Previewing Week 14 vs. Colts With Fred Taylor, Anthony Campanile and More · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

0:00
Speaker 1: Time for our countdown to kickoff interviews for week fourteen,
0:03
Speaker 1: JP Shadwick with you ahead of the Colts and Jaguars
0:06
Speaker 1: in a battle for first place in the AFC South.
0:09
Speaker 1: Let's start this week with Mike Dempsey's weekly conversation with
0:12
Speaker 1: CBS Sports senior writer and our Jaguars happy our co
0:15
Speaker 1: host Pete Frisco.
0:17
Speaker 2: Well, I think part of the thing is is they've
0:19
Speaker 2: been more physical, and when you're more physical at times,
0:23
Speaker 2: that leads to victories. But the other part of that
0:25
Speaker 2: is sometimes it gets in a team's head, like and
0:28
Speaker 2: when it gets in the team's head and all they
0:31
Speaker 2: hear all week leaning into a game is they haven't
0:33
Speaker 2: won there since twenty fourteen. I mean, you take the
0:36
Speaker 2: field knowing that, and it's a weird thing. In the NFL.
0:39
Speaker 2: I've seen it happen over and over again. A team gets,
0:42
Speaker 2: you know, inside another team's head and they have a
0:44
Speaker 2: hard time getting out from underneath it.
0:46
Speaker 3: All right, Well, Pete, looks like you know, in the
0:49
Speaker 3: sloppy weather forecast for today may wet in the field
0:53
Speaker 3: at times, and the Cults are a team that wants
0:54
Speaker 3: to run the ball, but sore of the Jags does
0:57
Speaker 3: weather play an advantage for either side. If it gets
1:00
Speaker 3: a little bit nasty.
1:01
Speaker 2: Today, well, I think ideally Jackson would like to throw
1:04
Speaker 2: it a little bit more. We know, with Daniel Jones
1:07
Speaker 2: being banged up, that's a problem for them, and he's
1:10
Speaker 2: a little stationary, so they're the ideal scenario is to
1:13
Speaker 2: run a lot of Jonathan Taylor. But I think when
1:17
Speaker 2: you look at Jacksonville, they want to be able to
1:18
Speaker 2: throw the ball. And I think Trevor Nx is coming
1:20
Speaker 2: off one of his best games. So if it's rainy
1:23
Speaker 2: and wet, I think that kind of plays to the
1:26
Speaker 2: advantage of the Colts in that scenario.
1:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Jonathan Taylor is a big part of the
1:30
Speaker 3: reason why they haven't had the success here. The jackson
1:32
Speaker 3: have done a good job and that goes back to
1:33
Speaker 3: your talking about being the more physical team. Jackson number
1:37
Speaker 3: one in run defense, but you know that's circumstantial at times.
1:42
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor having a hell of the year. Who's got
1:45
Speaker 3: the edge in that category today?
1:47
Speaker 2: Well, and you mentioned the number one ranking and run defense,
1:49
Speaker 2: and you got to get you know, I always say,
1:51
Speaker 2: look deeper at the yards per carry and that's pretty
1:53
Speaker 2: dark good too, So they've done a nice job, and
1:55
Speaker 2: I give a lot of credit that de Von Hamilton.
1:57
Speaker 2: He's been really good. You know what the Colts want
1:59
Speaker 2: to do. It's just a matter of getting physical at
2:02
Speaker 2: the point of attack. And that means all those guys
2:04
Speaker 2: on the interior of the defense. That means the edge
2:06
Speaker 2: guys have to set it and hold him from getting
2:08
Speaker 2: off the big play. And when he gets into the
2:11
Speaker 2: loop in the loose and he's going to you got
2:13
Speaker 2: to tackle him so a five yard run doesn't turn
2:15
Speaker 2: into a thirty five yard run. And I think that's
2:17
Speaker 2: the key. I look, is there an advantage, No, but
2:20
Speaker 2: I mean it's going to be hard to contain Jonathan Taylor.
2:23
Speaker 2: The big advantage you have, though, is that Daniel Jones
2:26
Speaker 2: can't move that well and we saw that last week.
2:29
Speaker 2: He only ran the ball one time. And if he
2:30
Speaker 2: can't move, that kind of limits what they do in
2:32
Speaker 2: that read zone read game.
2:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also you know, make some a stationary target
2:36
Speaker 3: to some degree in the pocket. Josh Heinzellen's been getting
2:39
Speaker 3: a ton of pressure lately. Does he need to have
2:41
Speaker 3: a big game if the Jags are going to post
2:43
Speaker 3: the w today?
2:44
Speaker 2: And you know, Mike, if they if they choke off
2:46
Speaker 2: the run, I think they can have a big day.
2:48
Speaker 2: It's a good offensive line, it's not a great offensive line.
2:51
Speaker 2: They played well. I think you've seen some overachievement there.
2:53
Speaker 2: But you saw pressure last week from the Texans. Now
2:55
Speaker 2: the Jaguars don't rush the rush the passer like the
2:58
Speaker 2: Texans do, but I think there's an opportunity. But if
3:01
Speaker 2: you get the run game going, that really slows down
3:04
Speaker 2: the pass rush and that'll be a problem. That's why
3:06
Speaker 2: Jonathan Tailor is the key to the entire thing. And amazingly,
3:10
Speaker 2: they sometimes get away from him. We've seen that in
3:12
Speaker 2: games where he doesn't get the carries he needs the
3:14
Speaker 2: beginning and so take him away, you win the game.
3:17
Speaker 2: Don't take him away, and you can have big problems, all.
3:20
Speaker 3: Right for the Jaguars. They you know, haven't gotten eye
3:22
Speaker 3: popping numbers out of Brian Thomas Junior obviously this year
3:25
Speaker 3: peed he's on pace for well under one thousand yards.
3:28
Speaker 3: He's only scored two touchdowns, one receiving, one rushing. But
3:31
Speaker 3: he did come back and I thought gave a little
3:33
Speaker 3: bit of a spark to the team last week. Very
3:35
Speaker 3: impressed with his hustle on the fifty yard catch and
3:38
Speaker 3: run by Jacoby Myers to get that downfield block. What
3:41
Speaker 3: could betj be for this team over the final five
3:44
Speaker 3: weeks of the season.
3:45
Speaker 2: You know, you saw a lot of good things out
3:46
Speaker 2: of him. It was just the block. I thought his
3:48
Speaker 2: route running was better, and I thought he was crisper
3:50
Speaker 2: and what he did he caught the football, he was
3:53
Speaker 2: more precise. And the thing is, and I think Jacoby
3:56
Speaker 2: Myers being there is a really good thing for him
3:59
Speaker 2: because when you watch Kobe Marrier, he's a pro. And
4:01
Speaker 2: when he's a pro, he knows how to run routes.
