Speaker 1: week all besty fest festing. It's gonna be a what
0:58
Speaker 1: a four quarter football game? Okay? And it went to
1:01
Speaker 1: the four quarters, right and they always will offense. Great job,
1:05
Speaker 1: great job, and the defense gave us a ball. You
1:07
Speaker 1: can't capitalize it getting points out of it, whether it
1:09
Speaker 1: was touchdown field goals. Great job right there. Proud of
1:12
Speaker 1: you guys, say you might, they might knock his down,
1:14
Speaker 1: but we're getting right back up off the matter. And
1:16
Speaker 1: we got listen, learned from this because we've got to
1:19
Speaker 1: do the same thing this week in practice. The emotion,
1:23
Speaker 1: the sense of urgency, how we start all that but
1:25
Speaker 1: in our place. Yeah, I love each number one on
1:29
Speaker 1: this room. Proud of what we did today. Man, let's
1:31
Speaker 1: stack another one this week. Family, Good morning, and welcome
1:42
Speaker 1: to Jacks Drive Time, presented on a Monday from t
1:45
Speaker 1: I A bank Field by Car Shield. I'm Brian Sexton
1:48
Speaker 1: along with John Osier, and you could say the stars
1:52
Speaker 1: shoone brightly in Tennessee yesterday. But John The truth is
1:56
Speaker 1: a star showing brighter than all the others. And it's
2:00
Speaker 1: not to make to the Christmas references here, but it's
2:03
Speaker 1: what all the Jaguars fans are focused on today. Trevor
2:05
Speaker 1: Lawrence was brilliant. It wasn't a Christmas reference at all. Star.
2:10
Speaker 1: Oh that's star, Okay. It wasn't the whole Sanda secular
2:15
Speaker 1: what you're going with, elf Um, Look, it's not overblowing
2:21
Speaker 1: it to say, this is what this franchise has waited
2:26
Speaker 1: for for almost three decades. And uh A a quarterback
2:31
Speaker 1: who can do what he did yesterday. He's at it
2:34
Speaker 1: twice in the last three games now. And I think
2:37
Speaker 1: for fans, as cool as the Baltimore moment was, and
2:40
Speaker 1: it was cool for the hardcore fans of this team
2:44
Speaker 1: for him to do that up there against Tennessee in
2:47
Speaker 1: a game that, frankly, for the first quarter ish felt
2:51
Speaker 1: like a normal Tennessee game. It felt like O Titans. Yeah,
2:55
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry was running. They really couldn't stop and get
2:57
Speaker 1: up the field. Then all of a sudden, you know,
2:59
Speaker 1: but it just goes to show you in this league.
3:03
Speaker 1: I thought the defense continued to play hard. I don't
3:07
Speaker 1: think the defense is great, but it continued to play
3:09
Speaker 1: hard and give effort every play, and when players were there,
3:12
Speaker 1: they made him. Those plays turned the game. And then
3:14
Speaker 1: Trevor just you know again, showed a different gear five
3:18
Speaker 1: weeks now. This is what it looks like when a
3:23
Speaker 1: kid starts to get it and he's going to be
3:25
Speaker 1: a superstar. All Right, we got a lot to cover
3:27
Speaker 1: in big things. But before we do, we have been
3:29
Speaker 1: talking on this show since before the season about what
3:33
Speaker 1: the Jaguars were gonna be in you know what was
3:36
Speaker 1: a reasonable expectation, and I think all of us said
3:40
Speaker 1: just being the hunt around Thanksgiving. So last night and
3:43
Speaker 1: not I'm sitting watching Sunday Night Football and this pops
3:48
Speaker 1: up right and you can see on the lower left
3:52
Speaker 1: hand side it is the Jaguars logo in the playoff hunt.
3:56
Speaker 1: Forget how far they go for a moment, and just
4:00
Speaker 1: consider that meaningful football. Not after Thanksgiving, John, two weeks
4:04
Speaker 1: before Christmas. A week before Christmas, you've got the Cowboys
4:08
Speaker 1: in a huge game for this franchise. I mean, you've
4:11
Speaker 1: got two games coming up in the next twelve days,
4:13
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you this is fun. Well, you're
4:17
Speaker 1: gonna have naysayers out there, and you know what they
4:19
Speaker 1: sayers say, Brian nay um and say, well they're five
4:24
Speaker 1: and eight the this, that. But but if you think
4:28
Speaker 1: about it in the small picture, what they're doing, Um,
4:34
Speaker 1: they have played their way into the hunt with two
4:38
Speaker 1: victories over division leaders in the last three weeks. So
4:42
Speaker 1: uh yes, as as I mean Trevors said yesterday they
4:48
Speaker 1: threw away a lot of opportunities and all that, but
4:50
Speaker 1: right now they are playing well enough to get themselves
4:53
Speaker 1: into the picture. Um, huge challenge this week, So let's
4:57
Speaker 1: roll right into big things and we'll talk about a
5:00
Speaker 1: sout statement. The Jaguars find themselves two and two in
5:02
Speaker 1: the South now with two games to play, and yesterday
5:06
Speaker 1: to win the ball game in Nashville where they hadn't won. Well, Um,
5:13
Speaker 1: I told the Titans you may be on top for
5:15
Speaker 1: the moment, but we're coming. Obviously, these games are huge
5:23
Speaker 1: if we want to give ourselves a shot at the postseason.
