1:53
Speaker 4: have only been on the year together, have you? We haven't, No,
1:56
Speaker 4: we haven't, but I've heard him.
1:57
Speaker 7: He does an excellent job, just as he did when
1:59
Speaker 7: I the privileged coaching when he was playing here. Yeah,
2:02
Speaker 7: that's right, those are the days, what years were that
2:05
Speaker 7: very very active player for us.
2:06
Speaker 3: So for me it would have been twenty ten, twenty thirteen.
2:08
Speaker 6: That's right.
2:09
Speaker 5: And obviously we talked about coach Duff. I mean he
2:11
Speaker 5: was the linebackers coach. And talk about some of those
2:14
Speaker 5: linebackers in Papa's loz and you talk about Russell Allen,
2:16
Speaker 5: Darryl Smith. I mean, he always had those guys ready
2:18
Speaker 5: to play.
2:19
Speaker 6: Shoot, that was easy.
2:20
Speaker 5: Let me.
2:22
Speaker 6: I worked hard not to screw them up.
2:23
Speaker 3: That's for sure. I love that. Hey, we've got plenty
2:25
Speaker 3: to get to.
2:26
Speaker 4: Of course, the Jaguars twelve and four seven straight wins
2:30
Speaker 4: a win or a tie away from a division title.
2:33
Speaker 4: They've only won four division titles in thirty previous seasons.
2:36
Speaker 3: Of NFL football.
2:37
Speaker 4: Here in Jacksonville, Austin coach, I mean, this is they're
2:40
Speaker 4: on the doorstep of something that you get a banner for.
2:43
Speaker 3: And I had a T shirt here we go.
2:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we talk about, you know, when this
2:47
Speaker 5: team finds motivation, whether it's from the outside noise or
2:50
Speaker 5: things like that.
2:50
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't really need that much more motivation
2:52
Speaker 3: going into this week.
2:53
Speaker 5: Right, You're you're playing a Tennessee Titans team that you've
2:56
Speaker 5: already beat once. But this is for the division. This
2:58
Speaker 5: is for a home player off games, So I think
3:01
Speaker 5: you have all the incentive to put some extra work
3:03
Speaker 5: in in the film room, you know, do some next
3:05
Speaker 5: work on the field, and get ready to go well.
3:07
Speaker 7: And you know we were talking earlier with Patrick and
3:09
Speaker 7: when he was in here. You know, I've been I
3:11
Speaker 7: was in the league twenty eight years and I rec calculated.
3:15
Speaker 7: I think it's been six times out of twenty eight
3:18
Speaker 7: that I had the privilege to be a division champion
3:20
Speaker 7: and get a hat and T shirt. So my point
3:22
Speaker 7: is it's hard to do. And what they've done this year,
3:25
Speaker 7: when you look at it in terms of the successes,
3:27
Speaker 7: the challenges, the adversity they faced across the board, it's
3:31
Speaker 7: been an outstanding We got to finish it in championship State,
3:34
Speaker 7: in the championship way.
3:35
Speaker 5: Coach, I want to ask, because you actually tell a
3:36
Speaker 5: story about the Rolls Bowl when you're at Ohio State
3:39
Speaker 5: and you essentially played the same team in the same year, right,
3:41
Speaker 5: and then you have a Jacksonville Jaguars team right now
3:43
Speaker 5: geting ready to pay the Titans for I think the
3:45
Speaker 5: second time in what three or four weeks?
3:46
Speaker 3: Six weeks, yeah, six weeks.
3:48
Speaker 5: How hard it is to really get you guys up
3:50
Speaker 5: again to try to beat the same team twice.
3:52
Speaker 7: Well, you got to be very careful because you know
3:54
Speaker 7: we and we actually beat them pretty well. They they
3:56
Speaker 7: have since now gotten a lot better. They've gone two
3:58
Speaker 7: and two since that game, and their offense is improving
4:01
Speaker 7: a lot of faces of what they're doing is getting better.
4:03
Speaker 7: Their quarterback plays gotten better. So you can't overlook this team.
4:07
Speaker 7: I think we got a little too chummy with UCLA
4:10
Speaker 7: is who it was. This was back in nineteen seventy
4:12
Speaker 7: five and seventy six and at Ohio State we were
4:14
Speaker 7: eleven and oh number one in the country. We play
4:17
Speaker 7: them and the rose Bow and got our back end
4:19
Speaker 7: handed to us. So you know, you can't take anything
4:21
Speaker 7: for granted. What happened in the past is in the past.
4:24
Speaker 7: Get your eyes on the bullseye which is right in
4:27
Speaker 7: front of which this week is going to be one
4:28
Speaker 7: o'clock against Tennessee.
4:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll dig into the matchups coming up shortly. A
4:33
Speaker 4: final look at last week. Though the Jaguars trailed ten
4:37
Speaker 4: to nothing, they had two first half red zone giveaways.
4:40
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence found away with his legs in the game,
4:43
Speaker 4: two rushing scores that's been a nice addition to this
4:46
Speaker 4: offense as of late. And then the defense stuff, as
4:49
Speaker 4: they always do, shut down the run games. Jonathan Taylor
4:52
Speaker 4: had nowhere to go up front and Philip Rivers can't
4:54
Speaker 4: throw it past twenty five yards, So that was the
4:56
Speaker 4: game plan.
4:57
Speaker 6: Without a doubt.
4:57
Speaker 7: I thought, really the halftime adjustment much that they made
5:01
Speaker 7: coming back and getting the two takeaways critical which they've
5:05
Speaker 7: done a great job with all season long, really a
5:08
Speaker 7: testament to the preparation by the team, but also the
5:11
Speaker 7: adjustments by the coaches at halftime. And you know, when
5:13
Speaker 7: you think about it, right now, they've I think since
5:15
Speaker 7: week eleven we've given them given up like fifteen points
5:18
Speaker 7: a game.
5:19
Speaker 6: As far as that's concerned.
5:20
Speaker 7: They're up right now to I think thirty takeaways for
5:24
Speaker 7: the season, which I think second in the league, far
5:26
Speaker 7: better than a year ago, which was a goal and objective,
5:29
Speaker 7: and twenty one interceptions, which I think right now is
5:31
Speaker 7: right at the all time mark for the team. So
5:35
Speaker 7: great progress, great production right now, and we look forward
5:38
Speaker 7: to it continuing again.
5:39
Speaker 6: Like I said at one o'clock in the stadium on Sunday.
5:41
Speaker 5: And to me, I think that they really showcase what
5:43
Speaker 5: their strong suit is, and it's the ability to adapt.
5:45
Speaker 3: We talked about it all year, you know.
5:46
Speaker 5: I think that that defense did a great job in
5:48
Speaker 5: that second half, whether it's bringing Trayvon Walker down to
5:51
Speaker 5: four I moving you know, Dennis Gardeck down to the
5:54
Speaker 5: outside linebacker role. That really kind of stifled Jonathan Taylor
5:58
Speaker 5: on the other side. Then obviously these had some mistakes
6:01
Speaker 5: in the red zone and everything. But this is the
6:02
Speaker 5: beauty about football. Even when you make mistakes, you don't
6:05
Speaker 5: play your best game. As long as you win and
6:07
Speaker 5: you can learn from that win, it's a great problem
6:10
Speaker 5: to be in.
6:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, the offense, Trevor Lawrence doing his thing. Yeah, they
6:14
Speaker 4: had the fumble on the hook and lateral play on
6:17
Speaker 4: a driver. They were moving the football, and then later
6:20
Speaker 4: in the half and up there in the red zone
6:21
Speaker 4: Againity forces one endo the end zone there for the pick.
6:24
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that's part of what happens right now. We've
6:28
Speaker 7: gotten spoiled here lately with his productive play and he did.
6:32
Speaker 7: He was productive in this game. I think that the
6:36
Speaker 7: hook and latter as you referred to in the redsill,
6:38
Speaker 7: was part of the fifteen play script which they were
6:40
Speaker 7: moving the ball beautifully right. It was well done. So
6:43
Speaker 7: I don't second guess that I like it. That's something
6:45
Speaker 7: again you want to present to the defense to make
6:48
Speaker 7: him prepare for and the other throw. I mean, it
6:50
Speaker 7: happens right now. I mean he's playing great ball. I
6:52
Speaker 7: see great confidence. I see he's using his legs in
6:56
Speaker 7: a way that's as good as any quarterback in the
6:59
Speaker 7: league right now, right at the very top in terms
7:01
Speaker 7: of a quarterback using those legs in productive, productive fashion.
7:05
Speaker 7: So I mean, heck, I think it's excellent. And then
7:07
Speaker 7: when you look to it, what Etn continues to do
7:11
Speaker 7: when he has over eighty some yard eighty two or
7:13
Speaker 7: three yards and scrimmage yards. Right now, we're undefeated, and
7:16
Speaker 7: so his contribution not only as a runner but as
7:19
Speaker 7: a receiver has been exceptional.
