- 0:28Speaker 2: They did what? The Jacksonville Jaguars won this game at
- 0:33Speaker 2: the very end after trailing with seconds to go. 19-17,
- 0:39Speaker 2: Jags on top of the Philadelphia Eagles. That is your
- 0:42Speaker 2: final today. Jaguars postgame brought to you by GEHA, Government
- 0:45Speaker 2: Employees Health Association. Benefit for federal employees and retirees. And
- 0:51Speaker 2: a little bit different lineup for the postgame today as
- 0:54Speaker 2: we got the guys doing their duty over in London.
- 0:56Speaker 2: We're back here in the States in Jacksonville. I'm Mike
- 1:00Speaker 2: Dempsey along with Coach Mark Duffner. Coach, it was an
- 1:04Speaker 2: afternoon of a roller coaster of emotions for Jacksonville Jaguar fans.
- 1:08Speaker 3: No doubt about it. But as Yogi Beres says, it's
- 1:10Speaker 3: not over until it's over. And praise the Lord that, again,
- 1:13Speaker 3: Abdullah has a great return. And, again, what can you
- 1:18Speaker 3: say again about Cam Little?
- 1:19Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:19Speaker 4: Unbelievable.
- 1:20Speaker 2: I mean, he piped it, you know, when he had
- 1:22Speaker 2: to have it. And I'm questioning, has Cam had many
- 1:26Speaker 2: clutch kicks, right? Because when the Jacks were winning eight
- 1:29Speaker 2: in a row last year, they were blowing people out
- 1:32Speaker 2: every single week. You know, he missed the one in
- 1:34Speaker 2: the playoffs. He missed one earlier this year in Denver
- 1:36Speaker 2: that could have given them the lead.
- 1:38Speaker 5: So, hey.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Clutch, that was all about clutch. And by the way,
- 1:42Speaker 2: what a tremendous job Logan Cook did catching those high
- 1:46Speaker 2: snaps all day. I'm not picking on Devon Hamilton here.
- 1:49Speaker 2: He's not expecting to have to snap the ball. I
- 1:52Speaker 2: know that was something he used to do. I don't
- 1:53Speaker 2: know how much practice he gets these days, Coach.
- 1:56Speaker 6: Well, let me tell you this.
- 1:57Speaker 3: He looked like Manute Bull going up to get some
- 1:59Speaker 3: of those. I'm telling you right now. So, again, great
- 2:02Speaker 3: job by him.
- 2:03Speaker 2: All right, we got Fred Taylor joining us now here
- 2:06Speaker 2: on the postgame. Mark Dumpner, Mike Dempsey, and Freddie T. Fred,
- 2:10Speaker 2: what a spectacle today at the end of this ballgame
- 2:13Speaker 2: for the Jags to pull it out in the final seconds.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Hey, how's it going, guys?
- 2:17Speaker 7: Dude, bro, that's what I'm talking about. I'm trying to
- 2:22Speaker 7: figure out if I'm going to get fined for my
- 2:25Speaker 7: profanity-laced tweets at the.
- 2:27Speaker 4: End of the game, but I think it was well-deserved. Man,
- 2:31Speaker 4: you know what?
- 2:31Speaker 7: Not the best game from an operational standpoint. A lot
- 2:35Speaker 7: of stuff they got to go and clean up. I mean,
- 2:38Speaker 7: at this very moment, none of that matters. They got
- 2:40Speaker 7: the win. I'm sure they're going to enjoy that. But
- 2:44Speaker 7: it's very much a red flag. Back-to-back weeks, the amount
- 2:48Speaker 7: of penalties they've had, the operations, and getting the ball out,
- 2:52Speaker 7: getting the playoff. They got called for two delay games back-to-back.
- 2:58Speaker 7: That was creeping up on him the entirety of the game.
- 3:01Speaker 7: So Liam has to be better. Whoever's getting the call ball,
- 3:04Speaker 7: the plays out to Trevor, they have to be much
- 3:07Speaker 7: more efficient. Otherwise, this is going to linger, and this
- 3:10Speaker 7: is going to cost them some games as it almost
- 3:13Speaker 7: cost them today.
- 3:14Speaker 2: You said it right, Freddie. I think right now, nothing
- 3:16Speaker 2: matters in this moment. You've got the victory, and that's
- 3:19Speaker 2: really all you focus on. This would have been a
- 3:22Speaker 2: devastating loss. Not that Philadelphia isn't a really good team,
- 3:25Speaker 2: but the state of affairs with the injuries on the
- 3:28Speaker 2: offensive line. Freddie, you talk about some of these warning signs. Yes,
- 3:32Speaker 2: the operations were bad. I would have expected the Jaguars'
- 3:35Speaker 2: pass rush to have a chance to tee off today
- 3:38Speaker 2: on Jalen Hurts against a bunch of backup offensive linemen,
- 3:42Speaker 2: and it didn't happen, Fred. What did you see from
- 3:44Speaker 2: the Jaguars' defensive line?
- 3:46Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought I saw some pressure early on, but
- 3:49Speaker 7: then they were rushing five, you know, some zone blitzes
- 3:53Speaker 7: sprinkled in here and there, but I didn't see much
- 3:55Speaker 7: pressure simply with a four-down rush, which would have allowed
- 3:59Speaker 7: them the luxury of play a lot of zone behind.
- 4:03Speaker 7: So much like you, Mike, I thought they would have
- 4:05Speaker 7: taken advantage of the injuries, certainly across the offensive line
- 4:10Speaker 7: by the Eagles.
- 4:11Speaker 4: But I didn't see that.
- 4:14Speaker 7: But on the flip side, I saw Jalen Carter have
- 4:17Speaker 7: a ball pro monster day. And we got to figure
- 4:21Speaker 7: out that when we have these type of matchup schematically,
- 4:24Speaker 7: we have to help the guys up front.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Otherwise, you're going to have these type of outcomes.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody had a chance, Coach, to handle Jalen Carter
- 4:33Speaker 2: one-on-one today. Didn't have a prayer to slow him down,
- 4:37Speaker 2: and he was a wrecking ball. But look, you know,
- 4:40Speaker 2: the Jags kind of scraped it together, did not play
- 4:43Speaker 2: anything close to their best game. Do you, like Fred said,
- 4:46Speaker 2: you got to get a lot of things cleaned up, right?
- 4:48Speaker 2: We're sitting here, like the first half, the penalties were
- 4:52Speaker 2: all being called on Jacksonville outside the opening kickoff return, Freddie,
- 4:55Speaker 2: where it was two offsetting on each team. The Eagles
- 4:57Speaker 2: didn't get called for a single penalty in the first half. Coach,
- 5:01Speaker 2: do you think the Jags earned most of what they
- 5:03Speaker 2: got in the penalty department today?
- 5:04Speaker 6: I hate to say it. I think they did. I
- 5:06Speaker 6: think they did.
- 5:07Speaker 3: I mean, geez, Pete, like we talked about, I mean,
- 5:09Speaker 3: it was early in the game when we already had
- 5:11Speaker 3: five penalties by us. We wound up with 13 for
- 5:14Speaker 3: 100 yards. And, you know, last year we struggled with
- 5:17Speaker 3: the penalty situation last year. Now, we started the year
- 5:20Speaker 3: off pretty doggone well. We were in the top five in.
