Jags A.M. | Reviewing a Tough Week 10 & Looking at Upcoming Matchups · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

0:16
Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Zam today Kennannie Stephen, Harry, Brian Sexton
0:19
Speaker 1: and John Oser and a frustrating loss in Houston. What
0:23
Speaker 1: was a huge divisional matchup for the Jaguars as they
0:26
Speaker 1: blow a twenty nine to ten lead in the fourth quarter,
0:28
Speaker 1: as the Texans battle all the way back and they
0:31
Speaker 1: get a win. So let's go over our big things
0:33
Speaker 1: from me yesterday. There's a lot to go over today,
0:35
Speaker 1: brought to you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association Benefits
0:38
Speaker 1: for federal employees and retiree zero is big thing number one.
0:42
Speaker 1: There was no resistance from the defense in that fourth
0:45
Speaker 1: quarter as the Texans just imposed their will on offense,
0:48
Speaker 1: driving up and down the field and scoring twenty six
0:50
Speaker 1: unanswered points to win the game. William Cohen talked a
0:54
Speaker 1: little bit about the non existence pass rush and some
0:56
Speaker 1: of the issues on defense.
0:58
Speaker 2: The whole message was to squeeze the life out of
1:01
Speaker 2: these guys in the second half and go take it,
1:05
Speaker 2: go take it. And it's been a frustration for a
1:09
Speaker 2: while now, obviously the combination of lack of getting to
1:14
Speaker 2: the quarterback and when we do finishing it. But it
1:19
Speaker 2: definitely needs to continue to get evaluated and see who
1:22
Speaker 2: can help us do those things too.
1:24
Speaker 1: Brian pass rush has been a problem, but just the
1:26
Speaker 1: defense as a whole, kind of letting the text and
1:28
Speaker 1: dictate that whole fourth quarter.
1:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, we knew that the Jaguars had to help
1:33
Speaker 3: a beleaguered secondary. You were playing without Travis Hunter, who's
1:36
Speaker 3: your best corner, and Jordan Lewis, who's been the glue
1:39
Speaker 3: that's held that secondary together. Both of the safeties that
1:41
Speaker 3: you intended to start the season with are an injured reserve.
1:44
Speaker 3: You needed the pass rush and John The story all
1:46
Speaker 3: week had been that the Jaguars pass rush against the
1:49
Speaker 3: Texans in September was the reason in large part that
1:53
Speaker 3: they won that game. Two backups, a rookie left tackle
1:56
Speaker 3: and they got zero nothing now credit on a play
2:01
Speaker 3: where it appeared that the penalty on Jerry Jones was
2:04
Speaker 3: bogus right, It looked like he had made a good
2:07
Speaker 3: play hand fighting with Christian Kirk down the field. All
2:10
Speaker 3: they needed was one play, one play that may have
2:14
Speaker 3: changed the fourth quarter and stopped the Texans momentum. But
2:17
Speaker 3: they couldn't even get one.
2:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's what's most frustrating. Until that fourth quarter.
2:22
Speaker 4: The Texans hadn't done anything offensively really all year, so
2:26
Speaker 4: it's got to be frustrating for people watching it. There
2:29
Speaker 4: were moments where they got pressure the Jaguars. The problem
2:33
Speaker 4: right now is not that individuals aren't getting it. Josh Allen,
2:37
Speaker 4: Josh Heines Allen talks all the time about pass rush
2:40
Speaker 4: being a collective. When guys would get pressure, there was
2:42
Speaker 4: nothing there to help. There wasn't enough. Maybe they wore down,
2:47
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it was twenty four dropbacks in
2:53
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter and no sacks and you couldn't get
2:55
Speaker 4: him off the field. So not good enough.
2:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, half of the Texans plays thirty three are close
3:00
Speaker 1: to thirty three of their sixty nine were in the
3:02
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So the defense was on the field a
3:04
Speaker 1: ton too. Our big thing number two is one because
3:08
Speaker 1: the offense didn't help much out in the fourth quarter.
3:10
Speaker 1: Either went three and out, three and out and then
3:11
Speaker 1: three and a sack strip sack fumble that ended that
3:15
Speaker 1: being a touchdown. So Trevor Lawrence talked a little bit
3:18
Speaker 1: about the frustration of not putting that game away.
3:21
Speaker 3: You know, give all the credit to them there.