5:26
Speaker 1: And um, I think this is you know, you can't
5:28
Speaker 1: win whatever five of them till you win one, like
5:30
Speaker 1: I said after you know the Ravens games, So same mindset.
5:34
Speaker 1: We still you know, believe everything is in front of us. Um,
5:36
Speaker 1: this is a great star at great momentum. And but
5:38
Speaker 1: again going back to you know, big win over Baltimore
5:42
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, didn't play well last week,
5:44
Speaker 1: So how do we take this this momentum, use it
5:48
Speaker 1: to fuel us have a great week of practice again.
5:50
Speaker 1: You know, I thought we attacked every day in practice
5:52
Speaker 1: and the guys were really locked in and you could
5:54
Speaker 1: tell our preparations was really good this week. So we
5:57
Speaker 1: gotta do that every week, um, And I think that's
5:59
Speaker 1: where this team is growing, and you see us starting
6:01
Speaker 1: to stack more games like this and it's just fun
6:03
Speaker 1: to be a part of big thing too. We talked
6:05
Speaker 1: about the stars shining, and obviously he was the brightest.
6:09
Speaker 1: But you had that big sack strip bumble that got
6:12
Speaker 1: the Jaguars going from Trayvon Walker. You had a career
6:15
Speaker 1: day from Evan Ingram. We saw a huge play from
6:20
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to squeeze out and end any threat from
6:23
Speaker 1: the Titans of making it any closer. There were big
6:25
Speaker 1: plays from everybody all over the field on both sides
6:29
Speaker 1: of the ball. Of course, the quarterback, though, is the
6:31
Speaker 1: guy that had the head coach's attention. He's been able
6:34
Speaker 1: to handle everything and now he's battling you know, the
6:36
Speaker 1: injury this week. Um, and to put the team sort
6:39
Speaker 1: of his back like he did again today just shows
6:41
Speaker 1: a type of player and person that he is and
6:44
Speaker 1: how tough he is. Um, he's the right leader, you
6:47
Speaker 1: know for us, and UM, you know, we're excited to
6:49
Speaker 1: have him as our quarterback. And and UM, he can
6:52
Speaker 1: only get he can only get better, you know. And
6:54
Speaker 1: and that's the UM, I think that's the one thing
6:57
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm most encouraged about. It's just just
7:00
Speaker 1: how much more we can we can pour into him.
7:02
Speaker 1: And and uh, you know, as he leads this team.
7:06
Speaker 1: And finally on big thing four plus four, the Jaguars bent.
7:10
Speaker 1: They bent on the opening drive, especially at third and
7:12
Speaker 1: ten play. Everyone was scratching their head when Trayvon Walker
7:15
Speaker 1: jumps off sides and thinking, boy, are they gonna go
7:17
Speaker 1: down to score? Make it nine consecutive meaningful drives for
7:21
Speaker 1: their opponent. Yeah, they did. But then the defense stepped
7:24
Speaker 1: up with Walker's huge play, and of course do we
7:27
Speaker 1: got the interception Shack Corterman came up with the huge hit.
7:30
Speaker 1: The defense bent all over the field, but they didn't break.
7:34
Speaker 1: They broke the Titans. I mean, you just never settle man.
7:38
Speaker 1: We have been. Don't break defense man. We can't. We
7:40
Speaker 1: can't let us. You know, if some happens, you know,
7:42
Speaker 1: don't foe do we can trade? Can was around the ball?
7:48
Speaker 1: Do you run to the ball? When you run a ball?
7:50
Speaker 1: Muball happen, good things happening. So we gotta keep it on.
7:54
Speaker 1: And there you have it, John, where you want to
7:56
Speaker 1: start in big things? Well, I thought Josh said it. Well,
8:00
Speaker 1: then don't fold and it's same thing, Ben, don't break
8:04
Speaker 1: the whole thing? Um again? Had this? There was so
8:10
Speaker 1: much talk last week. I got so many emails in
8:14
Speaker 1: the ozone about well the Lions game for you fourteen,
8:17
Speaker 1: this is when this team quits the same old Jaguars, etcetera.
