• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jaguars, good luck, stop in that offense, and I know
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're playing a pretty damn good defense next week, but good luck stopping the Jaguar as often.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so explosive, it's so multiple.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can win on the outside.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can win running the ball.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can win intermediate.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can win deep down the middle.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they can win in the short passing game.
• 1:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lawrence is on an absolute heater right now.
• 1:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's remarkable to see exactly what's going on with this team.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean Trevor Lawrence now has 29 touchdowns, 0.9 touchdowns on the year, on pace to set a new career mark.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's playing as well as anyone's ever seen him play.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, that was against the jets.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're aware of that, but he's been playing good for the last, you know, I mean, he's been,
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: In my opinion, there was some ups and downs early on.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: There was too much inconsistency, but there was also a lot of inconsistency around him.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Things are settling down.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not just Trevor, but he is stepped up in a big way, making all sorts of absurd plays and really feeling confident.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the addition of Jacobi, the return of Britain strange, the settling down, over the last month or so of the left tackle and the right guard position,
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: things are going well on that offense and Liam Cohen is absolutely dialed that whole staff on offense is doing a great job.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lawrence just unbelievable.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's really been pretty cool to see these jackwars be able to handle the business.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: the way they have on the offensive side of the ball after how rocky it was.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was a little disappointing because you're like, you know, you have this brilliant head coach offensive mind, you have you thought Brian Thomas Jr. was a star, Travis Hunter early on and all these guys and it's just not quite coming together consistently, but they have hit their stride and they're hitting their stride at a really good time.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: A big part of that, we mentioned left tackle a little bit.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know, finding more consistency at that spot.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Colvane Lannon, I really think that, and we've talked about him, he needs to be the Jaguar starter moving forward.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Walker Little was technically questionable for the Jaguar as heading into this game, coming off the concussion protocol, was inactive, I don't know that he would have been active, had he been good to go.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Colvane Lannon is your starting left tackle right now.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's got to be.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of areas of the Jets roster that are lacking.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Edge is not really one of them.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got good edge players.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, good past pressures will make Donald as a really good player.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got Germaine Johnson, who's a quality player as well.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've got Climans.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: He did a really good job against that front.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not the best front you're ever going to play.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have a bigger test against the Broncos this coming week.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: We talk about that all the time, right?
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: The offense just seems to have a lot of the answers right now that you're looking for.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And no, it wasn't perfect.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, there are, I mean, you can point to Brian Thomas Jr. having some inconsistencies at the catch point in this game, which has been an issue throughout the year, but you know, he had some big moments too.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: He had the really good moments.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some missed opportunities too, but, you know, he's a little bit of an up and down,
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, well, the pre-snap penalties have gotten greatly reduced.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's looking really good on offense for the Jaguars.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Defense is still doing the job, too.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I know that gave up 20 points to the Jets a team that had not been really scoring 20 points per game over the last month or so.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: But a lot of that is just the fact that, I mean, you're steam rolling this team.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Your defense is on the field a lot because your offense is scoring so much and so quickly at times.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, and some of that is, you know, starters going out different things,
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: They did what they needed to do in this game in terms of they shut down Breeze Hall.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: When Breeze Hall was on the field and getting the ball, they did not let him get going.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I say a Davis, yeah.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, that's back up, some of that's a little bit of mop up, doody, things like that.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't a perfect run defense day, but they shut down the main threat of Breeze Hall.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You also had, you know, Brady Cook had some nice rushes as well.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Picked up almost 40 yards on the ground himself.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: without that.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, against running back, they did not give up a hundred yards today.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: They forced interceptions, which again, Brady Cook, he's gonna give you some of those.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you love to see the way they were getting some of those picks, like the Buster Brown pick was crazy.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Antonio Johnson pick, you know, just going up and over the receiver was crazy.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: My biggest thing though, right now that I'm super excited about with these guys is
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, camp, his post-nap cover rotations, they can be diabolical, and then all the different fronts that he presents as well can be like he is a difficult defensive coordinator to find sustained success against for sure.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But all the different guys right now that can generate pressure.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: He didn't have, I felt like Josh Heinz Allen for a while this season was
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: part of that was Trayvon Walker not being healthy all that stuff but you have obviously Josh Hinds Allen wreaking havoc.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have Eric Armstrong's dead who's known a good job on the interior.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have now BJ Green and Danny Strigo and we're going to have to see how Danny's doing this week because he had an ankle injury but BJ Green stepping up and making an impact as a pressure guy and then some of your other ancillary pieces doing a really good job in that regard as well and obviously your your
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: off-ball linebackers and Devon Lloyd and Dennis Gardeck, they can really get after it too.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So there's just a lot of ways they can generate pressure now.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not just on Josh Hines Allen.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And how did that get unlocked again?