3:22
Speaker 5: They are really good defense. So they made some plays
3:26
Speaker 5: today where you know, good good defense, good teams are
3:29
Speaker 5: gonna make plays. But also feel like we left some
3:31
Speaker 5: stuff out there that we had some opportunities and we
3:34
Speaker 5: just have to be better and make those moving forward.
3:36
Speaker 5: We need them. You know. We got to play better offensively,
3:39
Speaker 5: We've got to move the ball better.
3:40
Speaker 3: We got to score more.
3:41
Speaker 5: Had a lot of short fields today and we just
3:44
Speaker 5: got to take advantage of that and be able to,
3:46
Speaker 5: you know, put a team away when you got them.
3:47
Speaker 5: You got them down that much, and you got to
3:49
Speaker 5: be able to finish and put the game away.
3:52
Speaker 1: John, The defense allowed the points to be scored, but
3:54
Speaker 1: the offense couldn't get a first down, They couldn't run
3:56
Speaker 1: any clock.
3:57
Speaker 6: In the fourth quarter.
3:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know when this kind of game happens,
4:01
Speaker 4: all my inboxes Trevor this, Trevor that. And I don't
4:04
Speaker 4: know if he played that great, but it looked in
4:08
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter like the pass rush was getting home
4:12
Speaker 4: way too fast on him. You're down, like Brian talked
4:16
Speaker 4: about the secondary, you're down your top three receivers entering
4:19
Speaker 4: training camp and you're down to Parker Washington and a
4:22
Speaker 4: lot of guys who were just called up. It's such
4:28
Speaker 4: a league of moments, right, Brian Yep. At the very
4:31
Speaker 4: end of the game, they had Parker Washington clearing on
4:34
Speaker 4: a huge play and the one area where the Blitz
4:37
Speaker 4: can get home got home and Trevor had to run
4:39
Speaker 4: the other end of the game play they had a
4:41
Speaker 4: play to Parker Washington would have put Cam Little in range.
4:44
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, a penalty, all those things were
4:46
Speaker 4: not talking about OUs. We're talking about what a great victory,
4:48
Speaker 4: but it was. It was just all around. I guess
4:52
Speaker 4: I don't quite know how to analyze this one because
4:55
Speaker 4: there was so much in so many moments soever on well, I.
4:58
Speaker 3: Want to I want to give them credit to Trevor.
5:00
Speaker 3: The stats say and the results say that he was
5:03
Speaker 3: middle of the pack average yesterday. But there were a
5:05
Speaker 3: couple of moments. Remember when Jarion Jones knocked the ball
5:09
Speaker 3: away at the end of the third quarter and the
5:11
Speaker 3: Jaguars had it right there at their own forty two
5:14
Speaker 3: yard line with a minute twenty nine to play in
5:16
Speaker 3: the third. Okay, here's your moment, right, here's a chance
5:19
Speaker 3: for you to go and essentially put the game away.
5:21
Speaker 3: I thought if you went up twenty nine to ten,
5:25
Speaker 3: not that I knew they were going to miss the
5:26
Speaker 3: two point conversion, but I thought another touchdown would have
5:28
Speaker 3: done it, and he did it. And on that drive
5:31
Speaker 3: he was under intense pressure and he got outside the
5:33
Speaker 3: pocket and he threw the ball to Johnny Munt, who
5:35
Speaker 3: made a play. Johnny Munt, the third tight end who's
5:38
Speaker 3: been unimpressive this season. Then a little bit later on
5:41
Speaker 3: that drive, he threw an absolute beautiful strike to Austin
5:44
Speaker 3: Trammel at the sixteen yard line, which helped set up
5:48
Speaker 3: the touchdown run. He made some plays to give his
5:51
Speaker 3: team a chance to win the game. And then as
5:54
Speaker 3: you just mentioned there is with a strike to Parker
5:57
Speaker 3: Washington that sets up a sixty one yard field goal
6:00
Speaker 3: attempt to win the ball game. By the way, that's
6:03
Speaker 3: in your kickers range. He did enough at the end
6:07
Speaker 3: to find a way to win the game. Was he perfect?
6:09
Speaker 5: No?
6:10
Speaker 3: Was he better than average? Probably not? But it wasn't
6:13
Speaker 3: all on Trevor Lawrence.
6:15
Speaker 6: No.
