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it starts on defense for them, at least for me.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've got a fantastic edge rusher and Miles Garrett.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: They've got a linebacker who can play, who just got
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a second contract in a Wusu Koramoa. They've got a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: three time Pro Bowl corner, so they have a guy
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: at every level. And Jim Schwartz as the defensive coordinator.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: So for the Jaguars offense, Doug Peterson, Press Taylor, Trevor,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: play callers, all that stuff. This is a fun matchup
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it's gonna be a fun matchup, you know.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I think though, if they have some really good film
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to dissect, you know, throughout the week, that would get
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: them in a good position. I think if the Jaguars
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: are going to do anything the Dallas tape, they can
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: see a lot in the Dallas tape, see a lot
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: of the big plays that the Cowboys were able to make,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and then they can neutralize a lot of stuff that
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the Browns are gonna do in the past rush game.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: The best way to neutralize that is to run the
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: ball as good as you ran in a week ago.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby. You know he ran phenomenally.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: You know Travis DT and I know he's going to
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: hurry up and get back out there. So, as we
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: mentioned at the top, having a short term memory, he
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: wants to make you guys forget about that fumble as well.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So you know they're going to come out, I believe,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and try established to run because if they passed it
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: or put it up a lot, then you give the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: returning defensive player to hear Miles Garrett, you give him
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a big opportunity to wreg have it and create Turner.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: So run the ball, throw you fishing passes, take shots
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: here and there, and you can put yourself in position
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to win.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little more on the running back thing, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they both got some time last week. Tank Bigsby look good, Fred,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So this is a good sign for this offense.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: That's a good sign for the dolphense.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I think the big thing that we've always
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: talked about with Tank is, you know, making sure he
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: holds onto the ball.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You know, that can destroy your confidence as a runner
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: so much.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: It destroys the confidence of the coaches and the guys
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: that have to alternate the guys, and so, you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: he had a good showing, had a very solid preseason.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: You know, he followed that up by a great outing
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: versus the Dolphins. I thought he was going to take
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: that one ninety eight yards, got a little tripped up there,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: end up be in a twenty six yard run.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: But Tank has the tools.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: He certainly has good size, good speed to make it
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: happen and hopefully, you know, those guys can be a
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: good interchangeable group like Maurice and myself and myself and
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: other backs that I had to share the backfield with.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Uh Hopefully they can be you know, the highlight and
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the focal point of the Jags offense this year, which
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: would mean you know a lot of pressure off of
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Trevor where he can go back there and you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the play Carter can press, can keep the opposing defenses
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: off balance, and it would just be good things for
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars offense altogether.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Brett Taylor with US prior to the Jaguars Running Back
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Pivot podcast co hosts Jaguars Coming Up. What's going on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Man, That's that's a loaded question on and off the field.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: There's a lot going on with the Shawn Watson.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sort of like my kids playing Pokemon Go.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: You're like, I don't have a clue what they're doing.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: The same with DeShawn, Like, I don't know what's going on,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: but I did hear him come out, you know, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: off barness. As a former athlete, someone who's been in
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the exact same cherish him, someone who's had to deal
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: with you know, loss, stress and all that other different stuff.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm not making any excuses for him. The past
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: is the past. He's only played thirteen or fourteen games
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: for the Browns. Obviously, we know a big a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of those games or the miss games, the big reason
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: why with the.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Whole off the field stuff.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: But you know, when he's on the field, it's it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: mind boggling that you go from being such a great,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you know, potentially great quarterback when you're in Houston. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Browns reached for him, play him all that guaranteed money,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and then it seems that he's a no show. You know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: but I believe the Shawn. He still works out hard.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I know exactly, I know his agent, I know where
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: he trains. He's doing all the necessary things to put
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: himself in position to go out there and play well.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: It's just not translating for him. So you know, he
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: lost his father a week ago. You know, he lost
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: his friend for teammate there and Clemson, So you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: you I want to give him some grace, right at
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: least for last week. As a fan, we have to