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trayvon, getting healthy, Eric Armstrong stood stepping up his game from last year in a big way and continuing to improve.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, Strigo and Green getting those opportunities.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: that's really what you're seeing in my opinion so pretty good stuff there absolutely love it now
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Got to tell y'all about underdog fantasy, the best place to make picks and win money all season long, and it's winding down here.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: But playing on underdog is easy, just pick whether your favorite player will go higher or lower on stats like touchdowns, receiving yards, interceptions, and more.

• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jaguars, right, over Jets, that was pretty easy call for me.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jaguars Broncos, that's going to be a more difficult call.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: It absolutely is, and Jaguars Broncos is going to be must-see TV.
• 9:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I know there's good games towards the end of the year, but that is,
• 9:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: The number one seed in the AFC at home against the number three seed.
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, the Jaguar is cannot jump the Broncos, because the Broncos beat the packers, right?
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Broncos handled their business against the packers, so the Jags cannot jump the Broncos this week.
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: They could still technically catch them.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Broncos though, they'll have to beat the Broncos for sure in order for that to happen.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Broncos are 12 and two, the Jaguars are 10 and four.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Broncos after,
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: the jags face the chiefs on prime time and then the chargers back home in Denver.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, the chargers could technically get it done.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so if the jag wars and the chargers both beat the broncos, the jag wars could be in front of the broncos at the end of the year, I don't really expect that to happen at this point.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I don't mention the chiefs now because they just look like, you know, unfortunately for Patrick Mahomes, who I know a lot of people hate on Patrick Mahomes,
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's an icon in the NFL, a great ambassador of the sport and unbelievable player to watch, and I hate that he towards ACL, I absolutely hate that.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Personally, but that's going to make it difficult for the chiefs to be able to compete with the Broncos on Christmas night.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a tough road to try to get ahead of the Broncos.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not impossible, but it obviously starts with beating the Broncos this week in Denver.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the toughest game yet in my opinion of the season for the Jaguars, and as much as you're thinking about, okay, how can we possibly get a one or two seed and have home-field advantage throughout the first two rounds of the playoffs at minimum?
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: The division is not wrapped up.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so really, the Jaguars, they just have to be focused on one game at a time, and that's what they've been preaching all year long.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been working.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the division is not wrapped up.
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Texans beat the brakes off the cardinals.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they're going to be a team.
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jags don't get to play them again, obviously, at least not in the regular season.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: But they're a team where they do not have a very difficult schedule coming up.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Texans don't.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're nine and five.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're a game back.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: of the Jack Wars.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: You do not want to get any position where you have to get into one of these tiebreakers that goes down to like strength of victory or strength of schedule because the Jacks and the Titans have a lot of, you know, they have to go down the list of the tiebreakers as of right now.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the Texans finished the season against the Raiders at the Chargers, which that could be a tough game, and then versus the Colts.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so,
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You got to stay on your piece and cues, if you're, I mean, you got to win these games.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: You got to beat the Broncos, and I'm not saying the Jaguar is can't like win a road playoff game or a couple of road playoff games, but that's not the path you want to take.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: You've been a lot better at home than you have been on the road.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: When you talk about the Jaguar's road ahead outside of Denver, I don't think the culture going to lie down in week 17 either, I mean
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: the way that they were playing with Philip Rivers was getting the ball out quickly.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And getting the ball out quickly is kind of been one of the ways to have some success against this Jaguar as Anthony Campanile a defense.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: The other thing, coverage wise, a lot of what Anthony Campanile does is pretty similar to Jeff Hathley.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Denver Broncos, they just kind of went off against Jeff Hathley in the Packers defense.