6:15
Speaker 1: I think that I'll get bet my hot take today,
6:17
Speaker 1: but plenty of blame here. Our final big thing today
6:20
Speaker 1: is gonna be two and three. If there's one player
6:22
Speaker 1: that can probably go to sleep last night and know
6:24
Speaker 1: they played well, that's Parker Washington had two touchdowns on
6:28
Speaker 1: the day. He had a punt return for touchdown. That's
6:30
Speaker 1: his third career punt return touchdown, and talked a little
6:33
Speaker 1: bit about what he saw on that second touchdown.
6:36
Speaker 7: The very first punt return, I was upset that I
6:39
Speaker 7: got tackled cause that debsoutely a big one too, So
6:43
Speaker 7: we got another opportunity. I caught it. I just saw
6:46
Speaker 7: a whole bunch of guys and I was like, let's
6:48
Speaker 7: make a miss, Let's make a mom mixtend out for
6:51
Speaker 7: the funner. And it was cool to make a play,
6:53
Speaker 7: but like, we fell short, but we're gonna come back
6:57
Speaker 7: and respond.
6:57
Speaker 1: To Brian, I shut her to think what that game
7:00
Speaker 1: would have looked like without Parker Washington in it, because
7:02
Speaker 1: he was most, if not all, of the bright spots
7:05
Speaker 1: in that game. And after a tremendous training camp from
7:08
Speaker 1: what we saw from him, to come and now actually
7:10
Speaker 1: have this time to shine it.
7:11
Speaker 6: I'm thankful for him for sure.
7:12
Speaker 3: You know, I shud here to think about what this
7:15
Speaker 3: season might look like without Parker Washington. Yeah, I know
7:17
Speaker 3: he had the drops in Los Angeles, partner in London
7:20
Speaker 3: against Los Angeles. I've covered every game this team has
7:23
Speaker 3: ever played. He is the best punt returner that this
7:25
Speaker 3: team has ever had, by the way. The numbers back
7:27
Speaker 3: that up. He's got two in a single season, which
7:29
Speaker 3: is a Jaguars record. He's got three now for his career,
7:32
Speaker 3: which breaks the record that he held with Reggie Barlow.
7:34
Speaker 3: But he just has that pension for delivering a big
7:38
Speaker 3: play when this team needs it, whether you're asking him
7:40
Speaker 3: to catch a ball over a much taller corner and
7:43
Speaker 3: get his feet down in the back of the end zone,
7:45
Speaker 3: or to make a play on special teams when you
7:48
Speaker 3: need to flip the field and flip momentum. And he's
7:50
Speaker 3: done it. By the way, he should have three this season.
7:53
Speaker 3: There was one callback on a penalty in that game
7:56
Speaker 3: against London, and I'm going to guess that he's going
7:59
Speaker 3: to have another opportunit unity to do that this year
8:01
Speaker 3: and to maybe get his third.
8:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been remarkable. I mean it. He he comes
8:06
Speaker 4: into training camp as the fourth receiver Ota has forgotten,
8:09
Speaker 4: and then you guys were out there every practice You're like,
8:14
Speaker 4: it need the best way, it need the best wide
8:16
Speaker 4: receiver on the field, and like, no, I can't be
8:18
Speaker 4: Parker watching it's gotta be Brian tim STEENM it's gotta
8:19
Speaker 4: be you know, and well and the hole gets into
8:22
Speaker 4: the season and he's still the best. The shame of
8:24
Speaker 4: it is Parker Washington. When you built this team, Parker
8:29
Speaker 4: Washington is supposed to be one of three or four
8:31
Speaker 4: guys on it. He was supposed to be the guy
8:34
Speaker 4: who came out of nowhere and complimented a lot of
8:36
Speaker 4: other things. Uh, right now he's the guy, and you
8:40
Speaker 4: need a couple more.
8:41
Speaker 6: Guys, need some more guys.
8:43
Speaker 1: So Sarah on Jack Zam, we're gonna go over the
8:44
Speaker 1: tape from yesterday's loss against the Texas.

9:06
Speaker 6: Zip Chair is furniture for fans.
9:09
Speaker 1: Welcome back into Jags day and today a frustrating one,
9:12
Speaker 1: to say the least in Houston yesterday. We're gonna look
9:15
Speaker 1: at some of the video. Start out early because things
9:18
Speaker 1: were decent at this point. Yeah, for staff stuff, because
9:22
Speaker 1: you got to you had a couple plays. I'll say
9:25
Speaker 1: Jarian's interception incredible read risky of course, but comes through
9:29
Speaker 1: and gets the interception, So commend him for that. But
9:32
Speaker 1: then also the special teams play where the Texans fumble
9:35
Speaker 1: the kickoff and two things going your way that early.
