Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Jime with Ashley sull of Suns,
0:07
Speaker 1: John Oshan Bryan Sect. Jack starts right now. Yeah, I
0:17
Speaker 1: mean it's you know, I just I just told them
0:19
Speaker 1: in there. I mean, we have to play clean football,
0:21
Speaker 1: and we haven't been able to do that. Um, whether
0:23
Speaker 1: it's whether it's the drops, you know. Um. The one
0:25
Speaker 1: thing that I've really priest with the guys was, um,
0:28
Speaker 1: I wanted them play sixty minutes and not measure the game,
0:30
Speaker 1: you know, because you you have to be able to
0:32
Speaker 1: learn how to win. And these games in the NFL
0:34
Speaker 1: are are raisor razors thin and Um, whether it's a
0:37
Speaker 1: drop passes, whether it's an opportunity right there on, I
0:39
Speaker 1: don't know what it was starting nine to get to
0:41
Speaker 1: get a stop, We get a stop, the offense got
0:43
Speaker 1: a chance to go win the game, we give up
0:44
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Um, So you know, those are those are
0:47
Speaker 1: chances for us to make plays, whether you know, whether
0:50
Speaker 1: it's making any tackle, whether it's a make giving them
0:52
Speaker 1: good calls, whether it's catching the ball, whether it's throwing
0:54
Speaker 1: the ball or protect. We gotta clean that up and
0:56
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta learn how to win. And we
0:58
Speaker 1: gotta learn how to win those close games, and this
1:00
Speaker 1: thing will start to talk once again. Too many mistakes
1:03
Speaker 1: for a football team that is not good enough to
1:05
Speaker 1: overcome them. Right now, a final score of thirty to
1:08
Speaker 1: six team the Jaguars loose. The Houston Texans get swept
1:11
Speaker 1: this season by the Houston Texans. And I believe on
1:14
Speaker 1: Jaguars drive, especially on Mondays, were very realistic, and I
1:18
Speaker 1: was surprised by this. I think we look at each
1:21
Speaker 1: game we say, yeah, they're going to struggle this week,
1:22
Speaker 1: and I don't know if they're gonna be able to
1:24
Speaker 1: win this week. I thought the Jaguars would win. They
1:27
Speaker 1: had juice, and we all thought that. I thought they
1:29
Speaker 1: would play better this week. Oh you should just go
1:32
Speaker 1: right there too, big things, because we have so much
1:34
Speaker 1: to say, we're gonna walk all over it. But yeah,
1:36
Speaker 1: I think all of us thought that there was an
1:38
Speaker 1: energy level in the building after the change was made,
1:41
Speaker 1: and um, well, the energy can't overcome the ineffectiveness, right Well,
1:45
Speaker 1: I thought a couple of things. First of all, how
1:48
Speaker 1: do we know how that juice would have worked? When
1:50
Speaker 1: you gave them fourteen points? I mean that was a
1:53
Speaker 1: big in you sort of missed that. That was sort
1:56
Speaker 1: of same old, same, Oh you had the penalty where
1:58
Speaker 1: you could have got on the field, and then he
1:59
Speaker 1: gave him a kickoff return. Well, if it's ten nothing
2:02
Speaker 1: with juice, that's different to being down fourteen tim and juice.
2:06
Speaker 1: I also think, like I said on Rapid Recap last night,
2:09
Speaker 1: I remembered the Doug Morone effect in two thousand and
2:12
Speaker 1: seventeen where there was energy, But I don't think everybody
2:16
Speaker 1: at that point was just exhausted from the quote Gus
2:20
Speaker 1: Bradley experience, you know, I think it. To me it
2:24
Speaker 1: looked on Sunday like, once it got sort of squirreling,
2:28
Speaker 1: it felt exhausted from the whole experience of the last year.
2:32
Speaker 1: Maybe that's too simplistic, Maybe I'm missing something. That's what
2:34
Speaker 1: it felt like when when they got him off the
2:36
Speaker 1: field in the first drive and forced him to punt
2:38
Speaker 1: three and out. I wrote, you know in my notes,
2:41
Speaker 1: big moment here, and then I wrote getting milk not again, right, right,
2:49
Speaker 1: not again? Um, because it was the first time they
2:52
Speaker 1: had tossed it three and out of their opponent in
2:53
Speaker 1: six weeks on the opening drive, right, and then everything
2:56
Speaker 1: just kept cascading it was not six straight weeks of
2:59
Speaker 1: being down by double digits in the first half, right,
3:01
Speaker 1: I mean, these things just keep piling on, and I
3:05
Speaker 1: think now at this point of the season, it's too
3:07
Speaker 1: heavy for them to overcome it. Totally big of a
3:09
Speaker 1: lift for this team which is not strong enough. Yeah,
3:14
Speaker 1: not playing good football right now. An amazing stattle on
3:16
Speaker 1: those lines. It's been since Week five against Tennessee that
3:19
Speaker 1: the defense did not give up points on the first drive.