8:20
Speaker 1: And it could have. I mean, we've seen this team
8:23
Speaker 1: go up to Tennessee a lot in December, get run
8:27
Speaker 1: on by Derrick Henry, and in the second half, you
8:30
Speaker 1: know what happens. They keep getting run on by Derrick
8:32
Speaker 1: Henry and it gets cold, and it's gray and and
8:36
Speaker 1: it's cruddy, and the Bold City Brigade people who are
8:38
Speaker 1: up there are sort of walking out and they're going
8:40
Speaker 1: to Broadway early. That's what it felt like, and they
8:44
Speaker 1: didn't do that. And I think that speaks to if
8:49
Speaker 1: you don't think this team believes in this coach, in
8:51
Speaker 1: this direction, etcetera, etcetera. They showed it yesterday and they
8:56
Speaker 1: got the payoff. Derrick Henry had fourteen carries for a
9:01
Speaker 1: hundred nineteen yards at halftime and you're thinking, you know,
9:03
Speaker 1: this could be a two hundred yard game, right and
9:05
Speaker 1: then the second half he had three carries for two yards.
9:08
Speaker 1: It was he was, although he had to catch on
9:11
Speaker 1: that last drive. He was a non factor in the
9:14
Speaker 1: second half of the Jaguars game for the first time
9:17
Speaker 1: that I can remember since he was drafted by the Titans,
9:19
Speaker 1: and sometimes it had you know, I talk about complimentary football,
9:22
Speaker 1: and that sort of felt like that. Had the Titans
9:26
Speaker 1: been up, I have no doubt he'd continue to be
9:29
Speaker 1: a factor. But the offense helped out the defense and
9:33
Speaker 1: as a team they played their way into the situation
9:36
Speaker 1: where he couldn't be a factor, meaning they got ahead.
9:39
Speaker 1: Uh so where they stout against him all day? I
9:44
Speaker 1: don't know. No, he only had two three rushing, but
9:47
Speaker 1: they took him out of a game and didn't allow
9:50
Speaker 1: him to become a factor. Sometimes it's a team game
9:52
Speaker 1: and not just one element of it. All. Right, let's
9:54
Speaker 1: take a look at the south standings just to kind
9:55
Speaker 1: of give you a little perspective on where we stand.
9:57
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are obviously behind the Titans in terms of record,
10:01
Speaker 1: but you look, they're ahead of the Colts and they've
10:05
Speaker 1: got an opportunity because here's what's left and so many
10:09
Speaker 1: times a year, but you just want to go, this
10:10
Speaker 1: team shouldn't be talking about playoffs, but we are at
10:13
Speaker 1: this point because here's the remaining schedule for the Tennessee Titans. Right,
10:17
Speaker 1: you see what's possible in this next slide with the Jaguars,
10:26
Speaker 1: I guess we're not gonna see um go in head first. Well,
10:29
Speaker 1: the Chargers are are are in l A for the
10:31
Speaker 1: Titans the next week. Then they have the Texans the
10:33
Speaker 1: Cowboys and they finish here, right, and the Jaguars obviously
10:37
Speaker 1: you know it's Cowboys, Jets, Texans, Titans. Well it gets
10:41
Speaker 1: sort of crazy. But all you need to know is
10:45
Speaker 1: if the jam was doing the rest of their games
10:47
Speaker 1: and the Titans lose one to a team other than
10:50
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, um because that'll mean that the Jaguars will
10:55
Speaker 1: beating the Titans in the last game of season. Also
10:58
Speaker 1: if they both lose one outside the whole thing. But
11:01
Speaker 1: here's the reality. If both teams play the Cowboys. So
11:06
Speaker 1: I think Dallas is really really good if you assume
11:09
Speaker 1: that both teams lose that game, which I'm not gonna
11:12
Speaker 1: count the Jaguars out out here on Sunday. But if
11:15
Speaker 1: that's your play, then the Titans go to Los Angeles
11:19
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars go to the Jets. As sort of
11:22
Speaker 1: that non a f C South game. Um, you know,
11:26
Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars go up to New York thinking
11:28
Speaker 1: they're gonna win that game. It's not a given. But
11:32
Speaker 1: this is not um now again I hear Nay being
11:37
Speaker 1: out there. This is not because the Jaguars are a
11:39
Speaker 1: great team yet. But the Titans are a flawed team
11:42
Speaker 1: right now. They can lose. They can lose the game
11:47
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars need them to lose to give the
11:49
Speaker 1: Jaguars a chance to make up for the games they
11:52
Speaker 1: gave away early. If that makes any sense, looks it's
11:54
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know what, if you get in at
11:55
Speaker 1: eight nine, you get into eight nine. Uh, it looks
11:57
Speaker 1: to me like the Titans are relying on an injured
12:00
Speaker 1: rookie receiver to give them the passing game trail on
12:02
Speaker 1: Burks who's in the concussion protocol program. That's a sketchy
12:05
Speaker 1: thing to do. Uh. They do look flawed to me,
12:08
Speaker 1: But more on. That's gonna lose three more games. Yeah,
12:11
Speaker 1: you're playing right into my hot takes, so I'll shut up.