9:39
Speaker 1: That's not something we always see, and you feel like
9:41
Speaker 1: that's good omen for.
9:42
Speaker 3: The day, right for a team that needed this lift.
9:45
Speaker 3: Jerry and Jones gave it to them early. I mean
9:47
Speaker 3: that the smoke was on these guys who were going
9:50
Speaker 3: to be on the field in place of Jordan Lewis,
9:52
Speaker 3: and I thought that was a great sign. And by
9:54
Speaker 3: the way, he played a really good game. I thought,
9:56
Speaker 3: you know, the break up, the pass breakup at the
9:58
Speaker 3: end of the third quarter, and then the row down
10:00
Speaker 3: to Christian Kirk. I thought Jerry and Jones played maybe
10:03
Speaker 3: his best game.
10:04
Speaker 4: I was uber impressed with Jarion Jones. Hopefully for his sake,
10:08
Speaker 4: this is what he's going to be. And look early
10:14
Speaker 4: it felt like they were doing they needed to take
10:17
Speaker 4: more advantage of some of the breaks they got early
10:20
Speaker 4: to get more up. But it felt, to liams Cohen's credit,
10:24
Speaker 4: it felt like a game where you're gonna have to
10:25
Speaker 4: sort of stack points, get up and then sort of
10:28
Speaker 4: hold on. You thought you could do it against this
10:30
Speaker 4: kind of Texans offense. When you get a ten to
10:32
Speaker 4: nothing lead, seventeen to nothing lead, you feel like you've
10:36
Speaker 4: gotten yourself in a game situation where it's gonna work.
10:39
Speaker 4: And they got some gifts early. You know it was
10:43
Speaker 4: shaping up.
10:44
Speaker 3: That was a great play by Ventre Miller ye to
10:46
Speaker 3: force that.
10:46
Speaker 1: Yep, that's true out coming up with it for sure
10:48
Speaker 1: on special teams. Both of those were huge plays and
10:52
Speaker 1: our two highlights of the day. I separate them because
10:54
Speaker 1: you know, we need double dose of Parker. But the
10:55
Speaker 1: first touchdown from Parker with the toe tap in the
10:58
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. Then I had to watch
11:00
Speaker 1: couple times because he had black sneakers on. He's gonna
11:02
Speaker 1: wear brighter color shoes, I think. But it's tremendous. I mean, John,
11:06
Speaker 1: we've talked about him being mister Reliable now for this team,
11:09
Speaker 1: and he's proving it to be true.
11:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he sort of belies what you think. When
11:14
Speaker 4: you watch him in practice, you think, oh, this is
11:16
Speaker 4: a slot guy. This is like Christian Kirk part two.
11:19
Speaker 5: Right.
11:19
Speaker 4: That was always his comparison because he was following Christian.
11:23
Speaker 4: But then he he's spectacular when he gets it. He's
11:27
Speaker 4: not just like a little slot receiver run around the
11:29
Speaker 4: middle of the field. He's made high point the ball
11:33
Speaker 4: in traffic as spectacular catches. This kid's really good.
11:36
Speaker 3: Go back to his rookie season, the Cleveland game, the
11:38
Speaker 3: second half especially. They lost that game, but he made
11:41
Speaker 3: a couple of clutch catches where he had to elevate
11:43
Speaker 3: and you weren't sure that a five foot nine wide
11:45
Speaker 3: receiver could get up that high to make plays. He
11:47
Speaker 3: has consistently made plays anytime they've asked him, whether it's
11:51
Speaker 3: on offense or on special teams. He's just a really
11:53
Speaker 3: good football play.
11:54
Speaker 4: He's really good.
11:56
Speaker 1: To take a look at the punt return because Brian
11:59
Speaker 1: you mentioned he's impressive, probably the best you've seen in
12:02
Speaker 1: Jaguar's history, but also just he just when he goes
12:05
Speaker 1: with it, when he just kind of.
12:07
Speaker 6: Goes with his first instincts. This is what we see
12:09
Speaker 6: half the time well, and I.