3:22
Speaker 1: Now there's some circumstances with that. I think there's a
3:25
Speaker 1: turnover once or whatever. But for this team to always
3:29
Speaker 1: be in a hole or always be playing up hill,
3:31
Speaker 1: it's tough. Yes, it is. That leads us to big
3:33
Speaker 1: thing one, which is woe full. Oh one series summarized
3:36
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense in a nutshell from yesterday. After Tyson
3:39
Speaker 1: Campbell's interception gave them the ball the Texans seventeen yard line,
3:43
Speaker 1: Lawrence was sacked for a one yard loss, dropped for
3:46
Speaker 1: a two yard loss, and found his tight end for
3:49
Speaker 1: eight yards. They were down by ten points. They settled
3:52
Speaker 1: for a field goal, and coach Beble knows this offense
3:54
Speaker 1: has to do more. Yeah, I mean I thought there
3:58
Speaker 1: was I thought there were things that we did better today.
4:00
Speaker 1: You know. Um, you know there was there was a
4:02
Speaker 1: little bit of explosion. You were able to find, you know,
4:04
Speaker 1: find guys. We were able to create some space for
4:07
Speaker 1: some people. But again we just said, there's opportunities to
4:09
Speaker 1: make plays. We didn't make some of them, and we
4:11
Speaker 1: gotta catch the ball. We gotta throw the ball. Um
4:13
Speaker 1: we got you know, we gotta protect better and we'll
4:16
Speaker 1: be able. We'll be able to find and find the
4:17
Speaker 1: ind zone. But it's just it's on us to continue
4:19
Speaker 1: to improve. Big things too. Is another bad beginning. We
4:22
Speaker 1: just talked about it at the top of the show.
4:24
Speaker 1: Instead of a three and out for the Texans on
4:26
Speaker 1: the opening session, a five yard penalty on gotus gave
4:29
Speaker 1: the ball back to the Texans, who went on to score.
4:32
Speaker 1: Then they gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown,
4:34
Speaker 1: and we're down by ten plus points in the first
4:37
Speaker 1: half for the sixth consecutive game. The defense has no rests.
4:41
Speaker 1: It has to get right back on the field. Oh,
4:45
Speaker 1: it's it's tough, but you know we're a team, or
4:47
Speaker 1: we know that the team is counting us to get
4:50
Speaker 1: the ball back and put them in a good food position.
4:53
Speaker 1: So you know, we just take up front of ourselves
4:55
Speaker 1: and and take that pride as a defense to'll go
4:57
Speaker 1: out and you know, prevent a under from scoring or
5:01
Speaker 1: get off from the ball. So it's tough, but you
5:03
Speaker 1: know we made for it. And finally, big thing three,
5:06
Speaker 1: like every Monday, is tracking Trevor Lawrence. And this was
5:08
Speaker 1: a rough game for the rookie quarterback and the big
5:11
Speaker 1: biggest concern now is he has not thrown a touchdown
5:13
Speaker 1: pass in three consecutive weeks. The frustration is there, and
5:17
Speaker 1: it should be. That's really not my focus right now. Um.
5:23
Speaker 1: Right now I know is that you know, coach bebs
5:25
Speaker 1: our our head coach and everything else is still intact,
5:28
Speaker 1: and that's what we're that's what we're focused on moving
5:31
Speaker 1: forward and just trying to get better. You know, I
5:32
Speaker 1: thought we um, we moved the ball out better on
5:35
Speaker 1: offense today. It's a step in the right direction. But
5:36
Speaker 1: we just gotta make plays down the stretch or now
5:38
Speaker 1: and when we need him third fourth quarter, Um, I
5:42
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta make the throws. Guys that make the catches.
5:44
Speaker 1: It's all of us, you know, we gotta make more plays.
5:46
Speaker 1: I missed a big throw on third down, UM, like
5:48
Speaker 1: eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. So um. But
5:51
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's nice to see us moving the
5:53
Speaker 1: ball again like we like we were earlier in the year.