4:03
Speaker 2: He knows how to sit down in his own And
4:05
Speaker 2: it's one thing to have a guy like Tim Patrick
4:07
Speaker 2: come in who's also a pro, but he doesn't do
4:09
Speaker 2: a lot. Well, now you have a guy who's a
4:11
Speaker 2: pro who is doing a lot, and I think that
4:13
Speaker 2: kind of bleeds into the young receivers and into that
4:15
Speaker 2: receiver room. So I think it was a step in
4:18
Speaker 2: the right direction for Brian Thomas. Can they get him
4:20
Speaker 2: go into what I thought he would be before the season,
4:22
Speaker 2: Probably not, but he could be significantly better than what
4:24
Speaker 2: he was before he was out of the lineup.
4:26
Speaker 3: You mentioned Trevor Lawrence have played pretty well last week, Pete,
4:30
Speaker 3: what do you expect from him over the final month plus.
4:33
Speaker 2: I think there's a confidence thing going on with him,
4:35
Speaker 2: and it starts with I think Myers. I mean Myers.
4:38
Speaker 2: He knows where he's going to be. He knows he's
4:40
Speaker 2: a professional, he knows he'll sit down, he knows he
4:42
Speaker 2: knows how to get open. And I think that confidence
4:45
Speaker 2: of throwing to him kind of has bled out a
4:47
Speaker 2: little bit to the offense. Getting Strange back in the
4:50
Speaker 2: offense helps too. And I think William Code did a
4:52
Speaker 2: really good job of play calling last week, kind of
4:54
Speaker 2: getting guy scheming guys open. On the touchdown pass to Strange,
4:58
Speaker 2: you know, he had the tight end, the two tight
4:59
Speaker 2: ends that together of the side and Marris ran to
5:01
Speaker 2: the corner and he ran underneath it the to the
5:04
Speaker 2: post for a touchdown. And I think he's done a
5:06
Speaker 2: great job. So it's better. It's not quite, you know,
5:09
Speaker 2: and I thought last week was one of his best games.
5:11
Speaker 2: It's not quite driving the ball down the field on
5:13
Speaker 2: a consistent basis. But you didn't need to do that
5:16
Speaker 2: last week. Maybe this week you do.
5:17
Speaker 3: All Right, here we go, Pete, Late on the line.
5:19
Speaker 3: Who gets the W today?
5:21
Speaker 2: I'm not breaking that streak. You kidding me. I think
5:24
Speaker 2: Jacksonville gets to win. I think they're playing a physical
5:26
Speaker 2: brand of football. You stop Jonathan to tail or, you
5:29
Speaker 2: win the game, and I think they'll slow him enough
5:30
Speaker 2: that they can win the game. That streak remains, they
5:33
Speaker 2: win the football game.
5:34
Speaker 1: Ryan Sexton caught up with Jaguars rookie defensive end Danny Strigo.
5:39
Speaker 4: You think about it. We play a kid's game for
5:41
Speaker 4: a profession, So what else can you do other than
5:45
Speaker 4: go out there and have fun. That's the way I've
5:47
Speaker 4: tried to play my entire college career and bring it
5:50
Speaker 4: into the NFL. Obviously, you don't want to get, you know,
5:52
Speaker 4: two outside yourself and turn into goofy, but you know,
5:56
Speaker 4: just play with a smile on your face and go
5:58
Speaker 4: out there and have some fun.
5:59
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've asked your up this, but why didn't
6:01
Speaker 5: you get drafted? I mean, how in the world with
6:03
Speaker 5: the way that you're playing and the way that this
6:05
Speaker 5: team views you. I asked that question and people just
6:07
Speaker 5: shrug their shoulders.
6:08
Speaker 6: I don't know.
6:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, at this point, I don't really think about it.
6:11
Speaker 4: I knew coming into this year that all I needed
6:14
Speaker 4: was an opportunity just to go out and you know,
6:17
Speaker 4: prove what I can do, and you know, end up
6:19
Speaker 4: having to do it a little bit of a harder way,
6:21
Speaker 4: which you know, I'm grateful for because you know, it
6:24
Speaker 4: makes you really appreciate, you know how much you've put
6:27
Speaker 4: in to get here and you know, be able to
6:29
Speaker 4: keep that mindset in order to keep going.
6:31
Speaker 5: Tell me about the relationship with a guy in the
6:32
Speaker 5: locker next to you. You and bj Green both made
6:34
Speaker 5: the roster as undrafted rookie free agents, and you have
6:38
Speaker 5: both made impact plays over the last month.
6:41
Speaker 6: Did you feed off of each other?
6:42
Speaker 7: Absolutely? Yeah.
6:43
Speaker 4: We when we came into OTAs we grew close just
6:47
Speaker 4: because you know, playing the same position and going through
6:49
Speaker 4: the same things in similar scenarios and being able to
6:52
Speaker 4: go through camp together and making the roster together. It
6:54
Speaker 4: was huge and it's only brought us closer together, so
6:57
Speaker 4: you know, be able to learn off each other and
6:59
Speaker 4: have fun together and time together. It's been a blast.
7:02
Speaker 8: Now.
7:02
Speaker 5: The physical aspects of the game are obvious, but the
7:04
Speaker 5: mental side of it. When you come into camp as
7:06
Speaker 5: an undrafted rookie free agent, you have to have the
7:08
Speaker 5: right mindset to be able to get through camp and
7:10
Speaker 5: then to grow into the role that you've gotten.
7:13
Speaker 6: What was yours and how did you develop it?
7:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a day by day thing. If
7:17
Speaker 4: you sit there at the beginning of camp and you
7:18
Speaker 4: look like, oh, I've got you know, this many days
7:21
Speaker 4: of camp and this long of a season, like you're
7:23
Speaker 4: just gonna overwhelm yourself and everything's going to get super
7:26
Speaker 4: stressful and you're going to stress yourself out, and that's
7:28
Speaker 4: when you start to make mistakes. So if you come
7:30
Speaker 4: into each day like, hey, this is a new day,
7:32
Speaker 4: go out there, put my best on tape. Your tape
7:35
Speaker 4: is your resume, So you're only as good as your
7:37
Speaker 4: last play, and be able to wipe off the bad
7:40
Speaker 4: plays and learn from them and then not spend too
7:42
Speaker 4: much time on the good plays. You know that the
7:44
Speaker 4: days I always thought of camp as the days go slow,
7:47
Speaker 4: the week's go fast. So you might feel like the
7:49
Speaker 4: day's getting pretty long, But then you look up and
7:52
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, it's already the season. Preseason's over. Camp's over. Like,
7:55
Speaker 4: let's get ready to go now.