7:21
Speaker 6: So bring it on, baby.
7:23
Speaker 3: Hey, coach, we talked about running football.
7:25
Speaker 5: On the other side of the ball, the Jaguars, I mean,
7:27
Speaker 5: you want to talk about their identity on defense, One
7:28
Speaker 5: of the biggest identities is stopping the run.
7:31
Speaker 3: You know, and obviously you know this guy very well.
7:33
Speaker 5: Joe Collin used to always say, stopping the run is
7:35
Speaker 5: more of a it's a mindset, it's an attitude than
7:38
Speaker 5: is actually a skill set. I mean, is that what
7:40
Speaker 5: you attribute to this Jaguars defense, Because let's be honest,
7:43
Speaker 5: there's not a lot of household names on a national
7:45
Speaker 5: level on this Jaguars defense.
7:46
Speaker 3: But in terms of stopping the run, they've done a
7:48
Speaker 3: great job all year.
7:49
Speaker 7: Exceptional I mean, and in fact, they're on a pace
7:52
Speaker 7: maybe to be as good as any team's ever been
7:54
Speaker 7: at stopping the run.
7:54
Speaker 6: I mean, that's how good they're doing right now.
7:56
Speaker 7: And like you said, they, I mean they handled the
7:59
Speaker 7: running game a great great back last week with Taylor
8:02
Speaker 7: and now on the other side of the ball. Shoot,
8:04
Speaker 7: we ran the ball for over one hundred and twenty
8:05
Speaker 7: yards and four point zero against a team that statistically
8:08
Speaker 7: per carry was number one, and I think in the
8:10
Speaker 7: league as a yards per carry, I think there were
8:13
Speaker 7: three seven Indianapolis. So we objections that we had that
8:17
Speaker 7: were critical to winning that football game we met and surpassed.
8:21
Speaker 4: One more thought on Trevor Lawrence here and the running
8:24
Speaker 4: game of the quarterback. I mean, he's closing in on
8:27
Speaker 4: some big time numbers. He's you know, he's two hundred
8:29
Speaker 4: and forty eight passing yards to get to four thousand
8:32
Speaker 4: for another time in his career, one more rushing score
8:35
Speaker 4: for ten rushing touchdowns this year. There's only two other
8:38
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in league history to have those two marks in
8:41
Speaker 4: one season. I mean Josh Allen in twenty twenty three,
8:43
Speaker 4: Cam Newton in twenty eleven. What, especially in the quarterback
8:48
Speaker 4: running game bothers defenders the most. You guys both run
8:52
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the football. As a coordinator, as
8:54
Speaker 4: a defensive end, what does this add to the equation.
8:58
Speaker 7: Well, it's nightmares. It's called nightmare. I mean when you
9:01
Speaker 7: know and this guy can do it as good as anybody.
9:03
Speaker 7: And I was always beating the table since I came
9:06
Speaker 7: here for him to continue to do it, because I
9:08
Speaker 7: felt in the past he didn't do it as much
9:10
Speaker 7: and it was less less of a concern to you
9:13
Speaker 7: as a defensive coach or a coordinator. But Jason Pete,
9:16
Speaker 7: right now, you have got to, you know again, scramble
9:22
Speaker 7: proof your defenses because he can do it as good
9:25
Speaker 7: as anybody. He's going to extend plays and so all
9:28
Speaker 7: that stuff plastering in the back end, and then when
9:30
Speaker 7: you have quarterback design plays like they ran and was
9:33
Speaker 7: untouched down in the red zone, down there for a touchdown,
9:37
Speaker 7: part of his two rushing touchdowns.
9:38
Speaker 6: It's scary for you.
9:39
Speaker 7: So, I mean, it just adds another component to what
9:43
Speaker 7: already is a scary thing, especially with defending us right now,
9:46
Speaker 7: with all the weapons that have emerged, the receivers, E
9:49
Speaker 7: tenn the tight end, strange, this quarterback now, I mean, jeez, o, Peach,
9:53
Speaker 7: you can't. I mean, you're dying right now, You're hoping.
9:56
Speaker 7: Oh what do I have to stop? How about everybody,
9:59
Speaker 7: especially with the quarterbacks doing so I'm so pleased and
10:02
Speaker 7: so proud of what Trevor's doing right now, and we
10:05
Speaker 7: got to protect him and keep healthy.
10:06
Speaker 5: I mean, it's been a big difference this year as
10:08
Speaker 5: soon as he's been able to use his legs. And
10:10
Speaker 5: I remember like planning for you know, game plans against
10:12
Speaker 5: different quarterbacks, like whether it was Tom Brady or Payton Manning.
10:14
Speaker 5: Not very mobile quarterbacks, right, but you have to respect
10:17
Speaker 5: their IQ, you have to respect their accuracy and everything.
10:19
Speaker 5: But I always remember the game plans against guys like
10:21
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers in his prime or Mike Vick. Those kept
10:24
Speaker 5: you up at night because as a pass rusher, you
10:26
Speaker 5: almost have to change the way that you pass rush. Now,
10:29
Speaker 5: you can't implement all these different games because if a
10:32
Speaker 5: guy gets, you know, out of his gap for a second,
10:34
Speaker 5: the quarterback sees it, he can try to buy some
10:37
Speaker 5: more time or else take off for a first down.
10:39
Speaker 5: So there's just a certain guys around the league, you know,
10:41
Speaker 5: bow Knicks I think fits in this, justin Herbert Drake
10:44
Speaker 5: May And it's great to see Trevor Lawrence's conversation now
10:47
Speaker 5: where they're a threat with their legs, but they're a
10:49
Speaker 5: threat to extend the play as well. And as a
10:51
Speaker 5: defensive lineman, there's nothing worse than that.
10:54
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And we'll get to the Jaguars defensive perspective this
10:58
Speaker 4: week on cam Ward, a guy who can move around
11:01
Speaker 4: and has some mobility as well. We got plenty ahead.
11:04
Speaker 4: Pri Productions, the official event production company of the Jaguars,
11:07
Speaker 4: has everything you need to bring your next idea to life.
11:10
Speaker 4: Visit PRII Productions dot com. We're on ten to xl
11:13
Speaker 4: AM ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com and
11:16
Speaker 4: Jaguars YouTube.
11:17
Speaker 3: Plenty ahead more turn and.
11:19
Speaker 4: Take a look at the Titans defense, especially that defensive front.
11:24
Speaker 4: We saw him just a few weeks ago. They're still there. Yeah,
11:28
Speaker 4: they've won three games. But those guys up front are
11:31
Speaker 4: real and we'll dig into some reasons why it is
11:35
Speaker 4: Jaguars Happy.
11:35
Speaker 8: Hour such a pain because they do a good job
11:53
Speaker 8: moving them around. Yeah, you can expect him to be
11:56
Speaker 8: at one place at times, but then in base defense
11:59
Speaker 8: he'll move a lit and then in known passing situations
12:02
Speaker 8: they'll move him around. He's extremely strong. I mean what
12:07
Speaker 8: he does to people out on that football field that
12:10
Speaker 8: are grown men is pretty impressive. Seriously, I'm not comparing
12:15
Speaker 8: to Aaron Donald, but I was with Aaron on a
12:17
Speaker 8: daily basis and I saw what he did to other
12:21
Speaker 8: grown men a lot, and it was like, Wow, all right, dude,
12:25
Speaker 8: you're different.
12:28
Speaker 3: Leam Cohen, Jaguars head coach, speaking today.
12:30
Speaker 4: It was a little under the weather on Wednesday, little
12:32
Speaker 4: something going around the building this week, Welcome back.
12:34

12:48
Speaker 4: Jaguars matchup Week eighteen. The game presented by Ticketmaster. There
12:52
Speaker 4: are tickets available Jaguars dot Com slash tickets nine oh
12:56
Speaker 4: four six three three two thousand. They are going fast
12:59
Speaker 4: though for this Sunday's game. One o'clock kickoff time. And
13:03
Speaker 4: yes he's talking about Jeffrey sevens there defensive tackle. A
13:07
Speaker 4: career high ten sacks this year. He's a Pro Bowl selection.
13:11
Speaker 4: A sack or more in all six of his road
13:14
Speaker 4: games this year and they would be the most road
13:18
Speaker 4: game sacks in a season in franchise history if he
13:20
Speaker 4: can get one this week.
13:22
Speaker 3: And you know what, He's all over the.
13:25
Speaker 4: Backfield, quarterback pressures, leads defensive tackles in the league in sacks,
13:31
Speaker 4: quarterback pressures and quick ones too.
13:33
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy is a handful. Yeah.
