0:16
Speaker 1: Welcome in Happy new year here on Jagzam on Kinnati Steavens,
0:19
Speaker 1: fran Sexton, John Osier with me today. It's our first
0:21
Speaker 1: jags Am of twenty twenty six, but it's our final
0:24
Speaker 1: jags Am of the regular seasons from twenty twenty five.
0:27
Speaker 2: So we're getting prepped for the postseason.
0:29
Speaker 1: But first we're gonna talk about the season finale, the
0:31
Speaker 1: regular season finale against the Titans. Let's go through our
0:33
Speaker 1: big things for you today, brought to you by g
0:35
Speaker 1: EHA Government Employees Health Association. Big Thing number one is
0:39
Speaker 1: a cold start. This team has to get going early
0:42
Speaker 1: against the Titans. They don't want to get behind like
0:44
Speaker 1: they did against the Cults. That it could be a
0:45
Speaker 1: tough week to do that as some sickness is running
0:47
Speaker 1: through the team.
0:48
Speaker 3: I'm really you have the dream, probably under the weather,
0:50
Speaker 3: so I wouldn't say, hey, I wanna say it feels
0:52
Speaker 3: like a normal week. What preparation wise, you know, when
0:56
Speaker 3: we're out there in the field was everything is to say,
0:59
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's sticking to the schedule. Everybody works out
1:02
Speaker 3: when it was supposed to work on everybody's you know
1:04
Speaker 3: what I'm saying everybody's still doing what they're supposed to do.
1:06
Speaker 3: Is just you know, I feel like people don't feel
1:10
Speaker 3: it's good. But we've got a job to do and
1:12
Speaker 3: we've got to execut have a high level, and we've
1:14
Speaker 3: all got to be focused on a main job.
1:16
Speaker 1: Brian, nobody's gonna get a sick day on Sunday. I
1:19
Speaker 1: imagine they'll all be out there. But it's important also
1:21
Speaker 1: to start the game well, not let that flow them down.
1:23
Speaker 4: You bet tis the season, right, I mean, every locker
1:25
Speaker 4: room in the league is dealing with this. And it
1:27
Speaker 4: seemed to be a cold and listen, I'm not a doctor,
1:29
Speaker 4: but it could have been much worse. It could have
1:32
Speaker 4: been something that had everybody running off the practice field
1:34
Speaker 4: to the bathroom. But listen, from that perspective, you've got
1:38
Speaker 4: to come out. You got to be focused. You got
1:39
Speaker 4: to get through this because you have a playoff game
1:42
Speaker 4: the next week and you need to win on Sunday.
1:44
Speaker 4: That'll have everybody find their way through it.
1:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, unfortunately, you got to go play
1:50
Speaker 5: even when you're sick. These guys know that. I thought,
1:54
Speaker 5: knowing how the sickness is running through against the Colts,
1:57
Speaker 5: I thought it was impressive how they responded quick start.
2:01
Speaker 5: In these kind of games for favored teams, a quick
2:04
Speaker 5: start is really important because usually the other team goes
2:06
Speaker 5: away after a quick start.
2:08
Speaker 6: That would be what you're looking for, Cott.
2:11
Speaker 1: Big thing number two today is going to be a
2:13
Speaker 1: get right game. As we know, if they win that
2:15
Speaker 1: game against the Titans, they're officially at the AFC South champions.
2:18
Speaker 1: If not, they kind of need something to happen with
2:20
Speaker 1: the Texans. Do you always want to take care of
2:22
Speaker 1: business by yourself, John, But also looking ahead to the
2:24
Speaker 1: playoffs just a little bit, what are you hoping to
2:26
Speaker 1: see out of the team in the regular season finale
2:28
Speaker 1: to kind of get right before they get into the postseason.
2:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think everybody would like to see the christness
2:34
Speaker 5: of offense that you were seeing for four weeks before
2:39
Speaker 5: the Colts. But again, you know they would have gotten
2:43
Speaker 5: thirty five points or so without the turners against the Colts,
2:46
Speaker 5: so it's still functioning. I think, specifically, Rian, you would
2:49
Speaker 5: love to see them run the ball the way they
2:52
Speaker 5: want to run the ball. They've been efficient, they've been persistent,
2:56
Speaker 5: but I think they would like to be a little
2:58
Speaker 5: better going to the playoffs, especially on the interior, which
3:00
Speaker 5: is tough with Jeffers Simmons around.
3:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough too because Robert Hainse and Patrick McCarry
3:04
Speaker 4: have both been on the injury report in recent weeks.
3:06
Speaker 6: And let's be honest.
3:07
Speaker 4: I mean, they had seventy rushing yards the last time
3:09
Speaker 4: they played the Titans and they won that ball game
3:11
Speaker 4: twenty five to three. You would have thought they would
3:13
Speaker 4: have had more than that because they had the game
3:15
Speaker 4: in control. But the Titans are very good against the run.
3:17
Speaker 4: I'll flip it over and look at the defense. Kui
3:20
Speaker 4: thirty takeaways on the season. It's been a remarkable story
3:24
Speaker 4: for a team that couldn't get a takeaway last year
3:26
Speaker 4: eight from the defense nine total, and they've got thirty
3:29
Speaker 4: this year. And they've tied the franchise record with twenty
3:33
Speaker 4: one interceptions. Let's see that keep going. You know, they
3:36
Speaker 4: tend to come in bunches, as we hear, but let's
3:38
Speaker 4: see if they can keep that momentum taking the bowl away.
3:41
Speaker 4: They get a rookie quarterback in cam Ward who's only
3:44
Speaker 4: from one interception in the last four games. Hopefully they
3:47
Speaker 4: can turn that around and make that maybe the impetus
3:50
Speaker 4: for their quick start.
3:51
Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is going to be keep
3:54
Speaker 1: it clean, because in these rivalry.
3:56
Speaker 2: Games, we know things can get a little chippy.
3:57
Speaker 1: They did the last time these two teams played back Nashville.
4:00
Speaker 1: Some of the most penalties and scene I gainst the.
4:02
Speaker 2: Team, Brian, when it's kind of personal.
4:04
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the rivalry going forward in the show,
4:06
Speaker 1: But how do you kind of keep your emotions in check?
4:08
Speaker 1: Probably a good thing to learn.
4:09
Speaker 4: Quote, keep with Quinn Dollen. I'm sorry, keep with Quinn
4:12
Speaker 4: Dowlin away from Jeffrey Simmons, right. I mean, if you
4:14
Speaker 4: want some fun, go back and watch that game and
4:16
Speaker 4: look at how often Laquinn was going after the best
4:19
Speaker 4: player on the Titan side of the field.
4:21
Speaker 6: John.
4:21
Speaker 4: I mean, he's done that all season long. You did
4:23
Speaker 4: it with Max Crosby in a famous miked up spot
4:25
Speaker 4: that you can probably find on this YouTube channel. It's
4:30
Speaker 4: gonna be chippy because Jeffrey Simmons talks a lot and
4:32
Speaker 4: Laquinn loves that stuff.
4:34
Speaker 6: But if you get them down, get a lead, it'll stop. Yeah.
4:39
Speaker 5: I think that will favor I say, favorite Jaguars, but
4:42
Speaker 5: I think in this game, you don't have to worry
4:45
Speaker 5: about coming out not focused, you know, and I think
4:50
Speaker 5: the chippiness is part of that, the fact you're playing
4:53
Speaker 5: at home as part of that. I expect a motivated
4:55
Speaker 5: team and a focused team outside of some of the
5:00
Speaker 5: gawing that you'll see, because football is fun.
5:03
Speaker 1: Football is fun, and we're gonna have some fun here
5:05
Speaker 1: on Jagzam. After the break, we're gonna go over some
5:07
Speaker 1: of our favorite moments from the Jaguars and titaned rivalry
5:10
Speaker 1: over the last thirty years. Jag Vam brought to you
5:14
Speaker 1: by Fields Auto Groups. See Field's First Jacksonville's premier luxury
5:17
Speaker 1: auto group. Head over Tofields Auto dot com. Welcome back
5:21
Speaker 1: into Jagzam today, final one of the regular season. We
5:24
Speaker 1: usually look at our opponent a little bit, as we
5:26
Speaker 1: know the Titans not heading to the postseason, definitely in
5:29
Speaker 1: that rebuild mode right now, but we.
5:30
Speaker 2: Do want to look back at some of the.
5:31
Speaker 1: Most memorable moments with the Titans, because even when the
5:35
Speaker 1: teams are in different positions, it can always be kind
5:37
Speaker 1: of interesting.
