Speaker 1: us a comment and a five star rating. We start
0:46
Speaker 1: this week with the reaction to the Jaguars Week fourteen
0:49
Speaker 1: win over the Titans. The Jags defense had four takeaways
0:53
Speaker 1: last week and Trevor Lawrence's career day through the air
0:56
Speaker 1: led the way to victory. But it was what happened
0:58
Speaker 1: during the victory four Mason kneel down at the end
1:01
Speaker 1: of the game that also grabbed the attention of Pete
1:03
Speaker 1: Briscoe and Tony Boselli as they joined me Monday afternoon
1:07
Speaker 1: on Jaguar's Happy Our Radio. On the kneel down at
1:10
Speaker 1: the end of the game, the center back and Trevor
1:15
Speaker 1: Lawrence goes right up into his face and gets into
1:18
Speaker 1: his grill and tells him all about it, and then
1:20
Speaker 1: points to the scoreboard at the end as the clock
1:22
Speaker 1: is ticking down. It may not be huge at the
1:25
Speaker 1: end of the day, but I think that tells you
1:27
Speaker 1: a lot about what this guy means to this locker room,
1:30
Speaker 1: in this organization right there. Well, no, you know what
1:33
Speaker 1: else it does. It's it's exactly what we said last week.
1:36
Speaker 1: We talked about the bully, bully and the bully and
1:38
Speaker 1: you can't be until you bully the bully back. He's
1:40
Speaker 1: going to continue to do it, will they bully the bully.
1:43
Speaker 1: That's what they did, and he he bullied the bully. Look,
1:46
Speaker 1: I've always been one of those guys back in the day.
1:48
Speaker 1: I used to point to the scoreboard all the time.
1:50
Speaker 1: Take a peek, dude, you're getting blown out, Shut up,
1:52
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it was it was the classic one.
1:55
Speaker 1: I love that to me. That was one of my
1:58
Speaker 1: favorite parts of the entire game, by the way, of
2:01
Speaker 1: course I would love that, but I the way he
2:03
Speaker 1: handled it. He got in the guy's face and then
2:05
Speaker 1: he walked away and pointed to the scoreboard. It was vintage.
2:08
Speaker 1: It was great, don't I don't care about pointing in
2:11
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. What I loved is their defensive line took
2:14
Speaker 1: a cheap shot on a Neil. Now you don't do that,
2:18
Speaker 1: and before the offensive line could even do anything, Trevor's
2:22
Speaker 1: in the dude's face saying, no, that's not what you
2:24
Speaker 1: do here. And I love that. Forget about the point
2:27
Speaker 1: he basically said no, no, we're not gonna take that,
2:32
Speaker 1: and then and then you watch the offensive line rally
2:34
Speaker 1: around him. I loved it. It was beautiful. I don't
2:36
Speaker 1: care about pointing the scoreboard, basically saying making the statement, no,
2:41
Speaker 1: not any longer. It's over. And you know, watching that,
2:44
Speaker 1: it really makes me want to see we get Dean
2:47
Speaker 1: d for something at how good? You know what, I
2:52
Speaker 1: can't remember the last time this team played on Sunday
2:54
Speaker 1: night football. I'll say this, if that's for all the
2:58
Speaker 1: money to go to the playoffs, that might be the
3:01
Speaker 1: game against flex Is remember they Flexic game to No,
3:04
Speaker 1: there's no Sunday night game too. At this point, they
3:07
Speaker 1: wait for whatever game has the most meaning for the playoffs.
3:12
Speaker 1: The other South Division is going. It could be Brady
3:14
Speaker 1: player could be well yeah, and if it's Brady, Brady
3:18
Speaker 1: is gonna get the is gonna get the jump, no doubt.