- 5:23Speaker 6: Terms of least penalties.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Being penalized but the last two weeks we're leading the
- 5:27Speaker 3: league we literally lead the league i think it's 22
- 5:30Speaker 3: or 23 total penalties that leads the league right now
- 5:33Speaker 3: it's got to get fixed.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this for the Jags defense, Freddie. Early on,
- 5:37Speaker 2: it was a little shocking with the Eagles having come
- 5:39Speaker 2: in with 17 consecutive failed third down conversion attempts. They
- 5:44Speaker 2: were 0 for 12 last week. They were 0 for
- 5:46Speaker 2: their last 17. Jags allowed them to convert four of
- 5:49Speaker 2: their first six, but only two of their last nine.
- 5:52Speaker 2: So I think whether it was the coverage, whether the
- 5:55Speaker 2: pressure was getting to Jalen Hurts, whatever it was, the
- 5:58Speaker 2: Jags defense picked it up in that department as the
- 6:00Speaker 2: game went on.
- 6:01Speaker 7: Yeah, and I do want to take a moment to
- 6:05Speaker 7: give love to both fronts. The defensive front, I'll start
- 6:11Speaker 7: with them. We didn't see a ton of pressure early on,
- 6:15Speaker 7: but they had pressure when it mattered in pressure situations.
- 6:19Speaker 7: They did well. Offensively, again, started slow. A lot of
- 6:24Speaker 7: pressure from the Eagles offensive front. But there were moments
- 6:29Speaker 7: when they really got after him in the run game.
- 6:32Speaker 7: I think the Eagles defensive front sort of slowed down.
- 6:36Speaker 7: And then our guys sort of took advantage. You saw
- 6:39Speaker 7: a few runs by Tootin here and there turning that
- 6:41Speaker 7: defensive up. And they found a way to start executing
- 6:46Speaker 7: better offensively. But still a ton that they have to
- 6:50Speaker 7: work on if they want to be.
- 6:51Speaker 4: A great team.
- 6:52Speaker 2: All right, a lot more to do here from the
- 6:53Speaker 2: Hyundai Studios, the Jaguars Radio Network presented by UF Health,
- 6:57Speaker 2: the official healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Final score here,
- 7:02Speaker 2: 19-17 in London in favor of your Jacksonville Jaguars. This
- 7:07Speaker 2: is Jaguars Postgame on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars postgame continues. Mike Dempsey,
- 7:16Speaker 2: Fred Taylor, and Mark Duffner. Today's game presented by Bud Light,
- 7:19Speaker 2: the official beer of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Right now, let's
- 7:22Speaker 2: go back to London and head to the Everbank Vault.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks with Amir Abdullah.
- 7:27Speaker 6: Bucky?
- 7:29Speaker 4: Thanks, guys.
- 7:29Speaker 8: Amir, let's just talk about the big kickoff return. Talk
- 7:33Speaker 8: about it. How'd you know how to get down?
- 7:34Speaker 9: Man, we got the perfect call with the perfect kick.
- 7:38Speaker 9: You know, we knew that we could hit him in
- 7:40Speaker 9: the alleys. That's the one that Josh Cameron had one
- 7:42Speaker 9: callback earlier in the game. So we knew if we
- 7:44Speaker 9: got the right kick, we had an opportunity. And having
- 7:47Speaker 9: a kicker like Cam Little, we knew if we got
- 7:49Speaker 9: anywhere near the midfield, get down and let him handle
- 7:52Speaker 9: the job.
- 7:52Speaker 6: And, man, we're just.
- 7:55Speaker 9: You know, it's not over until it's over. You know,
- 7:57Speaker 9: and I saw things kind of open up for me.
- 7:59Speaker 9: And when I made the kicker miss, I kind of
- 8:01Speaker 9: was thinking, like, I got to get down. But the
- 8:03Speaker 9: clock here is a little different than what it is.
- 8:05Speaker 6: USA was a little bit lower.
- 8:06Speaker 9: So I saw the last minute was at two seconds.
- 8:08Speaker 9: So I just darted down when I could. And luckily,
- 8:11Speaker 9: we were able to get the time stopped.
- 8:12Speaker 8: You know, it's funny because Liam always talks about situation awareness,
- 8:14Speaker 8: and even in your explanation you were talking about, we
- 8:16Speaker 8: talked about get to midfield and get down.
- 8:18Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 8:19Speaker 8: To me, you wouldn't think that that would be the
- 8:21Speaker 8: thought process, but that's so amazing. So talk about how
- 8:24Speaker 8: you guys talk about situations and understand how to execute
- 8:26Speaker 8: in those moments.
- 8:27Speaker 9: Yeah, we have situational things come up in practice all
- 8:31Speaker 9: the time, and this is something that we practice. We
- 8:33Speaker 9: understand that around eight seconds left, if we're looking to
- 8:37Speaker 9: get in a Hail Mary situation or if we're looking
- 8:39Speaker 9: with a kicker like ours who can kick it from
- 8:41Speaker 9: 60 to 70 yards, if we get in a certain
- 8:44Speaker 9: range on the field, we're agreeing to get down. It's
- 8:48Speaker 9: kind of similar to like a Rolex situational offense. When
- 8:50Speaker 9: after you get the first down, get down. So Quentin
- 8:54Speaker 9: Morris did a great job kicking out on the two.
- 8:56Speaker 9: Once we got to the two, I felt like we
- 8:57Speaker 9: needed a little bit more just to get past the kicker.
- 8:59Speaker 6: And once we did that, I knew we were safe
- 9:01Speaker 6: and sound.
- 9:02Speaker 8: Oh, so let's talk about your experience with the Jaguars.
- 9:04Speaker 8: What have you learned from this team just through? Five games,
- 9:06Speaker 8: sitting there 4-1. What have you learned about the spirit
- 9:08Speaker 8: of the squad?
- 9:08Speaker 6: Man, the resolve on this team is special.
- 9:11Speaker 9: You know, I've never played with a team like this
- 9:12Speaker 9: that it's not over until it's over. These guys fight
- 9:16Speaker 9: through adversity. We start off slow. Another big penalty game
- 9:19Speaker 9: where we're shooting ourselves in the foot. But it seems
- 9:21Speaker 9: like guys just get stronger and stronger with every rep.
- 9:24Speaker 6: Think about Bashaw too today. You know, start off slow,
- 9:26Speaker 6: start running the ball, getting downhill. He was a guy
- 9:28Speaker 6: who was getting better with every single rep. rep he got.
- 9:30Speaker 6: Same thing with Trevor Lawrence.
- 9:32Speaker 9: And that just shows me the resolve and the toughness
- 9:35Speaker 9: and just the experience these guys have been through with
- 9:37Speaker 9: being down, being up, and understanding that it's all the same.
- 9:40Speaker 8: Well, look, man, it was a great play. Great win.
- 9:43Speaker 8: Even though it wasn't perfect, found a way to get
- 9:44Speaker 8: the fourth win. Congratulations. Thanks so much.
- 9:47Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Alright, there you go. Bucky Brooks with Amir Abdullah. 53-yard
- 9:51Speaker 2: return to set up the game-winning walk-off field goal by
- 9:55Speaker 2: Cam Little. That was Bucky in the Everbank Vault. at
- 9:58Speaker 2: EverBank Advantage. You, other banks, talk a big game. We
- 10:01Speaker 2: deliver big results. Set up your game plan at everbank.com.