13:34
Speaker 5: I mean it's one thing if your defensive tackle, you know,
13:37
Speaker 5: and then you're stylid and stopping the run. But it's
13:39
Speaker 5: another thing when you're very versed as well as getting
13:41
Speaker 5: after the quarterback like he is. He's an explosive monster,
13:45
Speaker 5: a big dude, and I arguably one of the best
13:48
Speaker 5: I think three techniques last defensive tackles in the Tyro NFL.
13:50
Speaker 5: I think sometimes he gets lost in the sauce a
13:52
Speaker 5: little bit in the team that he plays for.
13:54
Speaker 3: But definitely one of the best players in the league.
13:56
Speaker 7: I think, oh my gosh, a correct, Austin, We'll stay.
14:00
Speaker 7: I mean, he's having a career year, as you just mentioned, JP,
14:03
Speaker 7: I mean in every area, career rise right now, sacks, tackles,
14:06
Speaker 7: for lost, quarterback hits, fumbles caused, I mean, jesel pte.
14:10
Speaker 6: I mean, he's unbelievable.
14:11
Speaker 7: And even last week, you know, as a sack fumble
14:14
Speaker 7: in the game against the Orleans which helps keep them
14:16
Speaker 7: in the game. Actually they started out playing very, very well.
14:18
Speaker 7: The guy is quick off the ball for the size
14:21
Speaker 7: that Dawston just referred to. And now you put him
14:24
Speaker 7: in there with with sweat. Ninety three I think is
14:27
Speaker 7: his number. The ninety eight ninety three. Jesus, they got
14:30
Speaker 7: they got men inside right now, they can can really
14:32
Speaker 7: push the pocket, can you know, knock the line back
14:35
Speaker 7: as far as that's concerned, to stort the line of scrimmage,
14:38
Speaker 7: real players up front.
14:39
Speaker 6: So he is absolutely a guy you got to know
14:41
Speaker 6: where he is the entire time.
14:43
Speaker 4: Simmons had six tackles and a sack and two quarterback
14:45
Speaker 4: hits last meeting.
14:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is going to be.
14:48
Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting philosophy, I think for Liam Conning
14:50
Speaker 5: this offense, because you look at this Tennessee Titans team
14:52
Speaker 5: since Simmons has come back and everything, and they've kind
14:55
Speaker 5: of found a new resurgence and stopping the run, right.
14:57
Speaker 5: I think the first time the Jags went on against
14:59
Speaker 5: the Times, I think like a two point seven if
15:01
Speaker 5: I'm not mistaken yards per carry. So it wasn't the
15:03
Speaker 5: best running day for the Jaguars, and I think that
15:06
Speaker 5: the Saints kind of put out the mo of how
15:07
Speaker 5: to beat the Tennessee Titans right now, you want to
15:09
Speaker 5: beat them through the air. The question comes if you're
15:11
Speaker 5: Liam Cohen the Jacksonville Jaguars, do you stick with your
15:14
Speaker 5: identity and try to run the football and get ready
15:17
Speaker 5: for the playoffs or do you take maybe the easier
15:19
Speaker 5: road and do you try to beat them through the air?
15:22
Speaker 7: Well in the Saints suggests, as you mentioned, had a
15:24
Speaker 7: lot of success with a quick passing game. Okay, now
15:27
Speaker 7: on the other side of the corner, as far as
15:29
Speaker 7: that's concerned, they only had I think the Saints like
15:31
Speaker 7: ninety two yards at the halftime, So this defense is
15:35
Speaker 7: getting better.
15:35
Speaker 6: As far as that's concerned.
15:36
Speaker 7: I'm talking about Tennessee right now, and we'll get their
15:38
Speaker 7: best effort across the board. I mean, they're gonna again,
15:41
Speaker 7: they got nothing to lose, everything to gain, and they'd
15:44
Speaker 7: love to be the spoiler in terms of where we're
15:45
Speaker 7: trying to go. So again we're going to get their
15:48
Speaker 7: best shot.
15:49
Speaker 6: Count on it.
15:50
Speaker 5: Coach in terms of, like, you know, a team identity,
15:51
Speaker 5: because obviously Liam Cohen stated of this when he first
15:54
Speaker 5: got here. You know, they want to be a physical,
15:55
Speaker 5: running the football type of team. The way to beat
15:58
Speaker 5: the Titans might be through the air a little bit.
16:00
Speaker 5: So you know, as a former coach yourself, like, do
16:02
Speaker 5: you does the ego come into play here where it's
16:04
Speaker 5: like we got to run the ball against at Tennessee
16:06
Speaker 5: Titans or do you just more kind of take what.
16:08
Speaker 3: They give you.
16:09
Speaker 7: I think you take what they give you, and I
16:11
Speaker 7: think that's what Liam's done really well here this last
16:14
Speaker 7: seven game stretch that they've had right now. They'd love
16:17
Speaker 7: to say, hey, we're going to run it down your
16:18
Speaker 7: throat each and every week, but they found the passing game.
16:21
Speaker 7: They found different ways to move and score points at
16:24
Speaker 7: a clip that nobody's doing really as far as that's
16:26
Speaker 7: concerned right now, so I think you take what you
16:28
Speaker 7: give them. We want to establish the run game, and
16:31
Speaker 7: this group's got some vulnerability as far as that's concerned.
16:34
Speaker 7: I mean, they're not unbelievable as far as that's concerned,
16:37
Speaker 7: but that interior is a concern for sure. And their
16:40
Speaker 7: linebacker Gray, this guy's ranked I think in the top
16:43
Speaker 7: six in the league in terms of total plays tackles.
16:45
Speaker 7: I think he's got one hundred and fifty six hits.
16:47
Speaker 7: So I mean they've got some productive players. But again,
16:50
Speaker 7: I think we've got enough weapons to utilize the quick
16:53
Speaker 7: passing game and extension of the running game, the play
16:56
Speaker 7: action game, which has been outstanding coming up, quarterback on
16:59
Speaker 7: the move. A lot of weapons for them to handle,
17:01
Speaker 7: that's for sure.
17:02
Speaker 4: We've got the injury report coming up in just a
17:04
Speaker 4: little bit. We've gotta see what's going on the offensive
17:06
Speaker 4: line this week as well. Robert Hainesy was out last week.
17:09
Speaker 4: Patrick Gricarry, the right guard was out last week. Are
17:13
Speaker 4: those guys back in the mix. We'll see. We'll get
17:15
Speaker 4: to the report coming up with that. That's obviously a
17:18
Speaker 4: huge matchup this week up well.
17:19
Speaker 5: And that's something you got to clean up a little
17:20
Speaker 5: bit from the Colts game as well. Right, the offensive
17:22
Speaker 5: line did look a little poorous. You know, Walker Little
17:24
Speaker 5: didn't have his best game. I think he's still trying
17:26
Speaker 5: to learn that guard position because Cold Van Landing seemed
17:28
Speaker 5: to ruin the position for everybody.
17:30
Speaker 3: Not everyone could be Cold Van Lannon and play every
17:32
Speaker 3: spot on the offensive line. And you know, great out
17:34
Speaker 3: very well.
17:35
Speaker 5: Sometimes guys need a little time to acclimate to a
17:38
Speaker 5: new position. But yeah, this will be a great test,
17:40
Speaker 5: especially for that interior offensive line because they do have
17:43
Speaker 5: two great guys in the middle spearheaded by Jeffrey Simmons.
17:46
Speaker 6: And I think you got to I'm with you on
17:48
Speaker 6: all that was just said there.
17:49
Speaker 7: I think you got to give credit to this offensive
17:51
Speaker 7: line though, again with multiple position moves. As far as
17:55
Speaker 7: that's concerned, Anton Harrison plays sick.
17:58
Speaker 6: I mean he sucked it up and played and they.
18:00
Speaker 7: Still came through with a three hundred and seventy yard
18:03
Speaker 7: total offense effort over one hundred and twenty yards rushing
18:07
Speaker 7: seven out of fourteen on thirten, a Dame productive day.
18:11
Speaker 7: You know, as far as our offense is concerned. When
18:13
Speaker 7: you think again that nine straight games are twenty three
18:16
Speaker 7: points plus. I mean, Jezel Pete, that's unflip and believable.
18:19
Speaker 7: We're averaging twenty seven points a games. So, I mean,
18:22
Speaker 7: a lot of great things happen, and it starts in
18:25
Speaker 7: the trenches with you align no doubt about that.
18:27
Speaker 4: Last time out against these Titans, Jacobe Myers, six targets,
18:31
Speaker 4: six catches, ninety yards, touchdown, print and Strange had a
18:35
Speaker 4: touchdown as well. Toot And had a rushing score in
18:38
Speaker 4: the game. But the passing game and the versatility of
18:41
Speaker 4: these different receivers and targets really has seemed to settle
18:45
Speaker 4: a in Parker. Washington's playing big right now. Yeah, and
18:48
Speaker 4: then you got Myers, mister reliable. Strange is playing at
18:50
Speaker 4: a high level. Thomas has his moments, though he needs
18:54
Speaker 4: to have some more of them, probably down the stretch
18:56
Speaker 4: in the playoffs.