3:20
Speaker 1: But could you imagine to go to the playoffs in Jacksonville,
3:26
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans Jackson Jaguars. That'd be awesome, Just just don't
3:31
Speaker 1: make a rap video before the game that moment. More
3:37
Speaker 1: on that, maybe a littlettle bit. Jaguars Happy Our Monday
3:40
Speaker 1: airs four to six pm on TIN to Next l
3:42
Speaker 1: a M, Jaguars dot com, and the Jaguars social media
3:45
Speaker 1: channels Twitter and Facebook and YouTube. Now let's hear from
3:49
Speaker 1: the quarterback himself Wednesday, Trevor Lawrence and his weekly press conference,
3:53
Speaker 1: this time after being named a FC Offensive Player of
3:56
Speaker 1: the Week for a second time this season. Are you
3:59
Speaker 1: getting to have a rhythm with Doug as a play
4:01
Speaker 1: caller to the point where you are you starting to
4:04
Speaker 1: anticipate what he calls? And you know, is he calling
4:08
Speaker 1: what you were thinking? Maybe? Yeah, I mean situationally, we
4:11
Speaker 1: talk a lot about obviously third down red zone, different
4:14
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and then you have a plan, you know,
4:16
Speaker 1: to start each game kind of what what which direction
4:18
Speaker 1: you're going to head the first few plays, so obviously
4:21
Speaker 1: you know that, but then third down, red zone. You're
4:23
Speaker 1: on the same page. We have our ideas of what
4:25
Speaker 1: we like and we talk about, you know, kind of
4:27
Speaker 1: the order we want. Obviously that can change based on
4:29
Speaker 1: the situation, so I can anticipate those, but as the
4:32
Speaker 1: game goes, I think more so we have I mean,
4:34
Speaker 1: we have a huge menu of plays to run. So
4:36
Speaker 1: it's not like I always know what he's calling, but
4:38
Speaker 1: we're always in the same page in the situation, and
4:41
Speaker 1: just the way we communicate whatever situation is, Hey, this
4:43
Speaker 1: an opportunity to take a shot, or let's let's be smart,
4:46
Speaker 1: let's take a completion, keep like, keep the chains moving,
4:49
Speaker 1: whatever it is. He does a good job of kind
4:51
Speaker 1: of reminded me of some of those things. And now
4:53
Speaker 1: as it's gone more and more, he doesn't have to
4:55
Speaker 1: as much because we're on the same page and I
4:57
Speaker 1: kind of know, like I've talked about with you' all,
4:58
Speaker 1: just feel position where we're at. You know, there was
5:00
Speaker 1: a couple of times in Tennessee game. We ended up
5:03
Speaker 1: settling for field goals, but I think we were really
5:04
Speaker 1: smart about you know what we called. And then just
5:07
Speaker 1: my mindset of Okay, can I extend the play. I
5:09
Speaker 1: don't need to get out of my hands, take a completion,
5:12
Speaker 1: you know, throw it away. We got the field goal already,
5:14
Speaker 1: all those things. I think the more you've played together
5:18
Speaker 1: and played for someone, that kind of flows more naturally,
5:20
Speaker 1: and you you know what to expect call wise, and
5:23
Speaker 1: you know what they're expecting me to do, and there's
5:25
Speaker 1: just that trust of because there's I mean, there's situations
5:28
Speaker 1: you see around the league and then especially like college
5:30
Speaker 1: or wherever, where different situations are called differently based on
5:34
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is and the trust that they have
5:36
Speaker 1: in that guy, Like do we trust them to make
5:38
Speaker 1: the right decision or is gonna hold onto it and
5:40
Speaker 1: take a sack in this critical moment where we don't
5:42
Speaker 1: have any time outs or we're in field goal range
5:44
Speaker 1: and we could get knocked out of field goal range.
5:46
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, they're showing a lot of
5:48
Speaker 1: trust in me, and I think that's where I've grown
5:50
Speaker 1: a lot as a player, is just understanding those situations.
5:53
Speaker 1: So I think that's been a cool thing for us
5:55
Speaker 1: to go through. An interview this week, he thinks the
5:58
Speaker 1: London game, particularly that red zone and never was kind
6:00
Speaker 1: of a wake up call for you, kind of you're
6:02
Speaker 1: turning point? Is that kind of kind of how do
6:04
Speaker 1: you see it? Yeah, I mean I think There's been
6:06
Speaker 1: a few of those moments, um, really in my career
6:09
Speaker 1: so far. But I think at that point, I remember,
6:11
Speaker 1: I never forget how I felt in that locker room
6:13
Speaker 1: after the game. You know, obviously it wasn't a good
6:16
Speaker 1: day for me, and I really just felt like, really
6:19
Speaker 1: it felt like that a couple of times, but none
6:21
Speaker 1: more than after that game. Really felt like I let
6:23
Speaker 1: the team down, you know, should have won that game. Um,
6:26
Speaker 1: I think we had lost four and that was our
6:28
Speaker 1: fifth one in a row. So I was just remember,
6:31
Speaker 1: I never forgot how I felt in that locker rooms.
6:32
Speaker 1: I don't want to feel like this anymore. You know,
6:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna one start taking care of the ball.
6:36
Speaker 1: But too, I just want to be the player that
6:39
Speaker 1: I know I can be. And I think that kind
6:40
Speaker 1: of flipped a switching me. And obviously and and honestly too,
6:43
Speaker 1: I think I have a little bit more of a
6:45
Speaker 1: chip on my shoulder now, just because you know, last
6:48
Speaker 1: year and a half, I don't I don't really forget
6:50
Speaker 1: what what's been said and um, what people have written,
6:52
Speaker 1: and now you know, you see people change their mind
6:55
Speaker 1: after a couple of weeks. And but I but I,
6:58
Speaker 1: but I remember everything, you know, and I don't use
6:59
Speaker 1: that necessarily is my only fuel, but definitely use that.
7:02
Speaker 1: And I think that's something this team has done. You know,
7:04
Speaker 1: we kind of remember how what people were saying we
7:06
Speaker 1: lost five in a row. Then we've won some big
7:09
Speaker 1: games now and um, people kind of change their mind. Click.
