Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Time with Ashlyn Sulliver telling John Oceans,
0:09
Speaker 1: Brian Sexty Jangs Drive Time and it starts right now
0:15
Speaker 1: about this and go until you stop something you know
0:17
Speaker 1: you're gonna continue to see it. We've we've got to
0:19
Speaker 1: evaluate the tape obviously making sure we're doing the right things,
0:22
Speaker 1: as you know, as coaches to put our players in
0:26
Speaker 1: position to um, you know, win those battles. Um. But yeah,
0:30
Speaker 1: there's something we'll look at, you know. Um. It's a
0:33
Speaker 1: night on the way home. Head coach Doug Peterson on
0:36
Speaker 1: the defense that could not get it done in Indianapolis yesterday.
0:39
Speaker 1: Despite the Jaguars putting up twenty seven points, they lose
0:42
Speaker 1: to the Colts and dropped to two and four on
0:44
Speaker 1: the season. Welcome to Jaguars Drive Time on a Monday morning, Ashlyn,
0:48
Speaker 1: Bryan and John here with you. Oh, where to begin?
0:52
Speaker 1: Tough one, But I say that every week. Every week
0:54
Speaker 1: is tough because it's so close, it's so different from
0:56
Speaker 1: last year you're in it. It makes it even tougher.
0:59
Speaker 1: I think big he says it all, Yeah, should I
1:01
Speaker 1: just go right now? But I think we all might
1:03
Speaker 1: benefit if you go right to it. All right, Big
1:05
Speaker 1: thing one is beautiful. Trevor's last offensive drive was a
1:08
Speaker 1: thing of beauty. It's everything we asked of him. Go
1:11
Speaker 1: with the chance to win the game and make it happen.
1:13
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he did. Offense did enough yesterday. Defense
1:17
Speaker 1: did not a bunch of guys in the defense counting me,
1:21
Speaker 1: and we're apologize and I'm like, man, there's been there's
1:23
Speaker 1: been plenty of times where you know, I wasn't able
1:25
Speaker 1: to get it done, and you guys put me in
1:26
Speaker 1: a position to go win the game. And so that's
1:28
Speaker 1: We're a team. And that's the thing. That's the that's
1:30
Speaker 1: the beautiful thing and about this game is that it's
1:33
Speaker 1: a team game and you gotta have everybody and um,
1:36
Speaker 1: whoever plays the better complete game wins the game. And
1:39
Speaker 1: you know that's that's the thing. Uh. And I really
1:41
Speaker 1: believe in the guys that we have and and love
1:43
Speaker 1: our team and just uh, we fought until very last
1:46
Speaker 1: second and didn't go our way today, But I'm really
1:48
Speaker 1: confident and and who we have and how will respond.
1:51
Speaker 1: So big thing too is ugly. Defense could knock get
1:56
Speaker 1: off the field when it mattered most. At the end
1:57
Speaker 1: of the game, and they continually gave up big throughout
2:00
Speaker 1: the entire game. Credit to Shaquille Griffin, who was the
2:02
Speaker 1: very first person we spoke to in the locker room
2:05
Speaker 1: after a tough day, just stood there and took it.
2:08
Speaker 1: But like we had a lot of players when we
2:10
Speaker 1: kind of hurt ourselves. We're talking about many pillons you had.
2:13
Speaker 1: I had two peasant fans, uh I think somebody else
2:16
Speaker 1: had one, and we had a roughly passer. I just
2:19
Speaker 1: felt like every time we go they got the field
2:20
Speaker 1: on third down kind of you know, shout out Steves
2:22
Speaker 1: when the foy knows the those are things you can't
2:25
Speaker 1: get back in there. And it's tough, you know, the
2:27
Speaker 1: references and made some really tough calls and you know
2:29
Speaker 1: it's hard to bounce back roump, you know. And that's
2:31
Speaker 1: the part that we gotta do better at. Do you
2:33
Speaker 1: know whatever it is that we made mistakes on or
2:36
Speaker 1: whatever the peon was, we can't have them to happen. So, uh, yeah,
2:39
Speaker 1: it was. It was something that that was on us.
2:42
Speaker 1: And finally, big thing three is run to win question mark.
2:46
Speaker 1: They did run, They ran well, but they didn't win
2:50
Speaker 1: rushing yards. The Colts forty five rushing yards. Josh Allen says,
2:53
Speaker 1: the offense got the job done and we did not
2:56
Speaker 1: rubber and often good good part. You know what I'm
2:58
Speaker 1: saying to to sorting to could put us ausion to
3:01
Speaker 1: win the game. So that's what you're aspose they do.
3:05
Speaker 1: That's where they do. So every defense is we got
3:07
Speaker 1: to close it and in opportunity, we don't name will
3:10
Speaker 1: come to the opportunity. And so we've got to look
3:13
Speaker 1: at what we did wrong in that position that you know,
3:15
Speaker 1: because it's called come back up. But next time we've
3:17
Speaker 1: got come up west about however, and that is big things.