5:39
Speaker 4: It hit me as I was starting to prepare for
5:41
Speaker 4: this game, but the Titans were the Oilers and opened
5:43
Speaker 4: this stadium in nineteen ninety five, September third, first game,
5:47
Speaker 4: Boys to.
5:48
Speaker 6: Men sang the national anthem. You were there, you remember
5:50
Speaker 6: they had a.
5:52
Speaker 4: Flag the shape of the United States and they were
5:54
Speaker 4: right in the middle of it. It was spectacular with
5:57
Speaker 4: the flyover and of course all the emotion that comes
5:59
Speaker 4: with a brand game.
6:01
Speaker 6: But they're gonna close the stadium in its current incarnation.
6:05
Speaker 2: Because well less the past name.
6:06
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and it'll be under more construction than it is
6:09
Speaker 4: this year. And so it's it's fun to look back
6:11
Speaker 4: at that inaugural game and see how the league puts
6:15
Speaker 4: these two together once again.
6:16
Speaker 6: They don't miss the chance to create a little storyline.
6:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so many games. You know, they got their
6:21
Speaker 5: first win against this team in Houston that year. The
6:26
Speaker 5: next year, remember they went and won that hollow stadium
6:30
Speaker 5: game during the playoff run where it felt like there
6:32
Speaker 5: were five people in the stands because announced announce they
6:37
Speaker 5: were going to Tennessee. You know. The ninety nine season,
6:42
Speaker 5: of course, is the one that lives in infamy for
6:45
Speaker 5: this franchise, but there are also other big ones. The
6:48
Speaker 5: next year, Brian, remember they beat the Titans when the
6:51
Speaker 5: Jaguars were struggling. They won a game at home that
6:53
Speaker 5: was probably their best win of two thousand.
6:58
Speaker 6: They had a few. That was the year they beat
6:59
Speaker 6: the Steelers. Fred went off up there.
7:01
Speaker 5: But even even recently, the Jaguars knocked the Titans out
7:05
Speaker 5: of the playoffs in twenty sixteen in Maron's interim game.
7:10
Speaker 5: So there has been a lot The Jaguars fans kind
7:13
Speaker 5: of consider the Titans they're nemesis, but the Jaguars have
7:16
Speaker 5: gotten them a lot too.
7:19
Speaker 4: You've got a list of games you want to go through.
7:21
Speaker 4: We could tell the stories.
7:22
Speaker 2: Forever and ever, yes, but of course we have to
7:24
Speaker 2: get to you.
7:25
Speaker 1: Did mention the twenty sixteen Yep Bortles game where he
7:29
Speaker 1: catches a touchdown in this game, I believe I got
7:31
Speaker 1: into a YouTube hoole, so I got really into.
7:32
Speaker 2: This as well.
7:33
Speaker 6: I know this was a touch that he caught from
7:34
Speaker 6: Marquise Lee.
7:35
Speaker 2: Pretty cool. And then Jalen.
7:37
Speaker 4: The week before this, they fired Gush Bradley in Houston,
7:40
Speaker 4: which you know, when your coach gets fired, especially on
7:42
Speaker 4: the road, there's just a load that comes with that,
7:44
Speaker 4: you know. So no one was expecting them to come
7:46
Speaker 4: out against a nine and six or nine and seven
7:52
Speaker 4: ninety six ninety six playoff. I get him confused because
7:55
Speaker 4: that was at ninety five.
7:56
Speaker 6: This was not the they finished ninety seven.
7:58
Speaker 5: This was not the last game in the raisular season.
8:00
Speaker 6: But it knocked them out.
8:01
Speaker 4: Okay, you're right, So it knocked them out of the
8:02
Speaker 4: playoffs and no one expected that.
8:04
Speaker 6: Guy.
8:04
Speaker 4: I mean, and Jalen Ramsey's a rookie and he comes
8:06
Speaker 4: up with his pick six and the defense was not
8:10
Speaker 4: quite what it was going to be the next year
8:11
Speaker 4: when it became the best defense in JAG's history. But
8:13
Speaker 4: he kind of felt it coming, and it was fun
8:15
Speaker 4: to send the Titans home, and of course, you know
8:17
Speaker 4: they'd done that to this team.
8:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, it sort of set the tone and made you think, oh,
8:22
Speaker 5: there might be something there. It's going to be better
8:25
Speaker 5: in seventeen.