7:12
Speaker 1: So we just have that same mentality that we're just
7:15
Speaker 1: we want to prove, you know, how good we can
7:16
Speaker 1: be every week. And I think that's been the cool
7:18
Speaker 1: thing about this team. The full Lawrence press conference available
7:21
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. Moving to the Coordinator's Thursday, Offensive
7:25
Speaker 1: coordinator Press Taylor on the different players that step up
7:29
Speaker 1: week to week to make plays in the offense, and
7:31
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, a credit to to the roster
7:34
Speaker 1: we have offensively, you know, we we feel like there
7:36
Speaker 1: are a number of guys if a defense were to
7:38
Speaker 1: do something to try to take away one guy, we
7:40
Speaker 1: have another another couple of guys that can step up
7:42
Speaker 1: in any moment, have have a game. Um, if the
7:45
Speaker 1: flow of the game kind of dictates that the next
7:47
Speaker 1: guy steps up. It's not like there's been a conservative
7:49
Speaker 1: effort to go in and say this guy's gonna get
7:51
Speaker 1: all the targets. It's kind of the ball finds the
7:53
Speaker 1: guy that's supposed to find at certain times, and when
7:55
Speaker 1: Trevor's playing that way and operating that way and somebody
7:59
Speaker 1: has a big game, it's just kind of a byproduct
8:00
Speaker 1: of It's not necessarily we went out with the intention
8:02
Speaker 1: of Evan having this huge game. Um, the ball just
8:05
Speaker 1: kind of found him. Trevor did a good job getting
8:06
Speaker 1: to him, he did a good job getting open, and
8:07
Speaker 1: he took advantage of his opportunities. You've been with Doug
8:10
Speaker 1: now long enough, probably as much as a certainly as
8:12
Speaker 1: much as anybody on this staff. Uh. If you had
8:15
Speaker 1: to pick one trade of Doug that makes him an
8:18
Speaker 1: effective NFL head coach, what would you say? It is consistency.
8:22
Speaker 1: That's easy. Consistency. He's the same guy every single day,
8:25
Speaker 1: walks in the building from the way hero. You know,
8:27
Speaker 1: we lose five in a row, whatever it may be,
8:29
Speaker 1: we win a big game. He comes in the next
8:31
Speaker 1: day with the same approach to the staff um the
8:34
Speaker 1: same same idea of just trusting the process. So you
8:37
Speaker 1: know what you're getting with him. You come in, you're
8:39
Speaker 1: not worried he being a bad moves in good mood.
8:40
Speaker 1: Is he? This is he that you know exactly who
8:42
Speaker 1: he's going to be with the coaching staff, with the players,
8:45
Speaker 1: his expectations, where you stand and so it's easy to
8:48
Speaker 1: do your job that way. And defensive coordinator might cold
8:50
Speaker 1: well after quarterback Tyson Campbell had three passes defense last
8:54
Speaker 1: week against Tennessee, challenging receivers and getting his hands on him,
8:58
Speaker 1: and then down the field he's able to look hit
9:00
Speaker 1: the ball. He's worked on that. You can see the
9:02
Speaker 1: dividends paying off. He that would locate the ball and
9:04
Speaker 1: knock him down. We should come away with more interceptions
9:07
Speaker 1: when he's in position. But he's doing a great job
9:09
Speaker 1: of winning at the line of scrimates and winning downfield. Well. Really,
9:13
Speaker 1: I didn't know how he prepared last year, but I
9:16
Speaker 1: see him spending extra time. He meets early in the morning,
9:19
Speaker 1: gets a little extra with his coach at the Shay
9:22
Speaker 1: is doing a great job of feeding him information. He's
9:24
Speaker 1: taking it. And then on the field, you see the
9:26
Speaker 1: confidence and you see the leadership starting to show up.
9:29
Speaker 1: He'll speak to the dbs and get guys in the
9:32
Speaker 1: right place. So it's good to see the growth. The
9:34
Speaker 1: coordinator press conference is of course available on Jaguars dot Com.
9:38
Speaker 1: Moving along now to huddle up with Bucky Brooks Wednesday
9:41
Speaker 1: afternoon and plenty of offensive discussion from last week's game
9:45
Speaker 1: and moving ahead, Bucky, john Oser and I got into
9:47
Speaker 1: the Jaguars ground game and how to get more out
9:50
Speaker 1: of it. How did the Jaguars run the football better,
9:54
Speaker 1: more effectively, more consistently. Is it just the way games
9:57
Speaker 1: have gone lately or is there more to it. It's
10:00
Speaker 1: more to it. You gotta be able to push the
10:01
Speaker 1: people off the ball. Uh. The Tennessee Titans are front,
10:04
Speaker 1: were stout. You know, you have Jeffrey Simmons and some
10:06
Speaker 1: of those other guys in front there. They're not easy
10:08
Speaker 1: to move off the ball. And so it takes a
10:11
Speaker 1: commitment to kind of grinding it out, being a more
10:14
Speaker 1: ground and pound team to be able to do to
10:17
Speaker 1: do it. And it also takes a runner that you know,
10:21
Speaker 1: multiple runners that kind of have some size to him
10:23
Speaker 1: that can kind of lean on the defense and um
10:25
Speaker 1: kind of wear them down over time. That said, I
10:28
Speaker 1: think Travis Atien can be effective, and I think the
10:30
Speaker 1: number one thing that you want to see is the
10:32
Speaker 1: amount of carries that the or rush attempts that the
10:36
Speaker 1: Jaguars have. If you get the Russian attempts over twenty
10:39
Speaker 1: to thirty, at least it shows a commitment. It makes
10:41
Speaker 1: the defense continue to honor the run and then you're
10:44
Speaker 1: able to throw it. But hopefully this team can win
10:46
Speaker 1: a variety of different ways. It's not always throwing it
10:48
Speaker 1: all over the yard then it always ground and pound. Uh.