12:14
Speaker 1: So go take advantage of that. All right. When we
12:17
Speaker 1: come back, we'll take a look at highlights from yesterday's game,
12:20
Speaker 1: and there are some good ones for us to review.
12:22
Speaker 1: You're watching Jags Drive Time presented on a Monday by
12:25
Speaker 1: car Shield and John and I are back right after this. Yeah, man,
12:41
Speaker 1: I felt great. Man, I know there's a good building
12:43
Speaker 1: block man to get the motivation of going to next week. Now,
12:46
Speaker 1: we got a tougher pointment coming at home. Um, but
12:50
Speaker 1: there's a good, great one. We can't get too excited.
12:52
Speaker 1: This is we pulsed expect things like this happening. We
12:54
Speaker 1: talked to us and we knew this Monik Newness moments
12:57
Speaker 1: gonna come in and and Sinai came in. It's signed
12:59
Speaker 1: to do the next one. On Sunday, the Jaguars host
13:05
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in that game is brought to you
13:07
Speaker 1: by our friends at Renewal by Anderson A better way
13:10
Speaker 1: to a better window. Visit them at r B a
13:13
Speaker 1: f l A dot com. It's r B A f
13:17
Speaker 1: l A dot com. Brian Sexton back with John Osier
13:21
Speaker 1: and let's roll right into the highlights. Jaguars were down
13:24
Speaker 1: seven to nothing after the Titans went right down the
13:27
Speaker 1: field on the opening drive of the ball game and
13:30
Speaker 1: they went three and out on their next series. The
13:34
Speaker 1: defense stepped up with a huge play third down in
13:38
Speaker 1: seven pressures coming down, plus the football Craig hit on
13:46
Speaker 1: tannehel Trayvon Walker forced the bumble on that Jack bars Recomb. John,
13:53
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for this. We've been waiting for it
13:55
Speaker 1: for a long time. Pressure on the quarterback, game changing
13:58
Speaker 1: plays and look at the length and the closing speed
14:01
Speaker 1: of Trayvon Walker, well the violence that he got there with,
14:04
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I get whatever he has or
14:07
Speaker 1: hasn't been, but uh, this was impressive. This change the game.
14:14
Speaker 1: And without this, I don't think they win the game,
14:17
Speaker 1: you know. So, Uh credited Trayvon Walker for shutting out
14:21
Speaker 1: a lot of noise. He didn't play perfectly yesterday. He
14:24
Speaker 1: had the off sides out before this, but a rookie
14:28
Speaker 1: number one overall pick went out and made up for
14:31
Speaker 1: it with with a play that most human beings don't make.
14:34
Speaker 1: And it led to this, Trevor Lawrence taking advantage and
14:38
Speaker 1: getting the ball to a guy who had two drops
14:41
Speaker 1: early on and then came back with eleven catches. Tough
14:45
Speaker 1: to run against him, but it's only third and three,
14:48
Speaker 1: so you would think that the run is an off.
14:51
Speaker 1: Laurence scrambling. He's got an there's a podcast takes it in.
14:55
Speaker 1: But will this one come back? It's nice played signed
15:00
Speaker 1: there too, Brian. They they ran him across the defense.
15:04
Speaker 1: The guy who was supposed to be with Ingram got
15:06
Speaker 1: caught up in the mix, and uh they read it
15:09
Speaker 1: clearly planned it that way. Uh, nice work and made
15:12
Speaker 1: it seven seven at this time. By the way, let's
15:13
Speaker 1: pay off. He will he won't he might? You had
15:15
Speaker 1: z Jones, I had Evan Ingram, and the two combined
15:18
Speaker 1: for eighteen catches for more than two yards and three
15:20
Speaker 1: touchdowns for us pressing it here we go onto the
15:24
Speaker 1: next The Jaguars trailed fourteen seven, and the the Titans
15:28
Speaker 1: got the ball back and we're driving. And Andrew Winger,
15:32
Speaker 1: who has in the last six weeks made plays, made
15:37
Speaker 1: this one effort in his actions and every day Tannahill
15:43
Speaker 1: intercepted Quicker, picked it off and Tannehill makes the tackle
15:48
Speaker 1: at That was a very quick pass by Tannehill, and
15:53
Speaker 1: Wingered was right there for his fourth career interception. He
15:57
Speaker 1: is no longer to be called just a special team's
16:00
Speaker 1: stand out. He's got a roll on this defense. Yesterday
16:02
Speaker 1: it was larger because of the injury to Andre Cisco,
16:05
Speaker 1: but he is a guy who is making plays for
16:08
Speaker 1: this defense that led to the field goal. Jaguars trailed
16:10
Speaker 1: fourteen thirteen with two minutes to play in the first half,
16:14
Speaker 1: and if you recall, right before the two minute warning,
16:16
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry got a twenty one yard run. So all
16:19
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're thinking, man, they're at the thirty
16:20
Speaker 1: seven yard line, you're down by a point? Can you
16:23
Speaker 1: hold on? Can you hold him to a field goal?