3:21
Speaker 1: And I think the overarching message of this team right now,
3:23
Speaker 1: we talked about it all last week, is we can't
3:25
Speaker 1: forge out what what this Jaguars team is. Are they
3:27
Speaker 1: the Jaguars of Los Angeles upsetting the Chargers? Are there
3:30
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in Philly? And I think the answer is
3:33
Speaker 1: now we see the inconsistencies where last week the defense
3:36
Speaker 1: won the Jaguars the game basically, and this week they
3:38
Speaker 1: can't get off the field. Yeah, but if you want,
3:40
Speaker 1: if you want something to feel good about, it's that
3:42
Speaker 1: two weeks, two Sundays ago, right, we're talking about a
3:45
Speaker 1: defense that holds an opponent to two hundred forty yards
3:48
Speaker 1: and thirteen points. Right, defense got it done. Offense doesn't
3:52
Speaker 1: show up. Oh, but they didn't run the ball very
3:54
Speaker 1: well in The quarterback played poorly this week. They run
3:56
Speaker 1: the balls. Anybody worried about the running game anymore? No? Right?
3:58
Speaker 1: I mean the coach said it's on him to call
4:01
Speaker 1: more plays for e t N. He did. They got
4:02
Speaker 1: the running game going. They involved hasty, They run for
4:05
Speaker 1: twitter and forty three yards. Great. Um, the quarterback plays well.
4:09
Speaker 1: They drive. I'm telling you if that drive didn't show
4:13
Speaker 1: you everything you needed to see about what this kid's
4:15
Speaker 1: capable of completing five or five passes, ran for three
4:17
Speaker 1: first downs, dealt with the pressure, played well. So you
4:21
Speaker 1: get the quarterback playing well in the running game and
4:23
Speaker 1: then the defense steps back. Right. So it felt like
4:25
Speaker 1: a checklist yesterday, John, where they check this one to
4:27
Speaker 1: check this one. Okay, they saw that, check this one.
4:29
Speaker 1: Uh checked this one because they didn't get it done. Well,
4:32
Speaker 1: that's what this team is. It's a young team with
4:35
Speaker 1: new coaching staff and new players and they gotta figure
4:37
Speaker 1: it out. But you see the ability to get things done.
4:41
Speaker 1: They just haven't done it on the same day doesn't
4:43
Speaker 1: mean they can't now. I mean it's not like you
4:45
Speaker 1: can point to a couple of guys and goo. They
4:46
Speaker 1: gotta fix that, right, We're gonna talk about that later.
4:49
Speaker 1: They gotta fix that. They gotta get this. But for
4:51
Speaker 1: the most part, you can go out and compete where
4:53
Speaker 1: this team hasn't in recent years and give yourself a
4:56
Speaker 1: chance to win, which is what Trevor did yesterday. Well,
4:59
Speaker 1: I think we do know what the offense is. The offense.
5:03
Speaker 1: The rigamarole or or whatever word you want to use
5:05
Speaker 1: about the offense last week was very over blown. This
5:09
Speaker 1: team has had three and thirty three yards or more
5:12
Speaker 1: in five of the six games. The outlier was Filly
5:15
Speaker 1: in the cold. So I'm going to assume that it's
5:18
Speaker 1: an offense. It's gonna be able to move the ball.
5:20
Speaker 1: The X factor with the offense is going to be
5:22
Speaker 1: whether it can score in the red zone three or
5:24
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Yesterday you get twenty seven points, zero three touchdowns.
5:28
Speaker 1: Against the Texas you got six. That's what that is.
5:32
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be inconsistent the red
5:33
Speaker 1: zone all season because I don't know that you have
5:36
Speaker 1: big time guy playmaker in the red zone to bail
5:40
Speaker 1: you out. And I don't know that they're a power
5:42
Speaker 1: running team in the red zone once you get down there.
5:45
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's what they are in terms
5:47
Speaker 1: of running defensively. You know. I I said, for two
5:52
Speaker 1: weeks Chargers Colts, they had played teams that didn't have
5:57
Speaker 1: receivers those weeks, Um, the Colts head receivers. Yesterday, boy
6:02
Speaker 1: did they have receivers. So uh, that worried me coming
6:06
Speaker 1: into this because everybody wants to barry Matt Ryan Berry.
6:09
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan he's a savvy, veteran guy. He can get
6:11
Speaker 1: the ball out fast. Um, this is not a bad
6:15
Speaker 1: Colds team. This was a team that people thought might
6:17
Speaker 1: win the division beforehand. Um, I worried about those wide receivers.