18:57
Speaker 5: But they've got a lot of different things they can
18:59
Speaker 5: do through the year. And that's the beautiful thing, especially
19:01
Speaker 5: going to the playoffs. You know, I think there's two
19:03
Speaker 5: types of offenses. Is you have the offenses that have
19:05
Speaker 5: like the one receiver, right, like the Justin Jefferson, the
19:08
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase to aj Brown, where you feel like you
19:10
Speaker 5: have to get them ten targets a game to try
19:13
Speaker 5: to make them happy and to try to justify the contract.
19:15
Speaker 5: And then you have the other side where it's like,
19:17
Speaker 5: all right, we have a one A, A one B,
19:19
Speaker 5: A one C. And that's what Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Junior,
19:22
Speaker 5: and Jacobe Myers really are. Don't thikt about Brenton Strange
19:25
Speaker 5: as well? And by the way, chevs etn can catch
19:27
Speaker 5: the football as well. So I mean, if I'm a
19:29
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, I'm staying up late at night because if
19:32
Speaker 5: you take one guy away, two other guys can step
19:35
Speaker 5: up in their place, right, And I think as a
19:36
Speaker 5: defensive corner that's probably the hardest thing to game plan is, well,
19:39
Speaker 5: do we take the deep shot away from Brian Thomas Junior.
19:42
Speaker 5: That's what the Broncos try to do, and that's what
19:45
Speaker 5: the Colts try to do. Putting Sauce Gardner on on
19:47
Speaker 5: Brian Thomas Junior, Well what happened?
19:49
Speaker 3: You know, the other guys stepped up, including Parker Washington.
19:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why you don't want to face this team
19:53
Speaker 7: right now. I mean they're hitting a destride in a big,
19:55
Speaker 7: big way. And that's why you want to be the
19:57
Speaker 7: defensive coach on this team. Anthony Campani loves the fact
20:01
Speaker 7: that we're scoring at a clip like we are, that
20:03
Speaker 7: we got the weapons that we got, that we're raising
20:05
Speaker 7: hell with the opponents. You know, of our defensive coordinator
20:10
Speaker 7: objective is always to make the opponent's press box nervous,
20:13
Speaker 7: and that's exactly what this team's doing here in Jacksonville.
20:16
Speaker 3: Jaggs teams will play with a lead a lot.
20:18
Speaker 4: We'll get to the defense coming up, but that certainly
20:21
Speaker 4: helps the defense. When you're leading second half of games,
20:24
Speaker 4: you can get after it in the pass.
20:26
Speaker 3: Rush and all those things without a time.
20:27
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, that's that's that's critical as far
20:30
Speaker 7: as that's concerned. So I'm in again. The best offense
20:33
Speaker 7: you have, the best defense you have is a ball
20:35
Speaker 7: control offense, and we've got that going right now.
20:37
Speaker 4: Sounds good to me. Let's come back in a moment.
20:40
Speaker 4: Kay Nannie Stevens will join us in studio as well.
20:42
Speaker 4: Jaguars reporter will take a look at the Titans offense
20:46
Speaker 4: and cam Ward and what he's been doing since the
20:50
Speaker 4: last matchup.
20:51
Speaker 3: He's been doing a lot of things.
20:52
Speaker 7: A lot of real good things improving each and every week.
20:55
Speaker 7: You watch the game last week, a lot of wow plays.
20:58
Speaker 3: Wow plays.
20:59
Speaker 4: We will get it those coming up and from the

Speaker 8: Mentally and physically tough dudes that love to play football
21:32
Speaker 8: and they love the game of football. That's where it
21:35
Speaker 8: starts for me and for us as a team is
21:39
Speaker 8: there's so much that goes into being a professional football player, right,
21:43
Speaker 8: and you try to within a team that's obviously the
21:50
Speaker 8: number one focus, right, But every individual has to be
21:52
Speaker 8: able to fit into that team differently, right, because everybody
21:55
Speaker 8: is truly different, and so those standards, though, don't change.
22:01
Speaker 4: Liam Cohen asked earlier today, what is what does it
22:05
Speaker 4: mean to be a Jaguar?
22:06

Speaker 9: I don't know.
22:37
Speaker 2: I'm trying to read some books, get a little knowledgeable,
22:39
Speaker 2: you know, learn more about ball.
22:40
Speaker 9: Maybe I'll read some football know.
22:42
Speaker 3: Enough about ball as it is.
22:44
Speaker 4: Well, you guys, resolutions we even talked about you.
22:50
Speaker 3: I didn't really have one.
22:51
Speaker 5: Man.
22:51
Speaker 3: Now, I'm just you know, I just take a one
22:53
Speaker 3: day at a time. I'llow Liam Cohen right, I'm not
22:56
Speaker 3: trying to look forward to the whole year. I'm just taking
22:57
Speaker 3: a one day at a time right now.
22:58
Speaker 6: I'm right with you. I'm trying to get just get better.
23:00
Speaker 6: They're better at living, right, Yeah, that's going to.
23:04
Speaker 3: Be living dying, no doubt about it.
23:08
Speaker 4: Hey, let's get to the Jaguars defensive coverage of the game,
23:11
Speaker 4: presented by g EAJ giver the Employees Health Association benefits
23:15
Speaker 4: for federal employees and retirees. We take a look at
23:18
Speaker 4: the Titans offense. What will the Jaguars be covering this week? Well,
23:21
Speaker 4: cam Ward and the first meeting was twenty four of
23:24
Speaker 4: thirty eight passing one hundred and forty one yards, no touchdowns,
23:27
Speaker 4: no picks. He had a seventy point two rating in
23:32
Speaker 4: that game. Since then, well, the Titans are two and
23:36
Speaker 4: two now in their last four games. They were one
23:39
Speaker 4: and eleven after the loss of the Jaguars, and they've
23:42
Speaker 4: scored twenty four or more in the last four weeks.
23:45
Speaker 4: So what's different now about cam Ward and the Titans.
23:49
Speaker 7: I think you're seeing confidence better confidence. I mean, the
23:52
Speaker 7: guy right now is a number of wow plays in
23:55
Speaker 7: this last game. I mean they had a number of
23:57
Speaker 7: explosive passes. He's able to extend plays. You know, he's
24:02
Speaker 7: scrambled actually to throw the football right now, but he's
24:04
Speaker 7: making better decisions I think as far as that's concerned now.
24:07
Speaker 7: One area that he struggles with is ball security. He's
24:11
Speaker 7: got I think eleven fumbles right now, which is probably
24:13
Speaker 7: number one quarterback position in the league. So you know,
24:16
Speaker 7: we've got to take advantage of that as far as
24:18
Speaker 7: that's concerned. And actually in the last game he got
24:22
Speaker 7: sacked four times, which they had somewhat solved the previous
24:26
Speaker 7: few games. I think what we're going to see coming
24:28
Speaker 7: in as a team that's going to try to run
24:30
Speaker 7: it poward being an effective runner for sure. I think
24:34
Speaker 7: he just had his four thousand yard season, but I
24:37
Speaker 7: think we'll get thirty five to forty runs maybe from
24:40
Speaker 7: them to try to help their offense. Well maybe I'm
24:44
Speaker 7: off on that, but I do know that because again
24:47
Speaker 7: the explosive passes that may factor in that they had
24:50
Speaker 7: against New Orleans. But he is playing better right now.
24:53
Speaker 7: You just see, this guy's got a lot of talent
24:55
Speaker 7: and a lot we can make every throw as far
24:58
Speaker 7: as that's concerned. So again, he's improven right now. We're
25:02
Speaker 7: gonna have to be ready for his best shot.
25:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this is a classic example of a
25:07
Speaker 5: touted rookie quarterback, you know, the first overall pick who
25:10
Speaker 5: doesn't have a lot to work with right now at
25:12
Speaker 5: wide receiver. He's still trying to, you know, learn those
25:15
Speaker 5: guys and everything, but he has the arm, talent, and
25:18
Speaker 5: he has all the intangibles to be a great quarterback.
25:21
Speaker 5: You see some throws that he makes where it's just
25:23
Speaker 5: like there's not a lot of quarterbacks in the league
25:25
Speaker 5: that can probably make that throw, let alone a rookie quarterback.