16:25
Speaker 1: Well shot quarterman insured that they would do more than that.
16:28
Speaker 1: Tannehill play action as time Henry's wide open. Henry is
16:34
Speaker 1: the first time his way out and the Tugars recover
16:43
Speaker 1: the pride of Oak League high school. That looked to me,
16:46
Speaker 1: I can get a chance to talk to Jack after
16:48
Speaker 1: the game he was running around that looked at me
16:50
Speaker 1: like a kid has been hearing about this guy all
16:52
Speaker 1: his life and said, I'm gonna get him. And he
16:55
Speaker 1: did gonna get you know, because Darry grew up in
16:57
Speaker 1: Julie Shack Gray you know, uh And you know. On
17:01
Speaker 1: on a little more serious note, because I'm sure this
17:04
Speaker 1: is a moment that Shack. I mean, if somebody doesn't
17:07
Speaker 1: get a picture of that hit and blow it up
17:09
Speaker 1: so that he can have it on his wall for
17:10
Speaker 1: the rest of his life, because that was a h
17:13
Speaker 1: that was a neat play on that front. Um. But
17:16
Speaker 1: it also shows you, Dowey Winered Uh, Chack Quarterman. These
17:22
Speaker 1: guys are not the greatest athletes in the NFL, uh,
17:27
Speaker 1: but they are good football players and they made plays
17:31
Speaker 1: with awareness, big hits at big moments. Having a couple
17:36
Speaker 1: of really good football players allowed the Jaguars to win
17:39
Speaker 1: that game the other day, and it compliments the quarterback
17:42
Speaker 1: who did as he has done a lot since the
17:45
Speaker 1: game in London. Late drives at the end of the
17:47
Speaker 1: first quarter to be able to get the Jaguars into
17:50
Speaker 1: a good position. He did it against the Raiders. He
17:52
Speaker 1: didn't against the Chiefs. He did it against the Ravens,
17:55
Speaker 1: and he did it to get the Jaguars the lead
17:58
Speaker 1: on Sunday at ns On Stadium. He definitely used the
18:02
Speaker 1: middle of the field with the two time out slower
18:04
Speaker 1: and so the inside off the deflection, but he was
18:08
Speaker 1: out of bounce. St Jones thinks he got his feet in,
18:13
Speaker 1: but it's been ruled in complete on the field. That
18:17
Speaker 1: was a little weird, Brian, because as they said after
18:19
Speaker 1: the game, he went back to the huddle and he
18:23
Speaker 1: was he thought he was in, and he kept expecting
18:26
Speaker 1: somebody to like stop the game and review it. But
18:30
Speaker 1: it was inside two minutes, so Doug really couldn't challenge,
18:34
Speaker 1: so they had to wait, and you almost got the
18:36
Speaker 1: impression that maybe the people responsible for reviewing assumed he
18:40
Speaker 1: was out, and you wondered if he was gonna get reviewed.
18:43
Speaker 1: And Zay said that Cam Robinson was talling. Hey, we
18:46
Speaker 1: gotta focus on the next play. And as they said
18:50
Speaker 1: basically afterwards, yeah Cam was right, but I kept thinking
18:53
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown, and uh yeah, things don't always things
18:59
Speaker 1: haven't always go right for this team up there. Uh,
19:02
Speaker 1: a lot went right yesterday and they took full advantage
19:04
Speaker 1: of those breaks. So the Jaguars had the lead at
19:06
Speaker 1: the half, and boy did it look like things went
19:09
Speaker 1: right for them. On the opening kickoff, Jamal Agnew racist
19:12
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, but there was a holding penalty on
19:14
Speaker 1: Caleb Johnson. So what did the Jaguars do? They let
19:17
Speaker 1: that bother him? No, no, they put together a twelve
19:19
Speaker 1: play drive the quarterback overcame a couple of holding penalties,
19:23
Speaker 1: and then at the end, well he took it to himself.