10:51
Speaker 1: They have a nice happy medium where if the quarterback
10:54
Speaker 1: needs to step in and throw it, they can do it.
10:56
Speaker 1: If you need Travis Aten to make me a place
10:58
Speaker 1: on the ground, he can do it as well. It
10:59
Speaker 1: isn't that a big thing in this discussion, Bucky. Is
11:01
Speaker 1: something you said during your last answer. In this offense,
11:04
Speaker 1: especially in the NFL overall right now, but especially in
11:08
Speaker 1: this offense, it's the threat of the run is as
11:12
Speaker 1: important as actually running. And it seemed to me they
11:14
Speaker 1: ran enough the other day. Carries I think it was.
11:17
Speaker 1: It seemed to me the Titans continued to believe that
11:20
Speaker 1: the Jaguars were going to try to run and they
11:24
Speaker 1: had to play defense to honor it. And in Doug system,
11:27
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's that worried week to week if
11:30
Speaker 1: he walks out and they've got sixty yards rushing, if
11:33
Speaker 1: they have three eight yards passing, I don't think he's
11:35
Speaker 1: that worried about it. No, I don't think he's that
11:37
Speaker 1: worried about it, because I think he still views a
11:39
Speaker 1: game running it through the quarterback um as a true
11:42
Speaker 1: West Coast disciple, the running game is secondary to being
11:46
Speaker 1: able to throw it. In a perfect world, what you
11:49
Speaker 1: like to do is throw the ball early to get
11:51
Speaker 1: the lead, and then in the second half you accumulate
11:53
Speaker 1: your rushing yards as you beginning to run out the clock.
11:56
Speaker 1: And so the Jaguars have kind of operated under their
12:00
Speaker 1: premise when they've been able to play very very well
12:02
Speaker 1: at the beginning, Trevor Lawrence comes out throws that they
12:05
Speaker 1: get on the board. They're operating efficiently and effectively, and
12:07
Speaker 1: then you begin to see the running game become a
12:09
Speaker 1: factor in the second half. So there are a couple
12:12
Speaker 1: of different ways to skin the cat. In a perfect world,
12:15
Speaker 1: you would like in Jacksonville. You would like Trevor Lawrence
12:17
Speaker 1: to kind of do the heavy lifting and then Travis
12:19
Speaker 1: Antienne come and finish it awfully. Huddle up with Bucky

Speaker 1: Give us that five star rating as always. Thank you
13:54
Speaker 1: Now to the best of our shows this week. Starting
13:56
Speaker 1: on the other side of the Jags offensive line from
13:59
Speaker 1: Jowan Taylor, it's left tackle Cam Robinson, now in his
14:02
Speaker 1: sixth year in the NFL. He joined the Ozon podcast
14:06
Speaker 1: this week and talked plenty with John Oser about outside
14:09
Speaker 1: noise and how to deal with it. Tell me about
14:12
Speaker 1: the difference between what people think they know about what
14:15
Speaker 1: you do and what they actually know about what you do.
14:19
Speaker 1: Meaning when you hear criticism of a Cam Robinson left tackle,
14:23
Speaker 1: I love asking left tackles. I mean, I think there's
14:27
Speaker 1: a lot of people that kind of I think they
14:30
Speaker 1: know the game, and I don't want to because they
14:31
Speaker 1: probably do know the game, but it's so much when
14:35
Speaker 1: it when it comes to our position is in particular
14:38
Speaker 1: just offensive line player, is so much other stuff that
14:42
Speaker 1: goes into it, and there's so much other stuff that
14:43
Speaker 1: it consists of that people have no idea about. But
14:48
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always gonna be like casuals, and they
14:50
Speaker 1: probably do casually know the game touchdown, first down, fall,
14:54
Speaker 1: star holding, like that type of stuff, but there's only
14:57
Speaker 1: a small minute group of people that actually know football
15:01
Speaker 1: and like actually knows they came and actually knows what
15:03
Speaker 1: they're talking about, if we just being honest. So I mean,
15:07
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be that type of stuff. Though. Are
15:09
Speaker 1: you better at grasping that than you were when you
15:12
Speaker 1: were a rookie? Absolutely? And you learn and I think
15:16
Speaker 1: this honestly just comes with age. You learn not to
15:18
Speaker 1: care um when you're when you're older. I mean, when
15:21
Speaker 1: you're younger, I think it's so important to you what
15:24
Speaker 1: people think about you and how people feel about you.