25:28
Speaker 5: And then you see some of the mistakes as well,
25:29
Speaker 5: like you gotta see it from a rookie quarterback. I
25:31
Speaker 5: think against the Saints, I want to say he was
25:32
Speaker 5: credited for five turnovers in that Saints game. But if
25:35
Speaker 5: you go back two weeks ago against the Chiefs game,
25:37
Speaker 5: and I get Patrick Mahomes wasn't playing in everything and
25:39
Speaker 5: the Chiefs were kind of out of it. He had
25:41
Speaker 5: his best game where he could look like he kind
25:43
Speaker 5: of had a little more swag to him. So you
25:45
Speaker 5: have an offense right now, it's been interchange but wide receiver.
25:48
Speaker 5: Right You've had some guys get injured and everything, so
25:50
Speaker 5: they're on like they're second and third stringers. But cam
25:53
Speaker 5: Ward in the future, it looks like we're talking about
25:55
Speaker 5: two three years from now, he might be the real deal.
25:57
Speaker 3: And then get help for him.
25:58
Speaker 2: That's an interesting description because if I didn't know who
26:00
Speaker 2: you were talking about.
26:01
Speaker 9: Doesn't that sound like Trevor Lawrence coming in? You can
26:05
Speaker 9: make these crazy great throws. It's kind of in.
26:07
Speaker 2: A mess of a situation with no targets to throw to.
26:11
Speaker 2: And that's why it's so interesting, especially with these quarterbacks
26:13
Speaker 2: now that are going to second locations and seeing success.
26:16
Speaker 2: You almost don't know what you have at first until
26:18
Speaker 2: you can kind of build around them a little bit.
26:20
Speaker 9: And obviously there are tons of.
26:21
Speaker 2: Turmoil in Tennessee right now, so they have to figure
26:23
Speaker 2: out a bunch of other stuff.
26:24
Speaker 9: But it feels like the quarterback is not my main
26:28
Speaker 9: concern there by any means right if.
26:30
Speaker 4: They keep changing coaches and offenses around, Yeah, that's how
26:32
Speaker 4: I got help.
26:33
Speaker 3: It doesn't help at all.
26:34
Speaker 7: No, And as Kyy just said, I mean, very similar
26:37
Speaker 7: to the situation that's going on here.
26:39
Speaker 6: This guy is a streaky guy now.
26:41
Speaker 7: I mean he had nine straight completions in the game
26:43
Speaker 7: against New Orleans and his Austin just said, you had
26:46
Speaker 7: his best passer rating and really best production game against
26:51
Speaker 7: Kansas City. I know a team thatch hoveled a little bit,
26:53
Speaker 7: but he did it. So U you know, we got
26:56
Speaker 7: to be ready for this guy. They're going to mix
26:57
Speaker 7: in as I said, a lot of play pass let
26:59
Speaker 7: him try to extend plays. You're gonna have to plaster
27:01
Speaker 7: against this guy in terms of the defense, meaning our
27:04
Speaker 7: defensive guys stay with their coverage, whether it be man
27:07
Speaker 7: or zone, you know, to eliminate this guy making big
27:10
Speaker 7: plays against you.
27:11
Speaker 3: Because will you've had a young quarterback or a rookie quarterback.
27:13
Speaker 5: I mean, is it beneficial to try to blitz him
27:16
Speaker 5: and really make him feel that pressure, or is it
27:18
Speaker 5: more beneficial is to kind of lay back a little
27:19
Speaker 5: bit and say, hey, you're a rookie, go ahead and
27:21
Speaker 5: make your mistakes and hre to capitalize on.
27:23
Speaker 8: Well.
27:23
Speaker 6: I think when you.
27:24
Speaker 7: Think about blitzing and pressures, as you know, you're gonna
27:27
Speaker 7: have to look at that offensive line, see first for
27:29
Speaker 7: how you attack their protection and any weak links that
27:33
Speaker 7: they've got, and then present that as far as what
27:36
Speaker 7: you do against this quarterback. So I think all those
27:38
Speaker 7: things go into it right now. I think that though
27:40
Speaker 7: that you know, this explosiveness is what scares me about
27:44
Speaker 7: this guy, and this guy is able to stay. He
27:46
Speaker 7: was able to extend a lot of plays against New
27:48
Speaker 7: Orleans four man rush. So I think you know, Anthony
27:52
Speaker 7: will mix into pressure. As far as that's concerned, I
27:54
Speaker 7: would be thinking trying to give him looks pre snap
27:58
Speaker 7: and let him see something pre snap and then after
28:01
Speaker 7: snap something different, so we can get his mind a
28:04
Speaker 7: little messed up, a little messy as far as that's concerned.
28:07
Speaker 7: Take away his decisive decisiveness in terms of where to
28:10
Speaker 7: throw the ball, what kind of play to make.
28:13
Speaker 4: Last time out, Kai Tony Pollard had thirty six of
28:16
Speaker 4: his sixty rushing yards in the first quarter of the game.
28:18
Speaker 3: A lot of that in the opening.
28:19
Speaker 9: Guy I didn't look good at to such.
28:21
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, here we go.
28:22
Speaker 4: They got a field goal, it was three to nothing,
28:24
Speaker 4: and the Jaguars scored twenty five straight after that. Defense
28:27
Speaker 4: made that adjustment. They've been really good against the run
28:29
Speaker 4: all year. They did it twice against Jonathan Taylor. They
28:32
Speaker 4: adjusted when they needed to against Pollard, and there's really
28:35
Speaker 4: no doubt right now that's the best thing they do
28:37
Speaker 4: on defense to stop that run game.
28:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think there's a little bit of pride
28:41
Speaker 2: to it obviously that I don't know how, you know,
28:42
Speaker 2: if this game gets out of hand, what they're going
28:44
Speaker 2: to do with starters and whatnot. But they haven't allowed
28:46
Speaker 2: one hundred yard rusher, so like that I know is
28:49
Speaker 2: a stat they're aware of and there's a pride point.
28:51
Speaker 2: I'm very sure that they don't want to do it
28:54
Speaker 2: in the last week of the regular season, so I'm
28:56
Speaker 2: sure whatever the game kind of dictates, i don't know
28:58
Speaker 2: if they'll try to do that. Also, they've given up
29:00
Speaker 2: a lot of rush yards to quarterbacks. I feel like
29:02
Speaker 2: a handful of their leading rushers have been quarterbacks that
29:05
Speaker 2: have escaped the pocket.
29:05
Speaker 9: So that's something to consider.
29:07
Speaker 2: Just kind of containment for me, A lot of it
29:08
Speaker 2: is stuff I want to see like them kind of
29:11
Speaker 2: tweak or work on heading into the postseason. Right, Like
29:13
Speaker 2: I know they have a good run defense, but like
29:16
Speaker 2: whether it's communication because they've had some injuries, like it's
29:18
Speaker 2: communicating on the defense, like tuning that up, or like
29:22
Speaker 2: I said, just containment of the quarterback depending who they face,
29:25
Speaker 2: because we know if it's the Bills, Josh Allen loves
29:26
Speaker 2: to run around. Like, there's all kinds of things that
29:28
Speaker 2: I feel will be and I'm not overlooking the Titans.
29:30
Speaker 9: I'm just saying there's a lot of things that you.
29:32
Speaker 2: Can kind of be like, all right, let's fine tune
29:34
Speaker 2: a little bit of this and we get to playoffs.
29:35
Speaker 9: It's not a concern.
29:36
Speaker 6: I'm with you. I think that was well stated.
29:38
Speaker 7: I think that dependent whoever we play, this is going
29:41
Speaker 7: to be a great game for us to, a good
29:45
Speaker 7: challenge and a good game for us to in preparation
29:47
Speaker 7: for postseason play. I mean, in terms of what this
29:50
Speaker 7: team presents right now, and we got to take advantage
29:52
Speaker 7: of that. Don't overlook this Pard like we talked about.
29:54
Speaker 7: I mean, shoot, he said three of the last four
29:57
Speaker 7: games over one hundred yards rushing. That's, as you just mentioned,
30:00
Speaker 7: the goal not to give one, you know, go through
30:02
Speaker 7: the season without that, let without that happening. He's a
30:06
Speaker 7: leading rusher I think since Week fourteen in the league.
30:08
Speaker 7: So he's coming in hot right now in terms of that,
30:11
Speaker 7: and you know, I think again they'll try and take
30:14
Speaker 7: advantage of that in terms of helping this quarterback too well.
30:17
Speaker 3: I understand that.
30:18
Speaker 5: You know, Liam Collen's job is to focus at the
30:20
Speaker 5: task at hand right now. It's our job to say, okay, well,
30:23
Speaker 5: if they play in the Buffalo Bills, how do you
30:24
Speaker 5: shut down the Buffalo Bills. You got to stop James Cook,
30:27
Speaker 5: right like I get Josh Allen, you have to be
30:29
Speaker 5: afraid of him as well, but their offense is really
30:31
Speaker 5: predicated off running the football, and the same thing said
30:33
Speaker 5: the Chargers come to town, Omrion Hampton and Jim Harbow.