7:56
Speaker 6: So tell me about the room.
7:58
Speaker 5: Right, You've got forty one forty four when you got
8:00
Speaker 5: some established bets. How they pushed you, helped to challenge you.
8:04
Speaker 5: What have you gained from them?
8:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, that a lot of knowledge. I mean, these guys
8:08
Speaker 4: have seen they've forgotten more about football than I've learned.
8:11
Speaker 4: So being able to pick their brain and hear what
8:14
Speaker 4: they have to say, how they view the game, how
8:16
Speaker 4: they watch film, you know, how they attack their opponents
8:19
Speaker 4: each and every week. Being able to pick up on things,
8:21
Speaker 4: Hey I think that fits my skill set, or hey
8:23
Speaker 4: I think this fits your skill set, you know, things
8:25
Speaker 4: like that. Being able to learn from them and see
8:27
Speaker 4: how they view it, it's helped a lot.
8:29
Speaker 5: And the pass rush has really turned on the last
8:31
Speaker 5: couple of weeks, and listening to other guys, it sounds
8:34
Speaker 5: like it's been tweaked here and there. Anthony Campanili's is
8:36
Speaker 5: a very creative guy. What's happened in the last couple of weeks.
8:40
Speaker 5: You have to get the technical side of it, but
8:41
Speaker 5: what's happened the last couple weeks for the pass rush
8:43
Speaker 5: to really kick up?
8:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's nothing that's been out of body.
8:47
Speaker 4: I think we've done a really great job of figuring
8:50
Speaker 4: out during the week how to beat certain guys and
8:52
Speaker 4: certain teams and really applying it in the game, not
8:56
Speaker 4: necessarily doing an overhaul and changing a whole bunch of
8:58
Speaker 4: x's and o's and scheme.
8:59
Speaker 6: I think it's just the attention to.
9:01
Speaker 4: Detail has really gone up throughout the past couple of
9:04
Speaker 4: weeks as to how we're going to beat certain teams
9:06
Speaker 4: and how to succeed against these teams.
9:08
Speaker 5: Let's end on this. It's the Colts, right, They're eight
9:10
Speaker 5: and four. You're eight and four, You're playing for the
9:12
Speaker 5: division lead. It's a big game in December. We haven't
9:15
Speaker 5: enough of those around here in recent years in Jacksonville.
9:18
Speaker 6: People are excited. Do you feel that energy?
9:19
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
9:20
Speaker 4: You feel it each and each and every week we're home.
9:22
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter you know who we're playing or you
9:25
Speaker 4: know what the record is. You feel the fans every
9:26
Speaker 4: single week. Obviously we know the magnitude of this game,
9:29
Speaker 4: but you know it's just the next game. You know,
9:30
Speaker 4: you got to go out there and perform, just like
9:33
Speaker 4: you're playing any other team in the league.
9:34
Speaker 1: I caught up with the voice of the Indianapolis Colts,
9:37
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, this week, and there's plenty to dig into
9:40
Speaker 1: between Division rivals. It is Week fourteen. First place in
9:44
Speaker 1: the AFC South on the line, the Indianapolis Colts and
9:47
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. The voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor,
9:50
Speaker 1: joining us. Hey, December football, here we are.
9:53
Speaker 8: It's big, no question about it. Yeah you mentioned it.
9:56
Speaker 9: You got two eight and four teams, but it's kind
9:58
Speaker 9: of like two different types of eight and four. You
10:01
Speaker 9: have a surging eight and four, then you know, for
10:04
Speaker 9: lack of a better term, you've got a stumbling eight
10:06
Speaker 9: and four team. And not that long ago, JP, the
10:10
Speaker 9: Colts were very much in the driver's seat seven and one,
10:13
Speaker 9: and you know, a big dramatic win and overtime in
10:17
Speaker 9: Berlin right before the bye, and then at that point
10:20
Speaker 9: they're eight and two and in first place still not
10:23
Speaker 9: only in the division but in the conference as well
10:25
Speaker 9: in the AFC. But you know, teams keep on winning,
10:29
Speaker 9: and unfortunately here for the Colts, they've kind of stubbed
10:31
Speaker 9: their toe a little bit. They've lost back to back
10:33
Speaker 9: games for the first time this season, and they've lost
10:36
Speaker 9: three of their last four. So I think this is
10:38
Speaker 9: the first time all year that you can say they've
10:40
Speaker 9: hit some major adversity, kind of a crossroads. With five
10:44
Speaker 9: games to go, we're gonna find out who they really
10:47
Speaker 9: are and what they're really made of. With again, five
10:50
Speaker 9: games to play, but three of those games inside the division,
10:53
Speaker 9: two of them against the Jaguars, one against Houston. Still
10:57
Speaker 9: and you know, all three of those teams, Colts, Jaguars,
11:00
Speaker 9: Texans still very much in control of their own destiny.
11:03
Speaker 9: So you know, if you're Roger Gordell in the NFL,
11:05
Speaker 9: this is exactly what you want. You want a lot
11:07
Speaker 9: of parody, you want a lot of fan bases still
11:09
Speaker 9: and it's still interested late in the season.
11:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like it's anybody's game around the league.
11:14
Speaker 1: Not there's not really a powerful team overall in the
11:17
Speaker 1: NFL this year. Number one rusher Jonathan Taylor against the
11:21
Speaker 1: number one rushing defense.
11:23
Speaker 7: For the Jaguars.
11:24
Speaker 1: That's the matchup of this week from the Colt's perspective.
11:28
Speaker 1: And Jonathan Taylor, is this his best season so far?
11:32
Speaker 1: He's had some big ones in his past? Yeah, where
11:34
Speaker 1: does this one compare? You know? I think it is.
11:37
Speaker 9: And the reason why you know, I favor this season
11:41
Speaker 9: over other seasons because he has a complimentary piece in
11:46
Speaker 9: Daniel Jones, right, and not that he didn't have, you know,
11:49
Speaker 9: at times complimentary pieces in the past with guys like
11:53
Speaker 9: you know, you know, Carson Wentz and Gardner Minshew. But
11:57
Speaker 9: I just think the consistency this year Daniel Jones has
12:01
Speaker 9: really separated this season for Taylor over others. And you
12:05
Speaker 9: know Taylor in the past, he's had mega years before,
12:08
Speaker 9: as you know JP. I mean, he was the NFL's
12:12
Speaker 9: leading rusher. You know, he's the rushing champ in twenty
12:14
Speaker 9: twenty one, over eighteen hundred yards that year two years ago,
12:19
Speaker 9: or I should say last year in twenty twenty four,
12:21
Speaker 9: he was over fourteen hundred yards. But in neither of
12:24
Speaker 9: those seasons did the Colts make the playoffs, Right, So
12:27
Speaker 9: it can't be all about Jonathan Taylor. It can't be
12:30
Speaker 9: all about the running game. And I think that's where
12:33
Speaker 9: this season is a little bit different because the Colts
12:35
Speaker 9: aren't all about Jonathan Taylor, even though he's having a
12:38
Speaker 9: great individual statistical season. They have Daniel Jones to compliment him.