19:27
Speaker 1: Second in bold from the lawn, Lawrence keep sitt himself
19:30
Speaker 1: stiff ones and there is a blackdown. What a stiff
19:38
Speaker 1: arm by Trevor Lawrence. Yeah. No, that's a photo that
19:41
Speaker 1: you'd like to have hanging antics as well. I think
19:43
Speaker 1: there would be many Jaguars fans who have that on
19:49
Speaker 1: their walls, and they woul't have you need on their
19:50
Speaker 1: walls because it is etched in their memories forever. I
19:53
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people love that photo because of
19:55
Speaker 1: the hate for the Titans um and what a cool moment.
20:00
Speaker 1: It's what the NFL and these rivalries are all about,
20:02
Speaker 1: that moment him doing it. But something you mentioned right
20:06
Speaker 1: before we went to that highlight was very real against Baltimore.
20:13
Speaker 1: Remember when Marvin Jones came down, you weren't Seriot scored
20:16
Speaker 1: or not. And I remember thinking, I don't I think
20:19
Speaker 1: it matters that much if he scores, because I thought
20:22
Speaker 1: they were gonna go score again. Uh. When ag Knew
20:26
Speaker 1: got the penalty called back, I mean it went on Jamal,
20:30
Speaker 1: But when that play got called back, I didn't think
20:34
Speaker 1: the jag Wars worried about it at all. They just
20:37
Speaker 1: went down and scored again. There's a confidence on this
20:39
Speaker 1: team to overcome those things that's starting to grow that
20:44
Speaker 1: I think is starting to be what this offense and
20:46
Speaker 1: what Trevor Lawrence is all about. Uh, it's it's it's
20:50
Speaker 1: it's exciting, and it's it's a revelation to see. Well.
20:54
Speaker 1: He threw another touchdown past to Evan Ingram, which was
20:56
Speaker 1: another beautiful catch. Josh Allen had a sack in there
20:59
Speaker 1: that another ten points uh, and the Jaguars win and
21:02
Speaker 1: resounding fashion, thirty six to twenty two. The superlatives could
21:06
Speaker 1: go on the entire show, but coming up here on
21:09
Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time, we present you with hot takes courtesy
21:12
Speaker 1: of John and myself back after this. We'll called car
21:21
Speaker 1: Shield Now. If your car is out of manufacturer's warranty,
21:25
Speaker 1: don't get stuck with expensive mechanical and computer screen repairs.
21:29
Speaker 1: Call our friends at car Shield today, Bryan Sexton, John
21:33
Speaker 1: oh Is, you're back here with you On a Monday morning,
21:35
Speaker 1: Jaguars will be a huge win thirty two over the
21:38
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans in Nashville, first time. It's almost ten years
21:43
Speaker 1: since the Jaguars have beaten the Titans in Nashville, and
21:45
Speaker 1: the first time they've beaten them since twenty nineteen. A
21:49
Speaker 1: five game losing streak ends and it brings us to
21:52
Speaker 1: hot takes, and John will begin with you, Well, I'm
21:54
Speaker 1: gonna switch gears here. You know the future is secure.
21:58
Speaker 1: There can be no no motivy. This is about Trevor Lawrence,
22:00
Speaker 1: which we've already covered. He is the future. If you
22:03
Speaker 1: don't know it by now, then you're blind. But as
22:06
Speaker 1: I was driving in this morning, I thought, you know what,
22:09
Speaker 1: this may be the game that fans look back where
22:12
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson showed them that he gets it. Um. He
22:17
Speaker 1: emphasized the importance of this Titans game to the players
22:21
Speaker 1: the night before. I guess he made up a film
22:23
Speaker 1: of of moments of the Titans talking about the Jaguars
22:26
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars struggling against him. Uh. Evan Ingram said,
22:30
Speaker 1: it was a clear you know, they learned a lesson
22:33
Speaker 1: about it. And I thought it was cool that Doug said, look,
22:36
Speaker 1: this game matters. The beating these guys matters, not just
22:41
Speaker 1: because they're in the division, but because it's these guys.
22:44
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I don't know if I'm sure
22:47
Speaker 1: Doug didn't do it to play to the fans, but
22:50
Speaker 1: you know, the fans have to love that that Doug
22:52
Speaker 1: realizes how much beating these guys means to this franchise.
22:57
Speaker 1: So uh, Doug e p master he well, and look,
23:02
Speaker 1: the Jaguars since two thousand eighteen were ten and twenty
23:04
Speaker 1: four in the division and the Titans were ten. Flipping
23:10
Speaker 1: around see now, which brings us to my hot take,
23:12
Speaker 1: which is that the Titans time at the top is over. Look.
