• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Reporters Podcast. It is Tuesday of
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Week two.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: J P.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Shadwick, Kai Stevens, John Ozer recapping the Jaguars win over
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts for the final time. Then a little
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: sneak preview coming up of the Kansas City Chiefs, the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: world champions come to EverBank Stadium this Sunday. Let's put
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a bow on this Jaguars win over the Colts and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson talked about it after the game. He talked
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: about it again on Monday. A full team effort, all
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: three phases contributed to the win in one way or another.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Special team's punt return was big for Agnew The defense
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: really was the star of the day, and then the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: offense had their moments and made some big plays and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: cashed in touchdowns to overtake the Colts.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: At the end.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: John, and Hey, sometimes that's what it takes. You talked
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: about it all week coming into it. It might be
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a fight to the end, and it certainly was.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: The good teams in this league win this way. You
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: didn't play your best. I don't think they're satisfied with it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: There are a lot of mistakes and they won a
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: division game on the road. They're in first place in
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: the division, nobody's tied with them, and they have a
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: road win already. They won by ten points, and we're
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: complaining about a thirty one point game from the offense
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: and a ten point margin total.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: So I guess it's a new era of Jaguars football.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You guys were on the opposite side of things for
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a while, so, you know, playing close and then not
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: coming away with victory. Obviously, you know that frustration. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: now this is a good problem to have where you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: get the win. Somehow it doesn't look great, but you
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: got the victory. I'll give John his flowers. He called
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: this out last week and said it was going to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: be a lot tighter than we all thought and that
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it was gonna probably end up being this way.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So you're a genius.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Full credit to John for being as wise as he is.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I take credit where it's deserved and undeserved, So
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I'll take I'll take that. But again, a lot of
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: anngs and a lot of fans just really angry and worried.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: And I'm not weak ones weird. If you win, you're happy,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: and so I think they'll be fine. I don't have
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: any question. The offense is going to be good at
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: some point this year. They'll get into a rhythm. They
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: didn't play their best and they won the game. JP.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yes, that's how it happens. It's not a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: margin of victory, there's no the power rankings don't matter,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: there's not an ap pole on mine, whatever.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: But the win matters. And that's what happened on Sunday.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The defense held the Colts to a combined three of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: seventeen on third and fourth down in the game, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that was a story really for both sides, but the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: defense stopping them in big moments on the fourth down conversions.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: You got to get off the field in that moment.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Guy, We've been talking about the defense for months now,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and for us, I will give them all the props.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen came out like a man on fire that's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: playing for a contract, and that's exactly what happened. Three sacks,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: but also his tackle for loss and just like he
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: was in it felt like he was in on everything,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: which is exactly what you want to see. Setting it
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: up for others. There was a couple could have been
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: sacks if Anthony Richardson wasn't as strong as he was
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: getting the ball out last second that easily could have
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: been you know, they had four sacks as a team
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and easily could have been five, six, seven, and they
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: kept them in this game, right, And I think Doug
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Peterson alluded to that on Monday when he was talking
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to us, saying, you know, sometimes until the offense gets
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to where it's going to be for the entire season,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the defense really helps you out in those first couple
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of games. And we certainly saw that on Sunday against
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the Colts. And if this is what they can do
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: when the team's in trouble, We've been talking about them
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: playing with the lead, how good they could be. If
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: they show they can be this good even when you
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: know keeping the team in it, this sky's the limit
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: for them the offense gets going to what we think
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they can be.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: I thought Josh Allen played like Josh Allen always does. Frankly,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: he he had three sacks. He's had a lot of
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: games in the past where he almost had three sacks.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: This time he got.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Credit for a couple and played great against the run
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: and was solid and it was their best defensive player,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: which I think he has been for some time. The
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: defense kept them in it in the first half with
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: some big stops in the second quarter when it felt
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: like the game could have gotten away from them, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: in the second half after they gave up the Pittman touchdown.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I had the stat wrong this morning when I was
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: writing it. Five series they give up a total.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Of two yards.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: It's pretty good until that last one where they were
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: already up ten, and it felt like they were just
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: trying to manage clock more than trying to get the
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: ball back. The Colts at that point had taken a
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: lead on a weird play. You felt like was getting