6:21
Speaker 1: And right now they're a team asking what they are
6:24
Speaker 1: their team to lose his close games. Yeah, and yes,
6:27
Speaker 1: totally until you're not that you are that well, sure,
6:30
Speaker 1: I'm not denying that that's what they have been this year,
6:33
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, if you can run for
6:34
Speaker 1: two three yards. There were four penalties and one of
6:37
Speaker 1: them egregious right for fifteen yards. So there were three
6:41
Speaker 1: other penalties in the game. They played clean, they didn't
6:44
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, they moved the ball efficiently. They
6:46
Speaker 1: scored in the red zone. I mean, check, check, check,
6:48
Speaker 1: check check. And then on Sunday and I get it,
6:51
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, he only runs two routes the cross here
6:54
Speaker 1: in the slant. They couldn't figure it out, right, they
6:57
Speaker 1: couldn't figure it out. Uh and maybe they just couldn't
7:00
Speaker 1: stop him because it was height in his length. I
7:02
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, really, he's a good player, and they
7:06
Speaker 1: just went after it the whole time. Okay, so you've
7:09
Speaker 1: got a weak spot, right, not a complete team, but
7:11
Speaker 1: they're showing the ability to stack things together and at
7:15
Speaker 1: some point, hey, look, Matt Ryan had thirty six fourth
7:17
Speaker 1: quarter come from behind wins. He's done it. When he
7:19
Speaker 1: lined up with what to love to play. Oh you
7:23
Speaker 1: know where they're going with the ball. He's not gonna
7:26
Speaker 1: run it, gonna throw it, and he just right down
7:29
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's tough. But and even
7:33
Speaker 1: when we talk about this week with Jonathan Taylor being
7:35
Speaker 1: on everyone's like, yes, Jonathan Taylor's out, you still look
7:37
Speaker 1: at those offensive weapons and they've proven they have tough
7:41
Speaker 1: time defending it seven times. If you go and look
7:44
Speaker 1: at the history of Jaguars quarterbacks and how many times
7:46
Speaker 1: this team wins. When Jaguars quarterbacks throw the ball more
7:49
Speaker 1: than forty times, you'll be stunned how infrequently it is.
7:52
Speaker 1: And he threw the ball fifty seven times. They got
7:55
Speaker 1: no pressure on him. What's an offensive line that had
7:59
Speaker 1: been the worst first in the league solidified? Right, there
8:04
Speaker 1: were new players in there. You're solidified. They were so
8:07
Speaker 1: inconsistent before this, and yet they got it together. Their
8:10
Speaker 1: well coached team that they are. The Jaguars lose this
8:12
Speaker 1: once the Colts. When we come back on Jaguars Drive Time,
8:15
Speaker 1: some highlights from yesterday's game in Indianapolis called car shield Now,
8:31
Speaker 1: if your car's out of manufacturer's warrants, you don't get
8:33
Speaker 1: stuck with expensive mechanical and computer screen repairs. Call car shields.
8:41
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time on a Monday morning, recapping a loss
8:44
Speaker 1: the Colts that was a very close game, and you
8:45
Speaker 1: will see why. Let's highlight some early Jaguar scores that
8:49
Speaker 1: gave them an early league in Indeed, y on back
8:57
Speaker 1: on the ground with the dasty cold, he had bumped
9:01
Speaker 1: to the races in quotes tempritory and he's finally brought
9:04
Speaker 1: down around the twenty six yard line. Rodney Thomas saved
9:08
Speaker 1: the touchdown, but e t N a home run. Hitter,
9:12
Speaker 1: goes deep forty nine, third and goal, perfect quarterbacks, tame
9:18
Speaker 1: to me. Lawrence takes it in from the touchdown. A
9:24
Speaker 1: good call James Lawton as Trevor Lawrence as his third
9:28
Speaker 1: career rushing touchdown, third and law They give it the
9:35
Speaker 1: Hasty to run back. He goes to Hasty all the
9:42
Speaker 1: way for a touchdown and Robinson and it's Hasty who
9:48
Speaker 1: comes in and lights it up on third and one.
9:53
Speaker 1: Talk about stepping in and making a big play for
9:55
Speaker 1: Jamachael Hasty. That was huge. And I go to Travis
9:58
Speaker 1: Etn in the post game locker room and and he
10:00
Speaker 1: is this. He's distraught over this, saying I have to
10:02
Speaker 1: score here. This is my fault. I should have scored.
10:05
Speaker 1: Obviously it's not his fault for the entire loss, but
10:08
Speaker 1: you know, critiquing himself saying there's no reason I should
10:10
Speaker 1: have been brought down there. What he said after the
10:14
Speaker 1: game that he uh, you know, I'm sure he was
10:18
Speaker 1: warm enough or didn't have enough of hisself. You know,
10:20
Speaker 1: he's he's fast. I'm gonna defend him and say, I
10:25
Speaker 1: think he's used to scoring there because in college, you're
10:29
Speaker 1: faster than that guy in the NFL. A forty eight
10:32
Speaker 1: yard run with a tackle angle on you. I didn't
10:35
Speaker 1: think he did anything wrong on the play and the
10:37
Speaker 1: safety had the angle and the safety has enough speed.
10:39
Speaker 1: We saw that was Roddy McLeod and he played that
10:41
Speaker 1: was a guy who had some range. So I mean,
10:44
Speaker 1: I was surprised that he got caught because I was
10:45
Speaker 1: used to watching him at Clemson and we haven't seen
10:47
Speaker 1: the big run. But when you go back and watch it,
10:50
Speaker 1: it's clear that the guy has an angle on him. So, um,
10:54
Speaker 1: at that moment, you're you're up fourteen to three, after
10:56
Speaker 1: after hasty the least of their problems. Yeah, yeah, right yards.