30:36
Speaker 5: Jim Harbell loves to pound the rock first and then
30:39
Speaker 5: work off the play action there and use Justin Herbert
30:41
Speaker 5: with his arms.
30:42
Speaker 3: So I can look ahead.
30:43
Speaker 5: A little bit and say this is gonna be a
30:44
Speaker 5: big game in terms of stopping the run because you
30:46
Speaker 5: can carry that on in the playoffs. But I hope
30:47
Speaker 5: Liam Cohen's just saying let's focus on the Titans right now.
30:50
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm sure he.
30:51
Speaker 2: Is, because we were talking on jag Zam this morning
30:53
Speaker 2: about some of the you know, we looked back at
30:54
Speaker 2: some of the rivalry matchups and there's a lot of
30:56
Speaker 2: years where one or two of one or the other
30:59
Speaker 2: team out of it and then they bounce them from
31:02
Speaker 2: the playoffs when they've got nothing. I mean, the Jaguars
31:04
Speaker 2: have had many seasons where maybe they weren't in the
31:06
Speaker 2: playoff picture, but they played spoiler to a lot of people.
31:09
Speaker 2: So that's definitely I'm sure at top of mind for
31:11
Speaker 2: Cohen when he's talking to the team, like, we don't
31:13
Speaker 2: want to be that team that loses the division on
31:16
Speaker 2: the last game because we kind of underestimated our opponents.
31:18
Speaker 9: So I'm sure that's part of the conversation too.
31:20
Speaker 6: You are all over, well done.
31:21
Speaker 5: And this is the thing about the Titans too, right,
31:23
Speaker 5: This isn't like the Raider situation where you know they're
31:25
Speaker 5: sitting guys maybe trying to get a better draft position.
31:27
Speaker 5: Like the Titans are where they are right now, right
31:30
Speaker 5: and they have nothing to lose. And you know, I've
31:33
Speaker 5: been on some teams where we'd have a lot of
31:34
Speaker 5: wins that season, But you're putting film out there right
31:37
Speaker 5: now because you're trying to be on that team next year.
31:39
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of guys in that Titans locker
31:41
Speaker 5: room right now that will be fighting for their jobs,
31:43
Speaker 5: trying to impress whether it's gonna be a new coach,
31:45
Speaker 5: the same coach, or new regime, whatever the case may be.
31:48
Speaker 5: But you have to put good film on there, especially
31:51
Speaker 5: your last game of the season, because if you want
31:53
Speaker 5: a job in this league, you got to play at
31:55
Speaker 5: a high level.
31:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, and understand too, now they go what they do
31:58
Speaker 7: have weapons tight end Quantico is the heck of a player.
32:01
Speaker 7: I think he's their leading receiver in terms of receptions.
32:04
Speaker 7: And then when you look at this wide receiver dk
32:07
Speaker 7: who who incidentally is an explosive receiver. But Jaesel Pete
32:11
Speaker 7: I believe in returning and we you know, we had
32:13
Speaker 7: a little issue with that last week, which I'm sure
32:15
Speaker 7: Coach Farwell and the rest of the staff will take
32:17
Speaker 7: care of. But I mean, they they've got weapons now,
32:20
Speaker 7: so I mean again, dial it up now, be ready?
32:24
Speaker 3: Yeah? Would you kick it out of the end zone
32:26
Speaker 3: of bounds?
32:27
Speaker 9: I mean last week I was like, I'm done.
32:29
Speaker 3: They kicked it out of the back of the end
32:32
Speaker 3: zone the rest of the game.
32:33
Speaker 6: I would not let this cat get a hold of
32:35
Speaker 6: that ball.
32:36
Speaker 9: They do that a bit in the first matchup or
32:37
Speaker 9: am I misremembering. I feel like he had a return overturn.
32:40
Speaker 6: Nobody was.
32:41
Speaker 9: They didn't kick to him much.
32:42
Speaker 2: I think they only got one return.
32:45
Speaker 7: For they tried it, they avoided it, and we got
32:48
Speaker 7: to do that again.
32:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a forty seven yard part return of
32:51
Speaker 3: the game.
32:51
Speaker 6: Yeah.
32:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then a thirty yard kickoff return. Yep, so
32:55
Speaker 4: there you go. Uh Kai no, no, all access.
32:58
Speaker 9: No, we did it. Earlier this week.
33:00
Speaker 2: But I do want to bring up because I haven't
33:01
Speaker 2: been on Thursday Happy Hour in a while. You didn't
33:03
Speaker 2: tell did you tell everyone that my locks were correct?
33:05
Speaker 3: Or well? I was waiting for you to come in.
33:08
Speaker 3: I haven't been on the Thursday. Well no, it's been
33:10
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks.
33:10
Speaker 9: It has been a couple of weeks. So just remind
33:13
Speaker 9: everyone with.
33:13
Speaker 3: The record ball her locks were correct.
33:18
Speaker 9: My rocks are correct.
33:19
Speaker 7: Jump on that bandwagon too, because prior to the Denver game,
33:23
Speaker 7: I made a I made a statement.
33:25
Speaker 3: You go, is that a lock?
33:26
Speaker 6: And I go, yeah, it's a.
33:26
Speaker 9: Lot lock awards and I.
33:30
Speaker 4: Don't have to get my spiel right, I mean, I
33:33
Speaker 4: mean he's he's a Lulu Limon sweatshirt and loss.
33:37
Speaker 9: Giving a lemon for card.
33:39
Speaker 3: No, no, you got five on your punch the punch
33:42
Speaker 3: card right now? Drive for five? So he gets to
33:44
Speaker 3: sell Lulu.
33:45
Speaker 9: I got the you got the new Duvall versus All
33:48
Speaker 9: y'all shirt too?
33:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, so does the tailor here I can get fitted?
33:52
Speaker 3: Or how does that work? You're asking the wrong.
33:54
Speaker 7: Okay, guys, you're getting at least I got a bottle?
33:59
Speaker 7: How I got smarter? One final thought of here. You know, kay,
34:05
Speaker 7: this is a division rivalry. We know it can get
34:08
Speaker 7: a little chippy at times. It did last time out.
34:11
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Simmons is kind of the lead horse on that
34:13
Speaker 4: for them, But from a Jaguars perspective, they've got bigger
34:18
Speaker 4: fish to fry moving ahead. However, they still need to
34:20
Speaker 4: play with that edge. I'm curious, you know, how do
34:24
Speaker 4: you approach that this week knowing that there's a playoff
34:27
Speaker 4: run ahead and these guys are going to can't con.
34:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that's discussed as well, right,
34:32
Speaker 2: because you know they're going to try to antagonize you,
34:34
Speaker 2: as they did even.
34:35
Speaker 9: A couple of weeks ago.
34:36
Speaker 2: I think that was the most penalties or tied for
34:38
Speaker 2: most penalties they had in a game, because, yeah, thirteen
34:41
Speaker 2: penalties not great. They've been better with penalties the past
34:45
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, and you don't want to go back
34:47
Speaker 2: into that point where every offensive penalty and then, I mean,
34:51
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get back into that.
34:52
Speaker 9: We don't want penalties. Penalties are always bad.
34:54
Speaker 2: And then also you have to you have something to lose, right,
34:56
Speaker 2: so when you're going up against someone that does not,
34:58
Speaker 2: that has to be top in front of mind. So
35:00
Speaker 2: just reminders to players to you know, keep that as
35:04
Speaker 2: their main focus is that they have something to move
35:06
Speaker 2: on to. This shouldn't just be a complete retaliation. I
35:09
Speaker 2: know motions get the best of us, especially in a
35:10
Speaker 2: rivalry game, but that's I'm certain something they talk about,
35:13
Speaker 2: especially on the defense. Like we know how the Titans
35:16
Speaker 2: can be and la Quinn Allen certainly is the back
35:18
Speaker 2: and down from any fights, but someone's got to grab
35:20
Speaker 2: him and keep him away, whether it's Trevor Lawrence or
35:22
Speaker 2: somebody else.
35:22
Speaker 5: Well, and Kiny, you're you know, you interview the coaches
35:24
Speaker 5: and everything, you talk to everybody, have you got word?
35:26
Speaker 3: We're will Logan Cook have a handler with him?
35:29
Speaker 5: Because last time they played the Titans, Logan Cook had
35:32
Speaker 5: a few choice words due to a couple of players there.
35:35
Speaker 5: So well, the extra security around Logan Cook for this.
35:37
Speaker 2: Game, gosh, she was like knocking people out and the
35:39
Speaker 2: kick returns. I thought he broke his shoulder at one point.
35:43
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was a little wild. I mean, he's been
35:45
Speaker 9: around as long as anybody, so I know we.
35:47
Speaker 2: Don't see him like that very often, which is kind
35:49
Speaker 2: of funny, just because he's so laid back, but Titans
35:52
Speaker 2: bring it out and yeah, I guess he's.
