  Speaker 1: Welcome into this Thursday edition of jagsam Kay Nanni Stevens,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexts, and John Osier w Withney. Today's we're getting
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: ready to talk about the Jaguars Raiders game gonna happen
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on Sundays. This team heads to Las Vegas a little
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: bit early this week to get ready for a matchup
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: their first after the bye weeks. Let's talk about our
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: big Things today, brought to you by de EH Government
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Employees Health Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees. Big
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: thing number one, bye by bye week last week for
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars, bye week last week for the Raiders. We
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Liam Cohen talked a little bit yesterday about what he
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: wants to see from his team coming.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Out of the buy the teams that maybe identify I
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: guess you could say an issue right issue or somewhere
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: where you're underperforming, slash where you're what you're doing well,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and either coming into this week right of their next game,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: addressing those tangibly.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Like all right, we want to improve in this area. Well,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: if you just say it might not get done, you're
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: usually from players, you get what you emphasize very very often.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: And so if there's areas where you're trying to show
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and improve, not just talking about it or getting the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: stats and showing it well, going out addressing it in
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the meeting, showing the examples, but then applying it to practice,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: applying it to the walkthroughs of Okay, guys, these are
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the tangible areas where we need to improve and what
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: we want to improve upon and actually go attack it right.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of behind the scenes what the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: team's been working on addressing some of the issues. Penalties,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you know, mistakes, kind of self inflicted stuff. But the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Raiders are going to come out this week doing similar things.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We both had disappointing games going into the bye week.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: What's it going to take for the Jaguars to actually
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: correct these issues?
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Listen, what are the issues?
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I mean it's a long list. Whether it's lack of
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: sacks or too many sacks given up for penalties or
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: third down. If you get the running game started on offense,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I think that changes the dynamic. You know, look at
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: the numbers. The last three games. The Jaguars have not
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: run the ball very effectively and they have found themselves
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: behind the six having to convert on third down. And long,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: and that of course leads to holding penalties or illegal
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: man downfield penalties. There's been a lot of them if
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: you get the running game, and I suspect, especially after
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: watching practice on Wednesday, I suspect that is a major
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: area of focus for this football team. The ability to
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: run the football like they did the first four games.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It will solve a lot of problems. It will calm
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: down an offense that was out of sorts the last
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: two games in particular.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think what Liam said during his you know
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: the quote, we ran.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: Coaches do believe that if you emphasize something hard during
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: a week, you're gonna see it on Sunday. He's been
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: talking about penalties and pre snap stuff all season. I'm
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: sure they've addressed it in practice all season, but you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: his emphasis on it since the Rams game has been
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: so big. I think he'll be disappointed on Sunday if
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: we see a repeat of Seattle and the Rams, which
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: was so much pre snap stuff and so many avoidable issues.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: So to me, that's the storyline this week and they
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: cut those things out. If they do, they can get
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: to all the things that Brian was talking about, playing.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Smart football, big thing number two is going to be
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: back in action. We're talking about the Raiders. Rock Bauer
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is going to be back in there. He was dealing
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: with an injury previously. John Liam Cohen talked a little
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: bit earlier this week. Actually, let's hear from coach Cohen.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He talked a little bit about what rock Bowers does
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in the field.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: He gets in and out of break so well. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: know he was like forty something men's vertical coming out
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: of high school. He's a very good athlete. He's like,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: what do you need to fine as a football player?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, he just has a knock for getting open.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: He's harder to tackle than maybe just looking at the tay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: He'll break tackles, drag people down. He knows how to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: wiggle and separate and also the contested catchability. So very
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: good player.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: Have a lot of respect for him.
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: John.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: We saw firsthand what rock Bars can do when they
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: played the Raiders last year. Now with him back in action,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: what kind of problems does he present?