8:26
Speaker 1: Guy, I want to go back a little bit and
8:28
Speaker 1: talk about that nineteen nine nineteen because I know when
8:29
Speaker 1: I came here, everyone talks very you know, reverently about
8:32
Speaker 1: it and how great they were. But the Titans were
8:35
Speaker 1: kind of just the thorn in the side that whole year, right,
8:37
Speaker 1: and to try to beat a team three times in
8:39
Speaker 1: a year is very difficult to do.
8:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it was a monsoon. It was a
8:44
Speaker 4: post hurricane. I forget what hurricane it was, but the
8:47
Speaker 4: first game was a six to three game and it
8:49
Speaker 4: rained the entire day. I mean it just a heavy rain,
8:53
Speaker 4: the kind that makes you think, why are we playing
8:55
Speaker 4: this game? And the Jaguars got frustrated and tried a
8:58
Speaker 4: fake field go you remember that, and they sent the
8:59
Speaker 4: phunter to try to score a touchdown and missed, and
9:03
Speaker 4: you just was like, Okay, they're going to lose this
9:05
Speaker 4: one at home. And then we went up there and played.
9:06
Speaker 4: The day after Christmas, we had Christmas dinner because everything
9:10
Speaker 4: was closed that year. Downtown Nashville wasn't what it is now.
9:13
Speaker 4: At the Wild Horse Saloon, we had chicken tenders for
9:15
Speaker 4: Christmas dinner.
9:16
Speaker 6: And then the next day.
9:17
Speaker 4: Mark Brunell got hurt early in the game and it
9:20
Speaker 4: was the breakout game for Steve McNairy through five touchdown
9:22
Speaker 4: classes and it was like, wow, are we that vulnerable
9:26
Speaker 4: late in the year. It ended an eleven game winning streak,
9:28
Speaker 4: and then of course we beat the Miami Dolphins here
9:30
Speaker 4: sixty two to seven, and it was like, Okay, that's
9:34
Speaker 4: the team that we thought we had. And then the
9:36
Speaker 4: next week it all fell apart in the second half
9:38
Speaker 4: against the Titans.
9:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, unfortunately the Jaguars best year. Titans were a little
9:44
Speaker 5: better than they hate to say it that way.
9:46
Speaker 2: But you know that was history.
9:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:50
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't just a side and hotel that year.
9:53
Speaker 4: I had my backpack because there was no week between.
9:55
Speaker 6: The Super Bowl.
9:56
Speaker 4: So the plan was beat the Titans, hopping the car,
9:58
Speaker 4: drive right to Atlanta and get ready for the game
10:01
Speaker 4: next week. And instead I went down Atlantic Boulevard and
10:05
Speaker 4: it was the longest sixteen mile ride of my life.
10:07
Speaker 4: I remember just being completely crestfallen. That's a game I
10:11
Speaker 4: have never quite gotten over.
10:13
Speaker 2: I think there's probably a lot of Jags fans still
10:15
Speaker 2: thinking about it too.
10:16
Speaker 4: And by the way, and longtime jaguarst fans will remember that.
10:20
Speaker 4: Jeff Fisher, the coach of the Titans, went to the
10:21
Speaker 4: Super Bowl that year.
10:22
Speaker 6: And they talked about, coach, how did you navigate that?
10:25
Speaker 4: You know, you went from the Astrodome to the Liberty Bowl,
10:27
Speaker 4: to Vanderbilt Stadium to whatever it was called back then,
10:32
Speaker 4: I LP Field or whatever they called it, Adelphia Stadium
10:35
Speaker 4: I think is what it was. Yeah, the first year
10:37
Speaker 4: and because you forgot one and famously said at the
10:40
Speaker 4: media Daego's Alltel Stadium.
10:42
Speaker 6: That's a home stadium for us too.
10:44
Speaker 4: So John mentions the win in two thousand over the
10:47
Speaker 4: Titans here and Tom Coffin came into the postgame medios.
10:49
Speaker 6: We won the battle for Alltel, which seemed.
10:52
Speaker 4: A little anti climactic because the season was over, but
10:54
Speaker 4: it meant that much to him to stick it back in.
10:57
Speaker 6: Jeff Fisher's face.
11:00
Speaker 4: There was just an intensity to the rivalry that's abated
11:03
Speaker 4: a bit over the years.