- 10:05Speaker 2: slash Jaguars. Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner, we got Fred Taylor
- 10:09Speaker 2: here with us as well on the postgame. Fred, just
- 10:12Speaker 2: talk about the attention to detail. What Amir Abdullah was
- 10:15Speaker 2: referencing there, that you've gamed these situations out, right? Is
- 10:20Speaker 2: this like, just go back to your days. I know
- 10:22Speaker 2: you didn't play a whole lot of special teams here
- 10:24Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, but... Was this something that got coached up
- 10:27Speaker 2: and talked about, hey, in these circumstances, know your kicker's range,
- 10:31Speaker 2: know when to get down as opposed to try to
- 10:33Speaker 2: take that return all the way to the house?
- 10:36Speaker 7: Hey, listen, I'm going to show love to special teams.
- 10:39Speaker 7: I got my start on special teams. I played special
- 10:41Speaker 7: teams before I got my first touchdown.
- 10:44Speaker 4: So it comes with the territory.
- 10:47Speaker 7: And, you know, the one thing about special teams, Mike,
- 10:50Speaker 7: as you know, Coach Duff, you know, that's a group
- 10:52Speaker 7: that has to stay ready. They don't get the love,
- 10:55Speaker 7: but they have to stay ready. I remember when Coach
- 10:57Speaker 7: Del Rio was there, he held one position for the
- 11:02Speaker 7: guy that hustled the hardest and played the hardest, and
- 11:05Speaker 7: that guy was going to make the team, and that
- 11:06Speaker 7: was Montel Owens. But to talk about today's game in
- 11:09Speaker 7: terms of situational football, they're very well coached. Again, as
- 11:14Speaker 7: I mentioned, they have to be very much prepared for
- 11:16Speaker 7: those situations that you just never know when they're going
- 11:19Speaker 7: to happen. And twice in this particular game, One during
- 11:23Speaker 7: the two-minute mark, punt return. We saw Parker Washington run
- 11:27Speaker 7: the clock out to get it below.
- 11:29Speaker 4: The two-minute warning.
- 11:30Speaker 7: And here's the amazing heads-up play by Amir Abdullah. First,
- 11:35Speaker 7: you have to be able to get to that moment
- 11:37Speaker 7: with a great return. And then you have to have
- 11:39Speaker 7: the awareness to know where's the clock. These are things
- 11:43Speaker 7: you're scouting before the game. Where's the play clock? Where's
- 11:46Speaker 7: the game clock? Then the third thing is, as he mentioned,
- 11:51Speaker 7: two seconds on the clock, being able to get down
- 11:54Speaker 7: and not get greedy or overly excited, full of adrenaline
- 11:58Speaker 7: to try to go for a touchdown, but to get down,
- 12:01Speaker 7: declare yourself down, which is a play we practice so
- 12:03Speaker 7: many times, even with running backs. You can declare yourself
- 12:07Speaker 7: down by going down and tapping the ground. And just
- 12:10Speaker 7: that heads up, giving them opportunity to give Cam a
- 12:13Speaker 7: shot at.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Winning this game.
- 12:14Speaker 7: The craziest game I've ever seen, baby. I mean, the
- 12:18Speaker 7: lead changes, just everything. Not going for it, going for it.
- 12:22Speaker 7: Fourth and one at the one-yard line. Fourth and goal
- 12:25Speaker 7: at the one. It's so much stuff in this game
- 12:28Speaker 7: that's going to drive any sporecaster.
- 12:31Speaker 4: This is what they live for. This is the game
- 12:34Speaker 4: they want to talk about. It was amazing.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Oh, we'll be talking about it for quite a while
- 12:38Speaker 2: today and all week long, obviously, before the Jags turn
- 12:42Speaker 2: around and take on their division rivals. But don't worry
- 12:44Speaker 2: about that at least 24 hours from now. There's Fred
- 12:48Speaker 2: Taylor with Mark Duffner. I'm Mike Dempsey. We've got plenty
- 12:52Speaker 2: more to do here as the Jaguars win it 19-17
- 12:55Speaker 2: over the Philadelphia Eagles. You're listening to Jaguars Postgame on
- 12:59Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network. Jaguars postgame brought to you by GEHA,
- 13:08Speaker 2: Government Employees Health Association, benefits for federal employees and retirees.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey and Mark Duffner in the Hyundai Studios. Freddie T.
- 13:16Speaker 2: joining us from a remote locale. Where are you today,
- 13:19Speaker 2: Fred Taylor?
- 13:21Speaker 4: I'm home.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Okay, just checking. Wasn't sure.
- 13:23Speaker 7: Yeah, I am getting myself together. Got a flight coming up.
- 13:27Speaker 7: Got a flight to Philly, of all places. And then
- 13:30Speaker 7: I'll be leaving from there to head over to London
- 13:34Speaker 7: for the week, hitting the ground Wednesday, catch up with
- 13:37Speaker 7: the team, got some appearances, you know, got some stuff
- 13:40Speaker 7: going on in preparation for the Texans.
- 13:44Speaker 4: I'm here in Florida right now.
- 13:45Speaker 2: All right, well, those Duval fans in London are going
- 13:48Speaker 2: to be going out of their minds this week, so
- 13:51Speaker 2: I'm sure going to be happy to see you. Fred,
- 13:53Speaker 2: you referenced this, and Coach, I want you to weigh
- 13:55Speaker 2: in on this as well. The decision to not kick
- 13:58Speaker 2: the field goals, Fred, I have to believe, and we'll
- 14:01Speaker 2: hear from Liam Cohen hopefully coming up here shortly, I
- 14:04Speaker 2: have to believe that was influenced by The fact that
- 14:07Speaker 2: you lost your long snapper and Devon Hamilton sailed a
- 14:09Speaker 2: couple back there. Logan Cook made great saves on those.
- 14:13Speaker 2: But I think that Liam Cohen figured, you know what?
- 14:15Speaker 2: I think we're just as good going forward here on
- 14:17Speaker 2: fourth and goal from the one as we are risking
- 14:20Speaker 2: another high snap and maybe not getting any points.
- 14:23Speaker 4: On the board.
- 14:24Speaker 7: Yeah, it was twice in the game. One earlier, one later.
- 14:29Speaker 7: Both almost cost the game today. You know, it's really strange.
- 14:36Speaker 7: I'm still trying to catch up with this whole analytics
- 14:39Speaker 7: versus your gut. You know, old school football, the way
- 14:43Speaker 7: we were coached, you know, even I think it was
- 14:49Speaker 7: the Cowboys game the other night versus Tampa, going for two.
- 14:53Speaker 7: In a moment, you're down 14, you're scoring, you go
- 14:55Speaker 7: for two. Like, I don't understand that. But In this
- 14:59Speaker 7: particular situation, it could have been a bit of not
- 15:03Speaker 7: having your long snapper. It could have been a bit of,
- 15:06Speaker 7: you know, analytics. I don't know what the computer says.