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: away from five straight series.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: With a total of two yards. I don't care who
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: you're playing the time.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, I can't even say, oh, Mike called,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: well's this Mike.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Look.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: They came up big when it mattered most. I don't
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: know if they'll do it again. I don't know if
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: they do it Sunday. It's a harder task. But within
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the task of what they could accomplish on Sunday, they
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: were the difference.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Oh so, can we talk a little bit about like
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: everyone's complaining they scored thirty one points in a game
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: they didn't play.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Very well exactly.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And on the offensive Sidekid of your point, the Jaguars
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: on offense were combined four of fifteen on third and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: fourth downs, and we talked to Doug Peterson Monday about that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: He said, we kne where they were going to line
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: up just execution. We couldn't figure it out. The average
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: was third and four and it just didn't work out
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that way, Hui. But they did find a way in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: those key moments late to find the end zone.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And it feels like there was obviously mistakes. You know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: that would have been interception by Trevor, the Ridley fumble
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that went out of bounds. There's things that were not great,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: but they bounced back from in a way that you
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: like to see. Or even like Ciscot called for that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: penalty for fifteen you know, I mean, whatever you feel
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: about that, he could call for the penalty and then immediately,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you know, force the fumble basically in the next possession.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It's it's that bounce back and that resiliency. Obviously we've
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: seen them do it in a charge game, but just
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to have that continued and in various positions, that's what
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you want to see in a winning team because things
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: don't go your way, specifically when you're on the road,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: specifically in week one, in situations like that. But it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the bounce back, it's the Doug continuing to go forward
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and fourth down no matter what the situation is. It's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: it's the way they're going about it that has to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: give you, you know, the good feelings and good promise going forward.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought the third and fourth down conversions was key,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: especially with the Jaguars offense, and to me, that's week
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: one stuff. Doug said right after the game, you're not
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: going to be firing on all cylinders whatever phrase you
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: use in week one, even two and three, you're trying
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: to get going that I think that's an offshoot of
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: the way the preseason is.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: You know there's no contact, you're not quite ready to
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: go quite yet. So I think again, I just think
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: with Trevor Lawrence, with this offense, they are going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: hit a groove and get things really really going. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: don't worry about that side of the ball being efficient
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: to scoring a lot of points to score thirty one
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: when they didn't really have that a game to do
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: it on the road against gust did a nice job
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: with this scheme.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: I think Bucky Brooks talked about it a lot last
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: weeks that they were.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Going to have to be patient, it was going to
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: be clunky, you were going to have to wait and
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: get it going. What a key thing, and so many
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: fans get frustrated when the running game doesn't work, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: then the deluge of emails. They got to take play
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: calling duties away from press. They're giving away series. If
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: you're going to run in the NFL, you have to
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: have the patients to belie leave in it, even when
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: it gets one, one and three on a series and lo.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: And behold sixty one yards in the fourth quarter. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: think it was.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Including that long touchdown from ETN at the end.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: You don't get the bigs B run that set up
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: the touchdown and the ETN run if you quit on it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, And also Doug touched a little bit on this
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: when we heard from him. Just his philosophy with the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: rookies is easy to say but hard to do where
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you're like, gotta let him learn and Tank learned, I'm
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: sure from failure at points, Yes, Sunday, excuse me. And
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it's easy to say that, yeah, we want them to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: learn now rather than you know in January. But sometimes
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it's painful to watch, right, You're like, what are you
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: doing out there? But you can't shy away from it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Doug certainly doesn't, and I think it'll benefit them in
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the long run for sure.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I'll say this in tanks defense, and I know two errors.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: The catch was not that easy, no, I mean he
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: was kind of twisting.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: I get that. She I get there lived to the interception.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: I don't necessarily think that every back in the league
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: makes that play easily.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: So you know, and then the fumble.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I get there's some situational some situational awareness there. But
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I'll bet if if you really asked all other ten
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Jaguars players aside from Trevor Lawrence on that play, if
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: they would have acted that much different.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: There wasn't a lot of physical cues for anybody else
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Play where the whole vibe felt like it was over
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: and every every player around You imagine yourself from that
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: moment you catch the ball and you see the offensive