11:05
Speaker 6: But I think people are feeling it.
11:06
Speaker 1: Again, and don't forget I'm sorry guy, I'm gonna say
11:09
Speaker 1: I think it picks back up in points because you
11:11
Speaker 1: always have a little evan flow of things. But because
11:13
Speaker 1: even now, I mean, like just in the last couple
11:15
Speaker 1: of years of my experience, I mean obviously last two
11:19
Speaker 1: years ago when they play the Titans at the end
11:21
Speaker 1: kind of that fall down, I think we lost six
11:24
Speaker 1: to seven, and then you still had a chance to
11:26
Speaker 1: make the playoffs but just couldn't.
11:27
Speaker 2: Quite get it done.
11:28
Speaker 1: And that was the end of Rabel and Derrick Henry
11:30
Speaker 1: and Tannehill there as well. So there's all these monumental moments,
11:34
Speaker 1: even when necessarily their season as a holes and going well.
11:36
Speaker 5: Well, don't forget in the ninety nine season they knocked
11:40
Speaker 5: the Jaguars out. Probably the second biggest game between these
11:44
Speaker 5: two teams was in twenty two at the end when
11:47
Speaker 5: it was winner take off for the division. Now, I
11:49
Speaker 5: get the Titans were sliding, but you know, it's easy
11:54
Speaker 5: to forget at the moment, we thought that Jaguars team
11:58
Speaker 5: that was a special team, special and for josh Heinz
12:01
Speaker 5: Allen to return that touchdown at the end of the game,
12:05
Speaker 5: that's among the top seven or eight, whatever number of
12:09
Speaker 5: plays in this team's history.
12:10
Speaker 6: Happening against Tennessee, Fret.
12:11
Speaker 4: Taylor and I were in the Upper West Club where
12:13
Speaker 4: we do the stadium show, and we got on the
12:14
Speaker 4: elevator to go down to the field to do some
12:17
Speaker 4: postgame kai And as we got on the elevator, we
12:20
Speaker 4: thought it's over there driving there's two minutes left.
12:23
Speaker 6: When the doors opened, we heard this rule.
12:26
Speaker 4: We missed that play live where Rayshawn Jenkins strip sacked
12:31
Speaker 4: Joshua Dobbs and it was picked up on the run.
12:34
Speaker 4: So we get to the sideline and it's absolute pandemonium.
12:36
Speaker 4: I mean, it's one of my great memories of thirty
12:39
Speaker 4: one years of covering this football team is the way
12:41
Speaker 4: that that stadium looked and felt that night after that play.
12:46
Speaker 1: It's easy to see why the schedule makers like to
12:48
Speaker 1: kind of put the two teams together later on in
12:51
Speaker 1: the year. And obviously this one during the day, maybe
12:54
Speaker 1: not as climactic because the Titans are out of it,
12:56
Speaker 1: but the Jaguars can still get the division crown with
12:59
Speaker 1: a win over the And I think it's also what's cool,
13:01
Speaker 1: at least for right now for us is to see,
13:04
Speaker 1: you know, this team wasn't in a great spot last year.
13:06
Speaker 1: Maybe the Titans weren't either, obviously with the number one pick,
13:09
Speaker 1: but where the Jaguars have gone in a year is
13:11
Speaker 1: really cool to see because it doesn't always work out
13:13
Speaker 1: that way.
13:14
Speaker 5: No, it's been a remarkable year.
13:19
Speaker 6: For this team.
13:19
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody I thought they'd be nine and eight,
13:22
Speaker 5: you know, in that range.
13:23
Speaker 6: It was fair.
13:24
Speaker 5: I did not think they would be on a seven
13:26
Speaker 5: game winning streak. And as talking about, you know, being
13:30
Speaker 5: one of the teams that they can contend for the
13:32
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, you can get it done quickly.
13:35
Speaker 6: Listen.
13:35
Speaker 4: One of the reasons why we're surprised, and you would
13:37
Speaker 4: have talked about this is the schedule's tough. You had
13:40
Speaker 4: four West Coast trips, by the way, they won all four.
13:43
Speaker 4: You had the AFC West, which everybody thought, well, this
13:46
Speaker 4: is really maybe the best yeaers in football.
13:48
Speaker 6: You swept them.