15:27
Speaker 1: But I think the older you get, just maturity. You
15:30
Speaker 1: learn that. I was watching this Lebron and if you're
15:32
Speaker 1: when you says you gotta just learn to not give.
15:34
Speaker 1: And I can't really say it, but you gotta learn
15:36
Speaker 1: to not care. You gotta learn to not care what
15:38
Speaker 1: nobody thinks. Um, and that's been I mean, I think
15:42
Speaker 1: that will be you. I think that's huge for any
15:44
Speaker 1: athlete just in general. Um, just be confident in your
15:47
Speaker 1: self confidence, your abilities and definitely you can't worry about
15:51
Speaker 1: if they're not in the kind of like in the
15:53
Speaker 1: Foxhole with you there, the opinions, the tweets, the whatever,
15:58
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I mean, you gotta let like it.
16:01
Speaker 1: And it is. It's not easy because I think that's
16:03
Speaker 1: kind of human nature to care about what people think
16:06
Speaker 1: about you, how people feel about you. But I mean
16:08
Speaker 1: you you genuinely op to not care. And in the
16:11
Speaker 1: social media age, it's almost impossible. I covered back in
16:16
Speaker 1: the day, well there were a couple of TV stations
16:18
Speaker 1: in a newspaper who were weighing in, but he wasn't
16:21
Speaker 1: hearing it from the entire Twitter verse everybody and everybody's
16:27
Speaker 1: somebody on Twitter. So it's just I mean, she's kind
16:31
Speaker 1: of just gotta learn how to balance that kind of
16:32
Speaker 1: learning to deal with that. Once. I feel like, once
16:34
Speaker 1: you do a good job of mastering that and kind
16:36
Speaker 1: of learning how to deal with that. That's so that's
16:38
Speaker 1: when you start to that's when your game starts to
16:40
Speaker 1: take steps. Mentally told me once, and I think most
16:46
Speaker 1: offensive lineman lived by this. You can have sixty five
16:49
Speaker 1: great plays lineman, and you have one bad one, and
16:53
Speaker 1: you're in the opposite way. For defensive end. They always
16:58
Speaker 1: say defensive end probably the only position, and you can
17:00
Speaker 1: lose like eighty five per cent of your reps and
17:02
Speaker 1: be considered like a good players wicked when you think
17:05
Speaker 1: about it, But people don't think about it. So I'm
17:08
Speaker 1: sure they've been games for you. I feel like you
17:10
Speaker 1: played great and then there's one play. Yeah, I mean,
17:13
Speaker 1: and what you gotta learn to do is know that
17:15
Speaker 1: you play great. I mean, one play can't like it's football.
17:18
Speaker 1: One play cannot dictate the way that the game like
17:22
Speaker 1: has gone for an individual. Um. The good players learn
17:26
Speaker 1: how to kind of just like let their roll off
17:28
Speaker 1: their back and just kind of keep it moving like
17:30
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Um. Just speaking from opposite, my position
17:34
Speaker 1: is in particularly play offensive line, the quarterback has thirty
17:38
Speaker 1: five something like that attempts you drop back thirty times like,
17:42
Speaker 1: no one is going to be thirty for me or
17:44
Speaker 1: if you are thirty for thirty, then those are But
17:46
Speaker 1: if you lose a rep or if you lose like like,
17:49
Speaker 1: it's not it's not the end of the world. So
17:51
Speaker 1: people probably make it try to seem like you're staying there,
17:53
Speaker 1: but it's it's it's fine. Is that where you're probably
17:56
Speaker 1: I mean from year one to now, is it mentally
18:00
Speaker 1: where you're a better player? Absolutely? Night and like mentally
18:04
Speaker 1: it's just like this is a night and day. And
18:06
Speaker 1: I would always just just always talk to light when
18:09
Speaker 1: I was younger, just trying to talk to like older
18:10
Speaker 1: players and try to just take like little bits and
18:12
Speaker 1: pieces from how they what they do mentally or how
18:15
Speaker 1: they mentally prepare this weekend and week out. But mentally
18:18
Speaker 1: is easily probably where my game is taken the biggest jump,
18:22
Speaker 1: because physically I've always been um just ky giving in
18:26
Speaker 1: and the things that I can do, but I just
18:28
Speaker 1: always trying to keep those skills sharp. But physically it
18:30
Speaker 1: is easily where my came has grown the most. The
18:33
Speaker 1: ozone podcast, presented by Vice Star with left tackle Cam Robinson,
18:37
Speaker 1: available now on the Official Jaguars Podcast Network. Moving to
18:41
Speaker 1: the matchup with the Dallas Cowboys in week fifteen. Brian
18:44
Speaker 1: brought us of one of five three the fan in
18:46
Speaker 1: Dallas and a former scout joined Brian Sexton and John
18:49
Speaker 1: Ozan on Jack's Drive Time Wednesday morning, and he was
18:52
Speaker 1: asked if Michael Parsons is the best player on a
18:55
Speaker 1: star studded roster in Big d Oh. Absolutely, you know,
18:58
Speaker 1: there was there was a time where we always were
19:01
Speaker 1: talking about Tyrann Smith, and then Zack Martin came along.