12:44
Speaker 9: In the passing game, right, the Colts have you know,
12:46
Speaker 9: three pass catchers right around seven hundred yards. You know,
12:51
Speaker 9: most teams would kill for that, right. The production they're
12:53
Speaker 9: getting from Pittman and Pierce and Tyler Warren who's a
12:56
Speaker 9: rookie tight end. So they're they're they're a little bit
12:59
Speaker 9: more a verse on offense this year, and I think
13:02
Speaker 9: that's helping Jonathan Taylor because in years past we get
13:05
Speaker 9: late in the season. And I'm not saying it hasn't
13:08
Speaker 9: happened at times this season, but normally you'd get to
13:11
Speaker 9: this point in the season and teams would have, you know,
13:13
Speaker 9: the book on the Colts and plenty of tape, and
13:15
Speaker 9: they'd say, all right, we got to stack the box
13:18
Speaker 9: load up to stop Jonathan Taylor and make other people
13:20
Speaker 9: beat us, And unfortunately for the Colts, it would kind
13:23
Speaker 9: of routinely work. You know, this year. Bigger picture, the
13:28
Speaker 9: box has lightened up a little bit. The defense is
13:30
Speaker 9: a little bit more spread out across the width of
13:32
Speaker 9: the field, which is helping Jonathan Taylor rip off bigger
13:35
Speaker 9: runs and become more efficient, which is helping his individual
13:39
Speaker 9: statistical season be a big one so far.
13:41
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts with us, how concerning
13:44
Speaker 1: is the Daniel Jones leg injury and how could that
13:47
Speaker 1: limit him?
13:49
Speaker 9: You know, so far it hasn't played a huge factor
13:52
Speaker 9: I think it's it's popped up in subtle areas, and
13:56
Speaker 9: I think the biggest one is it's his scrambling. I
13:59
Speaker 9: think he'll has you know you go by. I mentioned
14:01
Speaker 9: that Berlin game right before the bye. In that game,
14:05
Speaker 9: him scrambling out of the pocket was a big reason
14:07
Speaker 9: why they won that game. He had six scrambles about
14:10
Speaker 9: fifty yards rushing. But they faced a third and nineteen
14:13
Speaker 9: in that game. Excuse me, a third and twenty one.
14:15
Speaker 9: I beg your pardon. He picked up nineteen yards to
14:18
Speaker 9: get him in a very favorable fourth and two, which
14:21
Speaker 9: they went on to convert and then went on to
14:23
Speaker 9: win the game. In the last two games, he's only
14:25
Speaker 9: scrambled to combine two times, and there was an instance
14:29
Speaker 9: last week where the Colts had a fourth and one
14:32
Speaker 9: at the Texans nine yard line. The second quarter was
14:35
Speaker 9: kind of kind of a deceptively big part of the
14:38
Speaker 9: game with it being that early in the game and
14:40
Speaker 9: the Colts, instead of putting Daniel Jones under center to
14:44
Speaker 9: run a quarterback sneak, which he's been very effective doing
14:46
Speaker 9: this year, they motioned in Tyler Warren and they got
14:51
Speaker 9: kind of cute with it. They motioned them in and
14:53
Speaker 9: then he dipped under center and took a tight end
14:56
Speaker 9: sneak if you will, didn't handle the snap and it
14:59
Speaker 9: was kind of muffled and the Colts had to turn
15:01
Speaker 9: it over on down. So you know, there's a couple
15:04
Speaker 9: of little instances here and there where you know his
15:07
Speaker 9: mobility is being called into question. They really haven't drawn
15:11
Speaker 9: up a ton of design runs for him this year,
15:14
Speaker 9: which is kind of curious a little bit to me
15:18
Speaker 9: going into the season because we saw that obviously a
15:20
Speaker 9: lot last year within the aesthetics of the offense with
15:23
Speaker 9: Anthony Richardson. Obviously, Richardson's a different animal when it comes
15:26
Speaker 9: to just overall sheer athleticism than Daniel Jones. But it's
15:30
Speaker 9: not like Daniel Jones the statue, right, It's not like
15:32
Speaker 9: he's Gardner Minshew or Joe Flacco who the Colts have
15:36
Speaker 9: used at quarterback in the last couple of years. But
15:39
Speaker 9: you know, they really haven't run him a lot, you know,
15:41
Speaker 9: in the design running game, so that really is not
15:43
Speaker 9: all that different, I would say. Just the biggest difference
15:46
Speaker 9: is just him looking to get outside the pocket, them
15:49
Speaker 9: calling design bootlegs for him to roll out of the pocket.
15:52
Speaker 9: They really haven't seen a whole lot of that in
15:54
Speaker 9: the last couple of weeks since that sibular injury came
15:57
Speaker 9: to light.
15:59
Speaker 1: Matt, what's the bigger loss on defense, DeForest Buckner or
16:03
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner.
16:05
Speaker 9: That's a great question. I think you're probably splitting hairs.
16:07
Speaker 9: But if I have to pick one, it's probably beforest Buckner.
16:11
Speaker 9: I mean, he just means so much to that defense,
16:14
Speaker 9: and you know, believe it or not, the Colts. It's
16:16
Speaker 9: kind of a little bit of a deceptive stat but
16:19
Speaker 9: the Colts ranked fifth this year in team sacks, fifth
16:23
Speaker 9: in the NFL and team sacks with thirty five. But
16:27
Speaker 9: they are a very diverse They have a very diverse
16:30
Speaker 9: pass rush. It's kind of democratic. They play a lot
16:32
Speaker 9: of guys. I think they have nine guys with at
16:34
Speaker 9: least two sacks, So they don't have like that stud right,
16:38
Speaker 9: they don't have a will and Anderson or Daniel Hunter,
16:40
Speaker 9: or in the case of the Jaguars, you know a
16:42
Speaker 9: Josh heinz Allen, a guy that's gonna go out there
16:45
Speaker 9: and get you annually ten to twelve sacks. You know,
16:48
Speaker 9: they've got good edge rushers, guys like Quitty pay and Samson,
16:52
Speaker 9: Abacom Latu lat is still coming along. But I would
16:56
Speaker 9: say their best pass rusher overall is their defensive tackle
17:01
Speaker 9: into Forest Buckner. He is just the most disruptive guy
17:04
Speaker 9: they have on that defensive line, regardless of position, and
17:08
Speaker 9: so missing him the last couple of games has mental lots.
