  Speaker 1: Houston's coming to town this Sunday. Who's the player on
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Texans that scares you the most this week?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Really inderstood pass for Shure and rookie well c J
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Stroud scares me a little. But what really scares me
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: about the Texans is is they still believe in themselves.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Zam on this Thursday, presented by Field's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Auto Group, Kai Nani Stevens, grind Sexton, John Over. You're
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: here with us today as we get ready for Week
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: three against the Texans. We've moved on from lost against
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Chiefs and now we're focused on this divisional matchup against
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the Texans. And John, as you mentioned, this team has
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: struggled so far there oh in too, but th we're
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: just early in the season, so it really hasn't crushed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: them at any point. They're not at a point where
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: they're winless still, you know, halfway through the year. It's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: early on.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: They're ascending, or they believe they're ascending with a new coach,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a new plan, so they're all still buying in and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: in the NFL early in the season, when teams still believe,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: when they've got a quarterback who can throw like Stroud,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: You never know it's going to happen, and they won't
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: quit off of one early touchdown late in the season.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: You play a team like this, okay, well we know
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: this team's better than we are. They're not there yet,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: so they're always dangerous, even at home. Even though they
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: have a rookie quarterback Brian for.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: The first time in a couple of years, they've got
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: their honest to goodness direction set right. I mean, the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: last few years they had David Cuckliffe and then Lovey Smith,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and you just neither of those felt permanent because the
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: quarterback wasn't there. They were relying on Davis Mills. It
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: just felt like they were constantly in transition. Well, now
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: they've got Demiko Ryans, who is one of the bright
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: young coaches in the AFC, and CJ. Stroud has the
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: signs and showing all the signs of being an elite quarterback.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: He's got that capability. So it feels real and there's
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: no reason for them to doubt themselves.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: They just have to keep playing.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go over our big things for this
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Thursday on Jags Am be better. The team needs to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: play better than they did in week two against the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Chiefs if they want to win and they can't have
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a hangover. Part of the problem Doug Peterson said is
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: he didn't feel his team practiced very well last week,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and that's something taryor Lawrence talked about yesterday.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I agree, you know, we didn't. I think we were
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: flying around quite as good as we were, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: maybe the week before. And I think that's the adjustment
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: when you get in the season and when you play
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: these these long, physical games. You know, even take like
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: the Colts game in the first game, I was a physical, tough,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: four quarter game, and you just got to get used
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: to bouncing back and being ready to go on Wednesday
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Thursday for practice because you got to get the game
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: plan in. You got to get those reps to feel
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: good about it. And you know, I don't think we
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: did a great job necessarily last week of doing that,
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: especially on Wednesday. So that's the emphasis week. The guys
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: are ready to go. I think we're really locked in.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Guys are ready.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: We got to bring some energy and get back on track.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: There is something to be said for practicing like a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: championship team, Brian. I know Doug talked about that, but
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it's not something you take for granted. Not everybody knows
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: how to practice like that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: No, although I think these guys learned last year how
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to practice as they went through that. I was I
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: was surprised when I heard that from Doug, and then
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Trevor came up and said it, and everyone in the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: locker room talked about it, but nobody mentioned it on Sunday.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: You know, they kind of were pushed into a corner
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: where they had to admit that they didn't have quite
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: as good a week. The good news for them is
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: they had to admit it, they have to confront it,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and they have to work harder because everyone's looking.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: At them now well human beings. I mean, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: they had a bad week, they had a bad game.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I kind of buy in a little more to Doug's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: thoughts Monday when he talked about them pressing then I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: do the bad practice. It just felt to me when
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Doug and Trevor both talked about and even all the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: players were talking about how just fisting so tight, holding
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: on you try to make a play. It's like when
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you're behind in a baseball game, everybody's tying hit a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: home run, right, That's what it's sort of felt like
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and it made sense. Uh, the practice is it's fine.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I think you can overcome.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I hope that's it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I hope you're right, because if if you're not, I mean,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: if they just were human and didn't have a good week,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: then you have to ask yourself, well, why with one