11:01
Speaker 1: But then and then then things started to devolve. The
11:03
Speaker 1: offense wasn't as efficient, um, and they got those ten
11:07
Speaker 1: points at the end of the first half, which kind
11:10
Speaker 1: of changed the dynamic of the game completely. Absolutely. So,
11:13
Speaker 1: like Brian just mentioned, the Jaguars are at fourteen to three,
11:15
Speaker 1: and right here the Colts short in the lead. Brian
11:20
Speaker 1: throws a lot you know, and then the jaguars next
11:33
Speaker 1: drive is only seventeen seconds long, and and they get
11:37
Speaker 1: a good return on a punt and they put themselves
11:39
Speaker 1: in position to get a field goal, and all of
11:41
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's fourteen thirteen and you have to start
11:44
Speaker 1: wondering what they got the Jaguars having you totally felt
11:48
Speaker 1: the energy and the building change. It was loud, Trevor
11:50
Speaker 1: couldn't hear the calls, like the momentum completely shifted the
11:55
Speaker 1: Colts and it didn't feel like it was ever going
11:56
Speaker 1: to go back. Well, look, they had some moments the
12:00
Speaker 1: Jags where they struggled, but even without Shack Leonard, that's
12:06
Speaker 1: a really, really good defensive team. And I, you know,
12:12
Speaker 1: I would say that there's still a step for this
12:14
Speaker 1: offense in terms of winning shootouts, which there is to
12:17
Speaker 1: be a completely matured team in the NFL. And now
12:19
Speaker 1: I think you've got to be able to win thirty five,
12:21
Speaker 1: thirty seven sometimes. But against that defense getting twenty seven
12:26
Speaker 1: points moving the way they did, you know, especially when
12:28
Speaker 1: considered they took ten minutes out of the game. Uh,
12:31
Speaker 1: it's the ten minutes out of the game part that
12:33
Speaker 1: really concerns you. Defensively because it was a short game
12:35
Speaker 1: and they still gave up thirty four I mean four
12:38
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the last five drives. We can break down
12:43
Speaker 1: everything else, and that's really I mean five straight scoring drives. Yeah,
12:48
Speaker 1: they had a chance to get him off the field,
12:50
Speaker 1: and Trail and Walker got the penalty on third down
12:52
Speaker 1: and long. They would have broken served there. But other
12:54
Speaker 1: than that, they didn't stop them. From the six thirty
12:57
Speaker 1: four moment of the second quarter through the rest of
12:58
Speaker 1: the game, the Colts hadn't scored more than twenty all
13:01
Speaker 1: season and they got whatever that number is, thirty one
13:05
Speaker 1: on their last five drives. And you couldn't You couldn't
13:07
Speaker 1: have told me without their top two running backs they're
13:11
Speaker 1: going to be able to do that, and yet they did.
13:13
Speaker 1: And it's especially at the defense. Couldn't get off the
13:15
Speaker 1: field when it mattered most on the line and everything
13:18
Speaker 1: matters have to make place. Yeah, alright, So the third
13:21
Speaker 1: quarter we go, Jaguar scoring drive. I look forward to
13:27
Speaker 1: they run out with a t n right up the middle.
13:29
Speaker 1: He's loose again and tackled at midfield. First half a
13:34
Speaker 1: fifteen Lawrence fire slick for that one. There's car Pike
13:38
Speaker 1: Tim Shoulds who slips a tackle and he's down at
13:41
Speaker 1: the one big play here, it's first and goal. Lawrence
13:47
Speaker 1: looking for a second rushing touchdown. Head, He's got it,
13:51
Speaker 1: the second of the day for Trevor Lawrence. You know
13:55
Speaker 1: the thing that should have to me on this particular
13:57
Speaker 1: drive was they answered right. They gave up the ten
14:00
Speaker 1: points at the end of the first half there and
14:01
Speaker 1: they threw the game closer, and the Daggers really needed
14:05
Speaker 1: something to re establish themselves and this was the first
14:07
Speaker 1: drive at the third quarter and they went right down
14:09
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I thought, obviously the ten minute drive
14:13
Speaker 1: is gonna stand out. This drive, to me was just
14:16
Speaker 1: as important for the reasons Brian just said, Um, this
14:20
Speaker 1: team over the years hasn't had a whole lot of
14:22
Speaker 1: quote easy touchdown drives. This wasn't easy. I'm sure that
14:26
Speaker 1: I'm three a player to tell you what, johnn. It
14:27
Speaker 1: wasn't easy. But they came out and like Brian said,
14:30
Speaker 1: they needed something and they got it and they and
14:33
Speaker 1: they did it when it mattered. The thing that stood
14:35
Speaker 1: out everybody's been killing Trevor Lawrence for two weeks. The
14:38
Speaker 1: throw to Tim Jones didn't look like much that was
14:41
Speaker 1: a rocket that it's it's the natural talent of the kid.
14:46
Speaker 1: I don't think Matt Ryan at this age could have
14:49
Speaker 1: made that throw in and got into Tim Jones as
14:53
Speaker 1: quickly for Tim to be able to turn around make
14:55
Speaker 1: the play. And it was a subtle thing that I was.