- 15:10Speaker 7: Or it could have been a bit of let's just
- 15:12Speaker 7: be the aggressive, smart coach that I am, and I'm
- 15:17Speaker 7: going to live by it, and I'm going to die
- 15:20Speaker 7: by it. We started a year ago making some gutsy
- 15:23Speaker 7: fourth down calls, and I believe the first fourth and one,
- 15:27Speaker 7: I'm okay with that one. The last one, because of
- 15:34Speaker 7: where they started, I would say they shouldn't have been
- 15:37Speaker 7: in that situation. But when you're in that situation, understanding
- 15:40Speaker 7: the high snaps were occurring, then I'm okay with him
- 15:43Speaker 7: going for it, electing to go for it then, to
- 15:46Speaker 7: try to give yourself the lead.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Well, let's hear from the man himself, Bucky Brooks, standing
- 15:49Speaker 2: by with head coach Liam Cohen.
- 15:51Speaker 5: Bucky?
- 15:52Speaker 8: Coach, I'm going to ask you a question, but I
- 15:55Speaker 8: got to ask this because I talked to Amir Abdullah.
- 15:56Speaker 8: He said that you guys have talked about those situations.
- 15:59Speaker 8: being able to go down with eight seconds left. He
- 16:00Speaker 8: said it's very similar to running Rolex on offense. Can
- 16:03Speaker 8: you explain a little bit?
- 16:04Speaker 10: Yeah, we just, I think Shane Waldron, John Dykema, those
- 16:08Speaker 10: guys do a phenomenal job each week of every Wednesday,
- 16:12Speaker 10: every Thursday, before practice starts, we're working situational football.
- 16:17Speaker 5: And it's something new each week, right?
- 16:19Speaker 10: And so We actually were in that situation this week
- 16:23Speaker 10: where we had to do our somewhat desperado.
- 16:26Speaker 5: Now, it was on offense in a way.
- 16:28Speaker 10: It wasn't necessarily on kickoff return where it was like,
- 16:30Speaker 10: all right, eight seconds left. We're in the minus territory.
- 16:33Speaker 10: We had to get desperado. And it's kind of where
- 16:34Speaker 10: you pitch it around and do all that stuff. Well,
- 16:37Speaker 10: it showed up in a kickoff return. And we talked about, okay,
- 16:40Speaker 10: do we take a knee and not, you know, let
- 16:43Speaker 10: the offense go out and.
- 16:44Speaker 5: Try to do it?
- 16:45Speaker 10: But we had popped the one earlier, right, in the
- 16:47Speaker 10: first play of the game. And so we felt like
- 16:49Speaker 10: we had confidence in our return unit, in those two
- 16:52Speaker 10: guys in the back end. We felt like that was
- 16:55Speaker 10: our best chance to go score a touchdown. And almost did, right?
- 16:59Speaker 10: Almost truly popped it for a touchdown. And he said,
- 17:01Speaker 10: he goes, I was looking at the scoreboard the whole
- 17:03Speaker 10: way and knew, man, that I could get down with
- 17:06Speaker 10: one second left. So, you know, Buck, it's crazy mental, right?
- 17:11Speaker 10: But guys competed and mental toughness prevailed.
- 17:14Speaker 8: So these games are always difficult, right? Because the world says, hey,
- 17:17Speaker 8: you should come and handle this game. Look, it's an
- 17:19Speaker 8: easy one, et cetera, et cetera, even though we know
- 17:22Speaker 8: the league is a one-score game. It's a fourth-quarter game.
- 17:25Speaker 8: Talk about winning a game when you may not have
- 17:28Speaker 8: your best.
- 17:28Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 17:29Speaker 10: I mean, well, every time we went positive, we went negative, right?
- 17:33Speaker 10: It was like every time we'd have an 8- to
- 17:34Speaker 10: 10-yard run, we'd have a penalty. I mean, we'd have
- 17:37Speaker 10: 13 again for 100, and it felt like they were
- 17:40Speaker 10: all after good plays, right? We'd go positive, we'd go negative.
- 17:44Speaker 10: We had them in how many third and XLs defensively
- 17:47Speaker 10: and let them off the hook. So I never really
- 17:50Speaker 10: felt like we were just getting flat out outplayed. Like,
- 17:52Speaker 10: it just never felt that way. We were kicking ourselves
- 17:55Speaker 10: in the foot. We're 0 for 3 in the red area.
- 17:58Speaker 5: And how many of those were inside the five?
- 18:00Speaker 10: Right?
- 18:00Speaker 5: So you're in scoring position. What should that game have been?
- 18:02Speaker 5: I can't say.
- 18:03Speaker 10: But to them, 22 yards, rushing. Us 100 plus on
- 18:08Speaker 10: that defensive line, I don't care. That's the biggest D
- 18:11Speaker 10: line I've seen. I've coached against them at Georgia, when
- 18:13Speaker 10: they were at Georgia. And to come out a bit
- 18:17Speaker 10: on top, it's it's obviously you always want to live
- 18:20Speaker 10: in the process.
- 18:21Speaker 5: You get so wrapped up in the results.
- 18:24Speaker 10: But to have one second left and the team still fighting,
- 18:27Speaker 10: the team still going through it.
- 18:28Speaker 5: I mean, I got to be proud of that.
- 18:30Speaker 8: No, it was really great. And you talk about like
- 18:32Speaker 8: the feel that you actually have on the sideline. I'm
- 18:34Speaker 8: watching the game. and there was never a field that
- 18:36Speaker 8: they could run the ball, so you knew they couldn't
- 18:38Speaker 8: run it out. So when you're going for it some
- 18:40Speaker 8: of those times, like on fourth and goal instead of kicking,
- 18:43Speaker 8: is it because you felt like they couldn't?
- 18:44Speaker 5: That's right.
- 18:45Speaker 10: I mean, we had chances to close them, you know,
- 18:48Speaker 10: and it's like the way the thing was going, and
- 18:51Speaker 10: then obviously it bit us in the butt on the
- 18:53Speaker 10: extra point when we did take the lead, right? So
- 18:56Speaker 10: it's like, yeah, I could question going for it, kicking
- 18:59Speaker 10: field goals, but those field goals weren't guaranteed. They just weren't,
- 19:03Speaker 10: and it showed up when we took the lead. So
- 19:05Speaker 10: it's like you can say that a million times, but
- 19:09Speaker 10: it happened, right? Like we missed an extra point. And
- 19:13Speaker 10: that was a thing. That was an issue that we
- 19:15Speaker 10: were worried about. And then it was wild on the
- 19:18Speaker 10: one that the game winner, he gets.
- 19:21Speaker 5: Iced, right? It was his best snap of the day.
- 19:25Speaker 5: I mean, Bucky, this thing hit him right in the hands.
- 19:27Speaker 5: It was perfect.
- 19:29Speaker 10: So I'm sitting there like, all right, competitive greatness, being
- 19:31Speaker 10: at our best when our best is required.
- 19:33Speaker 5: DM's got this.
- 19:34Speaker 10: And then the thing goes over his head, and Logan's
- 19:36Speaker 10: got to make another play. And so, yeah, it was
- 19:39Speaker 10: one of those kind of games, Buck, and proud to
- 19:41Speaker 10: come on top.
- 19:42Speaker 8: You know, but they always talk about great teams have
- 19:44Speaker 8: to have one of these games that you overcome in
- 19:47Speaker 8: the course of the regular season before you go. What
- 19:49Speaker 8: can you take from it? this game to help you
- 19:51Speaker 8: going forward?
- 19:51Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, resiliency.
- 19:53Speaker 10: We talked about mental toughness all week, from on Wednesday
- 19:56Speaker 10: in our team meeting to Saturday morning in my team
- 19:58Speaker 10: meeting to Saturday night in the team meeting.