17:12
Speaker 9: You know, it's again too you kind of have to
17:14
Speaker 9: look at the minutia of this Colts defense. The point
17:16
Speaker 9: total they've given up the last two games has been
17:19
Speaker 9: pretty good, pretty respectable, you know, twenty three points in
17:22
Speaker 9: an overtime loss to the Chiefs, twenty points last week
17:25
Speaker 9: to the Houston Texans JP as. You know, those are
17:28
Speaker 9: very winnable numbers in the NFL. Right, you hold a
17:31
Speaker 9: team to around twenty points, you should have a pretty
17:33
Speaker 9: good chance of winning. They're doing a really good job
17:36
Speaker 9: of holding teams down inside the red zone, but they
17:39
Speaker 9: missed the Forrest Buckner in the sense of his ability
17:42
Speaker 9: to make plays on first and second down put teams
17:46
Speaker 9: in third and long, and that's been the killer for
17:49
Speaker 9: the Colts as they've given up a lot of time
17:51
Speaker 9: of possession in the last two games. I think the
17:54
Speaker 9: Texans and Chiefs have ball controlled the Colts to the
17:58
Speaker 9: tune of over seventy seven minutes the time of possession combined.
18:02
Speaker 9: So again, the point total is good. But when your
18:05
Speaker 9: defense is on the field for a long time and
18:07
Speaker 9: they're giving up big plays and then meanwhile the Colts
18:09
Speaker 9: offense is over there on the sideline just chilling, waiting
18:12
Speaker 9: to get back into the game, that's a bad recipe.
18:14
Speaker 9: So that's where I think they really missed. The Forrest
18:17
Speaker 9: Buckner is his game changing ability on first and second
18:20
Speaker 9: down to play the run, and he's also their best
18:23
Speaker 9: pass rusher on third down getting after the quarterback.
18:26
Speaker 1: All Right, Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts, with his
18:28
Speaker 1: last one here. The last time the Colts won a
18:31
Speaker 1: road game against the Jaguars was twenty fourteen. It was
18:35
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley's second year as the Jaguars head coach. There
18:38
Speaker 1: have been a few head coaches between then and now.
18:41
Speaker 1: For the Jags has been another story. What is that
18:45
Speaker 1: Is that discussed there? I mean, do you like coming
18:47
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville anymore? What's the feel?
18:51
Speaker 9: Oh? It is discussed? And I think the mission this year.
18:56
Speaker 9: I know you didn't ask me this question, but the
18:58
Speaker 9: mission this year within the fan base was to stop
19:01
Speaker 9: talking about two horrible streaks this year. The first one,
19:04
Speaker 9: which was eradicated was the opening game of the season.
19:08
Speaker 9: The Colts prior to this year hadn't won a Week
19:10
Speaker 9: one game since twenty thirteen, which is equally as inexplicable
19:15
Speaker 9: as the Jaguars dominance over the Colts at EverBank Stadium. Yeah,
19:21
Speaker 9: you mentioned all the changeover and the different head coaches
19:23
Speaker 9: for the Jaguars in that time. I mean, let's do
19:27
Speaker 9: a trivia question on how many Colts quarterbacks have lost
19:30
Speaker 9: in Jacksonville since twenty fourteen?
19:33
Speaker 4: Right.
19:33
Speaker 9: I don't know if you have a trivia question that sponsored,
19:35
Speaker 9: but there you go. I just laid it up on
19:37
Speaker 9: a tee for you. But it's really, like I said,
19:40
Speaker 9: it's inexplicable. And you know, as you know, I mean,
19:45
Speaker 9: some of these losses for the Colts have been to
19:47
Speaker 9: some sub par Jacksonville teams. You know, the most devastating
19:52
Speaker 9: loss in that series was the twenty twenty one regular
19:56
Speaker 9: season finale where the Colts all they had to do
19:59
Speaker 9: was win against I think like a two or three
20:02
Speaker 9: win Jacksonville team and they would have made the playoffs
20:04
Speaker 9: and obviously couldn't get it. Done, and that kind of
20:07
Speaker 9: set the franchise back and they moved on from Carson
20:10
Speaker 9: wins after that game and all these different things that
20:12
Speaker 9: we don't need to get into, but I think the
20:15
Speaker 9: biggest common denominator in these losses for the Colts have
20:19
Speaker 9: been Jacksonville's ability historically at home to control the line
20:23
Speaker 9: of scrimmage against the Colts and the Colts turnover margin.
20:26
Speaker 9: I went back and I looked it up this week
20:28
Speaker 9: just to refresh myself, but the Colts are minus thirteen
20:32
Speaker 9: in the turnover margin in these nine consecutive losses to
20:35
Speaker 9: the Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. So you really don't have
20:38
Speaker 9: to be a football savant to understand why the Colts
20:41
Speaker 9: have come up short down there is because they don't
20:43
Speaker 9: take good care of the football. And you mentioned Jonathan Taylor. Historically,
20:47
Speaker 9: he hasn't had really big games against the Jaguars on
20:50
Speaker 9: the road either, So I think, you know, those two things,
20:53
Speaker 9: getting him going to the running game and taking good
20:55
Speaker 9: care of the football is going to be paramount for
20:56
Speaker 9: the Colts.
20:58
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts, always the best and
21:01
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing the Colts here in Jacksonville again.
21:03
Speaker 1: We always are.
21:05
Speaker 8: I bet you are.
21:06
Speaker 1: I bet you are.
21:07
Speaker 9: Hopefully we'll see what happens.
21:09
Speaker 8: Just go around.
21:09
Speaker 9: It's always fun.
21:10
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton also caught up with Jags defensive coordinator Anthony
21:14
Speaker 1: Campanelli as they look for a way to stop Colts
21:16
Speaker 1: running back Jonathan Taylor.