14:58
Speaker 1: I had an angle up. I haven't been listen sort
15:00
Speaker 1: of right behind it from the press box. I sit
15:02
Speaker 1: in the press box lane um and it got there
15:06
Speaker 1: in a hurry, and it shows you the armed talent
15:09
Speaker 1: and why that armed talent matters at moments. I know
15:12
Speaker 1: he didn't have a great game throwing the ball Trevor
15:14
Speaker 1: in terms of yards, but oh overall he showed high
15:18
Speaker 1: end ability and then at the end high end savvy
15:22
Speaker 1: to get the touchdown the final drive. And we go
15:24
Speaker 1: to that final drive and while the offensive drive we
15:27
Speaker 1: just talked about looked easy, this didn't look easy. But
15:29
Speaker 1: the more all the story is he got it done
15:31
Speaker 1: and that's what matters most. I've got a really crowd
15:34
Speaker 1: the line up there, everybody crowded, a lot of thrill.
15:37
Speaker 1: The right Lawrence rolls touchdown Christian Kurtin and who drove
15:45
Speaker 1: by Trevor Lawrence and the Jeff wars huge play here.
15:49
Speaker 1: Jeff flawres one for two nks to point concursions this season,
15:53
Speaker 1: Lawrence throws and complete. Yeah, I'm not sure what that
15:57
Speaker 1: Yeah XL one point game. You get that one and
16:01
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're details. Yeah yeah, yeah, I
16:05
Speaker 1: still question on what that was. But okay, let's just
16:10
Speaker 1: I don't know about analyzing that. I don't know what
16:12
Speaker 1: it was. But he was five for five on that drive. Uh.
16:17
Speaker 1: There's some big moments, the quarterback sneak, they converted I
16:19
Speaker 1: think three third downs and one fourth down, and the
16:24
Speaker 1: big time throw that I think maybe gets lost the
16:27
Speaker 1: throat is a Jones early in the drive on third
16:29
Speaker 1: and twelve. I one thing about Trevor if you look
16:33
Speaker 1: at overall his his career from day one, especially this year,
16:38
Speaker 1: he converts a lot of third and long. That's hard
16:41
Speaker 1: to do. Uh. That's something I think that he's going
16:44
Speaker 1: to carry with him as he brings everything else to
16:47
Speaker 1: a certain level. That thing's gonna start making him special
16:50
Speaker 1: pretty soon. Is the ability to make that play without
16:54
Speaker 1: that subtle play. I think that was I think that
16:56
Speaker 1: was the first third down conversion of the drive. You
16:58
Speaker 1: almost didn't notice it because is It didn't feel like
17:01
Speaker 1: the games on the line yet, but a big time throw.
17:04
Speaker 1: He made several of those yesterday and that last drive
17:06
Speaker 1: was looking at me when when they gave the ball
17:10
Speaker 1: back to Matt Ryan with and a couple of time
17:12
Speaker 1: outs left, I I kind of predicted what was going
17:15
Speaker 1: to happen where they were gonna We all could everyone
17:17
Speaker 1: but everyone was watching could do that. Um. I still
17:21
Speaker 1: love the drive and I needed to see that from him.
17:24
Speaker 1: I think everyone who's watching, who was watching, needed to
17:27
Speaker 1: see that from him to know what he's capable of.
17:30
Speaker 1: This offense still needs some things. They need their own
17:33
Speaker 1: big receiver that's very difficult to defend. They don't have
17:36
Speaker 1: that guy that can play above the excess and os
17:39
Speaker 1: as we talked about all the time. They're also down
17:41
Speaker 1: to receivers yesterday, but they played into it more than
17:44
Speaker 1: we talked about in the postgame. I just you know,
17:48
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more Tim Jones, right, I mean,
17:50
Speaker 1: all he did was play well when we saw him,
17:52
Speaker 1: and then yesterday he made a big play and got
17:54
Speaker 1: it set up. But this offense still needs a couple
17:56
Speaker 1: of things. It needs that guy, that playmaker and maybe
17:59
Speaker 1: Travis Eten is that guy, But you still need that
18:02
Speaker 1: guy that the defensive coordinator has to go, Okay, we
18:04
Speaker 1: gotta stop him. I'm not sure we have that here.
18:06
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't think we do UM, and I
18:08
Speaker 1: don't think you've got in the passing game yet. So
18:10
Speaker 1: there's still things they need. I think one thing that
18:13
Speaker 1: UM shouldn't be overlooked. Trevor did exactly what he was
18:18
Speaker 1: told to do yesterday, exactly what he knew he needed
18:21
Speaker 1: to do. We talked all week about he needed to
18:24
Speaker 1: be patient and he needed to score in the red
18:27
Speaker 1: zone when they were there UM against that defense. He
18:31
Speaker 1: went twenty two clearly being patient. You say, well her,
18:35
Speaker 1: but he was doing what the day called for, and
18:38
Speaker 1: then at the end when the day called for something else,
18:41
Speaker 1: making the throw down field, making those big throws. He
18:45
Speaker 1: got it done when it mattered, and they also went
18:47
Speaker 1: three or three in the red zone. They gave him
18:50
Speaker 1: a game plan and he executed it with frankly, a
18:54
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him yesterday because you know, he
18:56
Speaker 1: heard everybody's saying, well, he's not doing this, he's forcing
18:59
Speaker 1: too much. So he did what the day called for,
19:03
Speaker 1: and I thought he did it very well on that front.