- 20:01Speaker 5: Was all about mental toughness and overcoming.
- 20:04Speaker 10: I mean, you overcome a kickoff return for a touchdown
- 20:07Speaker 10: on the first play of the game. I mean, yeah,
- 20:09Speaker 10: we didn't score on that drive, but we had to
- 20:11Speaker 10: overcome it, right?
- 20:12Speaker 5: And so you overcome failing in the red zone. Like
- 20:16Speaker 5: we had to overcome failure, right?
- 20:18Speaker 10: And so when things aren't all going well, when things
- 20:20Speaker 10: aren't all perfect, How do we respond? And so, yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 10: we're going to need that. This is week five. I mean,
- 20:27Speaker 10: we're four and one. It's week five. We're not figured out.
- 20:30Speaker 5: We don't have all the answers, and we've got to
- 20:32Speaker 5: keep learning and growing together.
- 20:34Speaker 8: Before I let you go, how do you handle this week?
- 20:38Speaker 8: highly emotional game. You've got Houston coming in. Is the
- 20:41Speaker 8: plan similar to what you do over the course of
- 20:44Speaker 8: back home, or do we have a different schedule?
- 20:46Speaker 10: It's the same exact routine as we are in Jacksonville. Luckily,
- 20:51Speaker 10: to come off of a win helps.
- 20:53Speaker 5: Just morale.
- 20:54Speaker 10: It helps morale, but we know what Houston is. We
- 20:59Speaker 10: know what they're bringing in here. We know what kind
- 21:02Speaker 10: of game this is about to be. And We will
- 21:05Speaker 10: not look at this as I don't give a crap
- 21:08Speaker 10: what their record is.
- 21:08Speaker 5: I don't care who's playing. I don't care who's not playing.
- 21:11Speaker 10: We know what kind of game this is about to be,
- 21:13Speaker 10: and we're going to have to bring it.
- 21:15Speaker 5: We're going to have to bring it this week in practice.
- 21:17Speaker 10: We get to hit again because we really didn't get
- 21:19Speaker 10: to practice hard last week. It was one of those
- 21:22Speaker 10: weird weeks because we were a little nicked up, and
- 21:25Speaker 10: then you got the travel, and so Friday wasn't a
- 21:27Speaker 10: fast Friday. We got after it a little bit Thursday,
- 21:29Speaker 10: but it was a weird week. Hopefully we can get
- 21:32Speaker 10: back to a routine, practice, habits, do our thing. And
- 21:35Speaker 10: then we've got a big Houston game this Sunday.
- 21:37Speaker 8: Oh, man, we're looking forward to it. Congratulations.
- 21:39Speaker 5: Thanks, Buck.
- 21:40Speaker 2: All right, there you go. Bucky Brooks with head coach
- 21:42Speaker 2: Liam Cohen. The head coach interview presented by GEHA, Government
- 21:45Speaker 2: Employees Health Association, benefits for federal employees and retirees. There
- 21:50Speaker 2: you go. And, folks, bring home the W. When the
- 21:53Speaker 2: Jaguars win, you win a free Whataburger. Guess what? They
- 21:58Speaker 2: snuck it out. They win it. The final score, 19-17.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Back with more here with Coach Mark Duffner and Fred Taylor.
- 22:06Speaker 2: This is the Jaguars postgame show on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars
- 22:12Speaker 2: postgame presented by GEHA, Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner, Fred Taylor
- 22:16Speaker 2: from the Hyundai Studios in Jacksonville, and wherever Fred happens
- 22:20Speaker 2: to hold court on any given week. We love having
- 22:22Speaker 2: him here on the postgame. Guys, PRI Productions, the official
- 22:26Speaker 2: event production company of the Jaguars, has everything you need
- 22:29Speaker 2: to bring your next idea to life. Visit PRIProductions.com. All right, Coach,
- 22:34Speaker 2: let me start with you. We just listened to Liam Cohen.
- 22:37Speaker 2: And it sounded like at first he was saying, hey,
- 22:40Speaker 2: we want to be aggressive. We want to put them away.
- 22:42Speaker 2: We think we can punch it in here. And then
- 22:44Speaker 2: as his answer started to evolve, he started to acknowledge, yeah,
- 22:47Speaker 2: we're having some problems with the kicks. You had to
- 22:50Speaker 2: admit it. So it felt like maybe one foot in
- 22:53Speaker 2: each of those kind of buckets as to the rationale
- 22:56Speaker 2: for why they didn't take the field goal attack.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's prudent. I mean, we're not
- 23:01Speaker 3: privy to being those huddles and to listen to exactly
- 23:03Speaker 3: what's going on in game time, if you will. Kudos
- 23:06Speaker 3: to Hamilton, though, on just getting the ball back there
- 23:09Speaker 3: in any way, shape, or form. I mean, geez, that
- 23:11Speaker 3: was a sudden change situation for him. But I'll tell
- 23:13Speaker 3: you this right now. Again, I understand where Coach was thinking.
- 23:16Speaker 3: It was well explained by him. And I'll tell you,
- 23:19Speaker 3: Amir Abdullah did a great job of explaining his mechanics
- 23:22Speaker 3: on that kickoff return. A superb play by the kickoff
- 23:25Speaker 3: return team. And this team has not given lip service
- 23:28Speaker 3: to situational masters. They commit to it in meetings. These
- 23:33Speaker 3: players are educated. They're smart. They listen. They are tough, smart,
- 23:36Speaker 3: and physical. And I thought that was very well done.
- 23:38Speaker 3: So it's not by accident that they made the plays
- 23:40Speaker 3: that they did. They commit time to it. They have
- 23:43Speaker 3: belief in it. And it shows in terms of how
- 23:45Speaker 3: they won this game.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and Freddie, certainly weighing on any of that, you'd
- 23:48Speaker 2: like to. But I'd like to ask you about what
- 23:50Speaker 2: Liam Cohen said about, hey, I don't care what the
- 23:52Speaker 2: numbers are, man. That is as big a defensive line
- 23:55Speaker 2: as you're going to go up against. And what did
- 23:57Speaker 2: you make of the running game today? They stayed committed
- 23:59Speaker 2: to it. 22 carries for Basil Tootin. Ground out 72
- 24:03Speaker 2: yards today. What did you make of the way they
- 24:05Speaker 2: ran the ball?
- 24:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have my little stat tracker.
- 24:09Speaker 7: I like to track the halftime stats and see how
- 24:13Speaker 7: teams tend to go in and make whatever necessary adjustments
- 24:16Speaker 7: that will impact the outcome of the game. Whatever it was,
- 24:19Speaker 7: I know Basial had around nine carries for 19 yards.
- 24:24Speaker 7: Trevor had two carries, and also Chris Rodriguez had two
- 24:28Speaker 7: for five. A 12-yarder was called back because of a
- 24:32Speaker 7: holding by Jacoby Myers. Still, even with that, being able
- 24:38Speaker 7: to understand that we have to find a way to
- 24:41Speaker 7: slow Jalen Carter down. You know, he's very active in
- 24:44Speaker 7: the pass game, not as active late in the run game.
- 24:49Speaker 7: And Jacksonville, they were able to turn back, block him,
- 24:52Speaker 7: run some counter plays away from him, cut him off.
- 24:56Speaker 7: And Basher was able to get skinny and find those cracks.