12:10
Speaker 3: Love the way that he sets this one up. You
12:12
Speaker 3: know he made that move at the outside and then
12:14
Speaker 3: cut back across the grid. Watch him lift his hand
12:16
Speaker 3: here near the forty five yard like he knew he
12:18
Speaker 3: was gonna score. He is, he's a supremely confident athlete.
12:22
Speaker 3: Now I'd like to see him run across the goal line.
12:23
Speaker 3: I say, I don't think I did not like that
12:26
Speaker 3: part of it at all, get across the goal line.
12:29
Speaker 3: But other than that, I mean, we're gonna get another
12:30
Speaker 3: look at his little movie with the outside of the
12:31
Speaker 3: little stutter step. He's just he's really impressive, really impressive
12:36
Speaker 3: with the ball in his hands.
12:37
Speaker 4: Well he sometimes I get emails from fans when he's
12:43
Speaker 4: returning kicks. Why does any just go? You know, like
12:46
Speaker 4: sometimes he sort of, but he's in punt returning is
12:51
Speaker 4: a different beast than kick returning. Kick Connie, you just
12:53
Speaker 4: get Parker has really good upon return. A long time ago,
12:59
Speaker 4: he told me the key is patience. If it was
13:01
Speaker 4: set up your box. He's a very patient returner, and
13:05
Speaker 4: he can see it. He's got point guard type vision
13:08
Speaker 4: back there when he's returning kicks. And you'll find a
13:11
Speaker 4: lane every couple games.
13:12
Speaker 3: Well, listen that you just set it up. He set
13:14
Speaker 3: them up. He saw them flowing to that side of
13:17
Speaker 3: the field, and he saw the cutback lane. But even
13:20
Speaker 3: when you see it, not everybody has the quickness to
13:22
Speaker 3: be able to turn and get back to it. I mean,
13:24
Speaker 3: Maurice Jones. Drew is the other guy who is a
13:26
Speaker 3: great return again a diminutive guy, but had really good
13:30
Speaker 3: feet and the ability to cut it back. When I
13:32
Speaker 3: watch him cut it back, it reminds me of moretos.
13:35
Speaker 6: Hi Craze there.
13:36
Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's uh, we're gonna condense some of the pain
13:39
Speaker 1: from the fourth into just one or two pieces of
13:41
Speaker 1: video here.
13:42
Speaker 4: But three pain I ripped the band aid off yet three.
13:44
Speaker 1: Touchdowns in a row here, the defense just Davis Mills
13:48
Speaker 1: of all people to be kind of putting this all together.
13:51
Speaker 1: We know the secondary's been struggling for you know, with injuries,
13:56
Speaker 1: so Jarring Jones stepping up great, but the safety has
13:59
Speaker 1: been with a lot Antonio Brown and excuse me, Antonio
14:04
Speaker 1: Johnson and Dewy Winger struggling in the middle there. And
14:07
Speaker 1: then on that last Davis Mills rushing touchdown, it just
14:11
Speaker 1: feels like people were not in the right place on
14:13
Speaker 1: that one.
14:13
Speaker 4: Well it there's what sixty seventy five quarterbacks in the NFL, right,
14:22
Speaker 4: the seventy fifth can beat you if you don't pressure him.
14:25
Speaker 4: They can all throw and you have to pressure backup
14:28
Speaker 4: quarterbacks into mistakes and then they'll throw you. The ball
14:31
Speaker 4: every couple series. They didn't pressu him in any mistakes
14:34
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter.
14:35
Speaker 3: Well, and then they got him on the run, but
14:36
Speaker 3: everybody's back was to him. That was the most frustrating
14:41
Speaker 3: play of the game at Davis Mills, who's a statue
14:43
Speaker 3: compared to C. J. Stroud was basically given a lane yep.
14:47
Speaker 1: And they had a couple of penalties too, and back
14:49
Speaker 1: themselves up. Then all of that and then Drag's final drive.
14:53
Speaker 1: They have it with thirty seconds left and there's a
14:55
Speaker 1: couple aspects to this right, so they're gonna have to
14:59
Speaker 1: throw it right the offensive line immediately. Just the pass
15:03
Speaker 1: rush from the Texans is on Trevor immediately, you get
15:06
Speaker 1: this great throat to Park of Washington to kind of
15:08
Speaker 1: get him in range as mentioned, and there's a penalty
15:11
Speaker 1: on Chium Minidoga. And then the final play of the
15:13
Speaker 1: game again people are on him immediately. He's not gonna
15:16
Speaker 1: be able to throw it anywhere at that point and
15:18
Speaker 1: get out of bounds. So it didn't really matter it played, didn't.