• 12:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is tough, this is tough stuff, and the Jaguars, they're probably going to make the playoffs, right?
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: They already have 10 wins.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: But when it comes to winning the division, trying to get a top two seed, this is not written in stone.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, things can change quickly.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the Jaguars lose this game and the Texans go beat the, I mean,
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Things can change quickly, still.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguar is absolutely need to go to Denver and win.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they want to win their division, if they want to have home field.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think they should, they should want that.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know they do.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's been their internal goal for a long time.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: James Gladstone was talking about winning the division when it didn't even really seem very likely, right?
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now the Jaguar is our favorite to win the division.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're like 98, 99% chance to make the playoffs.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: All that good stuff.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You look at the Patriots too.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're currently the two seed.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: They just lost to the bills yesterday.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they have three losses.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jack Wars don't play them.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the Jaguars beat the Broncos, even if they don't pass and end up passing the Broncos because the Broncos going to take care of business the last two weeks of the season, they could, the Jaguars could still jump the Patriots to get to a top two seed.
• 14:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Patriots lost to the Bill's yesterday.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They saw of the Ravens, Jets and Dolphins.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the Jaguars and Patriots finish with the same record, like let's say the Patriots lose to the Ravens or the Dolphins, they're not going to lose to the
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the Jackson Patriots finish with that same record with four losses, whatever it may be, the Jaguar is currently have the advantage because of conference record and that tiebreaker.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, right now, if the Jackson Patriots have the same record, the Jaggs would jump the Patriots and be ahead of them because of that conference record tiebreaker.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jaggors have a much better conference record right now than the Patriots.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, Jaggs, if you beat the Broncos Colton Titans,
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: and Patriots lose a game, that tiebreaker is yours.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And again, that puts you having home field wildcard, you win the wildcard, you have home field divisional.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as the two seed, if the one seed doesn't make it to the conference title, which they only have to win one game to get there, right?
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if the one seed doesn't get to the conference title, you're hosting the FC Championship game.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: if you make it there.
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So a lot is still in front of them, but you've got to go through a team right now and dimmer that I know that there's like you can you can criticize different elements of that team, but the bottom line is, I mean, they've won 11 games in a row.
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're 11 and 12 and 2, they have 11 games in a row.
• 15:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: They beat the Bengals, the Eagles, the Jets, they barely beat the Jets.
• 15:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's some wins here that are not pretty.
• 15:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you beat the Jets by two points.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: You beat the Giants by one point.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Beat the breaks off the Cowboys, barely beat the Texans, barely beat the Raiders.
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Beat the Chiefs, barely beat the Command.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like they've played down to their opponents.
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: But both of these teams are gonna be jacked for this game.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They, I mean, they've played the Raiders twice already.
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: They won those games by a combined 10 points total, pretty crazy.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then they go beat the Packers.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: So like when they've played teams that are really good, which the chiefs were very good at the time.
• 16:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: They beat them.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Packers were very good at the time.
• 16:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: They beat them.
• 16:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Cowboys were trying to get hot.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Texans were starting to get hot.
• 16:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bottom line is winning 11 games in a row in the NFL.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty insane.
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Jack's out there work cut out for them.
• 16:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's top takeaways from the week that was.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jack Wars resounding victory 48 to 20.
• 17:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's great, it's fun, but ultimately, they still haven't guaranteed themselves anything.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: They gotta still continue to get this job done.
• 17:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all being here.