- 25:00Speaker 7: He showed tremendous patience, poise, a lot of great vision.
- 25:05Speaker 7: But more importantly, I think the best asset that he
- 25:08Speaker 7: has is his stature, his lower half being able to
- 25:13Speaker 7: break tackles.
- 25:14Speaker 4: Again, I keep saying.
- 25:16Speaker 7: Man, he's one tackle away from showing everybody that speed
- 25:20Speaker 7: as he did a week ago.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Look forward to it. They're going to come for him.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Yeah, the speed is there, but he will square you up, Coach,
- 25:28Speaker 2: and he'll meet you as you try to meet him
- 25:30Speaker 2: in the hole. And you look at Bajel and you're like,
- 25:33Speaker 2: he's a small back. No, he's a powerful back is
- 25:36Speaker 2: what he is.
- 25:37Speaker 4: He plays big.
- 25:38Speaker 3: He plays real big as far as that's concerned. I'll
- 25:40Speaker 3: tell you the other thing that's helping our running game
- 25:42Speaker 3: today was two times, Trevor Lawrence opted to use his legs.
- 25:47Speaker 3: That's going to help a lot of things in the
- 25:48Speaker 3: run and pass game. In fact, he had the longest
- 25:50Speaker 3: run of the day with a decisive decision he made
- 25:53Speaker 3: for 16-yard gain. So all that's going to pay dividends
- 25:57Speaker 3: as we move forward.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Freddie, did you want to add anything to that?
- 26:01Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I do want to add that that's when
- 26:04Speaker 7: the Jaguars are at their best, when they give Trevor
- 26:07Speaker 7: sort of like the RPOs when they're putting him out
- 26:10Speaker 7: in the pass game. naked bootleg play actions you saw
- 26:14Speaker 7: early in the game finding Parker on a little simple
- 26:16Speaker 7: dump off on the naked action he took it 51
- 26:19Speaker 7: yards but really quick Mike I just want to say
- 26:22Speaker 7: when coach Cohen said live in the process try not
- 26:25Speaker 7: to get too worried about the results when he was
- 26:27Speaker 7: talking about situational football in preparation if you enjoy the
- 26:31Speaker 7: preparation in the process you eventually will have success and
- 26:35Speaker 7: that was the one thing coach Coughlin sort of you
- 26:37Speaker 7: know sort of beat into us.
- 26:40Speaker 4: I can't say it any other way than that.
- 26:44Speaker 7: But eventually, that would separate the good teams from the
- 26:48Speaker 7: bad teams, just being prepared for those situations. because they
- 26:51Speaker 7: eventually will show up, and you have to be ready
- 26:53Speaker 7: to execute.
- 26:54Speaker 2: All right, plenty more to come here, including an Everbank
- 26:57Speaker 2: stats check. Freddie just mentioned Parker Washington's name. We went
- 27:00Speaker 2: this far, I think, without mentioning the guy who had
- 27:03Speaker 2: an absolutely spectacular day with some amazing catches, six for
- 27:09Speaker 2: 124 and a pair of scores. Don't worry, Parker, we
- 27:11Speaker 2: will get to you. The Jaguars win it 19-17. This
- 27:14Speaker 2: is Jaguars postgame on the Jaguars Radio Network. Jaguars postgame
- 27:25Speaker 2: presented by GEHA. Mike Dempsey, Mark Ducker, Fred Taylor here
- 27:28Speaker 2: with you from the Hyundai Studios. Guys, before we go
- 27:31Speaker 2: any further, let's get an Everbank stats check here. So
- 27:35Speaker 2: we'll start with some of the team stats. And you
- 27:37Speaker 2: look at some of them and you wonder, how is
- 27:39Speaker 2: this game even close? As the Jaguars outgained Philadelphia 408-232.
- 27:44Speaker 2: They had a 96-yard advantage in passing yards. They had
- 27:50Speaker 2: a 70-yard advantage in rushing yards. No one... is running
- 27:53Speaker 2: on this football team this year so far at least.
- 27:55Speaker 2: So how do you close the gap? Well, 13 penalties
- 27:59Speaker 2: to seven, one turnover to zero, and you've got only
- 28:03Speaker 2: the one sack in the game today. Looking at some
- 28:06Speaker 2: individual numbers, though, there were some standouts. I mean, Trevor Lawrence,
- 28:09Speaker 2: I thought, played really well, even with the interception. They
- 28:12Speaker 2: came on a third down that was going nowhere, and
- 28:15Speaker 2: they probably would have punted the ball away. So it
- 28:18Speaker 2: ended up being kind of empty calories a little bit
- 28:20Speaker 2: for Philadelphia. But 24-39, 333, a couple of touchdowns, did
- 28:25Speaker 2: have that pick, and a 95 passer rating. So just
- 28:29Speaker 2: a really strong play once again. Compare that to Jalen Hurts, 21-40,
- 28:33Speaker 2: basically 50%. completion percentage that he threw for 220 with
- 28:38Speaker 2: the one score where Cooper split the two defenders after
- 28:42Speaker 2: catching about a 20-yard pass. Basil Tootin, as we mentioned,
- 28:45Speaker 2: 22 for 72 on the ground. Parker Washington, again, this
- 28:49Speaker 2: guy's showing up. Six for 124. Those two touchdowns including
- 28:53Speaker 2: a ridiculous one-handed grab on a fourth down throw from
- 28:57Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Brenton Strange, once again, chipping in mightily. Seven
- 29:01Speaker 2: for 68. Here's Josh Cameron coming on. Three for 43.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers had a couple for 37. On we go.
- 29:09Speaker 2: And I guess, really, one of the things you look
- 29:11Speaker 2: at is that they couldn't hook up with Brian Thomas,
- 29:14Speaker 2: although they tried a few times. Foye and Lewakin led
- 29:17Speaker 2: the team with 10 total tackles and the lone sack
- 29:21Speaker 2: split by Antonio Johnson and Trayvon Walker. Let's start with
- 29:26Speaker 2: some good here. Fred, I'll start with you. Parker Washington.
- 29:29Speaker 2: I mean, how many superlatives did Do we need for
- 29:31Speaker 2: this guy? He had a quiet game last week, but
- 29:33Speaker 2: that is quickly showing to be the exception to the
- 29:36Speaker 2: rule right now with him. Freddie, are you muted?
- 29:44Speaker 8: Yep.
- 29:45Speaker 4: Sorry about that.
- 29:46Speaker 7: You have some receivers that go out, you know, and
- 29:50Speaker 7: they play lights out, but then you have some receivers
- 29:52Speaker 7: that they are game changing and they make spectacular catches,
- 29:57Speaker 7: whether it's short balls, Long, deep balls, acrobatic catches. But
- 30:03Speaker 7: there are a few of those guys around the NFL,
- 30:05Speaker 7: Parker being one of them. And my question is, how long?
- 30:11Speaker 7: And I hope this doesn't create a stir. But how
- 30:14Speaker 7: long are you going to wait to pay him? Because
- 30:17Speaker 7: the longer you wait, you never know what happens because
- 30:22Speaker 7: he's having that type of a season. And again, I'm
- 30:25Speaker 7: sure they got that all handled when he came on
- 30:28Speaker 7: our show last week. He said, look, I don't worry
- 30:30Speaker 7: about that. I just show up and play. I let
- 30:33Speaker 7: the front office and my agent take care of business.