35:53
Speaker 5: In Mississippi, Mansissippi Ross Matas going to throw guys down
35:58
Speaker 5: with a bad back.
35:58
Speaker 4: That was a game, Remember Manasick missed it. A lot
36:00
Speaker 4: of the first happen Hale came in. It was a
36:03
Speaker 4: long snap.
36:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole deal.
36:04
Speaker 4: From a coaching perspective, how do you handle that type
36:07
Speaker 4: of just aggression and a division rivalry.
36:13
Speaker 3: But you got a lot of games ahead.
36:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, this is the most important game. To quote
36:18
Speaker 7: Tony Bucelli, this is the most important game in franchise history.
36:22
Speaker 7: You've got a chance to be the AFC South champions.
36:25
Speaker 7: I said, hard to do, all right, something that right
36:28
Speaker 7: now is within your grasp. We're on the doorstep to
36:30
Speaker 7: that right now. You cannot let that slip away from
36:33
Speaker 7: us right now. So I think everything, all the energy, effort, preparation,
36:37
Speaker 7: practice has got to go into being that first, and
36:40
Speaker 7: then whatever else will play the next game when.
36:42
Speaker 6: It shows up.
36:43
Speaker 7: If you take your eyes off the prize, you get
36:45
Speaker 7: hit in the nose, and we don't want that to happen.
36:47
Speaker 7: So again, focus in right now and doing everything we
36:50
Speaker 7: can to beat the Titans.
36:51
Speaker 5: Coach when you talk about you know that it's always
36:53
Speaker 5: a phrase being used, like a team comes out flat, right,
36:56
Speaker 5: Like so when you turn on the film move with
36:58
Speaker 5: your line backing room and you saw maybe a team
37:00
Speaker 5: that wasn't as good as other teams that you face, right, Like,
37:03
Speaker 5: how did you how did you get those guys ready
37:05
Speaker 5: to go?
37:05
Speaker 3: Right? How did you prevent them from coming off that?
37:08
Speaker 5: Because listen, whether it was Pause, whether it was Darryl Smith,
37:10
Speaker 5: I mean, they always came out locked and loaded, Like,
37:12
Speaker 5: what do you attest to that?
37:13
Speaker 6: Well?
37:13
Speaker 7: I think first of all, they're they're mature enough to
37:16
Speaker 7: understand that you've got to be at your best. You
37:18
Speaker 7: got to have your a game each and every week
37:20
Speaker 7: when you anything can happen. I mean I mentioned it
37:22
Speaker 7: here one time before. We used to uh this as
37:25
Speaker 7: a reminder. We would have a guy dress up as
37:27
Speaker 7: like the Grim Reaper and carry k come in and
37:30
Speaker 7: sign with We called him old Man Upset and on
37:34
Speaker 7: there there would be most recent Usset upsets teams crossed
37:37
Speaker 7: off and then a big big circle around, in this
37:40
Speaker 7: case the Jacksonville Jaguards.
37:42
Speaker 6: That old Man Upset's coming in here.
37:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't want that guy to come in so
37:45
Speaker 7: we would chase him off the field, pull them, pull
37:47
Speaker 7: them all back in and say, hey, look now again,
37:50
Speaker 7: this is about us. All right, we're gonna get this
37:52
Speaker 7: team's best shot. If you don't recognize that, just look
37:55
Speaker 7: at the paper, look at the news. Each and every week.
37:57
Speaker 7: Old man upset is going somewhere else. He's not come
38:00
Speaker 7: into our stadium. So that's going to be the I
38:02
Speaker 7: think a lot of the focus right now.
38:04
Speaker 6: And all you got to do is talk to them.
38:05
Speaker 7: If they're mature young men, and they understand they've worked
38:08
Speaker 7: like like you have, and like everybody in the Billions
38:10
Speaker 7: worked to get to this position.
38:12
Speaker 6: We don't want to let it get away.
38:13
Speaker 9: I got to know who or the grim got to
38:15
Speaker 9: be a short situation.
38:18
Speaker 7: Actually, I always pose that to our coaching staff and
38:21
Speaker 7: generally had somebody that would volunteer. That was actually that
38:24
Speaker 7: year it was our receiver coach named Dennis Goldman. This
38:28
Speaker 7: was happened to be at holy Cross, but I did
38:30
Speaker 7: it also at the University of Maryland in another setting.
38:33
Speaker 6: So but but but the visual is what you you know,
38:36
Speaker 6: people respond to visuals.
38:38
Speaker 7: A lot of times, and so as I said, we're
38:40
Speaker 7: going through stretch, and he comes in and he looks
38:42
Speaker 7: dead on to the grim deeper, which caught everybody's attention.
38:47
Speaker 6: Come on, that's what it's all about.
38:49
Speaker 3: I love it. Uh, Kai Jags am this all week
38:52
Speaker 3: It's all available on Jaguars.
38:54
Speaker 2: First post season episodes starting on Monday, because that's right.
38:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, the postseason. It's crazy. The jag should be every
39:03
Speaker 3: seed except the four seeds. They're all positive that this weekend.
39:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there's too much maths. I'm not going to
39:10
Speaker 2: get into that. I'm just hoping they went in their
39:12
Speaker 2: three so we'll.
39:12
Speaker 3: Just do that.
39:14
Speaker 7: But to be in that position now, and you folks
39:16
Speaker 7: are all to be congratulated. To be in that position,
39:19
Speaker 7: you're all to be congratulated for it. I mean, it's
39:21
Speaker 7: it's superb.
39:22
Speaker 6: I'm telling you right now.
39:23
Speaker 7: I mean when it's hard, man, And I love being
39:28
Speaker 7: a peripheral part of this as far as that's concerned,
39:30
Speaker 7: but I mean, it's unbelievable.
39:32
Speaker 6: So man, let's let's enjoy it. Let's let's get this.
39:35
Speaker 6: Be greedy for this now.
39:36
Speaker 7: We want to and I don't like to push off
39:39
Speaker 7: being a greedy person, but in this case, we want
39:41
Speaker 7: to work hard and enjoy the benefits of that, and
39:45
Speaker 7: and let's make this special.
39:47
Speaker 9: Definitely having a lot more fun than I was at
39:49
Speaker 9: this time last year.
39:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, think absolutely, Kai, thanks a lot as always, Ball,
39:55

41:55
Speaker 4: JP Shadwick, Austin Lane coach Mark Dufner with us coming
41:59
Speaker 4: up at o'clock left Jags HQ time out for the
42:02
Speaker 4: injury report presented by uf Health, the healthcare partner of
42:06
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars, has just come down a little bit ago,
42:09
Speaker 4: and there are some notable names, certainly on the Jaguars
42:13
Speaker 4: side of things. The limited participation both days this week
42:18
Speaker 4: for cornerback Monteric Brown, with a neck issue, had a
42:21
Speaker 4: big game last week, was credited for two passes defense
42:25
Speaker 4: was involved in a couple more plays. Ezra Cleveland the
42:28
Speaker 4: left guard, limited both days with a shoulder issue. Robert
42:31
Speaker 4: Hainsey the center with a groin problem limited Wednesday and Thursday,
42:36
Speaker 4: and John Harrison, battling an illness, didn't practice Wednesday full.
42:40
Speaker 3: For the Jaguars today. That's a good sign.
42:42
Speaker 4: Jalen McLeod still trying to work his way back from
42:45
Speaker 4: an ankle issue all season.
42:46
Speaker 3: He's been down limited both days.
42:48
Speaker 4: Patrick mckerry, the right guard with a back problem, has
42:52
Speaker 4: not practiced this week Wednesday or Thursday. That's not a
42:55
Speaker 4: good sign moving ahead. Cornerback Greg Newsom with a shoulder
42:58
Speaker 4: problem limited both day days and practice had the jersey
43:02
Speaker 4: the non contact jersey on today. In the open media time.
43:05
Speaker 4: Danny Strigo, defensive end with an ankle problem limited both
43:08
Speaker 4: days and he's missed the last couple of weeks. We'll
43:11
Speaker 4: see if he can get out there this week in
43:12
Speaker 4: bacial Tutin with a finger issue running back has been
43:17
Speaker 4: full both days. So that's trending the right way. When
43:20
Speaker 4: we reference the offensive line earlier, the one that's Ivan
43:23
Speaker 4: Mcarrey the guard not practicing, is not going the right way.
43:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I I I'm optimistic with what I heard
43:31
Speaker 7: on the other guys right now. In fact, when I
43:33
Speaker 7: leave from here, I'm going right to our Lady Star
43:35
Speaker 7: to see church and light some candles for these guys
43:37
Speaker 7: because we need some healing hands. No truly, because that's
43:41
Speaker 7: a critical component. But those guys have you know, rallied
43:45
Speaker 7: and stood up and made you know, excellent contributions so far.