19:05
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that should be overlooked. And there's all
19:07
Speaker 1: kinds of defensive problems, but that was pretty important that
19:11
Speaker 1: he had the ability to do that and then against
19:13
Speaker 1: that cover too. What you gotta do is once you've
19:16
Speaker 1: sort of drawn them in, then you've got to go
19:19
Speaker 1: make the big play, and I think he did that
19:21
Speaker 1: on on his A Jones play. Still not enough over
19:23
Speaker 1: the top stuff in his offense, but I think it's
19:25
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to stay with the receiver situation. Look
19:27
Speaker 1: back in the spring before they played a game, we
19:28
Speaker 1: talked about on this show about the mission for this
19:31
Speaker 1: year was to make sure that that kid was making progress.
19:35
Speaker 1: Yesterday was a big step forward for that kid making progress.
19:39
Speaker 1: You're so right, and we mentioned the defensive problems at
19:42
Speaker 1: great length and this show. This is a perfect example
19:44
Speaker 1: of that. The Colts final drive of this game a
19:50
Speaker 1: deep shot Hi Days. That was the former two thousand
20:12
Speaker 1: sixteen Most Valuable Player. Maybe they've been waiting to see
20:16
Speaker 1: that in Indianapolis. No one has seen that from him
20:18
Speaker 1: yet this year, and he made that play matter most Well.
20:23
Speaker 1: You don't want the mascot run around the ends. You're
20:25
Speaker 1: on the road. It's always about a yeah, it Uh,
20:31
Speaker 1: that was a gut punt. I mean, it's everybody's gonna
20:34
Speaker 1: kill Stack Griffin. Uh and probably rightfully. So he didn't
20:38
Speaker 1: play well yesterday in that situation at the end. You know,
20:42
Speaker 1: they were also trying to third and one I think,
20:48
Speaker 1: or third and two. No, I'm sorry it was third
20:51
Speaker 1: and long. But you're trying to make sure that you
20:55
Speaker 1: don't make a fifty yard field goal for a a
20:58
Speaker 1: young uncertain kick or a gimme, So you're trying to
21:02
Speaker 1: play up a little bit. You're trying to take that away,
21:04
Speaker 1: and I think the Colts took advantage of that. Doesn't
21:06
Speaker 1: excuse it, but I think that was a little bit
21:07
Speaker 1: of the thinking there. Had it been a different kicker,
21:11
Speaker 1: had it been uh, Justin Tucker, they're probably playing it
21:15
Speaker 1: differently because they're assuming he's going to make the fifties.
21:17
Speaker 1: So it's subtle little things and but you can't give
21:19
Speaker 1: up that play. Yes, absolutely, that is highlights from yesterday's
21:22
Speaker 1: lost Indianapolis. When we come back on Jaguars Drive Times,
21:24
Speaker 1: some hot takes on the Jaguars Digital Network Move the
21:31
Speaker 1: Freight Move the Freight Magellan Transport voted coolest office space
21:35
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville apply online at www dot Magellan Logistics dot com.
21:43
Speaker 1: It is Monday morning, which means is time for hot takes,
21:46
Speaker 1: and especially after a Jaguars lost the Colts, these takes
21:49
Speaker 1: are something Brian well, yeah, in mine up a little
21:54
Speaker 1: bit because the instinct is just I could hear it
21:56
Speaker 1: in the email yesterday. Yeah, I mean, they've got to
21:59
Speaker 1: do something at at on that corner. And you're not
22:01
Speaker 1: You're not gonna do anything dramatic like go find someone
22:03
Speaker 1: off the roster. But Jack Griffin for the last four
22:06
Speaker 1: weeks now, even in the win, Justin Herbert was going
22:09
Speaker 1: after him. Um, Jalen Hurts went after him, Davis Mills
22:14
Speaker 1: went after him. And then yesterday, I mean it was
22:16
Speaker 1: just where twenty six, you know, let's go, and he
22:19
Speaker 1: struggled to hold up. And you could see at times
22:22
Speaker 1: that they couldn't try anything exotic defensively to try to
22:26
Speaker 1: go get the quarterback right because they had to worry
22:30
Speaker 1: about the big receivers and Pierce and Pittman are bigger
22:33
Speaker 1: guys and Jack just he just he couldn't hold up
22:36
Speaker 1: against him. Um, I really like him. So this is
22:39
Speaker 1: gonna sound less than I would like it too, but
22:42
Speaker 1: they paid him big money last year because they were
22:44
Speaker 1: desperate to bring someone in they could give them a spark,
22:47
Speaker 1: And so you look at him and you think, well,
22:48
Speaker 1: he should hold up better than that for fourteen million
22:50
Speaker 1: dollars a year. He's not that guy. He's just not.
22:54
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether you bring Herndon in and
22:56
Speaker 1: you let him sit for a week and see if
22:57
Speaker 1: you can't mix it up, and I don't know what
22:59
Speaker 1: you do, but right now he's the weak spot on
23:03
Speaker 1: the defense and they're attacking. Much respect to him for
23:06
Speaker 1: standing in the locker room yesterday and answering the question,
23:09
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of guys in this league, especially
23:11
Speaker 1: a guy that used to be here right who wouldn't
23:13
Speaker 1: have He would have ignored it. Jalen Ramsey would have
23:16
Speaker 1: walked out the back door and would not have stood
23:18
Speaker 1: and done it. So respect to Shack as a human being,
23:20
Speaker 1: as a man for doing that. Um, but that's a
23:23
Speaker 1: spot in the defense that's got to get fixed fast,
23:26
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure you can fix it unless you
23:27
Speaker 1: try something new. Yeah, it's uh uh. I also think
23:34
Speaker 1: not in shacks defense, because you're right, he's at a
23:37
Speaker 1: target and has not held up. The pass rush which
23:43
Speaker 1: had ten sacks going in five him against his cold
23:46
Speaker 1: steam has not gotten home for the last two weeks.