19:06
Speaker 1: There was a time with Ezekiel Elliott, you know that
19:09
Speaker 1: you might have thrown him in, but this organization caught
19:13
Speaker 1: a huge break with Michael Parsons. You know when we
19:16
Speaker 1: were evaluating him coming out of Penn State, you know,
19:19
Speaker 1: the COVID year not playing and all that, and you
19:23
Speaker 1: really were in one of those modes where you were
19:25
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, you know, wow, this is an
19:28
Speaker 1: off ball linebacker. They traded back. They were able to
19:31
Speaker 1: grab him, but it took an injury to the Marcus
19:35
Speaker 1: Lawrence and for him to kind of get the recognition.
19:40
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn in week two said, listen, we need a
19:43
Speaker 1: pass rusher against the Chargers, and Michael Parsons became that guy,
19:48
Speaker 1: and then you started to see the power of the explosiveness,
19:51
Speaker 1: the quickness. You know, he had a real feel for
19:54
Speaker 1: how to do it, and you know, it just really
19:57
Speaker 1: kind of blossomed from that time that dan Quinn has
20:01
Speaker 1: moved him around and uh and and and really played
20:05
Speaker 1: to his strengths. And it was really funny because evaluating
20:08
Speaker 1: at Penn State, I would challenge anybody to to find
20:11
Speaker 1: the film of him as a uh, really like a
20:14
Speaker 1: defensive end pass rusher. I mean, he was a damn
20:17
Speaker 1: good linebacker, but you know, the pass rush stuff was
20:20
Speaker 1: something that really the Cowboys did a good job of
20:23
Speaker 1: getting that out of him. Brian, take me through the
20:25
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. Good to talk to again, by the way,
20:28
Speaker 1: I remember from the nineties we talked a little bit.
20:31
Speaker 1: Always enjoyed you. Offensively, you know, this team overall and
20:36
Speaker 1: offensively they look so dominant in terms of talent, but offensively,
20:40
Speaker 1: if they have an Achilles heel, if teams get them,
20:44
Speaker 1: where do they get the Cowboys? If you follow me, well, John,
20:47
Speaker 1: it's it's really teams have kind of figured out. And
20:51
Speaker 1: last week the Texans did something that teams had been
20:55
Speaker 1: doing last year to this offense, and that was playing
20:58
Speaker 1: a lot of cover too with those two uh safeties
21:02
Speaker 1: off the hash and so teams that have blitzed Dak
21:06
Speaker 1: Prescott have kind of learned that that's probably not the
21:10
Speaker 1: best way to go. He's good at handling the blitz,
21:13
Speaker 1: he's good at getting rid of the ball. But teams
21:17
Speaker 1: that play what we call clogg and cover with that
21:19
Speaker 1: too deep look. You know, they rushed forward drop seven
21:23
Speaker 1: and they make him have to read the field, and
21:27
Speaker 1: they just didn't do a very good job last week
21:29
Speaker 1: until the final drive. You know, Levy Smith really the
21:32
Speaker 1: majority of the game played that cover too look, and
21:35
Speaker 1: it really does affect dark Prescott because you know, he's struggling,
21:40
Speaker 1: as you guys mentioned with the interceptions. Uh, he's you know,
21:44
Speaker 1: he struggles at times finding those open receivers and you know,
21:48
Speaker 1: they just they just haven't been able to get open.
21:52
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be surprised at all of going forward
21:55
Speaker 1: when you play the Cowboys that maybe you know that
21:58
Speaker 1: we see other teams say, wow, they you know, the
22:00
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos last year had a plan for how to
22:03
Speaker 1: play and teams took advantage of that. Went away from
22:06
Speaker 1: that and then we saw it again because Lovey Smith
22:09
Speaker 1: being a big, two deep guy. You know, it kind
22:13
Speaker 1: of came back and it looked like that, you know,
22:15
Speaker 1: did Doc had problems again until that final drive, kind
22:19
Speaker 1: of picking that thing apart. Jack's Drivetime Monday, Wednesday and
22:23
Speaker 1: Thursday mornings on Jaguars dot Com. Let's go to a
22:26
Speaker 1: preview of an interview that will air in full on
22:28
Speaker 1: the Official Jaguars Podcast Network Saturday, and we'll run again
22:32
Speaker 1: in parts Sunday and countdown to kickoff on the Jaguars
22:35
Speaker 1: Radio Network. It's Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred
22:38
Speaker 1: Taylor and what a matchup of running backs this week
22:42
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys on the Jaguars, starting with the two
22:45
Speaker 1: headed backfield in Dallas. I love him as attendant. I
22:48
Speaker 1: think from a longevity standpoint, they take care of each other.