21:18
Speaker 10: I think everybody's got to do a great job doing
21:19
Speaker 10: there one eleventh. You know, as cliche as that sounds,
21:21
Speaker 10: but you got to play square against a guy like that,
21:23
Speaker 10: you know, I think when you're you look at his
21:25
Speaker 10: big runs over the course not only the season, but
21:27
Speaker 10: his career. So many of those players are guys not
21:30
Speaker 10: being patient with their eyes in the gap or trying
21:32
Speaker 10: to do a little bit too much. You know, we're
21:34
Speaker 10: not being that disciplined at the line of scrimmage. So
21:36
Speaker 10: it takes all eleven, honestly, you know, a guy like
21:39
Speaker 10: that is going to make sure if you're not running.
21:42
Speaker 8: To the ball, you're gonna pay.
21:43
Speaker 10: So you got to really have a team tackling mentality,
21:46
Speaker 10: and that it's everybody who is involved in stopping and
21:48
Speaker 10: run against a guy like this.
21:49
Speaker 8: That question.
21:50
Speaker 5: I look at that eighty three yard touchdown in the
21:52
Speaker 5: fourth quarter against the Falcons in Berlin. It looked like
21:55
Speaker 5: he was down and he wasn't, so getting into the
21:58
Speaker 5: ground would seem to be the key.
22:00
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a huge part of it.
22:02
Speaker 10: He's a really patient runner, you know, and he really
22:04
Speaker 10: does a good job. It's almost like you got water
22:06
Speaker 10: in the basement. You know it's going to find a
22:08
Speaker 10: crack in there, so it comes up and comes out
22:11
Speaker 10: of there. If you don't do a great job tearing
22:12
Speaker 10: off the blocks, if you stay blocked against a guy
22:15
Speaker 10: like this, you're going to have a hard time. But
22:17
Speaker 10: the reality is their offensive line does a great job finishing,
22:20
Speaker 10: so a lot of those long runs are usually also
22:22
Speaker 10: the by product of their offensive line staying engaged in
22:25
Speaker 10: finishing blocks.
22:26
Speaker 5: What do you like about your run defense? I could
22:28
Speaker 5: point out it's number one in the NFL, but you've
22:29
Speaker 5: been very consistent. One guy's got more than sixty yards
22:32
Speaker 5: against you this year. What have you done well that
22:35
Speaker 5: sets you up to have a good Sunday afternoon.
22:37
Speaker 10: I think we just got a lot of good coaches
22:39
Speaker 10: here on this staff, to be honest with you. You know,
22:42
Speaker 10: our linebacker coach Tim Luca, but I think he's done
22:43
Speaker 10: a great job. I think Matt Edwards and Derek LeBlanc
22:46
Speaker 10: have done a great job with the front especially, and
22:49
Speaker 10: I think our defensive backs coaches are totally bought into
22:52
Speaker 10: everybody being part of the run defense and everybody stopping
22:54
Speaker 10: the run together.
22:55
Speaker 8: It's a collective.
22:56
Speaker 10: We meet as a unit a lot, and I appreciate
22:58
Speaker 10: everybody doing that, putting the time.
23:01
Speaker 8: Into that every day.
23:02
Speaker 10: I think the guys, it really it comes down to
23:05
Speaker 10: guys being self less, you know, and not being selfish.
23:09
Speaker 10: We got guys who were playing the run, trying to
23:11
Speaker 10: do their job and you know, all the while trying
23:14
Speaker 10: to rush the passers. So I think our defensive line
23:16
Speaker 10: has done a really good job playing square, playing with
23:18
Speaker 10: fundamentals and trying to get better at it each week.
23:20
Speaker 5: And both sides of the ball, not just the defense,
23:22
Speaker 5: but adjusted to guys being out in last week, you
23:26
Speaker 5: didn't have Eric Armstead, You've been playing without Trayvon Walker.
23:29
Speaker 5: How have you gotten that group to play at a
23:32
Speaker 5: different level, perhaps with guys like bj Green and Danny Strigout.
23:35
Speaker 10: I think that just speaks to the people more, the
23:37
Speaker 10: type of guys that they are. They're like such hard
23:40
Speaker 10: charging kids, They're just they're great guys to coach. They
23:44
Speaker 10: care about this team, they care about the other guys
23:46
Speaker 10: in the room. They don't want to let guys down,
23:49
Speaker 10: and when they get their opportunity, they're playing hard as hell.
23:51
Speaker 10: So that's why they're here, you know, that's why they
23:53
Speaker 10: made the team. We felt like they were those type
23:56
Speaker 10: of guys and when they had the opportunity to play,
23:58
Speaker 10: they would go out there and show out out and
24:00
Speaker 10: show everybody, you know, the type of guy to wear
24:02
Speaker 10: and how they were raised and all that stuff. So
24:03
Speaker 10: they bring that out in the field with them and
24:05
Speaker 10: they've been playing with a lot of pride, so proud
24:06
Speaker 10: of that.
24:07
Speaker 1: You know.
24:07
Speaker 5: We talk a lot about the talent, you know, Josh
24:09
Speaker 5: Heinz Allen and Trayvon Walker, but it's also about the
24:12
Speaker 5: team and that's it's a difficult thing to get to
24:16
Speaker 5: build that sort of culture in the team room, but
24:19
Speaker 5: you've got it with this team right now.
24:21
Speaker 6: They all seem to have bought in. Do you feel
24:22
Speaker 6: that I do.
24:23
Speaker 10: I think that's a credit to Liam, you know, just
24:27
Speaker 10: hammering that message every day. You know that we're not
24:29
Speaker 10: going to accept anything but your best, and it's about
24:33
Speaker 10: the guy next to you. And I think a lot
24:34
Speaker 10: of times in pro ball that can get lost that
24:37
Speaker 10: hasn't been lost here. It's a little bit more of
24:40
Speaker 10: a high school locker room where guys genuinely care about
24:43
Speaker 10: each other. They're trying to play their asshole for each other,
24:45
Speaker 10: trying to give us our best effort every day or
24:47
Speaker 10: their best effort every day at practice, in the meetings, everything,
24:50
Speaker 10: you know, And I know some of that sounds cliche,
24:52
Speaker 10: but but that's real.
24:53
Speaker 8: I've been able to experience experience that every day with
24:55
Speaker 8: these guys.
24:56
Speaker 7: Well.
24:56
Speaker 5: But it's not just the front too. I mean, Jari
24:58
Speaker 5: and Jones steps in, Monterrek Brown's back, the back end
25:00
Speaker 5: now gets Jordan Lewis back, and you've got Eric Murray
25:02
Speaker 5: who could be back for you this week.
25:04
Speaker 6: How much would it mean to have everybody together.