23:49
Speaker 1: I think yesterday part of that was the Colts knew
23:53
Speaker 1: they couldn't cover that inside crosser, so as a result,
23:57
Speaker 1: the pass threst didn't have time to get him. Even
23:59
Speaker 1: on the last a uh, Matt Ryan threwed under pretty
24:02
Speaker 1: significant dress. He made a nice play with a guy
24:04
Speaker 1: in his face and threw it up and made the play.
24:06
Speaker 1: There was a little of that yesterday, him getting the
24:08
Speaker 1: ball out right before. But that's what he does. Um. Yeah.
24:12
Speaker 1: I mean he's not the only one. Uh. He needs
24:15
Speaker 1: to play better defensively, but I will be interested to
24:18
Speaker 1: see where that goes as well. I heard it in
24:20
Speaker 1: Doug's voice. He used the word decisions, um, and I
24:24
Speaker 1: think it was obviously guys have bad days like that,
24:26
Speaker 1: I mean really bad days like that. Um, but you
24:30
Speaker 1: don't get two of them. And I keep hearing the comments,
24:32
Speaker 1: especially from fans and just people in general, just saying, Okay, well,
24:35
Speaker 1: how can you sit millions of dollars on the bench.
24:37
Speaker 1: How can you sit a sixteen million dollar cap hit
24:40
Speaker 1: on the bench? I think very easily. I mean This
24:43
Speaker 1: isn't this coaching staff's move. This wasn't their idea, and
24:45
Speaker 1: it's what are you doing for me now lately? If
24:47
Speaker 1: you weren't playing up to part I'm with you, you
24:50
Speaker 1: got to try something different because we've seen the result
24:52
Speaker 1: for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. Three year
24:54
Speaker 1: deal paid him about fourteen million dollars guaranteed a year
24:57
Speaker 1: for the first three years. You'd like to have that
25:00
Speaker 1: and back. Yeah, right, you'd like to have that one back.
25:02
Speaker 1: But the other side of it is you've got you
25:05
Speaker 1: can't go from shock to worse, So you have to
25:09
Speaker 1: make sure that what you're doing there you only have provement.
25:12
Speaker 1: I think you only have one move. Yeah, and that's
25:14
Speaker 1: Trey Herndon, who they like and they've talked about that's
25:17
Speaker 1: the only move that you can make. Well, you can't
25:19
Speaker 1: put Chris Claybrooks in there, zero of funds to him.
25:21
Speaker 1: But that's where it gets bad worse. Well, that was
25:23
Speaker 1: where two years ago he was playing at the end
25:25
Speaker 1: of the year because he has it right and it
25:27
Speaker 1: wasn't good. No, there's not a lot of moves you
25:29
Speaker 1: can make. That's when you can. I'll be interested to
25:31
Speaker 1: see if they do or if they go back to
25:33
Speaker 1: shack for another week. I want to say one more time,
25:37
Speaker 1: much respecting him for standing there and answer your question.
25:39
Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys in today's day, in
25:40
Speaker 1: the age of they don't think they should be questioned.
25:42
Speaker 1: He did. He's a man, and it's very easy to say,
25:45
Speaker 1: just bench him. But what is the other option? What
25:48
Speaker 1: are the other plans and options? I mean, and it's
25:50
Speaker 1: so easy to say, yeah, I just bench him, But
25:52
Speaker 1: what do you put it in there? You don't have
25:54
Speaker 1: five stars on the Yeah? Absolutely, all right, John, what
25:56
Speaker 1: do you got I need to read it because they
25:59
Speaker 1: gave you last night on a playing I can't remember
26:00
Speaker 1: what it was. Yeah, this is what this team is. Um.
26:03
Speaker 1: I thought John was just making this statement to me
26:05
Speaker 1: on the plane. I'm like, yeah, great, Sometimes that's what
26:07
Speaker 1: take is. And I know it's simple. I know we've
26:09
Speaker 1: already talked about it. But they've had They're a young team,
26:14
Speaker 1: they're not a great team with elite players all over
26:17
Speaker 1: the roster. They don't necessarily have what I would think
26:20
Speaker 1: of as the bailout guys when it's you know, and
26:25
Speaker 1: Trevor is starting to get there at times, with huge
26:28
Speaker 1: play when it's needed most. They didn't really have that
26:31
Speaker 1: on defense right now. They only have that on offense
26:33
Speaker 1: right now, so when the games get tight, there's not
26:36
Speaker 1: sort of a go to moment, go to player. They're
26:40
Speaker 1: better than they were last year. There two and four.
26:43
Speaker 1: Every game has come down to the last two minutes.
26:45
Speaker 1: Every loss come out to the last two minutes, and
26:47
Speaker 1: they've lost all four. So until you show that you're
26:51
Speaker 1: a team that wins those games, you're a team that doesn't.