5:55
Speaker 1: So that was a step in the right direction. But
5:57
Speaker 1: we just gotta we gotta finish. Right there, Trevor Lawrence
6:01
Speaker 1: was asked, are you looking forward to having more say
6:03
Speaker 1: with this team? There were reports saying that Jaguar's owner
6:06
Speaker 1: Shot con And has said Trevor Lawrence will have more
6:08
Speaker 1: say going forward, and I don't blame him for saying, yeah,
6:10
Speaker 1: I can't worry about that right now. We have three
6:12
Speaker 1: weeks left to play. Well, that's not the place for
6:14
Speaker 1: it a postgame press. I mean, the question was fine,
6:19
Speaker 1: but Trevor handled it right. A postgame press commerce is
6:22
Speaker 1: not time to get into that. Time to get into
6:24
Speaker 1: that is a more detailed interview where shot Or Trevor said, yeah,
6:27
Speaker 1: this is what it is. I don't doubt that that's true.
6:31
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's perfect sense. Uh. In terms of
6:34
Speaker 1: woe flow, we're there, yeah, I mean, because I'm woe
6:37
Speaker 1: flo but we're talking about woe flow. In terms of
6:40
Speaker 1: the offense. There's so many things to break down, and
6:43
Speaker 1: and we've broken it down forever. Trevor has one touchdown
6:45
Speaker 1: passing this last seven games. I'll get to that later. Um,
6:50
Speaker 1: I know people are tired of me harping on the receivers,
6:53
Speaker 1: the receiver. The receivers are tired of me harping on
6:55
Speaker 1: the receivers. And nothing is anybody's specific fault. But you
6:58
Speaker 1: look at Brandon cook with a twenty two yard and
7:01
Speaker 1: forty three yard touchdown pass the Cooks play at the
7:05
Speaker 1: end of the game where they got an easy one.
7:09
Speaker 1: This offense right now has given this team, except for
7:12
Speaker 1: the Jamal Agnew sixty six yard run, there's never an
7:15
Speaker 1: easy one. If there had been two easy ones yesterday,
7:18
Speaker 1: that's a thirty thirty game, you know. So that the
7:23
Speaker 1: whole thing of beating the table with it's hard to
7:25
Speaker 1: go eighty yards five yards at a time, that still
7:29
Speaker 1: rings true, and it's still something they have to fix
7:32
Speaker 1: if they're not going to be a woful up. So
7:34
Speaker 1: how many weeks have I been talking about short fields,
7:38
Speaker 1: right and easy opportunities? So I thought that that early
7:41
Speaker 1: fourth quarter opportunity there where they had a chance down
7:43
Speaker 1: ten and Tyson Campbell gives him the ball the sevent team. Um,
7:47
Speaker 1: here's where I shook my head at the quarterback. He's
7:50
Speaker 1: not learned not to just throw it away. He runs
7:53
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and steps out of bounds for
7:56
Speaker 1: one yard loss. All right, it's one yard. However, he
7:58
Speaker 1: took a big hit from the safety he didn't need
8:00
Speaker 1: to take. Then on the next play it's the run option.
8:02
Speaker 1: He takes it and he gets dropped for a two
8:04
Speaker 1: yard loss, and then he finds James O'Shaughnessy for eight
8:07
Speaker 1: yards in the middle field goal. To me, that summed
8:09
Speaker 1: up where they are. They can't score, They can't create opportunities,
8:15
Speaker 1: even point blank like that. And John I will harp
8:18
Speaker 1: on the receivers. I thought Marvin Jones would be able
8:21
Speaker 1: to get open this year. He doesn't get open, right,
8:23
Speaker 1: Liviscauselt needs to be gimmicked to get open because he
8:27
Speaker 1: doesn't get open. Treadwell is what treadwell is. I mean,
8:30
Speaker 1: he's on his third team and he's a guy who
8:33
Speaker 1: dropped two passes yesterday. Um, wet ball, wet field, all
8:37
Speaker 1: of that stuff. This thing is broken down on the
8:41
Speaker 1: side of the NFL season, and you can't fix it
8:43
Speaker 1: this year. You can't you're not gonna say, well, James Robinson, Hey,
8:47
Speaker 1: he still looked like a guy even though he ran
8:49
Speaker 1: the ball well yesterday who was not going to be
8:52
Speaker 1: able to do what he normally does. He couldn't bounce
8:54
Speaker 1: to the outside on one particular run. You can't fix
8:57
Speaker 1: what ails this team this season. And my impression of
9:00
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrences news conference yesterday was he might be counting
9:03
Speaker 1: down the minutes until this season is over, right, not
9:06
Speaker 1: the games anymore or the weeks, the minutes, because he
9:09
Speaker 1: had this look of resignation on his face. And there's
9:13
Speaker 1: nothing more to say. You and I talked about this
9:14
Speaker 1: on the field after rapid recap. No one wanted to
9:16
Speaker 1: ask any questions, right What were you gonna ask? How
9:19
Speaker 1: are you gonna fix this? You can't. You can't right now.