15:20
Speaker 4: Matter, but the one they got called back on the
15:25
Speaker 4: penalty on Adoga. This I was complaining before the game
15:30
Speaker 4: as a matter of fact, that the NFL has made
15:33
Speaker 4: two minute or these final drives. To me, it happens
15:39
Speaker 4: a little too often these days, and I'm the old
15:42
Speaker 4: man here. But they got themselves in that situation. They
15:46
Speaker 4: made the play with thirty seconds left. If you could
15:50
Speaker 4: have said to any fan, hey, you can get a
15:51
Speaker 4: sixty one yarder with Cam Little, you would have taken
15:55
Speaker 4: it at that point. They got in that situation. And
15:58
Speaker 4: you know, again, the penalties have this team all year,
16:01
Speaker 4: penalties in the big moments. If that play doesn't happen,
16:04
Speaker 4: we're talking about a hero is.
16:05
Speaker 3: Can I just point out kind of problem at left
16:07
Speaker 3: tackle right now? I mean it was very obvious in
16:10
Speaker 3: recent weeks, the Seahawks game, the Rams game, and now here.
16:14
Speaker 3: It's going to be an area of the Jaguars half
16:15
Speaker 3: to your quarterback. If you want him, especially in two
16:18
Speaker 3: minute situations, to be able to lead your team down
16:21
Speaker 3: the field, he can't have a guy at his feed.
16:24
Speaker 3: He just can't. You've got to figure out what's going
16:26
Speaker 3: on at left tackle. And maybe Brenton Stranger's return this
16:28
Speaker 3: week helps Walker a little over there, but that looks
16:31
Speaker 3: like a real weak spot on the offensive line right now.
16:33
Speaker 1: You have to hope so because also every single week
16:35
Speaker 1: they're going to be going up against the best pass
16:36
Speaker 1: rusher in the league.
16:37
Speaker 3: That's not going away. They're going to see some really
16:39
Speaker 3: good pass rushers and the quarterback has no chance unless
16:42
Speaker 3: they solve that issue.
16:43
Speaker 1: All right, coming up after the break, we're gonna give
16:45
Speaker 1: you our hot takes about yesterday's game and going forward.
16:52
Speaker 6: Welcome back to jag Jay.
16:53
Speaker 1: I'm brought to you by Firehouse Subs today specifically bringing you.
16:56
Speaker 6: Our hot takes. Alright, it was a tough one.
17:01
Speaker 1: You guys are a little more forward thinking than I am.
17:03
Speaker 1: Maybe I should go first. Actually, now I'm thinking about
17:06
Speaker 1: this cause mine's a little more reactionary, and I think
17:08
Speaker 1: people might resonate with a little cause I still got
17:11
Speaker 1: smoke for everybody today. Mine is that there's plenty of
17:15
Speaker 1: blame to go around, because I know I've seeing twitter
17:20
Speaker 1: s s feels like it's split right, it's the defense
17:22
Speaker 1: blew the game, and then it's everything is Trevor's fault.
17:24
Speaker 6: How about it's both of their falls.
17:26
Speaker 1: The defense couldn't get a stop Trevor Lawrence and the
17:28
Speaker 1: offense couldn't get a first down.
17:30
Speaker 6: Did he do enough?
17:30
Speaker 1: At the very very end maybe, but then there's penalties
17:33
Speaker 1: to go around. The offensive line was terrible. Trevor was
17:35
Speaker 1: pressured pretty much all day. I think some of the
17:38
Speaker 1: play calling in the second half could have run it
17:40
Speaker 1: a little bit.
17:41
Speaker 6: On that one play when you couldn't.
17:42
Speaker 1: Get a first down, it was to think third and
17:44
Speaker 1: three or third and four. There's an option to do
17:47
Speaker 1: that there, especially when you're having trouble getting things going
17:49
Speaker 1: in the passing game. At points other than Parker Washington,
17:52
Speaker 1: I think everybody takes.
17:53
Speaker 6: A little bit of blame in this. We didn't see
17:55
Speaker 6: the special team.
17:56
Speaker 1: Slipping the field the way we normally do, as well
17:58
Speaker 1: with with Logan Cook. I think on defense there was
18:01
Speaker 1: no pass rush. There's a lot there's a lot of things.