25:07
Speaker 10: I think it would mean a lot to get everybody back,
25:09
Speaker 10: but I think there's always a sober lining and the
25:13
Speaker 10: benefit that we have going down the stretches all these
25:15
Speaker 10: guys have played. Obviously, we wanted to have everybody out
25:18
Speaker 10: there the whole year, but in the NFL that's not
25:20
Speaker 10: always possible, and the older guys have done a great
25:23
Speaker 10: job of getting the younger guys ready to you know,
25:26
Speaker 10: they've been there, studying with them every step of the way,
25:29
Speaker 10: you know, helping those guys develop, and not really shutting
25:33
Speaker 10: them out from information, but including them in everything and
25:35
Speaker 10: helping those guys become better players. So when they had
25:37
Speaker 10: their opportunity to get out there, we were able to
25:40
Speaker 10: have success because you know, that's that kind.
25:43
Speaker 8: Of speaks to what I was saying before.
25:45
Speaker 10: They all genuinely care about each other and want to
25:46
Speaker 10: see each other do well, and I think that was
25:48
Speaker 10: a big part of why we were able to have
25:49
Speaker 10: success through that stretch where guys were injured.
25:51
Speaker 5: By a final thought, Daniel Jones, the quarterback, had one
25:54
Speaker 5: of those guys who's found a resurgence in his career.
25:57
Speaker 5: He's battling with an injury now, but how dangerous is
26:00
Speaker 5: he from the pocket?
26:01
Speaker 8: He's super dangerous. I think he's a great thrower.
26:04
Speaker 10: Coached against him a couple other times when I was
26:07
Speaker 10: in Miami. Just watching him over the years, I've always
26:11
Speaker 10: felt he's a really accurate thrower. The one thing he
26:13
Speaker 10: is he's a really tough kid. He's a tough guy,
26:15
Speaker 10: I should say, you know, and watching him throughout his career,
26:19
Speaker 10: he'll hang in there. Now, you know, there's guys at
26:21
Speaker 10: his feet up around him when he's throwing the football.
26:24
Speaker 8: He's still throwing it really, really accurately.
26:26
Speaker 10: He's probably having the best year statistically of his career,
26:29
Speaker 10: but yeah, he's he definitely presents some issues in the
26:31
Speaker 10: pocket for sure.
26:32
Speaker 5: I know it's just the next game on the schedule,
26:34
Speaker 5: but it's a big one for folks here in North Florida.
26:36
Speaker 5: Kind of feels that, doesn't it.
26:37
Speaker 8: Absolutely, it's a huge game.
26:39
Speaker 10: You know, we understand that, and obviously it's those are
26:42
Speaker 10: the stakes are high every week.
26:43
Speaker 8: But we're excited division game, you know.
26:46
Speaker 10: I think the guy's attention to detail has been great
26:48
Speaker 10: these last few weeks and down the stretch, really the
26:51
Speaker 10: entirety of the season, and you do all that work
26:53
Speaker 10: to get in to this point, you know, for these
26:55
Speaker 10: big games here at the end.
26:56
Speaker 1: And finally, our weekly conversation with Pride to the Jaguars
26:59
Speaker 1: running back Fred Taylor, Fred is pretty simple this week
27:03
Speaker 1: Colts Jaguars, both teams eight and four, first place on
27:07
Speaker 1: the line. Don't get much bigger in the regular season.
27:10
Speaker 7: Coach Tweak, can I stuwit up?
27:12
Speaker 11: I mean, I might got a few carries left for
27:14
Speaker 11: me I know the formula, I think, and I think
27:17
Speaker 11: it applies to this particular matchup. Run the ball, man,
27:21
Speaker 11: You gotta run the ball. Take a pay for me
27:23
Speaker 11: and Mojo. Same old coats, good record, very competitive group,
27:30
Speaker 11: get after their quarterback a bit. Stop the run, run
27:33
Speaker 11: the ball, stop the run is the formula, but it's
27:36
Speaker 11: coach tweak man. I don't believe I've had a bigger
27:39
Speaker 11: smile on my face for a matchup this season than
27:44
Speaker 11: this one so much as Steak just a great environment.
27:48
Speaker 11: I believe it's gonna take place in and that we
27:51
Speaker 11: act Duvall County early.
27:53
Speaker 7: In the week to show up.
27:54
Speaker 11: I believe they are and they're gonna be the de
27:57
Speaker 11: term help be the deciding factor.
28:00
Speaker 7: Jaguars getting his win and you.
28:02
Speaker 1: Know what, the Jaguars earned this spotlight, right. I mean,
28:04
Speaker 1: they've won four out of five since by week. They
28:06
Speaker 1: found different ways to do It hasn't been pretty, but
28:09
Speaker 1: it's been gritty and they're right there. As Liam Cohen said,
28:13
Speaker 1: they're not gonna apologize for wins around here.
28:16
Speaker 7: Oh as you should.
28:17
Speaker 11: You shouldn't have to apologize for winning, and you shouldn't
28:21
Speaker 11: have to apologize for losing. I mean those things happen.
28:24
Speaker 11: It comes with the territory. I hear you learn from losing, right,
28:28
Speaker 11: supposed to learn from your losses. And you go back
28:31
Speaker 11: to two of the losses they should have won, and
28:34
Speaker 11: two of the losses here you know they really didn't
28:37
Speaker 11: stand a chance of winning. But they were able to
28:40
Speaker 11: learn from those games, and I think they know what
28:43
Speaker 11: their identity is. We have to run the football, We
28:46
Speaker 11: have to protect the quarterback. The quarterback has to utilize
28:51
Speaker 11: his legs to get up out of get them out
28:54
Speaker 11: of certain situations. The defense has to continue to play
28:58
Speaker 11: ben but don't break. They also any pressure from time
29:01
Speaker 11: to time, and they should be hungrier this week, knowing
29:05
Speaker 11: the opposing quarterback has some sort of you know, crack
29:09
Speaker 11: bones or broken bones, whatever the reports have been.
29:12
Speaker 7: He's banged up. Get after him, bang him up some more,
29:15
Speaker 7: walk away with a win.
29:17
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us or you mentioned you wanted to
29:20
Speaker 1: shoot up, but unfortunately the only Taylor wearing twenty eight
29:23
Speaker 1: is going to be on the other side today. Jonathan Taylor,
29:26
Speaker 1: the number one rusher of the National Football League. Give
29:30
Speaker 1: us a scouting report. What do you like about him?
29:32
Speaker 11: Everything? I mean, that's the simple answer. Everything we text yesterday.
29:37
Speaker 11: I told him I'll meet him on the field Sunday,
29:41
Speaker 11: you know, just to chop it up with him.
29:42
Speaker 7: Man.