9:21
Speaker 1: You can't fix it. Yeah, you're fixing in March, you
9:23
Speaker 1: fix in April. But I understand he can't go there
9:25
Speaker 1: right now. Sarah left with what do you say? They
9:27
Speaker 1: didn't do a good enough job in building the weapons
9:31
Speaker 1: for this kid this year? They just didn't. You look
9:34
Speaker 1: at what Bill Belichick has done. Uh, and he spent
9:36
Speaker 1: a ton of money, but he put a system in
9:39
Speaker 1: place around that rookie quarterback and have allowed him to
9:41
Speaker 1: do what he needs to do. They didn't do that
9:44
Speaker 1: here this year. This wouldn't have made this team rams,
9:48
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not a coincidence that the huge
9:56
Speaker 1: slide down has come without DJHR, without Dan Arnold, without
10:02
Speaker 1: Jamal Agney, and even without E t N. You know,
10:05
Speaker 1: they weren't. Again, I think they should have done more,
10:09
Speaker 1: but they weren't. This negligent if you follow, I mean, yeah,
10:13
Speaker 1: they had a planet shark ETN where their speed agneus
10:17
Speaker 1: or speed. With that gone, there's nothing but that said,
10:21
Speaker 1: it still wouldn't have been enough, but it would have
10:24
Speaker 1: been better than this. Yeah, I agree with that, and
10:26
Speaker 1: that is big things. When we come back on Jaguars
10:28
Speaker 1: Drive Times, some highlights on the Jaguars Digital Network. Drive
10:37
Speaker 1: Time has brought to you by t I, A a
10:39
Speaker 1: bank during potential into progress, and by publics where shopping
10:44
Speaker 1: is a pleasure. If your car is that a manufacturer's
10:58
Speaker 1: warrants you don't get stuck with expensive mechanical and computer
11:01
Speaker 1: repairs called car shield. We're back Jaguars Drive Time. It
11:06
Speaker 1: is Monday, which means we have some highlights from yesterday's
11:09
Speaker 1: game a loss for Houston Texans three to sixteen. And
11:12
Speaker 1: we go to the first quarter. Like we mentioned the
11:14
Speaker 1: big things, that Jaguars had a big three and out.
11:16
Speaker 1: It was a big moment. Adam Gossips big penalty gave
11:20
Speaker 1: the Texans a new set of downs and then this happened.
11:26
Speaker 1: Bill's rolling right throws over the middle of wide open
11:29
Speaker 1: Cooks touchdown. What an opening drive by detections from Brandon
11:41
Speaker 1: Cooks looked like he was going to block early. They
11:43
Speaker 1: engage with the defensive backs, but it is a run
11:47
Speaker 1: past option the entire way. Yeah, and I let him
11:51
Speaker 1: talk because he he was right. Shack got fulled. He
11:56
Speaker 1: looked at at the quarterback and he let Brandon kids
12:00
Speaker 1: go by. And you should never let Brandy Cooks, especially
12:03
Speaker 1: if you play for the Jaguars. He has killed this
12:06
Speaker 1: team for the last two years. And if you go
12:09
Speaker 1: back to seen he did in the AC Championship game. Also, Yeah,
12:13
Speaker 1: and again, Jaguars offensively never get a play like that easy.