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of the biggest games on your schedule and it's your
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: home opener and it's the Super Bowl champions do you
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: have a bad week?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Right? No one could explain it in the locker room issue,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: So I hope it was just a.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: A tightness a In fact, that's how I described it
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: on Monday. I hope that was the case, cause if
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you can't get up for the Kansasity Chiefs and the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: home opener and have a good week of practice, there's
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a bigger question to ask.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Hopefully a mix of both. Maybe they just got a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: little too excited for the game and took it. You know.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think they were ill prepared necessarily, but they
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: definitely are gonna refocus this week at their practice. Second
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: big thing this week is hold the line. A lot
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of the issues surrounding the offensive line injuries and then
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just not being able to hold the line in their
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs. Now Talking to Trevor yesterday, he
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: said he's not concerned. He had some good meetings and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he thinks things will be better this week.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: I know those guys are gonna we had some great
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: meetings this morning like we always do on Wednesdays, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: some of our protection stuff, and these guys are gonna
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: be just fine, not worried about it. You know, it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: all of us. It's all of us playing together and communicating.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: And you know, I don't think any any player on
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: offense played anywhere close to their best game on Sunday,
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: So it's not just those guys. We all got to
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: be better and we will be. And I think we
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: have the group that recognizes that there's nobody that thinks
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: that they played great on Sunday and thinks that they're
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: above any anyone else. So we understand where we're at.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: And I got a lot of confidence in those guys,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: and we'll put together a great plan and be prepared,
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: and it starts today and they're gonna fly around.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: We'll have a great practice.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: John, how concerned should we be about the offensive line
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not concerned over the long haul because I
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: believe it'll get fixed and with Cam Robbinson coming back
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: will help. I believe the guys who are playing it
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: just seems to me like in Anton, Harrison was playing
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: their shoulder in camp, walk a little, had a hip,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: two ankles on garden center, Sheriff and Fortner and then
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Bartch's coming back. Not to make excuses, but that's a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff going on, and they just haven't felt
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: powerful or in cohesion. But I think Doug talked yesterday
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: about something. It's a very key point that people miss
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: offensive lines the hardest thing to get going because of
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the cohesion. You don't have enough repster in training camp
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: because nobody hits like that anymore. So it usually gets
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: better as the season goes on. I think if they
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: stay healthy, get Cam back, that will start developing, because
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: frankly it did last year. It started off rough in
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the first game and got better as it season went on.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I think Rosh is a good coach. I have no
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: reason to think it won't get solved. But if it doesn't,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: it's back because that's hurt them in the first two weeks.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: What do you think here?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: He just said it all He's right, I mean, he
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: said it, he laid it out it. I think the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: biggest takeaway that I had from yesterday's press conference was
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: there's not a lot of reps in the preseason, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: he played those guys in the Miami game to get
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: them some, but still felt the urge to get them
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: out before they got hurt. So there's none of that anymore.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: They just got they gotta work their way into it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Here's one thing to look forward to help is on
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the way. You at least have a frontline starter in
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Cam Robinson who's back in the building, who will be
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: able to play in week five. That will give you
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: some flexibility with the injuries, some flexibility where you feel
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: like you have some weaknesses. Maybe left guard, you could
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: move Walker a little inside. If Anthony Harrison's shoulder isn't better,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you know, you could move Walker little to right tackle.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: So you've got some flexibility on the way. Most teams
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: don't have that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Big thing for I almost left Brian speechless, speechless, like.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Here's where I'm going with this, and John just answered, okay.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: All right. Our big thing three is lead the way.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That's about Trevor Lawrence Doug Pearson, speaking in his press conference,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the offense did struggle, but he said he has no
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: concerns about Trevor.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: He's a type of type of guy that you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: it bothers him when when he or the team doesn't
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: play well, it bothers him, and it bothers a lot
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: of guys, and you know, they I would say that