26:54
Speaker 1: So I think that's what they are. They're a team
26:56
Speaker 1: that I said six or seven wins for the season.
26:59
Speaker 1: I still think that's very plausible. I think at some
27:01
Speaker 1: point this season they will win a couple of these
27:04
Speaker 1: that are tight. I think they'll beat teams that people
27:06
Speaker 1: are surprised they beat. I think that's in them. But
27:09
Speaker 1: they got to make those plays in the moment. So far,
27:11
Speaker 1: they haven't done it. And my hot take is the
27:13
Speaker 1: Jaguars have now shown the entire NFL exactly how you
27:17
Speaker 1: beat them. And I thought Josh Allen said this best
27:19
Speaker 1: in the locker room, those dink and dug quick passes
27:22
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars couldn't defend the past two weeks. Josh
27:25
Speaker 1: Allen said, yeah, better, But the Giants are going to
27:27
Speaker 1: do exactly this, and it's no surprise. It's no secret
27:30
Speaker 1: we have now put on tape exactly how to beat
27:33
Speaker 1: us the past two weeks. Yeah, the Gigants are gonna
27:36
Speaker 1: do this and you know that going into it. Can
27:38
Speaker 1: you defend it right now? You can't. So even if
27:41
Speaker 1: you can predict all week this is going to happen,
27:43
Speaker 1: do you have the answers? I don't know. Well, that
27:44
Speaker 1: goes back to mine. Right with Jack, they're looking at saying,
27:48
Speaker 1: where's twenty six right? And and so what Doug has
27:51
Speaker 1: to figure out is if he can get twenty six
27:53
Speaker 1: right this week right, if he can figure out Mike Caldwell,
27:58
Speaker 1: figure out how to get him right so that when
28:00
Speaker 1: he steps on the field he's ready for the challenge
28:02
Speaker 1: because every quarterback is going to find him. And that's
28:07
Speaker 1: the position the corners who have days like that find
28:09
Speaker 1: themselves in and the best rise above it. So let's
28:14
Speaker 1: see whether he can get him right. Big question going
28:16
Speaker 1: into this weekend's game against the Giants at home. When
28:19
Speaker 1: we come back on Jaguars Drive Time. Some clothing thoughts
28:32
Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Giants is sponsored by Florida Blue Year,
28:36
Speaker 1: Local Blue Cross, Blue Shield Plan. Not only by him,
28:42
Speaker 1: but I think the offense, um, you know, it was
28:46
Speaker 1: it was really good to see that for for us
28:48
Speaker 1: to go down and get that and get that touchdown
28:50
Speaker 1: and um, you know, the go ahead score there and
28:54
Speaker 1: and you know, put a lot on Trevor and he
28:57
Speaker 1: did a nice Giant made some you know made and
29:00
Speaker 1: big throws and um, you know, I'm just good to see,
29:03
Speaker 1: Um something we can learn from with him and keep
29:06
Speaker 1: building and and um, you know, uh, just continue to
29:11
Speaker 1: continue to work at it. But but that was that
29:13
Speaker 1: was good to see. Hey, coach Stug Petering s Doug
29:17
Speaker 1: Peterson echoing what we all thought for Trevor Lawrence in
29:20
Speaker 1: that final drive. It was good to see, especially after
29:23
Speaker 1: a bad couple of weeks where everyone was questioning the quarterback.
29:26
Speaker 1: That was awesome. And that's the positive we'll take into
29:28
Speaker 1: this week. And now the question is is we prepare
29:30
Speaker 1: for a Giant's team coming here to Jacksonville. What will
29:33
Speaker 1: the defense do, how will they shift? How will they
29:35
Speaker 1: fix this rather quickly in six days? That will be
29:37
Speaker 1: a big question. But my question is Cantriver to do
29:39
Speaker 1: it again, right? Can he go play consistent football turnover
29:43
Speaker 1: free football again? We'll see. I mean, consistency is the
29:48
Speaker 1: word you hear when you talk to players and coaches
29:50
Speaker 1: that separates good from great. They play consistent, you know
29:54
Speaker 1: how they're going to play well. That's we clearly do
29:57
Speaker 1: not have that in Jacksonville right now. We have very
29:59
Speaker 1: inconsider an effort. Dougs talked about it this week. The
30:02
Speaker 1: question to me is can we get the beginnings of consistency.
30:08
Speaker 1: I think you will. I think he's overall. The inconsistency
30:13
Speaker 1: has primarily been red zone stuff. Uh so, I think
30:19
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. I think this week will definitely come
30:22
Speaker 1: down to the red zone. How they perform those situations.
30:25
Speaker 1: The Giants are five and one because they've been excellent
30:28
Speaker 1: in big situations. It's what the Jaguars haven't been yet.
30:31
Speaker 1: So they're they're very similar, except for the Giants have
30:34
Speaker 1: made huge place to win games at the end, which
30:36
Speaker 1: is everything in the NFL. And that is why they
30:38
Speaker 1: are five and one and the Jaguars are two and four.
30:40
Speaker 1: Big difference there, and that is our show, Jaguars Drive
30:42
Speaker 1: Time on a Monday morning, Stay with us on Jaguars
30:45