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: also understand that these players are human too. As much
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: as we want them to go out there and be
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a you know, this tough NFL pro football player, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: life is life and life is gonna life.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So I want to give him grace.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Extend that to him for a week one at least,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: or actually JP realistically however long he needs, you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: because life is life and that's his family involved. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I root for him, you know. I like this Sean.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think he's a good kid or a good young man.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: We've had some conversations. Toss out the allegations. That's not
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: my place to judge.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But from the guy I've talked to, h he's been
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: very respectful and humble in his approach. But I don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: But I do know that the Jaguars past rushing the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: defense that they can play, you know, as they played
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: last week for the first three quarters of that game,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: first three and a half quarters for that game. For
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: the for the most part of it, minus those two
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: big plays to Tyreek and your guy Waddle, your Bama guy,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be okay and getting after Deshaun
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: and securing a first home win of the season.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Bret Taylor with US Tyson Campbell. Sounds like it could
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: be down for a little bit. Doug Peterson didn't seem
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: too positive about that hamstring diagnosis. He's never wanted to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: give full details or give a timeline. He just doesn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: want to hold a player to that. But I know
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you're close to Tyson and he just looked so frustrated
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: on the sideline that he knew, boy, it's happened again.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that tricky. That's that tricky hamstring.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And you know Doug is right, you know, he doesn't
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: really have a clue, especially when it comes to hamstrings.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: If you get an mc L you could say three
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to four weeks, maybe five at the most, depending the
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: severity of it. A cl we know he's gonna be
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: lost for the year Achilles. Same thing with all the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: other injuries, but hamstrings, it's the most. You asked what
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: was going on with Deshaun Watson. The hamstrings like makes
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: you ask the same question, how long win? Where you
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: think you're ready to go, you burst on it and
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: then next thing you know, you're out again. You pull
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: it again. Tyson's father, he uh texts me it's like, hey,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you talk to Tyson, you know, kind of give him
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: some pointers what to do with the hamstring. The first
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: person I thought it was the guy who I trained
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: with the Pete Bamrito down here, uh and Bo Marito performance.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: You know, I was going to extend reach out to
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Pete to ask him if he could do anything and
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: help Tyson. I don't know what it is, JP, I
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: don't know if it's hip, you know, as the game goes,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: if it's his hip alignment, if it's exhaustion, if it's
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: going like I don't have a clue. You go playing
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the entire offseason and practice, you're practicing fast, and then
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: you get in a game and it's a different change
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: of pace, it's more plays, and man, it's such a.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Mystery.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man, but I feel for Tyson. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: know he wants, he wants to be out there. The
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: hamstring is frustrating again and again and again, and he's
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: had it a few times. So I just hope he
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: takes care of it and finds himself in a position
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: where he can get out there and stay out there
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Fred Final thoughts here at home game, home opener, coming
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: off a loss, Brown's coming in. They didn't look good
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: last week. Gotta go get this game right.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: This is it's you know, it's so early and we
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: don't want to use the word must win or the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: words must win, but I would like to think from
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: a confidence standpoint and letting the guys know it's gonna.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Be okay for me. This is a must win. Looking
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: at the Browns and what they did. We can go
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: versus the Cowboys, who I don't I personally don't believe
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: that the Cowboys are a better team than the Jaguars,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: you know, just overall makeup. But the Jaguars have to
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: prove that themselves. They got to go out there. They
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: got to start fast. You take a fourteen oh league,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you gotta find a way to maintain that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You gotta make sure you're not giving up the big
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: plays against.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: From an offensive standpoint, you got to make sure you're
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: protecting the passer even when it's crunch time. And that's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: just the NFL. There are no freebies. But this is
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: a win, a game that I believe they have to
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: win just for morale, you know, in confidence booster in
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the locker room.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to get this one.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Especially with a couple one's coming up at Buffalo at Houston. Yeah,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a win in the back pocket would be nice. They
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: gotta go earn it though. Fred always great to talk
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: with you, and we'll do it again in the post game.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I'll be ready. Let's do it.