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: we didn't practice very well last week, you know, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: it starts there, starts in practice and being efficient and
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: and you know, we've got to have good days coming up.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: But you know, this team's been resilient that way, and
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: they seem to respond, you know, to each other and
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: the kinds of adversity that we sort of bring on ourselves.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something to be said about how you bounce
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: back from that adversity, Brian.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: And in a very subtle way, Doug put his team
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: on notice. Yes, he didn't have to say in front
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: of the media yesterday that we didn't practice very well
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: last week, because that became the story. Right everyone's talking
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: about that now. But in a very subtle way, he
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: let him know, this is.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: A performance based business.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: We all are judged on the way that we work
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: all week long, and then it is to payoff on
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the field, and so now everybody's gonna expect you to
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: have a great week of practice. I kind of like that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: He also said it in an answer about Trevor. I'm
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: not saying he was saying it about the quarterback, but
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I think it was about that whole thing, and the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: quarterback needs to lead that. Look, I'm not worried about Trevor,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I guess because if I was, the whole thing is
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: in shambles.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's a cornerstone, but that's.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Not what this is. I don't I've never thought that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: he is going to be an all time accuracy guy
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: every week with twenty four twenty five passing. I think
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: he's gonna have some misses, but he's going he's also
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: going to have runs where he is red hot. He
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: is such a good gamer, that's going to happen. I
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: just think, Look, if there are four toe tap touchdowns
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that don't happen, and the guy's got Christian Kirk by
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: his ankle and Christians bou to get away on Sunday,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: if those plays go another way, we're not panicking. It
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: was a game of inches game.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I think they're gonna be fine.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Well, back to the human part, I mean, you could
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: have a great week of practice and then have a
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: bad day, right, So we'll find out on Sunday, because
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: talking to guys in the locker room yesterday, they had
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: a good day on the practice field and they're planning,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: they're expecting, they're holding each other accountable to have a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: better day today.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: So we'll see how that all works out.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I also think you know they had the ball, it's
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: at the red zone with five minutes left in a
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: chance to win.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: They came up short.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Right, don't just start flushing and getting rid of things.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Figure out how to take what you got and make
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: it work better. And that's what this week is about.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right, stay with us. We're gonna move ahead
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and then we'll preview the matchup against the Texans as
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: we do a deep dot coming up after and break.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: All right, Well back here in dag Dam Studio on
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this Thursday, and we're gonna talk Texans. Now, we've been
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: talking so much about the Chiefs in that game, we've
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: turned the pain. We gotta look at the Texans and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: we can't overlook the Texans as well. Watched some of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: their media availability and we're gonna go over some of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the sound bites now because CJ. Stroud really does sell
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: all the right things. We've obviously in Jacksonville seen what
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback looks like when they come in and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe it wasn't great the year before and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: they're trying to rebuild something. They have a new co coach,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a new quarterback. And one of the things Stroud said
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that I really took to point was he wants to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: make others around him better. And he told a little
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: bit of a story of how he got to that
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: point in his career.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: What does it mean to play quarterback?
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Like what is like?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: What?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: What?
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: What's like your job? And I'm like to make plays?
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: I don't know, like you know what I'm saying, like,
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: and I said, to be a leader. He's like, yeahs right,
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: Like being a leader, making players all that stuff is great.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: But he was like, your your main jobs and make
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: people around you better, like on the field and off.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: And I took that to heart and ever since that moment, like,
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: I'm dedicated a lot of time, a lot of effort,
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: a lot of uh like mental capacity, a lot of
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: energy to that cause. And I told myself I would
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: never go back, and I will never We're great. Not
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: doing everything.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: That's a helplessness. You can't teach all the time, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I think for him to understand that at the young
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: age that he is, that's imposed well for him in
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's impressive and like a lot of quarterbacks who
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: play at the highest level of college football, playing at