- 30:35Speaker 7: I take care of ball. That's business for me. And yeah,
- 30:39Speaker 7: he shows up, man, and he gets it done.
- 30:42Speaker 2: That's a good t-shirt right there. Parker Washington taking care
- 30:45Speaker 2: of ball. Just taking care of ball. He just plays ball,
- 30:48Speaker 2: goes about his business, coach. And, you know, you talk
- 30:50Speaker 2: about his value to the team. It's incredibly high. Fred's
- 30:52Speaker 2: talking about his monetary value, which is going to be
- 30:55Speaker 2: high as well. And I wonder, does every time that
- 30:59Speaker 2: Brian Thomas kind of receded to the background enhance Parker
- 31:03Speaker 2: Washington's negotiating platform?
- 31:06Speaker 6: I think it does.
- 31:07Speaker 3: I mean, again, this is a production business. And, geez, Pete,
- 31:10Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about the he had today, and
- 31:13Speaker 3: not only as a receiver and making the big plays,
- 31:16Speaker 3: the 51-yard or the 27-yard touchdown. I mean, awesome plays.
- 31:20Speaker 3: But how about the brains and smarts we talked about
- 31:22Speaker 3: on the punt return? I mean, what the guy's got
- 31:25Speaker 3: in terms of the clock and clock management. I mean,
- 31:27Speaker 3: he is everything you want and then some. And, again,
- 31:30Speaker 3: he's an attitude to emulate. He's a team-first guy in
- 31:34Speaker 3: all that he does. So I think what he brings
- 31:36Speaker 3: to the table, wow, what the value is.
- 31:39Speaker 6: Tremendous.
- 31:39Speaker 2: All right, let's do this. Let's pause 10 seconds for
- 31:42Speaker 2: station identification on the Jacksonville Jaguar radio network. All right, folks,
- 31:56Speaker 2: Jag fans, time to bring the energy. The Jags scored
- 31:58Speaker 2: in the third quarter, and you score free Culver's Medium
- 32:01Speaker 2: Wisconsin Cheese Curds with purchase offer available for Culver's Delicious
- 32:07Speaker 2: Rewards members. Coming up next, we've got the Jaguars Radio
- 32:10Speaker 2: Network player of the game voting, 19-17. Jags win it
- 32:15Speaker 2: over the Eagles in a thriller. This is Jaguars postgame
- 32:19Speaker 2: on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars postgame brought to you by GEHA,
- 32:25Speaker 2: Government Employees Health Association, benefits for federal employees and retirees.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner here in the Hyundai studios. Freddie
- 32:33Speaker 2: T joining us via remote from the homestead right now.
- 32:38Speaker 2: And guys, it has come to this, the Jaguars radio
- 32:41Speaker 2: network player of the game voting. We might have more
- 32:43Speaker 2: fun during this segment than any other on the postgame.
- 32:46Speaker 2: As we all know, I will get a vote today.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Coach Duff will get a vote today. And Freddie T
- 32:52Speaker 2: get a vote in half. to ensure that there will
- 32:54Speaker 2: be no ties, and we will name a player of
- 32:57Speaker 2: the game. Duff, I think we've got some strong candidates today.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Who are you going to roll with?
- 33:03Speaker 3: After much concerning study and just intense study, if you will,
- 33:08Speaker 3: I'm going to kind of go with Parker Washington. I'll
- 33:10Speaker 3: tell you, there's a lot of worthy candidates, but, geez,
- 33:13Speaker 3: six receptions like he had for 124 yards, two magnificent catches,
- 33:17Speaker 3: a 51-yard explosive play, I think it was 27-yard one-handed catch,
- 33:23Speaker 3: To put us ahead, I mean, what a tremendous game
- 33:26Speaker 3: this guy has. And just, again, what he brings to
- 33:29Speaker 3: the table in terms of stress for the opponent's defense
- 33:31Speaker 3: and leadership and how to play the game for our offense.
- 33:34Speaker 8: All right.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'll say this, Freddie. If I were
- 33:36Speaker 2: voting in a vacuum. I would probably agree. If I
- 33:39Speaker 2: had the lone vote, I'd probably give it to Parker Washington.
- 33:42Speaker 2: But because I don't, and I know it's not going
- 33:44Speaker 2: to be decided yet, I'm going to go with Cam
- 33:46Speaker 2: Little because when you walk it off from 57 in
- 33:49Speaker 2: the National Football League, as Cam let those Eagle fans
- 33:54Speaker 2: in the end zone know, you are the man when
- 33:56Speaker 2: you do that. So I'm going to give my vote
- 33:58Speaker 2: to Cam Little for the walk-off game-winning field goal with
- 34:01Speaker 2: zeros on the clock, Fred. So we put it all
- 34:04Speaker 2: in your hands. Who is your vote for player of
- 34:06Speaker 2: the game today?
- 34:08Speaker 7: Man, those are two really good votes. You can't go
- 34:12Speaker 7: wrong either way. But I'm going to have to agree
- 34:15Speaker 7: with Coach Duff and give it to Parker. Without those
- 34:19Speaker 7: two touchdowns, I mean, Cam, obviously a great kick. I
- 34:22Speaker 7: can easily say without the kick, we're not sitting here
- 34:25Speaker 7: with smiles on our faces. But someone had to set
- 34:29Speaker 7: that up. And for an offense that wasn't great throughout
- 34:34Speaker 7: the course of the game, Those two big plays were
- 34:37Speaker 7: not only big plays, they were spectacular, highlight real plays.
- 34:42Speaker 4: And this is what he does every week. So my vote,
- 34:45Speaker 4: my 1.5.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Yes.
- 34:48Speaker 4: Is going to go to Parker Washington.
- 34:50Speaker 6: All right.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Fair enough. And I think we can all agree. Parker
- 34:52Speaker 2: was the guy who was the glue throughout the course
- 34:55Speaker 2: of the game coach and the scoreboard show. You and
- 34:57Speaker 2: I get to pick a play of the game. Yeah,
- 34:59Speaker 2: that's still not going to be a lay down. No,
- 35:01Speaker 2: that's right.
- 35:02Speaker 7: Right.
- 35:03Speaker 2: I mean, some love for Amir Abdullah on the run back.
- 35:06Speaker 5: Right.
- 35:07Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, if we had enough to go around.
- 35:10Speaker 2: I'd say Logan Cook for all those catches on those
- 35:12Speaker 2: high snaps did a hell of a job out there
- 35:16Speaker 2: as well. But regardless, Parker, Washington, six catches, 124 yards,
- 35:21Speaker 2: and a pair of touchdowns averaged 20.7 yards. A catch
- 35:25Speaker 2: on nine targets today is your Jaguar Radio Network player
- 35:29Speaker 2: of the game. Up next, the UF Health Injury Report.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Final score, 19-17. Jags on top of the Eagles. This
- 35:36Speaker 2: is Jaguars postgame on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars postgame presented by GEHA.