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: Well, sometimes in this league we've seen it a couple
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: for the last couple of years. Sometimes Hall of Fame
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: skill players win games. Jamar Chase DeVante Adams. I'm not saying,
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: brock Bars is the Hall of Famers in his second year.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: But he's got that level of talent, that level of ability,
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: and when he's been healthy in the NFL, that level
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: of production. Him being back makes this a dramatically different
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: Raiders offense. You know, he's the kind of guy that
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: you can play well on first and second down, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: then it's third and eight, and then it's first and
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: ten because they throw him the ball. Bran He's he
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: makes this a much different dynamic for the Raiders offense.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Two guys in the locker room yesterday, John and Kai
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: that were focused on rock Bowers. The first was Trayvon Walker,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: who played with him at Georgia. He just smiled and said,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: he's a great player. Don't matter what you ask him
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to do, whether it's to stand up and get down
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the field or whether it's to put your hand in
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the ground and block someone, He's just a great player.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: And the other was Jordan Lewis. Now, normally you don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: talk to a cornerback about a tight end, but this
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: is the main receiving threat for the Las Vegas Raiders,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and they will put him out wide, they'll move him
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: into the slot Jordan Lewis talked about how the cornerbacks
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: have to be very respectful because he's tall, he's got length,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: he's got strength over most corners in the league. The
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Raiders use him and will create mismatches, and he's the
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: type of guy that they will look to first, they'll
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: look to second, they will throw the ball even when
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: it appears he's covered. He's a tremendous football player and
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: changes the dynamic for a Raiders team that hasn't played
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: very well recently.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is going to be no quit.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Look to the other side of the football. Max Crosby
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is obviously the name that sticks out. Trevor Lawrence talked
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: him a little bit about his energy and the no
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: quit attitude.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: Really good player, very good. He's just he's one of
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: those guys you know, there's a there's a handful of them,
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: I mean a lot of great players in this league.
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: But as far as just those defensive edge, you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: defensive end, pass rusher guys that are he's just constant, NonStop.
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: I think that's what you know is admirable about his
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: play is that it is just such a high motor. Obviously,
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: he's athletic and he's skilled and strong and good instincts,
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: but he plays really hard, so and that's something where
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: he makes a lot of plays because of that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now, Brian, Max Crosby didn't practice yesterday. I have a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: feeling he'll probably find his way onto the field this
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: weekend though, And that what Trevor was just saying there.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He doesn't quit, so you can't just block him once.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You have to continue and follow through on it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: He's a great player and when you talk to people
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: all around the league and they talk about the Raiders,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: he's the first name that they go to. I asked
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Robert Hainsey, the center, about him, and Robert will see
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: him over him very much. But he talked about communication
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: being the key with Max Crosby and everyone knowing where
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: he's at and what the blocking scheme is, and him
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: as the center identifying and be able to get the team,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the offensive line together to understand that ninety eight doesn't
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: ever stop, so they've got to know where he is
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: at at old times and they will be very aware.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you need to run well and you need to
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: get a lead in this game to keep Max Crosby
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: from being as much as the factors. Otherwise it could
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: be if his game gets close late. The Raiders have
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: two guys they can depend on for big plays late
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: while one is Bours the Olwen's Crosby. You don't want
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: to be in an obvious passing situation late in the
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: game with Crosby knowing you got to pass because he's
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: as Trevor said, he's one of a handful of guys.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: What you know that in this league Miles Garrett who
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: if you're up, even if you double team him late,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: he can wreck your game. So be up more than Yes, that's.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: A good plan.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: I like it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Stay with us, Sarah and jag Zam coming up after
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the Brave Gay checking when Raiders were poor, Leevi Edwards

• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Behind Enemy Lines where we check in with a media
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: member from the Jaguars opponent team, and this week the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: team is heading to Las Vegas, so checking in with
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Levi Edwards from the Raiders. Levi, thank you for joining us.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's exciting, exciting times. I hope you had a great
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: bye week like we did, but similar situations this team
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: was in last year. I remember when we played, both
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: teams were kind of figuring out where they were going
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to be in the draft lottery and whatnot. And now
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: going forward kind of in the midst of a rebuild. Right, So,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you guys have Pete Carroll coming in. When you look
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: back at the first eight weeks or so, what's kind
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: of your reflection of what you've seen so far.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: Really just a lot of things need to be cleaned
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: up for the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: That's been my reflection.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: You definitely see us, you know, some good things happening,
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: and there's definitely been a culture change, which is good. Obviously,
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: Pete Carroll has come in and he has that, you know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: experience of being able to turn the locker rooms around
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: and get guys to play for him, and I don't
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: necessarily see that being a problem. However, I just believe
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: that execution has not been at full strength. I think
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: a lot of these guys are still trying to acclimate,
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: especially on the offensive side of the ball, trying to
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: acclimate to a new playbook, to a new play style.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: I just think that there's been some things that need
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: to be cleaned up.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: Also, injuries have also played a factor, and it also hurts,
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: you know, when you don't have the depth that you
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: would like on this team to where you can't afford
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: to lose guys like Rock Bauers and lose guys like
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: the Kobe Myers and lose guys like Holton Mill. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: just can't afford to lose those kind of guys on
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: a team like this with the depth not being as
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: strong as you would like. So that's just been my
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: reflection so far.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You guys had a tough loss kind of going into
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the bye week. The Jaguars in a similar position moving
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to the Rams. As practice goes on this week, what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: are some bye week changes maybe you're expecting or hoping
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to see coming out this week?