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Ohio State puts him in front of the media a lot.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: And clearly he has been well coached and whoever besides
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: coaching right parents' mentors.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's very calm.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: He's an impressive young man.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're impressed with him. They think they've got their
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: franchise guy. In terms of this game, the thing that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: maybe the Jaguars can be a little optimistic about.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: He hasn't done a pick yet.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And he's been under pressure, Yeah, a lot of pressure.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: The percentages on that sort of start running out at
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: some point, he's gonna make a mistake. This is a
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: team that forces turnovers, the Jaguars. You wonder if the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: rubber meets the road on that this week. That's what
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I think the Jaguars are trying to get to.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: And I think they will well, and they don't.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: The Texans at this moment in time, don't have that
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: game breaking alpha receiver like a Calvin Ridley who can
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: get down the field and strike fear into your secondary,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: which means they'll probably feel more willing to take chances
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: on some balls to make plays.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We'll have to see as far as the scouting reports.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Stroud went on to say he knows a lot about
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Jacksonville defense. Here's what he had to say.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: First and foremost, their D line UH uh forty four
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: and forty one great players, set the age, run around
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: play well. Their D line really style, really big, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: their linebackers twenty three thirty three actually played against Uh
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: Devin and uh college two really good players not only
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: in in run run in the run game, but also
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: on pass coverage. UH thirty two Campbell, he's a really
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: good DV Cisco UH somethow I know personally he's a
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: good dude, UH, very aggressive, very uh good in coverage,
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: but also is is constantly making good tackles. Same thing
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: with two. And then thirty seven comes in plays and
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: Nickel plays really well. Thirty one's a solid corner. So
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: I don't I don't want to name drop. I know
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: all their names too, but sorry, but not a great
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: defense all the way around, and.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Didn't want name check anybody, but he basically name dropped
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: everybody started defense. So I was impressed. How much of
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it comes to studying early on and getting those habits, John,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: when you're a rookie, understanding what it takes to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a good quarterback.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Well, any quarterback and coach. When you start talking about
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: the details of quarterbacking, we'll talk about whether a guy
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: knows how to study film or not. Most quarterbacks don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: come into the league knowing how to study at a
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: high level. I don't know if you know he destruct
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: he studies, does he yet know how to prepare at
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the highest level. Probably not, because it's a learned skill.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: But when you're putting that sort of effort into it,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: if you're coached correctly, eventually effort and the coaching, the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: teaching yield a very intelligent quarterback. H All invcasion kids on.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Her way well, and look, he took the time to
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: be able to go through the list and share it
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: with the local media. They're in Houston, which is impressive enough.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I can't say enough about the kid.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I like him. I liked him at Ohio State.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I think he's going to be a very good player,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: and I think the AFC South has a great chance
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: to be a great quarterback division for years to come.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I know we talked a little bit about it yesterday,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: but he really seems like of the other rookie quarterbacks
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in the division, he's the one that you kind of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: see it already forming with him, even if it's just
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: two games in right now.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: He had a lot more experience with the ball in
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: his hand than Anthony Richardson. And I think Richard had
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: what thirteen games, three hundred passing attempts in his college career,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: and this kid put the ball all over the place,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: and he was accustomed to having great receivers. I mean,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: just look at the list, Chris Olavey, Garrett Wilson, Jackson
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba and of course Harrison who's there now.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: So I mean he's a guy who understands the intricacies
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: of the passing game. At some point point in time,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: when he's got weapons in Houston talking about shootout.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Right, he stands in the pocket and there's the ball
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the right people, and that gets you a long way.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: And he seems like he's gonna get get to get better.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: As somebody said yesterday, if you're gonna get this team,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: you better get him now.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Better for sure.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Tamiko Ryan's first year head coach there. He's a new
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: sheriff in town. Doesn't like to give away too too much,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: but he did say that Calvin Ridle is someone that's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be a problem for them to try to cover.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: Calvin is an explosive playmaker, right he's wherever he catches
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: the ball, you have to be ready. He's dynamic with