22:52
Speaker 1: You know, Zeke has been a star straight out Ohio State.
22:56
Speaker 1: He made his mark on the NFL by being a
22:59
Speaker 1: league leading rush your multiple occasions. But he's slowed down something.
23:03
Speaker 1: He's getting up there a bit in the ages, approaching
23:06
Speaker 1: his thirties. But they have an amazing insurance policy. And
23:10
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard guy they drafted in twenty nineteen, so he's
23:14
Speaker 1: been around maybe and I don't want to shorten his
23:17
Speaker 1: career something like that, But he's been around UH as
23:21
Speaker 1: long as Zeke. But a guy who has tremendous bursts,
23:25
Speaker 1: you know, and he's out playing Zeke. As you said
23:27
Speaker 1: it a lot of times. We like to say the
23:29
Speaker 1: running back position is the luck of the draw, meaning
23:32
Speaker 1: some guys you get in there. Sometimes this guy gets
23:35
Speaker 1: a great blocking opportunity and gets a hold, while this
23:38
Speaker 1: guy may not. And regardless of that, you still want
23:41
Speaker 1: to be dynamic and make a play and put your
23:44
Speaker 1: your your team in a great UH position to capitalize
23:49
Speaker 1: by scoring. But they have two guys that are threats.
23:52
Speaker 1: Pollard can take it the distance with his speed. Zeke
23:55
Speaker 1: he could do the same. Zeke's gonna give you more power, uh.
23:59
Speaker 1: Poler is gonna if you more jump cut slashing ability.
24:02
Speaker 1: But together they make up the best tandem UH in
24:06
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right on the other side, it's been a
24:09
Speaker 1: little bit since Travis E. T N has put it together,
24:12
Speaker 1: at least statistically some you know, the game situations have
24:15
Speaker 1: dictated some of that. Trevor's playing well, they're throwing it.
24:18
Speaker 1: They'll have to rally whatever happens right, they get away
24:21
Speaker 1: away from it, or it's just not effective where he's
24:23
Speaker 1: dinged up right. Well, this is one of those weeks
24:26
Speaker 1: where they better run the ball and stay ahead of
24:29
Speaker 1: the chains. And yes, Trevor is playing well and throwing well,
24:31
Speaker 1: he's the FC offensive Player of the week. But you
24:34
Speaker 1: don't want to get in the habit as you mentioned earlier,
24:36
Speaker 1: standing back there at third eight, third and ten with
24:40
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons and Lawrence coming off the edge. So this
24:43
Speaker 1: seems like a Travis E. T N game. Can they
24:45
Speaker 1: get him going and how do they get him going
24:47
Speaker 1: on the ground, JP, You and I both know well
24:50
Speaker 1: that if you want to minimize the pass rush, you
24:54
Speaker 1: have to run the ball effectively, or if you do
24:57
Speaker 1: have to pass it, you don't want to be in
24:58
Speaker 1: third and forever, meaning you know third and seven plus
25:03
Speaker 1: you don't wanna uh. You want to try to avoid
25:05
Speaker 1: those to avoid those situations. Uh. And then the third thing,
25:09
Speaker 1: if you are in those situations, you want to be
25:12
Speaker 1: able to have certain protections called where the backs are
25:15
Speaker 1: releasing outside so he can get a nice chip or
25:19
Speaker 1: I like to call him chunks front off the defense
25:23
Speaker 1: off the pass rusher. So either way, whether it's through
25:27
Speaker 1: run game success or being involved in the past game,
25:31
Speaker 1: They're gonna need Travis E. T n to be at
25:33
Speaker 1: the top of his game, whether it's you know, a
25:35
Speaker 1: receiver out at the backfield, getting the short uh checkdowns
25:39
Speaker 1: and then doing something with those. Those are really extended handoffs.
25:43
Speaker 1: They're just recategorize it as a as a reception or
25:46
Speaker 1: a pass. But I'll take those any day of the
25:49
Speaker 1: week as long as the ball is moving and you're
25:52
Speaker 1: not giving them uh huge sign to t off on
25:57
Speaker 1: and long down situations. So but yeah, running the ball
26:01
Speaker 1: will be somewhere. They need to start some quick heater traps,
26:05
Speaker 1: you know, something right up to gut, some quick calls
26:08
Speaker 1: in play, some draws they keep them off balance. Either case,
26:12
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to mix it up really well. But
26:14
Speaker 1: full conversation with Fred Taylor coming up Saturday on the
26:17
Speaker 1: Official Jaguars podcast Network. Let's wrap the week with the
26:21
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show from Thursday and head coach Doug Peterson's
26:24
Speaker 1: overall thoughts about the Dallas Cowboys. This Cowboys football team,
26:28
Speaker 1: great challenge for your team as a bottle well rounded
26:31
Speaker 1: as a football team, You're gonna face probably since the
26:34
Speaker 1: Philadelphia go. As far as offense and defense and special teams,
26:38
Speaker 1: you guys gonna have to be on it. Yeah, this
26:40
Speaker 1: is a good football team all three phases, even special
26:42
Speaker 1: teams are really really good. You got great players, good
26:45
Speaker 1: returners now they're they're kicker is outstanding. Um. And then
26:49
Speaker 1: you know, defensively they're they they've created takeaways this year,
26:52
Speaker 1: you know, only fumbles, but interceptions. Um, they're really good
26:56
Speaker 1: on third down, you know, and and and just a um,
27:00
Speaker 1: a well coached team again. Coach McCarthy's got these guys rolling.