23:16
Speaker 1: They have won two in a row in the a
23:18
Speaker 1: f C South and they've got the lead to win
23:20
Speaker 1: number three. They've had nothing but winning seasons since Derrick
23:23
Speaker 1: Henry came on board there and Mike Vrabel is an
23:26
Speaker 1: excellent coach. But they're built around a twenty nine year
23:28
Speaker 1: old running back and a quarterback who has not been
23:31
Speaker 1: able to win in the playoffs. The Jaguars showed them
23:35
Speaker 1: that even if it's not this year, their time has
23:37
Speaker 1: come because Trevor Lawrence elevated his game in a way
23:41
Speaker 1: that we've all been waiting for and some have doubted
23:44
Speaker 1: that he could get over the top. They got huge
23:46
Speaker 1: production from free agents yesterday, right. They got it from
23:49
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and z Jones. Those two combined for six
23:52
Speaker 1: drops in Detroit, and they combined for eighteen catches yesterday
23:56
Speaker 1: in a must win game and three touchdowns. The Jaguars
23:59
Speaker 1: have young talent all over the roster. This is their
24:03
Speaker 1: time to claim the top. And even though the Titans
24:06
Speaker 1: have the advantage right now and the Jaggers have to
24:09
Speaker 1: overcome a lot, they know and I think that stiff
24:11
Speaker 1: arm was like a metaphor, right, Trevor Lawrence to the
24:15
Speaker 1: linebacker coal, this is no longer yours, this is ours. Yeah.
24:20
Speaker 1: I couldn't regret more. And it's going to get interesting, uh,
24:25
Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks. Well, and you said
24:27
Speaker 1: you think they'll lose three more games, Well, yeah, I
24:30
Speaker 1: think the Titans will lose to the and I they'll
24:33
Speaker 1: lose to the Cowboys. I think they'll go to Sandy
24:35
Speaker 1: I Los Angeles. Los Angeles will lose. And this is
24:38
Speaker 1: not necessarily saying a negative thing about the Titans. Um,
24:44
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are really good and the Chargers, you're playing
24:47
Speaker 1: out West against a team that is now fighting for
24:50
Speaker 1: the postseason, can score, Yeah, they can score. So uh,
24:53
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think the Titans will go out
24:56
Speaker 1: there and lay eggs. I think they'll play well in
24:58
Speaker 1: those games, but I think there's two teams may be better.
25:01
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, if you're the Jaguars and
25:04
Speaker 1: you take care of business against everybody except Dallas, now
25:07
Speaker 1: you're playing for the division at the end of the season. Um,
25:11
Speaker 1: Titans lose that game too, not because the Titans are bad,
25:15
Speaker 1: but because I think we saw yesterday put him out
25:17
Speaker 1: here in that situation. Uh yeah. The Texans haven't really
25:22
Speaker 1: even begun their rebuild yet. They'll get a quarterback this
25:24
Speaker 1: year at the top of the draft, and well, we
25:26
Speaker 1: know what the cold situation is. Right now. They've got
25:28
Speaker 1: some talent, but they don't have a quarterback. And so
25:30
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have an opportunity to take this division. And
25:34
Speaker 1: I say the thing you said, Brian, cut through it all.
25:39
Speaker 1: Trevorone's head and shoulders the quarterback and not even close.
25:43
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's ever been the case for
25:45
Speaker 1: this franchise in the a C South. You know, the
25:48
Speaker 1: jag Wars in the a f C South just is
25:49
Speaker 1: a moment interest the South. But even back in the day,
25:53
Speaker 1: oh well right, yeah, twenty years of the a FC
25:56
Speaker 1: South and the Jaguars only have a record with four
26:01
Speaker 1: wins and two losses. That's their best. By the way,
26:04
Speaker 1: twice twice have they had better than five hundred in
26:07
Speaker 1: the at seven. Yeah, the only two years and they've
26:10
Speaker 1: only won it once. They finally have the quarterback, they
26:14
Speaker 1: have the coach. I mean, let's be honest, the more
26:15
Speaker 1: you watch him, the more you both on the field
26:18
Speaker 1: and in the locker room, the more you appreciate what
26:20
Speaker 1: he's doing and how he's doing it. The future is
26:22
Speaker 1: incredibly bright and the South belongs to the Jaguars. We'll
26:26
Speaker 1: take a breaking back and wrap up Jack's drive time,
26:28
Speaker 1: brought to you by car Shield here on a Monday morning.
26:30
Speaker 1: Right after this, well, Magellan moves the freight and Magellan
26:38
Speaker 1: Transport has been voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville.