13:49
Speaker 4: It's remarkable not just that they're in a position to
13:51
Speaker 4: flip the record from four to thirteen to thirteen and four,
13:54
Speaker 4: but that they did it in a year John, when
13:56
Speaker 4: the schedule was such a challenge.
13:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is not a last place schedule turnaround, which
14:01
Speaker 5: can be sometimes misleading. This is not a misleading.
14:05
Speaker 2: Turnaround, not at all.
14:06
Speaker 1: Hopefully, Well, get some more memorable moments and a Jaguars
14:09
Speaker 1: win and an AFC South title coming up after the
14:11
Speaker 1: break will tell you what we think we'll be.
14:13

Speaker 1: and going presents our predictions for what we're going to
14:38
Speaker 1: be talking about on Monday morning, Brian, I think we
14:42
Speaker 1: all feel similarly about how the game might go.
14:44
Speaker 2: But what do you think we'll be talking about.
14:45
Speaker 4: Let's I say, take that Titans. I think they're going
14:47
Speaker 4: to come out. I think you talked about getting off
14:50
Speaker 4: to a good start. I think the Jaguars will. They're
14:52
Speaker 4: motivated to claim the division. You know, in twenty seventeen,
14:56
Speaker 4: the first time they won the South, they lost both
14:58
Speaker 4: games to the Titans. Titans made a big deal about, well,
15:01
Speaker 4: they can claim the title because they had more wins,
15:04
Speaker 4: but we beat them twice, so we.
15:05
Speaker 6: Knew who this. We know who the division champ really is.
15:09
Speaker 4: I think the Jaguars want to take it. Make sure
15:11
Speaker 4: that nobody thinks it's anyone but theirs. So take that
15:14
Speaker 4: Titans is my headline. And I also think it's a
15:17
Speaker 4: nod to the fact that they beat the Jaguars in
15:20
Speaker 4: the first ever game here and this is the last
15:23
Speaker 4: game in the stadium minutes incarnation. The Titans lead the
15:26
Speaker 4: series thirty four to twenty six. Jaguars have narrated it.
15:28
Speaker 4: They've won six of the last seven. I think they
15:30
Speaker 4: make an emphatic statement and go into a new era.
15:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, I think I'll go with mine. I
15:37
Speaker 5: think it will be maybe a slightly more difficult game
15:41
Speaker 5: than you're talking about. I think seventeen to fourteen going
15:43
Speaker 5: into the fourth, and then I think they sort of
15:46
Speaker 5: pull away because these second division games are tough. But
15:49
Speaker 5: I went with well done, well earned. It's not a
15:52
Speaker 5: very good headline.
15:53
Speaker 1: But they pay other people for the headlines down here
15:56
Speaker 1: that you bring right in the story.
15:58
Speaker 5: I had Liam Cohen as as the picture because if
16:02
Speaker 5: they closed this out with an eight game winning streak,
16:06
Speaker 5: remember the Texans right on their tail. Every week of
16:10
Speaker 5: that you had to win every week. You had to grind,
16:13
Speaker 5: you didn't have any breath to take. And look they
16:17
Speaker 5: tind of staying around from four to thirteen. Yeah, I
16:19
Speaker 5: mean it's they earned it because they went through the
16:23
Speaker 5: schedule you're talking about.
16:24
Speaker 6: This is a.
16:25
Speaker 5: Legitimate, big time division title winning season. I think it's
16:28
Speaker 5: going to set the tone for the future. So well done.
16:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, you can't you can't miss the fact that
16:34
Speaker 4: they have been in the playoffs essentially with the Texans
16:37
Speaker 4: weekend and we got as impressive as the winning streak
16:39
Speaker 4: is the fact that you went into Denver with the
16:41
Speaker 4: Texans right on your heels and beat them, and then
16:44
Speaker 4: the next week and then the next week. I mean,
16:46
Speaker 4: to come through that. They're battle tested.
16:49
Speaker 1: Already, and all of it coming off kind of a
16:51
Speaker 1: blown fourth quarter lead against the same team. So to
16:54
Speaker 1: kind of build off of that as well. I think
16:56
Speaker 1: Tony Bacelli, Liam Cohen also very much a part of this.
16:59
Speaker 1: I'm going to bringing Trevor Lawrence King of the South.