27:03
Speaker 1: You know, this is really two years in a row
27:05
Speaker 1: now that they've they're playing like this and kind of
27:07
Speaker 1: lights out and and it does it takes you know it,
27:10
Speaker 1: it's going to take a really good effort by our
27:13
Speaker 1: football team. Um, you can't make a lot of mistakes,
27:16
Speaker 1: you know, you can't. You gotta take care of the
27:17
Speaker 1: football against these guys. Great pass rushers in Michael Parsons
27:21
Speaker 1: and and you know DeMarcus Lauren. I mean, these guys
27:24
Speaker 1: can get after you. And and offensive line is is good.
27:27
Speaker 1: I know they've got you know, the right tackle deal
27:29
Speaker 1: right now, but but offensive line is solid. So you know,
27:32
Speaker 1: where's where's the weakness you know, in in their team?
27:35
Speaker 1: And and uh, but I like, I like where our
27:38
Speaker 1: guys are at. I like the way we've been playing
27:39
Speaker 1: here the last couple of weeks, and then should be
27:41
Speaker 1: a good game. Their defense. Dan Quinn defensive coordinator. And
27:45
Speaker 1: you talked about Lawrence. You also talked about Michael Parsons.
27:48
Speaker 1: Is Michael Parsons maybe the best you've seen on the
27:52
Speaker 1: edge this year? I mean, watching the film on him,
27:54
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing that's got can't do. When he
27:56
Speaker 1: wins at such a high rate, it's incredible. This guy
28:00
Speaker 1: is extremely high motor. Um, he never quits. He's got
28:04
Speaker 1: a great first step. Um, he can cross face, he
28:07
Speaker 1: can he can bend the edge. UM, he can chase
28:11
Speaker 1: from behind. Um. I mean you see every play on
28:14
Speaker 1: tape and and um, you know he's a special player.
28:17
Speaker 1: And and we have to know where he's at obviously
28:19
Speaker 1: where he lines up. But if you if you put
28:22
Speaker 1: you know, all your eggs in one basket on one
28:25
Speaker 1: side of the field, there's number nineties standing on the
28:27
Speaker 1: other side of the field, and he's just as dangerous.
28:29
Speaker 1: So um, our tackles are gonna you know, Juan and
28:33
Speaker 1: cam or Or got their hands full this week. But
28:36
Speaker 1: but again that we don't have to put them on islands.
28:38
Speaker 1: You know, we've we've got you know, you put a
28:39
Speaker 1: tight end over there. But again you see tight ends
28:42
Speaker 1: and backs helping tackles, and these two guys are still
28:45
Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback. So it's a it's a really
28:47
Speaker 1: good challenge for us. Final thought, whether you here coach
28:49
Speaker 1: meaningful games in December, that was a goal of this
28:52
Speaker 1: organization and this certainly qualifies now to back of Tennessee.
28:56
Speaker 1: With four to play, the Dallas Cowboys have a lot
28:59
Speaker 1: to play for on their side as well. The environment
29:01
Speaker 1: should be uh one of the old time highs of
29:04
Speaker 1: here at the Bank, I think going into this game.
29:06
Speaker 1: So um, but for all that to matter down the
29:09
Speaker 1: stretch the next month, this game matters, right, It's it's
29:12
Speaker 1: one game at a time, right, It's definitely a one game,
29:15
Speaker 1: you know, mentality and and um, you know that's the
29:17
Speaker 1: way we approach each week. And and you know, this
29:20
Speaker 1: is a this is a big game for us again,
29:22
Speaker 1: just like we talked about last week being a big
29:23
Speaker 1: game and and sort of a must game, you know,
29:26
Speaker 1: And and our guys feel that and and I really
29:29
Speaker 1: want the guys to feel that pressure, you know, to
29:31
Speaker 1: feel um, the big game environment, you know, especially around here,
29:36
Speaker 1: and and it's it's it's all part of winning and
29:39
Speaker 1: and teaching the culture of winning. And um, you know,
29:42
Speaker 1: our guys are gonna be excited. Should be a great
29:44
Speaker 1: crowd from what I'm hearing, and and uh, I know
29:46
Speaker 1: the Cowboy fans travel extremely well. Um, I've been a
29:50
Speaker 1: part of a few of those games before, so it
29:53
Speaker 1: should be a great atmosphere on Sunday. You know, how
29:55
Speaker 1: to keep him quiet is to score early and often.
29:58
Speaker 1: How about that? That's the play, But it's easier said
30:00
Speaker 1: than done. The Doug Peterson Show airs Thursday at five