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: Really just guys coming back, guys getting healthy. You see
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: Jacob Meyers back on the field, You see Brock moving
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: around a lot faster, a lot better. And we all
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: know what Brock can do when he's fully healthy. We
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: know what he's capable of. I believe we saw that
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: first hand even last year when the Jaguars came to
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: the Allegiance Stadium.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: So a dynamic player, Gino Smith. He gets one.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: Of his receivers that he's best friends with, Tyler Lockey.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: He just entered the building.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: And signed his contract and went straight to the practice field,
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: already not wasting any time making sure that he gets
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: back on the same page with Gino Smith, and they
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: did some great things with each other in Seattle. So
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: really what I'm looking forward to coming out of the
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: bye week because guy's just getting healthy, Guy's getting back
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: on the field. Also another guy, Lonnie Johnson's safety, who
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: literally broke his leg in training camp and now seven
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: weeks into the season he's coming back, which is remarkable.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: So I'm excited for that too.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: He was a guy that was potentially in line to
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: be a starter coming into the season and now he's
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: back and hopefully he can get that spot back.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars have a new offensive system here there. We've
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: seen the growing pains. I'm sure when you talk about
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the growing pains as well, what are you hoping to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: kind of see evolve as the season goes along. As
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they're getting used to the new system.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Really, they just need to play faster.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: I think everything just needs to look a lot faster
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: and a lot effortless.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: I think guys are still out there thinking too much.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: Whether it comes down to, you know, the right assignments
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: in terms of Ash of Gendi going through the right
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: reads you know when he's running the ball, or you know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: the blocking coming together and making sure that they're all
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: collectively doing what they got to do to make sure
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: that the pass blocking, you know, is syncd up with
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: Gino Smith and then the run blocking is synced up
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: with Ash and Raheem. I think there's a lot of
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: things like that that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Just need to be cleaned up moving forward.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: And it's still a lot of time left in this season,
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: so I'm looking forward to it. But it's gonna be
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: difficult against the Jags defense this week that I feel
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: is pretty impressive. Devin Lloyd, who's a Defensive Player of
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: the Year candidate right now. Strong defensive line with Josh
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: Allen and Eric Armstead and treymon Walker.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: I really like those guys up front.
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: That front seven for the Jaguars are tough, so they're
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: really going to have to all be on the same
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: accord going into this game, or they can make life
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: really difficult for Geno and Ashen.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: What have you seen from the defense so far? Obviously
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Max Crosby is always a name that people key in on,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: whether it's you know, rushing the passer or stopping the run.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But what have you seen from the defense so far
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: this season?