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: the ball in his hands, really great hands on the
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: on the perimeter of the defense. But he can also
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: take those short passes that we talked about. He can
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: go to the house. So when it comes to tackling,
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: we have.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: To be on it.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: Make sure we're playing great fundamental ball outside ins and
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: making him cut back inside. But Calvin is explosive, he's fast,
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: he's dynamic with the ball in his hands, and it'll
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: be a tough matchup for us.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Brian John, we were just talking about some of the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: injuries the team's dealing with. Brian, do you feel like
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Calvin can have a big day based on what the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Houston Yeah, it's going to deal with.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Based on the injury report.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, both those safeties and Jallen Petrie is a really
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: good player who you would think would be somewhere in
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: the vicinity of zero on the Jaguars uniform. Whether he
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: plays or not, it is a big question mark.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I don't think he practiced yesterday.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: So you're talking about a team that is set up
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: for the Jaguars to be able to go and do
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: what they do at a much higher level than they
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: did last week. Just a quick thought on Demico Ryant.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: He was a really good football player. He played for
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the Texans as a linebacker. Obviously, talking to people in
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: San Francisco in the offseason, this is a guy who
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: players loved playing for and you can see by his energy,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: the way that he the words that he uses that
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: players are going to love playing for him. In Houston,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: they finally have their guy.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: This team they're on the way they feel like they
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: have put together. In terms of this week, the question
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you asked Brian, anything the receivers have a chance to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: have game. The issue is to me is not so
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: much the secondary. Can the Jaguars get their front blocked.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I think once they get the front blocked, the story
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: every week is going to be more about the Jaguars receivers.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's a secondary that can do a
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: great job on this team if Trevor has time to throw.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: So I think that's the key matchup on that side
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: of the ball.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Worried about our line, but we do want to mention
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Houston's O line has had some issues as well, John
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: because Stroud's already been sacked eleven times in two games.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: So is that partly him being quarterback? Is that line
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: play rookie quarterback? Is that line players?
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: It combo both?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't watched their games enough to know what
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: it is. They are beat up on the offensive line,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: they're strow on the offensive line.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: My sense is this is not a Stroud issue. It's
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: an injury issue and it's where they're weak. So to me,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: this is the matchup that most favors the Jaguars is
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: defensive front versus Texans offensive front, and it's one that
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: a team that's rushing the passer pretty well is here
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: in the day.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Wars ought to take advantage of it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Larry Tunschel, who's their best offensive m and didn't play
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: last week and is questionable for this week. I would
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: imagine and Tyas Howard. Their right tackle is on injury reserve.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: So I mean, when you're going into the season, we're
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: go into a game with your top two offensive tackles down.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: That puts you in a huge hole.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Definitely troublesome. We'll see how things go on Sunday, coming
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: up with us. Stay with us here, because we're gonna
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: go over he will, he won't, he might for this
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: week's matchup against the Texans. All right, we got our
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: second divisional matchup of the year already, it's week three.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go with he will, he won't, he might.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Brian will start with you.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: I took Devin Lloyd because he's coming off a terrific game.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: He had eleven tackles and was all over the field,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: So I think he will be the dominant defender on
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Sunday against the Texans. He just looks like he's starting
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: to figure it out and get into that rhythm. You know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: we thought we saw it in training camp. We thought
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: we saw it during the pre but we didn't see
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: enough of it. Obviously, he's a starter. I think we
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: will see it on Sunday.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: He won't. I don't think look lost again.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I mean he's just got this thing now, has figured
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: it out. But he might be a guy who gets
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: a sack and an interception on Sunday against the Texans
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: because the rookie quarterback, as John mentioned, is due to
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: throw not just one pick but one of those multiple
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: meltdown sort of games. And he's been under pressure and
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Devin is equal parts rush the passer and drop back
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: into coverage. So I think this could set up to
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: be his kind of game.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Johnny Going was sixteen right before. He really won't he
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: mate this week?