12:20
Speaker 1: That's when Shack wants back. This offense makes everything look hard. Yes,
12:24
Speaker 1: speaking of that, the Jaguars have a chance to respond
12:27
Speaker 1: to that opening drive touchdown a very long opening drive
12:30
Speaker 1: and have to settle for a field goal. First down
12:33
Speaker 1: in ten, Lawrence has a wide open man that's so
12:38
Speaker 1: Shawn to see down the side in the Houston territory
12:42
Speaker 1: and finally taken down by Garrett Wallow. Trevor Lawrence actually
12:47
Speaker 1: had a couple of options on that play, but it's
12:49
Speaker 1: so shawna see who goes for thirty U punter Logan
12:53
Speaker 1: Cook is the holder and the kick is good. So
12:57
Speaker 1: an opening drive field goal for Jackson elth It's now
13:01
Speaker 1: seven three in favor of all Right, yeah, yeah, yes
13:06
Speaker 1: it was. Um I kind of get why Bevil went
13:08
Speaker 1: with that, he was asking the presser afterwards. They ran
13:11
Speaker 1: a seven yard run on third. On third and ten
13:15
Speaker 1: from the eleven, got to the four, started to go
13:18
Speaker 1: for then thought better of it. Uh, maybe I'm just
13:21
Speaker 1: old school. I'm not big on the constant going forward
13:23
Speaker 1: on fourth and everybody's doing right now. I was finally
13:26
Speaker 1: getting points there for this team, in particular coming off
13:28
Speaker 1: of a shut out. They needed something. I thought on
13:31
Speaker 1: the first couple of drives. It it's why I have
13:35
Speaker 1: not lost faith in Trevor, I thought on the first
13:37
Speaker 1: couple of drives. He looked like the guy you thought
13:40
Speaker 1: you were getting. I thought, right before the bye he
13:41
Speaker 1: looked like that yesterday. I thought a huge element first
13:45
Speaker 1: two drives, you could tell Bevil was doing what he
13:48
Speaker 1: really wanted to do. Um and game planned and scheme
13:53
Speaker 1: ten points with this offense right now, it's hard to
13:57
Speaker 1: sustain that the entire game. The other team adjusted. There's
14:00
Speaker 1: not enough to readjust to if you're this offense. Early
14:03
Speaker 1: they schemed a lot of guys open, but as the
14:06
Speaker 1: game went on, guys couldn't get open on their own
14:08
Speaker 1: and became the problem because the quarterback had to hold
14:11
Speaker 1: the ball too long. And there were a couple of
14:12
Speaker 1: instances yesterday John where he could have dumped the ball
14:15
Speaker 1: and got rid of it and took a sack and
14:16
Speaker 1: he didn't need to it. But if you're talking about him,
14:19
Speaker 1: and you know we had the tracking trail, we didn't
14:21
Speaker 1: get to a whole lot. Everybody's really concerned about, right
14:24
Speaker 1: because he did not look good in the second half
14:26
Speaker 1: of that game yesterday, But early when the confidence was there,
14:29
Speaker 1: when it was going right, he looked like the guy,
14:32
Speaker 1: and he looked like you're supposed to be. That's what
14:34
Speaker 1: you've got to reset to. But that's my hot tapes. Okay,
14:37
Speaker 1: let's keep on going. Right after that field goal, the
14:39
Speaker 1: biggest auto of the game, he said, A nice year
14:43
Speaker 1: board detections in the kick return department. In fact, earlier
14:46
Speaker 1: this month he signed a one year contract extension. I'll
14:51
Speaker 1: take this from this whole one yard line following. Nice
14:57
Speaker 1: job out across the fie. He's got blockers, he's gonna distance. Yeah,
15:07
Speaker 1: everybody's killing Sorens in this morning for that. Um, I
15:09
Speaker 1: wouldn't kill him if I go after Rudy Ford. Yeah.
15:12
Speaker 1: And you know on Twitter, which Ard Brian, you have Twitter,
15:18
Speaker 1: they a lot of talk about, well, you got Sorens
15:21
Speaker 1: and his terrible I don't see how you blame for
15:23
Speaker 1: the ad of God's his penalty and I think you
15:25
Speaker 1: can make that tackle right there. Well, yeah, in tackling.
15:29
Speaker 1: Tackling you use your arms, and Rudy Ford, if you
15:33
Speaker 1: see the end zone, and I don't know if we
15:34
Speaker 1: haven't comes in like this to try to knock Smith down.
15:39
Speaker 1: It didn't work. Rudy Ford, who the previous head coach
15:44
Speaker 1: said was the best gunner he had ever seen, made
15:46
Speaker 1: a very silly mistake and thought he was just gonna
15:50
Speaker 1: knock him down, and that was the difference. If Rudy Ford,
15:53
Speaker 1: he's right there, just put his arms out to tackle him.
15:56
Speaker 1: He's on the ground, and now it's seven three and
15:58
Speaker 1: you've got a chance. And they did go back to
16:00
Speaker 1: Logan cook kicking off yesterday, which negated that problem of
16:05
Speaker 1: the short kicks. Uh So, at some point if if
16:10
Speaker 1: Logan struggles with the kicking off, meaning long term, sometimes
16:16
Speaker 1: it's tough for punters to kick off. If that's the
16:18
Speaker 1: case of Logan, that's fine, he's an all pro level punter,
16:20
Speaker 1: but you gotta get a kick off game. You talk
16:22
Speaker 1: about the social media nailing Shredson, I guarantee you that
16:26
Speaker 1: he never says, hey, just put your arms up and
16:28
Speaker 1: try and knock them down. It's not stors as well. No,
16:31
Speaker 1: absolutely not. All the way to the fourth quarter we
16:33
Speaker 1: go it is Texans, Tyson Campbell gives the offensive chance,
16:42
Speaker 1: Mills passes intercepted. It's Tyson Campbell for the second interception
16:48
Speaker 1: of the season. Is Tyson Campbell's everyone wanted to grow on.