29:43
Speaker 11: I've kept in touch over the years, even in his
29:45
Speaker 11: down times when he was going through his injuries, and
29:48
Speaker 11: we've become pretty good friends. So you know, he's an
29:52
Speaker 11: amazing player. I love seeing him run down the field
29:55
Speaker 11: that Taylor twenty eight. It just marries up perfectly to
30:00
Speaker 11: who I used to be as a player. I think
30:03
Speaker 11: we have some similarities in our game. I believe I
30:06
Speaker 11: was a bit faster, but he has to shiftingness, the
30:08
Speaker 11: jump cut ability, he can run you over, he can
30:11
Speaker 11: make you miss, and he can't get missing. I was
30:14
Speaker 11: just a tad bit faster, and he does so much
30:17
Speaker 11: in their game. He has tremendous hands and it goes
30:21
Speaker 11: through him. You know, if you can slow him down,
30:23
Speaker 11: the coach will struggle. But twelve games in he's eighteen
30:29
Speaker 11: yards shy of thirteen hundred yards, so he's averaging well
30:33
Speaker 11: over one hundred yards per game.
30:35
Speaker 7: And if you give him a crack, you're gonna regret it.
30:38
Speaker 11: So you gotta make sure everybody's in their gap, playing
30:41
Speaker 11: gap integrity, playing great discipline football on the backside.
30:45
Speaker 7: It's a lot when it comes to him.
30:48
Speaker 11: So he's gonna test their discipline and they're gonna have
30:51
Speaker 11: to be ready for the challenge.
30:52
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with US the Jaguars defense is number one
30:55
Speaker 1: in the NFL against the run, which is positive. That'll
30:59
Speaker 1: be tested certainly this week. But they've done some things
31:02
Speaker 1: here with some injuries recently. Eric Armstead didn't play last week,
31:05
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker didn't play. They might get Eric Murray back
31:08
Speaker 1: this week. So the positive thing that at least we
31:13
Speaker 1: think most of these injuries are not season ending, So
31:16
Speaker 1: in theory they're gonna get more guys back as the
31:19
Speaker 1: weeks go along here, and that gives you some real
31:23
Speaker 1: hope down the stretch here in December.
31:24
Speaker 11: Yeah, it does give you a hope, a lot of
31:26
Speaker 11: optimism there knowing that you can get some of these
31:29
Speaker 11: guys that were starters earlier in the season back. Having
31:33
Speaker 11: starts back, the communications should be faster, you know, the
31:37
Speaker 11: familiarity should be there, and the confidence amongst the players
31:42
Speaker 11: you know should be there when you look to your
31:44
Speaker 11: right or you left knowing that these guys you can
31:47
Speaker 11: depend on and you could trust. But at the same time,
31:50
Speaker 11: JP I've also been a part of teams where you
31:54
Speaker 11: want to have certain guys back, but if the momentum
31:58
Speaker 11: is there and the guys that are out there playing well,
32:01
Speaker 11: you don't want to lose that chemistry either. So it
32:04
Speaker 11: comes down to the coach's decisions on which guys they're
32:08
Speaker 11: gonna have out there. But the good thing is two
32:11
Speaker 11: is better than one, right, Having multiple guys that can
32:14
Speaker 11: get the job done is always better because injuries happen,
32:18
Speaker 11: and they happen at you know, different points throughout the
32:20
Speaker 11: course of the game. So you know, have not that
32:23
Speaker 11: guys back going to be good for the Jaguars. But
32:27
Speaker 11: I question whether the momentum, you know, in the chemistry
32:32
Speaker 11: with the guys that have been out there throughout these
32:34
Speaker 11: past weeks, will that be effected is always the question.
32:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're getting contributions from some undrafted players and some
32:42
Speaker 1: deep down the depth chart, which is great to see.
32:44
Speaker 1: Let's finish with this today, Fred, I'm sure you see
32:47
Speaker 1: the postgame locker room videos from Liam Cohen, right, how
32:53
Speaker 1: would you have loved to play for Liam? And what
32:55
Speaker 1: do you think about the energy that he has brought
32:58
Speaker 1: to this team?
32:59
Speaker 11: You know, I love the energy just to answer that
33:02
Speaker 11: first and foremost. I think you're supposed to get that
33:05
Speaker 11: from a younger coach, right. I can't see coach Coughlin
33:09
Speaker 11: bopping around, you know, in there. And even Jack when
33:13
Speaker 11: I played for Jack there, he was a bit older, right,
33:17
Speaker 11: younger than coach Coughlin, but.
33:19
Speaker 7: Older than Liam. You know, Liam is hip.
33:23
Speaker 11: He knows all of the slang and you know, all
33:26
Speaker 11: this hip hop stuff and he fits that group man.
33:31
Speaker 11: And I think the one asset that he brings to
33:34
Speaker 11: the table is he's black and white. Black and white,
33:37
Speaker 11: you know, there's no gray when it comes to Liam.
33:40
Speaker 11: He what you see is what you get, And I
33:43
Speaker 11: love that from coaches that I've played with in the past.
33:47
Speaker 11: You respond better, you get a better response from from players.
33:52
Speaker 11: But more than anything, he's steady. You know, he's consistent,
33:55
Speaker 11: and you have to be that way otherwise you'll lose
33:58
Speaker 11: the players, you'll lose the leadership, and you lose the
34:01
Speaker 11: locker room. And that's the one thing as a coach
34:04
Speaker 11: you have to be able to avoid. So he's been
34:08
Speaker 11: tested in their losses, he's been steady. He's been tested
34:12
Speaker 11: in their wins. He's been steady, and I think that's
34:15
Speaker 11: the one thing that I respected and admired most about Liam,
34:20
Speaker 11: even in our conversations, he's, you know, the same guy.
34:24
Speaker 11: He doesn't switch up on you. So starting there, man,
34:28
Speaker 11: they got a shot with him so and he has
34:31
Speaker 11: my full support.
34:32
Speaker 1: And they've got shot down the stretch, they control their
34:35
Speaker 1: own destiny for the division and beyond five games to
34:39
Speaker 1: go to against the Colts, here we go. Fred December football.
34:45
Speaker 11: December football, man. This is when you separate yourself. Run
34:48
Speaker 11: the ball, stop the run. I believe it was around December.
34:53
Speaker 11: It was early December when we broke those records against
34:57
Speaker 11: the Colts. Hopefully these guys can break those records and
35:00
Speaker 11: I know that'll be a guaranteed w if they do.
35:04
Speaker 1: Thank you, Breed, we'll talk to you the post game.
35:06
Speaker 7: All r JP always good tappling upwards.
35:09
Speaker 1: Colts Jaguars Week fourteen, Both teams eight and four, first
35:14
Speaker 1: place on the line in the AFC South. Enjoy the game.