43:50
Speaker 7: So but I mean, man, we got to get everybody healthy,
43:53
Speaker 7: healing hands.
43:54
Speaker 6: We need him.
43:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I help. Monterek Brown's okay. I mean he
43:57
Speaker 5: might have heard his neck from keep on looking at
43:58
Speaker 5: the Colt sideline. Say, do you guys keep on throwing
44:00
Speaker 5: me the whole time because I'm defending everything, so you
44:02
Speaker 5: keep on picking out me if you want. So there
44:04
Speaker 5: might be some some sort of you know, inflammation there
44:06
Speaker 5: from turning his neck to the Colt sideline so much.
44:08
Speaker 5: But you know, hopefully everyone's okay to go what coach said,
44:11
Speaker 5: because they're.
44:12
Speaker 4: Gonna need these guys down the run here Titan side
44:15
Speaker 4: of the things, They've had a bunch of guys that
44:16
Speaker 4: have not practiced for a couple days straight Achilles problem
44:20
Speaker 4: for arm Or Davis the corner, Cody Barton linebacker, it's
44:24
Speaker 4: not injury related for him, personal matter. Ali Gay linebacker
44:28
Speaker 4: has been full. Gunner Helm tight end, has not practiced.
44:30
Speaker 4: Amni Hooker the safety, is not practiced this week. Van
44:33
Speaker 4: Jefferson wide receivers not practice. Arden Key hasn't practiced the
44:38
Speaker 4: outside linebacker with a hit problem. So they've got a
44:41
Speaker 4: lot of guys on the list this week as well.
44:43
Speaker 4: Jehad Ward linebacker with an ankle problem. Limited Wednesday, full
44:47
Speaker 4: on Thursday, So we'll see who's available for them down
44:50
Speaker 4: the stretch. Arden Key's one of those instigators too. Former Jaguar,
44:54
Speaker 4: of course, tried to stir it up on the sideline
44:56
Speaker 4: last time.
44:57
Speaker 2: Well.
44:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the rumors are that I think he actually
44:58
Speaker 5: has a key to the city from Jacksonpore. He actually
45:01
Speaker 5: wanted one before he left the city here. But no,
45:03
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously he's every team. He has to have
45:06
Speaker 5: some of those emotional type of dudes, right They kind
45:08
Speaker 5: of rally everybody up a little bit. I think every
45:10
Speaker 5: good team has one. So I think arden Key is
45:13
Speaker 5: kind of that guy that is more that emotional leader.
45:15
Speaker 5: And it's not a bad spot to.
45:17
Speaker 7: Have, no, no question about it right now now, I
45:19
Speaker 7: think you're dead on right now as far as what
45:21
Speaker 7: his contribution is going to be for sure.
45:23
Speaker 4: As we mentioned, the Jaguars have the most possible seed
45:25
Speaker 4: scenarios of any NFL team entering Week eighteen. The Jaguars
45:29
Speaker 4: can still be the AFC's one, two, three, five, six,
45:33
Speaker 4: or seven seed based on Week eighteen outcomes. Of course,
45:37
Speaker 4: all win combined with the Patriots loss and a Broncos loss,
45:41
Speaker 4: would give the Jaguars the number one seed. One of
45:43
Speaker 4: those teams lose and the Jaguars win, they'd be the
45:45
Speaker 4: number two seed. Jaggs currently number three seed. Or if
45:48
Speaker 4: everybody wins, and then of course you don't want to
45:51
Speaker 4: get through the other scenarios, that means the Jags would
45:53
Speaker 4: have lost, and there's other scenarios to be what wild
45:56
Speaker 4: card team, but the division title is out there. How
46:00
Speaker 4: about some keys to victory for the Jaguars Week eighteen
46:03
Speaker 4: at the Bank against the Tennessee Titan.
46:05
Speaker 7: Well, how exciting is all that you just talked about
46:07
Speaker 7: right now? But we're not giving up number three for sure.
46:10
Speaker 7: We'd love number one and two and we'll see how
46:12
Speaker 7: that can happens. But we're going to control what we can,
46:15
Speaker 7: which is minimally position three, and it'll happen by winning
46:18
Speaker 7: the takeaway battle. We got to protect the football. We've
46:21
Speaker 7: got to protect our quarterback, you know, keep him healthy
46:23
Speaker 7: right now so he can continue to deal like he's doing.
46:26
Speaker 7: And again always every week we talked about it earlier.
46:29
Speaker 7: We got to stop to run. We got to win
46:31
Speaker 7: the takeaway battle. Our defense has done a great job
46:34
Speaker 7: of eliminating, limiting explosive plays runs or passes over twenty yards.
46:40
Speaker 7: I think we gave up none last week. This team
46:42
Speaker 7: did have quite a few against the Warren, so that'll
46:45
Speaker 7: be critical. And then I think we got a touch
46:47
Speaker 7: base on the coverage game, you know, in terms of
46:49
Speaker 7: our coverageunt punt coverage and our kickoff coverage. And I
46:53
Speaker 7: know that coaching staff's doing all those things, but those
46:55
Speaker 7: will be the components that I think are critical for
46:58
Speaker 7: success for us in this game.
47:00
Speaker 3: What about it, Austin.
47:01
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna echo what I said we did
47:03
Speaker 5: the pregame show against the Tennessee Titans a couple of
47:05
Speaker 5: weeks ago. I'm gonna say the exact same thing, because
47:07
Speaker 5: I think the rules still apply here. You just got
47:09
Speaker 5: to be you, right, like did this team the entire
47:11
Speaker 5: year has stopped the run, will stop the run against
47:14
Speaker 5: the Tennessee Titans this week. Right the entire season, this
47:17
Speaker 5: team has created, you know, takeaways and turnovers. Well, go
47:20
Speaker 5: out there and create takeaways and turnovers, and in terms
47:22
Speaker 5: of offense and everything, just take what the defense gives you.
47:24
Speaker 5: I mean, I get you know, to try to run
47:26
Speaker 5: the football a little bit. With Jeffrey Simmons and company
47:28
Speaker 5: in the middle, it might be a little hard sledding.
47:30
Speaker 3: That's okay.
47:31
Speaker 5: Then start relying on your play action a little bit,
47:33
Speaker 5: rely on Jacoby Myers, Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Junior or
47:36
Speaker 5: Tim Patt whoever you want to throw it to you, right,
47:38
Speaker 5: because that's kind of what they have their disposal right now.
47:40
Speaker 3: Just be yourselves. The rest will take care of itself.
47:42
Speaker 5: When I think of Nashville, I think of bachelorette parties
47:45
Speaker 5: and I think of hot Chicken.
47:46
Speaker 3: I don't want to think of a good football team.
47:48
Speaker 3: Yeah me either. Anybody does.
47:51
Speaker 7: Again, well stated, well stated, And if they do follow
47:54
Speaker 7: the game plan like they've been doing here the last
47:56
Speaker 7: seven weeks, we'll be in good shape.
47:58
Speaker 6: So that's going to be the.
47:59
Speaker 3: Key to packed houses the bank.
48:01
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I mean, I mean, are you kidding me? What
48:04
Speaker 7: this team's brought to this city right now? I see
48:06
Speaker 7: more people wearing Jags gear than ever before, and people
48:09
Speaker 7: yell and duvall and everything else. I mean, it's the
48:11
Speaker 7: greatest thing in the history. Great, So let's make it
48:14
Speaker 7: even better in the stadium at one o'clock.
48:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, without a doubt, because this team has earned a
48:18
Speaker 5: home playoff game, right and they have the care of
48:20
Speaker 5: business opps against Tennessee Titans and everything. But if you
48:23
Speaker 5: come out and support a man, you know, you have
48:25
Speaker 5: that home field advantage. If you will, then you earn
48:28
Speaker 5: the right to host a playoff game. And I think
48:30
Speaker 5: we've all been to a home playoff game here.
48:31
Speaker 2: Man.
48:32
Speaker 5: That atmosphere, that the city coming together and everything, it's
48:34
Speaker 5: it's something magical.
48:35
Speaker 3: Man. To treat this one like a playoff.
48:37
Speaker 7: Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, and again what a collective effort by everybody.
48:41
Speaker 6: We need the town and the fans to be part
48:44
Speaker 6: of that effort.
48:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll see you guys there, and hey, Logan, Cook
48:47
Speaker 5: need some help. Don't don't do anything stupid. I got
48:49
Speaker 5: your back, man, I'll come on the field.
48:51
Speaker 6: I can't think anybody.
48:52
Speaker 3: I can't think of anybody, Logan. I'm just saying. Many
48:57
Speaker 3: question is the punker might have me in way right now.
49:00
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, Let's go take him right now.
49:03
Speaker 3: All right.
49:05