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: I think the defense has played fairly well in some parts.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: I think that they've been kind of screwed over a
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: little bit with really bad field position at times. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: think offensively, you know, when you have so many turnovers,
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: you get on the field and you're just kind of
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: like straggling along, you know, in your territory or special teams,
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: whether a block punt or a bad field you know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: whether you allow a really big kicker punt return, that
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: can also factor in. So I think the defense have
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: been kind of like a ben but don't break unit
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: where they are still trying to figure out like, Okay, well,
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: you know we're putting these bad situations on the field,
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: but we still got to come out and we got
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: to do our job and limit it from.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: The three or zero points at all.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: I think there's only been a couple of times this
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: season the Colts and the Chiefs game that we saw
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: where the defense just did not come to show up.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: They just did not play good football.
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: But I think every other game this year you could
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: point to young guys stepping up and really playing good ball. Obviously,
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: Max Crosby's doing his thing and he's going to continue
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: doing this thing.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: He's Max Crosby.
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: But you see some other guys like Eric Stokes, Devin White,
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: Jonah Lalu, who's tied with Max for the team leading sacks.
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: You see some guys like that really stepping up and
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: doing some cool things. So I think the defense for
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: the most part, has played as well as they can
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: considering the circumstances put in.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: All right, if you could give us one or two
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: X factors, who are two names that you kind of
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: have your eye on if the Raiders want to get
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a win this weekend.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Well it has to start off with Geno Smith.
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: Obviously, Geno Smith is the head of the Snake and
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: he's a guy that is uncharacteristically not playing up to
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: the standard of what we know he can play at
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: what we saw in Seattle. And there's a lot of
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: factors behind it, you know, with the offensive line and
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: having young receivers who you know are not as experienced
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: as you're used to. But I think Geno Smith, if
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: he can come out and he can play the game
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: that he needs to play, then I feel like everything
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: else will take care of itself, especially with Broad coming
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: back and another guy on defense that I would name
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: as an X factor's a guy like Eric Stokes at corner,
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: because now you have to play lockdown on.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Brian Thomas Junior.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: And I know Brian Thomas Junior hasn't been having the
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: most exceptional season compared to what we saw him do
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: his rookie year when he tore up Allegian had a great,
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: you know, rookie of the Rookie of the Year.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Finalist type of season.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: But he's still a good receiver, and Eric Stokes is
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: going to have to make sure that he does his
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: job and really lock that down. Especially now on the
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: opposite side you have Travis Hunter, and so now it's
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: one of those things you just can't game plan for
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: this one receiver as much as you'd like because you
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: have another young boy on the other side that's going
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: to do his thing too, and Kye Blue Kelly is
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: gonna have to worry about that on the other side, So,
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: I think Eric Stokes has been playing really good football.
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: If you look at what he's been doing statistically, he's
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: been having a great season. And Brian Thomas Jr. Is
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: going to be another great challenge for him going into
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: this game. So I think those two guys are going
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: to be ex factors for us.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of good stuff. Leeb I, thank you so much,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: look forward to see you on Sunday.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Thank you. I appreciate it.
• 15:44

  Speaker 1: We're going to do our best to predict the future
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: as we do on Thursdays. We're going to try to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: figure out what the headlines will be on Monday morning.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: After this game in Vegas on Sunday. Brian, what do
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you think the outcome will be?
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I'm going wild out West because you've got two teams
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: that are coming off four touchdown losses and the bye
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: week with first year head coaches. Pete Carroll obviously has
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: a long history, and we're just seeing the beginnings of
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: the Liam Cohen program here. I expect both teams to
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: have worked very hard to work on their deficiencies, Like
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Liam alluded to earlier in the show. I think the
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Jaguars will run the ball. I expect to see Travis
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Hunter involved in a big way, and I think the
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Jaguars win a close one, something like thirty one twenty eight.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I mean you'd like to think, Wow, they're two and
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: five and you're not playing all that well.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Hey, neither're the Jaguars.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: So I think it's going to be a shootout, and
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: I expect the Draguars to find a way to win.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's gonna be close.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be a little lower scoring than
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: that because the Jaguars haven't showed that they can get
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: to thirty. Uh so let's hope that they can. I
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: went with Viva Viva the run, and I wish that
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: I had gone with Viva the takeaway, but I wanted
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: to use Travis Atn as the picture, so I couldn't
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: go to takeaway because they're not gonna eat takeaways unless
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: something weird happened. No, I'm I'm talking about it a
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: lot more than I thought about it, thought a dozen exactly.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: But they need takeaways and they need to run. Think
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: about the formula they had and how they checked every
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: box against Carolina in Week one coming out of the bye.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: To me, they need another box check game where they
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: get what you know.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: They need to be more physical.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: They need to take the ball away, and I think
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: being more physical will get us to Viva a run.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: Viva a run.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: All right, here's my final. Las Vegas pun play their
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: cards right here we go.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, see cards.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I will not be anywhere near casino, So.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: So say I stayed away from the game leads topic.