- 35:45Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey and Mark Duffner from the Hyundai Studios. Fred
- 35:47Speaker 2: Taylor joining us as well for a final few thoughts here.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Let's quickly give you the injury report presented by UF Health,
- 35:54Speaker 2: the official healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Two of
- 35:58Speaker 2: them today that could be significant. We don't know how
- 36:01Speaker 2: long-term they will be, but obviously significant. because of who
- 36:05Speaker 2: they hit. Ross Matasek injured his left shoulder early in
- 36:10Speaker 2: the game, left the game. This is an all-pro long snapper. Yeah,
- 36:14Speaker 2: it's a long snapper. Well, you saw today, you know,
- 36:16Speaker 2: what a guy pressed into duty, a little bit shaky,
- 36:19Speaker 2: and it's understandable. Hopefully the Jags will have that nailed
- 36:22Speaker 2: down if Matasek can't play next week. And we just
- 36:25Speaker 2: have to hope for the best, Freddie, as Anton Harrison
- 36:28Speaker 2: gets carted off with a knee injury. And, you know,
- 36:32Speaker 2: you fear for the worst, but you hope for the
- 36:33Speaker 2: best in that regard.
- 36:35Speaker 7: Yeah, I think in both cases, you don't realize how
- 36:39Speaker 7: valuable these players are until you lose one of them.
- 36:43Speaker 7: You know, we had another long snapper that was great
- 36:46Speaker 7: in Joe Zelenka. Those guys, man, you need those guys, man.
- 36:50Speaker 7: They contribute a lot. In terms of Anton Harrison, injuries happen,
- 36:56Speaker 7: but you hate to see it happen without stuff happening.
- 37:01Speaker 7: You know, that was an injury where sort of the
- 37:03Speaker 7: turf monster sort of got him.
- 37:05Speaker 4: And usually when that happens, it's usually the worst. But
- 37:08Speaker 4: I don't want to think that way.
- 37:10Speaker 7: I think a bit more optimistic and hopefully it's more
- 37:13Speaker 7: so a hyper extension than the other injury. So hopefully
- 37:18Speaker 7: they're back sooner than later. This is a long season
- 37:21Speaker 7: to have.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Fred, we know you're going to go because you've got
- 37:23Speaker 2: a plane to catch and you're heading up to Philadelphia.
- 37:25Speaker 2: So we expect you to continue to rep all that
- 37:28Speaker 2: gear that you have on right there on that flight
- 37:31Speaker 2: up there. And that will be very enjoyable for you
- 37:34Speaker 2: to throw it up in some Eagle fans' faces. But
- 37:37Speaker 2: just your final thought for today, the emotion coming out
- 37:41Speaker 2: of this, how quickly can you put that behind you
- 37:44Speaker 2: when you've got a very important divisional game coming up
- 37:47Speaker 2: next week?
- 37:48Speaker 7: You know, I think when you look at this young season,
- 37:50Speaker 7: only five games in, the type of games that they've
- 37:53Speaker 7: been a part of. You look at the Denver game,
- 37:55Speaker 7: you go back to there. They had to learn and
- 37:57Speaker 7: make adjustments from that game. These last two weeks, when
- 38:00Speaker 7: you talk about mental toughness was the theme that Coach
- 38:04Speaker 7: Cohen mentioned there and his presser with Bucky.
- 38:10Speaker 4: They still have to get better in that.
- 38:11Speaker 7: Department because these penalties, again, You won't be able to
- 38:15Speaker 7: skate the entire season with getting 13 penalties per game.
- 38:19Speaker 7: You're doing it versus clubs that aren't that great. You're
- 38:23Speaker 7: a very good team, but you don't want to bring
- 38:25Speaker 7: your play down because of those type of things. So
- 38:28Speaker 7: clean the penalties up. Go clean up the operations. Get
- 38:32Speaker 7: the plays out. You want to be at the line
- 38:34Speaker 7: of scrimmage with about 15 seconds so these guys can
- 38:36Speaker 7: operate and be efficient the way that they have shown
- 38:40Speaker 7: that they can be. So I think the coach is
- 38:42Speaker 7: going to look at Everything across the board. Let the
- 38:47Speaker 7: players enjoy this one. But say, look, we got to
- 38:50Speaker 7: get back to it. You know, mediocrity lives in comfort.
- 38:55Speaker 7: We don't want to be there enjoying it.
- 38:58Speaker 4: But we have to get back to work.
- 39:00Speaker 8: All right.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Well, for us today, Fred, happy to celebrate a win
- 39:03Speaker 2: with you. Safe travels. Have a great week in London.
- 39:07Speaker 2: And enjoy that Duval spirit over the next seven days
- 39:10Speaker 2: before those hated Texans come callin'..
- 39:13Speaker 7: You better believe it. I have some fish and chips. Well, actually,
- 39:16Speaker 7: I don't eat fish, but I'll have the chips.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Have the chips, man.
- 39:19Speaker 4: You ain't coach. See y'all in a bit.
- 39:23Speaker 2: Duval. Duval. All right, there he goes, the legend, Freddie T.
- 39:27Speaker 2: We salute you, sir, on your way out. the door. Coach,
- 39:30Speaker 2: we'll come back with some final thoughts of our own
- 39:33Speaker 2: here as the Jaguars wrap it up with a nail-biter
- 39:36Speaker 2: of a win, 19-17 over the Philadelphia Eagles. This is
- 39:41Speaker 2: Jaguars Postgame on the Jaguars Radio Network. All right, final
- 39:50Speaker 2: moments here on Jaguars postgame brought to you by GEHA,
- 39:54Speaker 2: Government Employees Health Association benefits for federal employees and retirees.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Freddie Taylor has... bid us adieu and he's on his
- 40:03Speaker 2: travels it'll take him to London next week we still
- 40:06Speaker 2: got him up on the screen there yes we saw
- 40:08Speaker 2: a smiling face there for a second coach you can
- 40:10Speaker 2: leave Fred up we don't mind Freddie T you know
- 40:13Speaker 2: we can just put Fred up in place of me
- 40:15Speaker 2: amen that would probably be better for everybody watching at
- 40:18Speaker 2: home on jaguars.com coach same question I kind of asked
- 40:22Speaker 2: Fred you got to put it behind you quickly right
- 40:24Speaker 2: you celebrate this But you also recognize that there's a
- 40:28Speaker 2: lot of cleaning up to do. And if Philadelphia had
- 40:32Speaker 2: been full strength today, who knows what the outcome might
- 40:35Speaker 2: have been.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, there's always all those kind of ifs
- 40:38Speaker 3: right now. The bottom line is we won the game.
- 40:40Speaker 3: As Coach mentioned, this team showed resilience. It showed mental toughness.
- 40:43Speaker 3: It showed trust and belief. You don't win a game
- 40:47Speaker 3: on the very last play of the game without having
- 40:49Speaker 3: those things.
- 40:49Speaker 6: So they faced adversity. I think they're going to learn
- 40:52Speaker 6: from that.
- 40:53Speaker 3: Again, one of the keys coming into the game with
- 40:55Speaker 3: this penalty situation is, again, we've got to clean those
- 40:58Speaker 3: things up. You can't beat yourselves. You've got to beat
- 41:00Speaker 3: the opponent. That'll be a big focus as they prepare
- 41:03Speaker 3: for Houston this week.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Well, for today, they didn't quite beat themselves. They tried.
- 41:08Speaker 6: Amen.
- 41:08Speaker 2: They tried, but they pulled it out in the end,
- 41:11Speaker 2: 19-17 over Philadelphia. For those on our flagship station, 1010XL.
- 41:14Speaker 2: In Jacksonville, we invite you to stick around. The scoreboard
- 41:17Speaker 2: show coming up next. And for those on the network