16:52
Speaker 1: Let's just decide it now. Yeah, I mean it's uh, Look,
16:57
Speaker 1: the draft class has not been what people hope yet.
17:01
Speaker 1: I've I've not lost faith in some of these guys.
17:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, this guy, avoid did they step into him
17:07
Speaker 1: with this guy? Good for them, and and and the
17:10
Speaker 1: coaching staffish talked all season long about how glad they
17:13
Speaker 1: were to have him here and how he was coming along.
17:16
Speaker 1: He's tremendously talented. He has the entire skill set that
17:19
Speaker 1: you need. He just didn't have the confidence early. Now
17:21
Speaker 1: he does now to think about what he's done. He
17:24
Speaker 1: has gone from the guy who looks like who looks
17:26
Speaker 1: like a liability. And for six weeks, I'll be honest,
17:29
Speaker 1: I didn't think he could plut I didn't think he
17:31
Speaker 1: had the instincts h and shows you what I know.
17:35
Speaker 1: But you know, he looked like a guy who was lost.
17:37
Speaker 1: And I didn't know if you'd ever teach what they
17:39
Speaker 1: were talking about with the ballsta he has been really
17:42
Speaker 1: good for six weeks. Well, Fred Taylor told me the
17:44
Speaker 1: kid could play. He knows him from South Florida. Uh,
17:47
Speaker 1: he says, it's almost family. And the kid, he just said,
17:50
Speaker 1: just hold on him, kid, hold on him his kid.
17:52
Speaker 1: And he came through. Yeah, just had proved himself nothing wrong.
17:55
Speaker 1: They look he's a nice looking anchor on one side.
17:58
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, story of this offense. You get that
18:01
Speaker 1: huge opportunity to try to go score touchdown, have to
18:03
Speaker 1: settle for a field goal after that interception, and then
18:06
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks puts the game away quick pass. It's Cooks
18:13
Speaker 1: blockers ahead, Cooks turns on the Jets. Cooks say later,
18:19
Speaker 1: touchdown Texans. I'm in the stands during the game and
18:24
Speaker 1: this was floodgates, everyone leaving at once, campling them. Yeah,
18:28
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind a leaving at that point either, And say,
18:31
Speaker 1: is he a free agent? Next? Did we go sign him?
18:34
Speaker 1: Could somebody knows this team? So, could somebody please find
18:36
Speaker 1: a way to get Brandon Cooks? Un Jackson goes, well,
18:40
Speaker 1: it's never touched on him. I mean, yeah, they're nice
18:43
Speaker 1: played by him. I think anybody fast scores on that play.
18:47
Speaker 1: But he seems to look wherever you know, so, uh,
18:51
Speaker 1: God gets open. I'm tired. I'm tired of Brandons. And
18:57
Speaker 1: those are highlights from the Jaguars lost the Houston Texans.
19:00
Speaker 1: When we come back, ope, I apologize. We have our
19:03
Speaker 1: j a frontline team of the game where Robertson Harris
19:07
Speaker 1: big tackles are one to girl on. For many, many
19:09
Speaker 1: weeks of continuing with that j a frontline team in
19:11
Speaker 1: the game that Jacksonville Jaguars like to thank this team
19:14
Speaker 1: for all they do to help our communities thrive. Please
19:16
Speaker 1: help us recognize J's frontline Team of the Game, representing
19:19
Speaker 1: the two thousand employees who were hard to serve you
19:22
Speaker 1: each and every day. We'll be back on Jaguars Drive Time,
19:27
Speaker 1: m Jacks Drive Tivers presented imparted by Dream Finders Homes
19:35
Speaker 1: Homes that fit your lifestyle and Baptists Health Changing Healthcare
19:40
Speaker 1: for Good. We're back Jaguars Drive Time and they brought
19:57
Speaker 1: to you by car Shield at this time for some
19:59
Speaker 1: hot take experiance. Worst loss of the season. Here's why
20:03
Speaker 1: I say this. It's the tenth consecutive loss in the
20:06
Speaker 1: AH and South. The last time they beat the Texans
20:09
Speaker 1: the Titans are the culture, was opening Day last year.