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: line acting like incomplete pass because it was kind of.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: A you know, you probably didn't see it either necessarily,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: so so go with the cues of what you're seeing.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: He'll learn.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: My guess is next time he's in that situation, he'll
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: be running, or he'll be down, or he'll be punching.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: You know, something's going I think, but I don't know.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Trevor said after the game.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: It's kind of unfortunate that it happened to a rookie
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: because a lot of guys would have probably done the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: same thing.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they'll just blame it on the rookie thing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It's really not it's a it was just a od.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: It was just weird, really odd play.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Jaguars got a done though thirty one to twenty one
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: win over the Indianapolis Colts Division win everybody else in
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the AFC South loss of the Jaguars are in first place.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: When we return a preview of the Kansas City Chiefs
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: coming to town on Jaguars Reporters. Welcome back to the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Reporters podcast. JP Shadwick, John Ozier, Kai Stevens. The
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Jaguars coming off will win and Indy and now it's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a home game and the Chiefs Jaguars matchup is presented
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: by EverBank and what a game it should be.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: The defending champions are in town.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: The team that knocked the Jaguars out of the playoffs
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: last year beat them twice in fact, once in the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: regular season or Narrowhead as well. The Jaguars have now
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: lost seven straight meetings, including the playoff game, to the Chiefs,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and they're getting closer. But it's the Chiefs team that
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is the gold standard of the AFC these days, with
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the quarterback and the play caller and the weapons that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: go with it. They may not be as stout in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: terms of weapons as they were a few years ago,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: but they're still coming off a Super Bowl when they
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: have horses to do it. The big question this week
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: is will two of those weapons be available. Travis Kelcey
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: tight end with a knee issue going into game number one.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He did not play against the Lions. He'll have a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: little extra time to see if he's available. And then
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Chris Jones, the fantastic defensive tackle, is in a contract
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: dispute and we'll see if that even gets resolved. It
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: might be even too late at this point for him
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: even if he were to resolve it to be ready
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. Those are questions that aside. There's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: still the Chiefs and They're still a powerful, powerful football team.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: John, Yeah, And it feels frankly, if you weren't close
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: to the Jaguars and just looking at this nationally, this
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: feels like a game that the Super Bowl champs figure
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: out a way to get because it's Mahomes, because it's
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: you know, it's the way it works.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: They lost for me.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: For the Jaguars, it if you win this, boy, what
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: a blow you deliver and what a.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Statement you make. Are they ready to do it?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know a mature team that's really really ready
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: and ready to flex does it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: We'll find out Sunday. If they're that team.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: The opportunity is certainly there. As we discussed obviously, sending
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs to be zero and two, you get a
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: tiebreaker and seating looking ahead, it would be huge. And
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: on paper they have what I always say is like
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that first that first on the road game where it's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: you know, it's either in Florida where it's really hot,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: or it's against the team you play all the time,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: like we just experienced against Indianapolis. There's always something weird
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: about those games. Obviously we've gone through that in Week
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: one already, but it just feels like it might be
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: that way, and I know everyone's probably like, don't drink
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it or whatever, because I know all our Jacksonville fans
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: are a little superstitious at times. But it just feels
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: like it's there for the opportunity. It's there for the taking.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: If they don't win, it will be because the Jaguars
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: don't execute. I don't know if it necessarily know if
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it's going to because Mahomes does Mahomes things. I think
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it will be up there for the Jags to take.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And there's been times in the past John to her point,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I mean the Jags which have been outmanned. It doesn't
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: feel like that anymore. They have a roster that can
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: hang with most teams, even the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they can hang with them.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Bills beat them last year.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and without Kelsey it's a different offense.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: It's there.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: You're also playing what might be an all time quarterback. Yeah,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: which always you say Mahomes won't do Mahomes things.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: He does those things a lot.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: And those guys are tough to knock out even when
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: you've got them in your site. So it's a mammoth
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: challenge and Jaguars can do it, and that's you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: it's only Monday. I don't yet have the vision locked
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: in like I did last week. It's going to be
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: a dynamite, fun week and it's why you like being
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: around this.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's what everybody's been waiting for since the divisional playoff
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: loss last year in Kansas City, the Jaguars entertaining the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. By the way, the Chiefs have not
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: started h to two since twenty fourteen. Alex Smith was
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, Doug Peterson was the offensive coordinator of that team.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: They did rally and finish nine and seven that year.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: By the way, It's been a while though, since an
• 14:43