26:42
Speaker 1: So apply online at www dot Magellan Logistics dot com.
26:49
Speaker 1: Had a nice little history lesson this week on the
26:51
Speaker 1: history between these two teams. Uh, man, you know where
26:55
Speaker 1: we are and our season, um, and what we kind
26:58
Speaker 1: of have to do this last stet of games. This
27:00
Speaker 1: one was big and uh we kind of got a
27:03
Speaker 1: glimpse of that last night as a motivation. UM, and
27:06
Speaker 1: we came out. We were ready. We had a great
27:08
Speaker 1: week of practice, We had fun that practice. UM, and
27:11
Speaker 1: we just trusted our process and we put our process
27:13
Speaker 1: to the test today. UM. And then defense, UM, Offense
27:17
Speaker 1: special teams had a big one called back which is unfortunate,
27:20
Speaker 1: but UM, you know we all we all answered the
27:23
Speaker 1: belt today. It was it just was fun. Evan Ingram
27:29
Speaker 1: with a career best eleven one, S, two and two
27:32
Speaker 1: across the board. And you know we talked about the
27:35
Speaker 1: quarterback elevating the players around him. UM. We've been waiting
27:39
Speaker 1: for Evan Ingram to play at a high level because
27:42
Speaker 1: he's a former first round pick and a guy that's
27:44
Speaker 1: been to the Pro Bowl. And what was clear yesterday
27:47
Speaker 1: was as the quarterback has risen now, Evan Ingram has
27:50
Speaker 1: risen well, and it was clear Trevor wasn't going to
27:52
Speaker 1: give up on him. Orsa Jones and both of them
27:57
Speaker 1: head drops early and I Trevor kept going back with
27:59
Speaker 1: him and saying he's there, guys. And a word about
28:02
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. This is the guy who went through a
28:05
Speaker 1: lot in New York, uh and could have come out
28:08
Speaker 1: very jaded. He he is a really really pleasant kid
28:12
Speaker 1: to be around, uh and has really done a nice job,
28:16
Speaker 1: you know, making sure people know he wants to be
28:21
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. He likes he's a free agency season. I
28:24
Speaker 1: don't know what happens at the end of the season
28:25
Speaker 1: because it's the NFL and free agency, but I mean,
28:28
Speaker 1: this is a guy for Jaguars fans that should be
28:30
Speaker 1: very easy root for. He likes it here, likes being
28:33
Speaker 1: a part of this and uh, it's cool to see
28:38
Speaker 1: a kid like that get a payoff like a game yesterday.
28:40
Speaker 1: He's also a wise voice in the locker room. He's calm,
28:44
Speaker 1: he's reflective, and he's somebody who's not gonna go and
28:47
Speaker 1: stand in the middle of the room and shout instructions.
28:50
Speaker 1: But when he talks to people because he has such
28:53
Speaker 1: a reason to approach the people are willing to listen
28:55
Speaker 1: and believe in what he does. So, Uh, this will
28:58
Speaker 1: be a fun week. Cowboys haven't been here since two
29:00
Speaker 1: thousand six, Um, the only visit they've ever made here.
29:03
Speaker 1: And obviously they had the game in London. Uh, the
29:06
Speaker 1: Cowboys had a close game on Sunday night against the Texans.
29:10
Speaker 1: My guess is they will be on high alert. Um,
29:14
Speaker 1: this has the potential to be a really fun week
29:17
Speaker 1: and Sunday be a really important game. Yeah. And you know,
29:20
Speaker 1: uh if if if the Jaws win Sunday, then all
29:26
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you really like their chances to make
29:28
Speaker 1: a thing of this. I mean that are gonna be favored.
29:31
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to pick them because Dallas might
29:34
Speaker 1: be one of the best two or three teams in
29:35
Speaker 1: the league right now. Are the Jaguars at that point?
29:37
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh. Can they challenge and making it
29:42
Speaker 1: and make it interesting? Yes? Uh, win this and it's
29:46
Speaker 1: a different season. You gotta score, you gotta score. We'll
29:50
Speaker 1: see what they do. Yeah a lot. Yeah, you might
29:52
Speaker 1: need to have a season high in points in order
29:54
Speaker 1: to get that one done. All right, that will do
29:56
Speaker 1: it for our broadcast today. A lot of people put
29:58
Speaker 1: this show together to get their every week, and we
30:00
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate all the contributions. Jaguars with a huge win,
30:05
Speaker 1: and we now have a game on Sunday, meaningful game
30:09
Speaker 1: a week before Christmas. That's what this season is all about.
30:12
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you on Wednesday with Jack's Drive Time.
30:15
Speaker 1: Have a great day, everybody. M