17:01
Speaker 1: I feel like the past I mean he was saying
17:03
Speaker 1: a month, but probably six weeks closer to seven at
17:05
Speaker 1: this point. The run that he's been on, I know,
17:07
Speaker 1: last week, no passing touchdowns, finally through an interception for
17:10
Speaker 1: the first time in quite some time. To me, I
17:13
Speaker 1: didn't doubt him, but you know, he's been through so
17:16
Speaker 1: much and with so many systems, I didn't know what
17:17
Speaker 1: it was going to look like. And I can say
17:20
Speaker 1: without a doubt the past four to six weeks he's
17:23
Speaker 1: won games for this football team by himself. I mean,
17:26
Speaker 1: there's it's been a group effort. The team's been playing amazing,
17:28
Speaker 1: but sometimes your quarterback has to win you game, and
17:31
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has been able to tap into that and
17:33
Speaker 1: do that and to be able to do it heading
17:35
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, Botes pretty well, Well.
17:37
Speaker 4: He's done it the last two weeks when he hasn't
17:39
Speaker 4: been as well protected. Right, He's been hit twenty two
17:42
Speaker 4: times against the Broncos and against.
17:44
Speaker 6: The Colts, and he still played at a high level.
17:47
Speaker 4: So whether everything around him was functioning at a high level,
17:49
Speaker 4: or whether things were broken down because of injuries or
17:52
Speaker 4: just the quality of a team is in case of Denver,
17:54
Speaker 4: he still got the job done.
17:56
Speaker 6: Whether he had doubt or him or not.
17:57
Speaker 5: We had never seen this and now that we're seeing
18:00
Speaker 5: this for the last five games. Look, five games is
18:03
Speaker 5: not a fluke. It's not a one off, it's not
18:05
Speaker 5: a trend. And this is what he is now and
18:07
Speaker 5: he's the biggest reason this team has a Super Bowl possibility.
18:11
Speaker 1: King of the South, that's what I'm gonna call it.
18:14
Speaker 1: Hopefully get the crown this Sunday as they go for it.
18:16
Speaker 1: Stay with here on Jagsaon we'll tell you what's coming up.

Speaker 2: be out there.
18:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd been out there.
18:48
Speaker 2: Listen.
18:48
Speaker 4: Jackson has got to walk up town reputation and there
18:51
Speaker 4: have been times in the past where we've wondered what
18:53
Speaker 4: the crowd's gonna look like, and it has been surprisingly good.
18:56
Speaker 4: I think it's got the chance to be very good
18:58
Speaker 4: on Sunday because people say, you know what, let's go
19:00
Speaker 4: see this thing.
19:01
Speaker 6: And then the playoff game I think will be excellent.
19:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a team that you want to see. It's
19:07
Speaker 5: a special season and Sunny's gonna be fine.
19:11

19:14
Speaker 5: Games, watch games, follow a team waiting to get to
19:17
Speaker 5: games like this.
19:19
Speaker 6: Yeah.
19:19
Speaker 4: Story, right, there's a story of this year in this team,
19:22
Speaker 4: and I think there's a lot of people who have
19:24
Speaker 4: seen it from afar, but who want to be.
19:26
Speaker 6: A part of it.
19:27
Speaker 1: I think a good point to me made me reminisce
19:28
Speaker 1: a little bit about some of those past teams to
19:31
Speaker 1: have been a part of it, I'm sure is very
19:33
Speaker 1: much memorable to you guys, and I think this is
19:35
Speaker 1: an opportunity, if you guys aren't on the bandwagon just yet,
19:38
Speaker 1: to come and be involved in this little playoff run
19:40
Speaker 1: that they're about to go on, because I think it's
19:42
Speaker 1: going to be one of the memorable ones.
19:43
Speaker 4: Well, since you say that, there's a tech thread going
19:45
Speaker 4: around from a lot of players and coaches who were
19:46
Speaker 4: here in the early days, and they're all asking questions
19:49
Speaker 4: about this team and the correlation between it. There's a
19:53
Speaker 4: bond that's formed in that and to share stories and
19:56
Speaker 4: make comparisons to the other teams. That's one we'll probably
20:00
Speaker 4: we'll get a lot of, maybe even talk about next week.
20:01
Speaker 4: Where does this team fit in the whole paradigm of
20:07
Speaker 4: Jaguars history, And it's pretty damn high up there, way
20:11
Speaker 4: up there.
20:12
Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for joining us on jag Zam for
20:13
Speaker 2: the regular season.