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: This way, Environ.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: We already got the speeches.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: We're not going anywhere near casino. I think the team
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of you know what they talked about self
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: inflicted blood. Right, If they go out there, they play
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: well on paper, they are a better team. They should
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: win this football game. There's a reason you play the games.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: They go out there and they can limit their penalties,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: like John said, get a takeaway, establish the run. They
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: should win this football game. Now we have to see
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: them do it. So if they can play their cards right,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I think they should definitely go out there, get a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: win and start the second half of the season off.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: Of the right foot.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Liam talked about it.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: If you're going to do that, you better practice well, right.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: You better have a really good day on the practice
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: field today and tomorrow. You better focus on those things
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: that they've talked about. But the practice field leads to
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: the playing field on Sunday, So hopefully he's getting what
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: he's asking from his players, which was the theme of
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: his press conference on Wednesday.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: So an opportunity and hopefully it is a good one
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: that they take advantage of.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: So stay with us here.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Coming back after break, we'll tell you what's going on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the rest of the week. Exam brought to by mister
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Chubbies Here on your Jaguars as they traveled to Vegas.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Stick on the Raiders This Sunday, the official away game
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: watch party takes place at mister Chubby's West Side location.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: This weekend and then also today's episode brought to you
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: by Field's Auto Groups, the Field first acting with Premier
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Luxury Auto Group go to Fields Auto dot Com. So
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit different this week because it's Flora, Georgia.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So the team's gonna head out early on Saturday, very early,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and get to Las Vegas. And Liam Cohen was pretty
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: upfront about the schedule. When they get there, there will
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: be no trips to the casino, staying far away from that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: They're gonna do.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Walk through at a local high school and team meetings
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: all day. But Brian, as you mentioned, a lot of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the focus has to be on today's practice and kind
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: of Friday a little bit as well as just getting
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: on the same page.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Well, I do think that's the case, and I also
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: think that's Saturday. The advantage to going out there and
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: getting a walk through out there is a little more
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: acclimatization and a little bit more focus on those things
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: that we've all talked about this week, and you know,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: running the ball and knowing where Max Crosby is, I mean,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: all of them. It gives you one more opportunity as
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: opposed to practicing here, getting on the plane, losing your distraction.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I think it's a perfect week for.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Them to go early.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you hope, And I don't know why they wouldn't
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: field real urgency. This is you know, there's a big
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: difference in this league between five and three and.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Four and four.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, in other sports, not a big deal.
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: Seventeen games get to five and three. It's me a
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: huge difference coming back five and three and.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Four and four. This is a big one.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I also think this is a game where you prove
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: to everybody not the same old Jacks, right. I've heard
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: that the last two weeks since the loss in London
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: and how it seemed like it was the same old Jacks,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: and those of us who are around here and understand
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: what Tony Boselli and James Gladstone and Liam Cohen have done,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: understand that it's a different program entirely. This would seem
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: to be a game where you could prove that to
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: people by going and winning a game that most people
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: think you should win but won't be an easy game
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: So I think that this is bigger than just that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: I think this is about winning, and it's about the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: effect of the win being confidence.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: In your fan base.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: A huge opportunity to instill some confidence in the fan base. Also,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: if you want to make a playoff push, you bet
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you definitely need this win. So we will be out
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in Vegas for the game. Of course, we'll have your
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: post game coverage on Jaguars dot com Jaguars YouTube. Will
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: be back here in jag XAM on Tuesday to enjoy
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: Enjoy your weekend.