18:04
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let it go after today, but mondays, when
18:06
Speaker 1: we go back and look at the film, I think
18:08
Speaker 1: there's a lot of not finger pointing in the sense
18:10
Speaker 1: of you you, you, But I think we all need
18:12
Speaker 1: to look a little inward and say that everybody should
18:14
Speaker 1: have been better yesterday and going forward. I think they
18:17
Speaker 1: can do that, But when you keep looking at yourself
18:19
Speaker 1: as the reason you're losing a game, you have to
18:22
Speaker 1: kind of man up and fix it at some point.
18:23
Speaker 3: You feel better now a little bit?
18:25
Speaker 6: All right, John, you're next.
18:28
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I went a little more forward because when
18:34
Speaker 4: I was sitting and listening to Liam Cone in the
18:36
Speaker 4: press conference, you know, it was a tough press reform
18:42
Speaker 4: because you're deflated, right, and he is such an up
18:47
Speaker 4: guy and he's done such a great job of holding
18:49
Speaker 4: this thing together in the belief. So I think this
18:51
Speaker 4: is gonna be as tough ast test yet. And he said, hey,
18:54
Speaker 4: we got to move forward. That was his message of
18:56
Speaker 4: the team he started right after the game. I think
18:58
Speaker 4: he'll pass it. I mean, I think he's really good
19:01
Speaker 4: with these guys and really good at setting the message
19:03
Speaker 4: and getting these guys ready. But you know, the difference
19:07
Speaker 4: between six and three and five and four is big,
19:10
Speaker 4: and you know they were right in it, and now
19:13
Speaker 4: five and four there's a lot more trees you have
19:15
Speaker 4: to navigate in the force. And then this was a
19:18
Speaker 4: gut punch yesterday. I mean, we talked about the Titans
19:21
Speaker 4: game at the end of twenty three being such a
19:22
Speaker 4: gut punch. This doesn't match that because that end of
19:25
Speaker 4: the season. But you're you know, you've got I had
19:30
Speaker 4: a story written everybody did, and now all of a sudden,
19:34
Speaker 4: you're you know, punched back and I get a step
19:38
Speaker 4: forward against the Chargers team. If you lose that, you're
19:40
Speaker 4: four to the last five and then the noise. So
19:42
Speaker 4: this is a this is the biggest test yet.
19:45
Speaker 3: Yeah it is. And if I'm excited for anything, I'm
19:47
Speaker 3: excited to see how Liam Cohen handles it.
19:49
Speaker 5: Right.
19:50
Speaker 3: I think all of us have been impressed with him.
19:51
Speaker 3: Oh and the way that he coaches this team. So
19:54
Speaker 3: I'm kind of a growth mindset guy. The obstacle is
19:57
Speaker 3: the opportunity, and I really think it's an opportunity for
20:00
Speaker 3: this coach this week to drive his team where other
20:03
Speaker 3: Jaguars teams could not be driven through this. I mean,
20:06
Speaker 3: this go feel like a hangover this morning when these
20:08
Speaker 3: guys come back in a really bad one and he's
20:11
Speaker 3: got to get them through that today because if this
20:13
Speaker 3: thing lingers much past tomorrow, then you have a chance
20:17
Speaker 3: of letting the Texans beat you twice, right, and you
20:19
Speaker 3: can't have that. So I'll go because I'm I'm gonna
20:23
Speaker 3: be the ray of sunshine here.
20:24
Speaker 6: I heard the optimist.
20:25
Speaker 3: Well it's just my natural personality anyway, But I listen
20:30
Speaker 3: with a nod to a gentleman that you knew Jim
20:31
Speaker 3: mood playoffs, playoffs. Yeah, despite the way that yesterday happened
20:37
Speaker 3: and it sucked, the reality of it is is that
20:39
Speaker 3: the Jaguars are right where they If we had heard
20:42
Speaker 3: five and four right early on in the number seven
20:46
Speaker 3: spot at the midway point of the season, every one
20:48
Speaker 3: of us would have taken it, because we know what
20:49
Speaker 3: this is now. I'm not excusing yesterday, and I know
20:52
Speaker 3: what happened yesterday. But the Jaguars have eight games left.