20:12
Speaker 1: By the way, this is eight straight losses to the
20:14
Speaker 1: Texans UM. Six of those were against the Shawn Watson
20:17
Speaker 1: and Companies. But they haven't beaten the Texans since the
20:21
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen season UM and this year they traded
20:25
Speaker 1: mark Ingram Cut, Whitney, Merciless Cut, Zack Cunningham, uh Cut,
20:30
Speaker 1: Vernon Hargreaves, benched Tyrod Taylor, And this is a team
20:34
Speaker 1: that's setting itself up for draft position. We all know
20:36
Speaker 1: where they're headed. They had twenty seven players on one
20:40
Speaker 1: year contracts. They were just trying to field the team
20:42
Speaker 1: this year. This was the year the Jaguars were supposed
20:44
Speaker 1: to sweep the Texans or at least split with the Texans. Um.
20:48
Speaker 1: It shows just how far they have to go that
20:51
Speaker 1: they couldn't beat that team. Yeah, that is ugly beat
20:56
Speaker 1: all those names. Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure. Mine sort
21:00
Speaker 1: of plays into that because after a loss like yesterday,
21:02
Speaker 1: where else do you go? But it's square one? UM,
21:07
Speaker 1: And that's unfortunate. But it's how it is. And what
21:11
Speaker 1: I mean by that is mainly Trevor Lawrence. Um. There's
21:14
Speaker 1: so much talk about Trevor, And as I said earlier
21:17
Speaker 1: in the show, I still believe in the kids talent.
21:20
Speaker 1: I believe in his leadership. I believe he's everything that
21:22
Speaker 1: everybody believes he's gonna be UM. But we don't know
21:26
Speaker 1: because he hasn't had the chance, or the season has
21:32
Speaker 1: gone awry or whatever happened. But right now, in Week fourteen,
21:36
Speaker 1: I saw the same thing you guys did. I saw
21:38
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the press conference who wants the season
21:41
Speaker 1: to be over with. I also want the season to
21:43
Speaker 1: be over with. I think I think Ashlyn Bryan. I
21:45
Speaker 1: think most people in Wars realized, you know, Bevil's gonna
21:49
Speaker 1: keep fighting. The offense stat is gonna keep fighting because
21:52
Speaker 1: it's it's their job and they should. But the development
21:57
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence, I'm not going to say that you
22:00
Speaker 1: have treated him like a rookie next year, but in
22:02
Speaker 1: turns in terms of how you judge them, judge them
22:05
Speaker 1: how you want. But his development getting back to square one,
22:09
Speaker 1: getting confidence, getting accuracy, getting all those things. The reality
22:12
Speaker 1: is now you have to start over. A year has
22:15
Speaker 1: gone in the books and now you have to start
22:17
Speaker 1: over with him. And that's very unfortunate and it's negligent, wrong,
22:21
Speaker 1: whatever you call it. It's just too bad. Well that's
22:23
Speaker 1: one of the big reasons obviously why the owner made
22:25
Speaker 1: the movie that he made last week, because look, none
22:28
Speaker 1: of us thought that this was a playoff team, and
22:30
Speaker 1: we thought maybe the best case scenario for this team was,
22:33
Speaker 1: you know, six seven wins if everything went right. But
22:37
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, here you should be
22:38
Speaker 1: looking at the rookie quarterback and going got that at least,
22:42
Speaker 1: I still am right. I still believe this kid also.
22:46
Speaker 1: But everybody who's watching him, every fan, everybody who cares
22:50
Speaker 1: about this team, everybody should be all in and go
22:53
Speaker 1: at least we've got that. Here we go with cap
22:55
Speaker 1: room and twelve draft picks and all of this, and
22:57
Speaker 1: right now everybody's sitting back going well, I hope he is,
23:01
Speaker 1: especially but she can't see it. Yeah, it's uncertain, and
23:05
Speaker 1: that's the last thing you wanted. And if you're looking,
23:08
Speaker 1: the thing to watch for is again, there's three games
23:10
Speaker 1: for the bye, the moments and yesterday, when things were
23:13
Speaker 1: going right, he looked the part. But when things are
23:18
Speaker 1: going wrong around somebody or somebody the radio say, somebody
23:22
Speaker 1: expect very much. It's almost like when he drops back
23:31
Speaker 1: he doesn't quite believe in himself. One or two times
23:35
Speaker 1: when he does it is it himself or is it everything? Yeah?
23:39
Speaker 1: I mean himself. What's gone on the A line, the receivers,
23:44
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Something goes wrong each time, and at
23:48
Speaker 1: some point I think that's just eroded things for him.