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And we usually try to dig a little deeper bit.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: He's a storyline. He is, he will.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I think he will have time.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that everything that happened last
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: week was all a sixteen issue. It was cumulative. It
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: seemed off with the receivers, the offensive last show. I
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: think the line will give him time this week. He
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: won't worry about the past. He's always been pretty good
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: at bouncing back. He handles everything all right. He's under
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit of criticism, probably a little personal pressure.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I can't play that way in he handles that sort
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: of thing fine, And he might and almost went with
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a second he will, but it's kind of a confining thing.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: So he might. He will.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I think he'll have a I have a big game,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: a couple of touchdowns. I don't care to say about
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: his touchdown passes, but I think he'll get this offense
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: going in the right direction. I think it'll feel better.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe not great because the Texans are a good defense,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: but there will be signs after the game of okay,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: this is going in the right direction, but.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Hopefully a big bounce back day for everybody on offense.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I went defense though, because I went Traymon Walker for
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: he will, he want? He might. I think he will
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: have a day because, as we mentioned, c J. Stroud
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: has been sacked eleven times already the season. I think
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker will sack him on Sunday, and I think
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: he won't have any issues with the offensive line. We
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: mentioned a lot of there. We our offensive line we're
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: worried about, but Texans offensive line has a lot bigger
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: issues as they've allowed that many sacks so far this year,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and of course they're dealing with injuries as well. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: he might lead the team in sacks after this game.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, but I think he might be
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: able to out do Josh. I know Josh is still
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: dealing with that shoulder injury. I think if Trayvon has
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a big day, like we saw what the pass rush
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: was able to do against another rookie quarterback in Anthony Richardson,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: if Trayvon goes off, he might might jump his way
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: up the line.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: And if Trayvon goes off, he might make it a
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: lot easier on Josh when he does get his pass
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: rushes in and Calebon chas on who came alive last week.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: This is Calebon's hometown team, so maybe he can build
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: and put together back to back strong performances.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would be mad about that if
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: we got some production out of Kalebon.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: By the way, it's Walker Libble's hometown team.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: We have a bunch of Texas guys.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: And those two guys played together at Episcopal High in Houston.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: They were high school teammates.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Oh very cool.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: We love a fun fact wonderful stay with us, So
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I'm out We're gonna go around the locker room right
• 22:54

  Speaker 1: You know.
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: As a offense, we we wanna be the best. I mean,
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: we wanna move the ball in when you go in
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: the game like that and the defense plays like that
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: versus the you know, the super Bowl champs and the
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: offense that we're supposed to be. You know, I tell
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: you right now, all of us on offense, the starters,
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: we we were pissed off about that performance and that
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: we couldn't come through for the for the for the team.
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: As you know, the offense. Whatever we're not, we know
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: the officers gonna handle what they need to handle and
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: once once that time comes, we're gonna be rolling. And uh,
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: you know that's what we're really really excited about. Defensively,
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: we have to keep up, keep it up, and uh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: we keep putting ourselves in positions.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: To get the ball back to offense.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: No sense of panic in that locker room. I think
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: everybody's a that things will get back on track this
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: week and hopefully the offense will look like what we
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: expected them to look like before the season started. So
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: let's go through our picks who you guys got this
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: weekend Against the Texans in Week three.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I think the Jaguars win. I think it may be
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a little similar to Week one in the sense that
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not big on predicting blowouts in the
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: NFL because I think it doesn't happen all that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: The team blown.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Out often has to make unforced mistakes. To have that happen,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: you have to have a bagging to get a blow
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: But I do think you can win convincingly and impressively,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: and I think the Jaguars will win something on lines
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: of you know, twenty eight thirty to maybe fourteen and
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: feel really good about it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I think what you'll feel, John is that they'll be
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: in control, right, They'll come out, they'll handle business, they'll
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: score early. You know, they'll keep them at arm's length
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: the whole way through the game because they're a better team,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: they are more healthy, or they're playing at home and
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: as you just trick Calvinsator pissed off.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's fair to expect them to do that.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, absolutely, and I think we should set
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the bar high for them always and definitely a bounce
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: back week for them. I'm going to go. I think
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: twenty ten is what I'm going to go to because
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I hope the defense can. They've they've shown that they
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: can handle a workie quarterback, and I think with stroudstaying
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: in the pocket, they might have a really good week.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: And you know, both of you just picked it twenty
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: eight or more points right on week that they're coming
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: off of not scoring a single touchdown. I think that's
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: the expectation, right. We've seen enough of this offense. We
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: understand what's there. So if that's what we're saying, now,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: you understand why there's a confident in the locker room
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: when you hear a guy like Josh allency. We're not
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: worried about them.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Their confidence makes us confident.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, there was a time around here where
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: twenty eight point seemed like an intermountable obstacle. It's kind
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: of interesting to not be in that position anymore.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Times are good, for sure, all right. Sunday's matchup against