20:55
Speaker 3: They have four games against teams with playoff caliber football
20:59
Speaker 3: teams two against the Cold the Chargers this week and
21:01
Speaker 3: one against the Broncos, and four against teams that are
21:04
Speaker 3: just finishing out their season two against the Titans, the Cardinals,
21:07
Speaker 3: and the Jets. Four of those games, pardon me, two
21:12
Speaker 3: of each of those categories, playoff and non playoff are
21:14
Speaker 3: at home, so you have a distinct opportunity. I thought
21:18
Speaker 3: this was a nine win team. You can get to
21:21
Speaker 3: nine by just winning the games against the teams that
21:23
Speaker 3: you should now go steal one, right, beat the Chargers
21:26
Speaker 3: here at home, find a way to take one from
21:28
Speaker 3: the Colts, which you think you should be able to do.
21:31
Speaker 3: It's a division matchup. Figure a way to steal one,
21:34
Speaker 3: you win ten. And when you look at the playoff
21:37
Speaker 3: picture right now, right, the Jaguars, it think won yesterday,
21:40
Speaker 3: they would have been ahead of the Bills.
21:42
Speaker 6: Bill's talking me back in so listen.
21:44
Speaker 3: The Bills got hammered. The Bills got hammered yesterday by
21:48
Speaker 3: the Dolphins in South Florida. There's a lot that can
21:51
Speaker 3: happen over the final eight games of the season. And
21:53
Speaker 3: a little bit more optimism. You're gonna get Brenton Strange back, right,
21:56
Speaker 3: You're gonna get Brian Thomas Junior back. And since I'm
21:59
Speaker 3: being optimistic, I'm going to say that he's going to
22:01
Speaker 3: turn it on and start playing better football. You're gonna
22:04
Speaker 3: get some pieces back, win the games that you should win,
22:07
Speaker 3: Steal one, just one, and you're a playoff team. The
22:11
Speaker 3: playoffs very much in the forefront for this football team.
22:14
Speaker 3: Do they have to get through this week? Yes, The
22:18
Speaker 3: next two days is going to be tough. Absolutely. I
22:20
Speaker 3: believe in this coach and I think he can get
22:22
Speaker 3: his team there.
22:23
Speaker 6: Swilight go last. Feel better about this now, right, let's
22:25
Speaker 6: go start it out a little hot. But now.
22:28
Speaker 1: Say listen a world more break. We'll come back tell
22:30
Speaker 1: you what's coming up the rest of the week. Jag

Speaker 1: dot com slash Jaguars. All right, so we're back here,
22:58
Speaker 1: we've moved on. Brian gave us a pep time. Brent's
23:01
Speaker 1: range is back this week.
23:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's good news.
23:03
Speaker 3: That's a great reason to smile.
23:05
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
23:06
Speaker 1: I mean he we've talked about him obviously endlessly, but
23:10
Speaker 1: an offensive target for Trevor and he helps with this
23:13
Speaker 1: line that is closely struggling right now.
23:14
Speaker 4: Well, he's he's been crucial to the run game, giving
23:20
Speaker 4: him probably fifteen twenty yards a game somewhere. That's you
23:23
Speaker 4: don't think about. And before he got hurt, he was
23:27
Speaker 4: Trevor's go to receiver on third down and probably twice
23:30
Speaker 4: a game if you go back and to think about
23:31
Speaker 4: those games. Twice a game, Trevor sort of went instinctively
23:35
Speaker 4: to him for a third down conversion. Two third down
23:39
Speaker 4: conversions in games or big deals.
23:41
Speaker 3: If you've got one of those fourth quarter, yes today,
23:43
Speaker 3: maybe you win. He matters. By the way, I was
23:46
Speaker 3: watching him in the practice field last week as he
23:48
Speaker 3: was working his way back, and by the way, this
23:50
Speaker 3: is the week that the practice window could be opened.
23:53
Speaker 3: He's so big and explosive. Now he's not six foot
23:56
Speaker 3: six like some tight ends around you're a bin, but
23:58
Speaker 3: he's just this big, one wide, strong body. And I
24:01
Speaker 3: was watching him explode. You know. They were just doing
24:04
Speaker 3: this drill, and I thought, man, did they need that?
24:06
Speaker 3: They gotta have that.
24:08
Speaker 1: They need him back, and he will be ready to
24:10
Speaker 1: go when they do make him available, so hopefully sooner
24:12
Speaker 1: than later. Alright, So with this one today, we'll be
24:15
Speaker 1: back on Wednesday as we look forward to the Jaguars
24:19
Speaker 1: game against the Chargers.
24:20
Speaker 6: Enjoy the week,