23:50
Speaker 1: I think it's still there. I think he'll be fine.
23:52
Speaker 1: But right now I just don't feel like you're going
23:54
Speaker 1: to see anything close to his best the rest of
23:56
Speaker 1: the season. I hope I'm wrong. Yes, totally agree. And
23:58
Speaker 1: that leads me to my hot take, which is at
24:00
Speaker 1: about this defense. And I am amazed that this defense
24:03
Speaker 1: is not showing more frustration then they have, which is
24:07
Speaker 1: credit to them, because I get it, your team and
24:09
Speaker 1: you have to do that and blah blah blah blah blah.
24:10
Speaker 1: But I'm on the sideline in the fourth quarter and
24:13
Speaker 1: I've watched now for this game twice. They've gone three
24:16
Speaker 1: and out twice. That six times they've had to get
24:18
Speaker 1: on the bench. They're passing around the OxT mass. They
24:20
Speaker 1: barely have time to get a gate raade. They gotta
24:22
Speaker 1: go right back on the field. So I look at
24:24
Speaker 1: that last touchdown to Brandon Cooks and I think, yeah,
24:26
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a bad play. The defense should
24:28
Speaker 1: have tackled them. But my gosh, can you blame them
24:31
Speaker 1: for having to keep up with this every single week.
24:33
Speaker 1: I get it's their job. I get they have to
24:35
Speaker 1: do it, but man, help them out a little bit there.
24:38
Speaker 1: You know they're getting no help. And and we've talked
24:40
Speaker 1: about this storyline ad nausea However, they could help, you know,
24:43
Speaker 1: show you got the bad penalty on Adam God. But
24:46
Speaker 1: then it's not like the Texan scored in the next play.
24:48
Speaker 1: It took them twelve more plays. That was an eight
24:51
Speaker 1: minute drive. I mean, come on, get them off the
24:53
Speaker 1: field field again. This is the defense that's allowed the
24:56
Speaker 1: opponent to score on their opening drive for six straight weeks.
24:59
Speaker 1: They could do something about that too, and they haven't.
25:02
Speaker 1: They've cost themselves with penalties or miss tackles or whatever
25:05
Speaker 1: it is. So, yes, the defense is played without the
25:08
Speaker 1: benefit of the offense, and we can talk about, you know,
25:10
Speaker 1: how they lose their competence. But the defense is allowed
25:13
Speaker 1: to stop someone on the first drive and they haven't
25:15
Speaker 1: done that. It's nine straight weeks scoring on the first
25:18
Speaker 1: there we go nine straight weeks. Um, Yeah, I think
25:23
Speaker 1: the defense on some level has to be a touch
25:27
Speaker 1: frustrated not showing it. But I think the reason they're
25:29
Speaker 1: not showing it is their leaders, which are you know,
25:33
Speaker 1: smooth Alan Griffin, Griffin, Damian Wilson, you know these guys.
25:39
Speaker 1: They also know, Hey, we've given up first drive touchdowns
25:42
Speaker 1: nine weeks in aur how Hey we have seven turnovers
25:45
Speaker 1: the entire season. They know they're not the eight five Bears.
25:49
Speaker 1: So I think there's a little humility with the defense
25:51
Speaker 1: is saying, Okay, we could be getting better help, but
25:54
Speaker 1: it would be a bad look. And then to be
25:56
Speaker 1: coming off there and helmets when you know again they're good.
26:00
Speaker 1: This is not a great defense. But what this defense
26:03
Speaker 1: is at Slynn's point, I think Urban was right about
26:06
Speaker 1: this when he said it last week a couple of times.
26:08
Speaker 1: The heart and the ability to go back out after
26:11
Speaker 1: sudden chain and continue to fight, that's been darn impressive.
26:16
Speaker 1: It has whatever else you say about this team's yes,
26:19
Speaker 1: because if that was me and I was a defensive captain,
26:22
Speaker 1: I'd be throwing helmets and I'd be doing things. Yeah,
26:24
Speaker 1: but you're petty by nature I am. That's why I'm
26:26
Speaker 1: not a defensive captain. So that's why that was my
26:27
Speaker 1: hot take. I'm amazed, and that is hot takes. When
26:31
Speaker 1: we come back on Jaguars Drive Time, Someone to grow
26:33
Speaker 1: on on the Jaguars Digital Network. Back on Jaguars Drive
26:46
Speaker 1: Time for one quick segments. One to grow on after
26:49
Speaker 1: yesterday's game against the Houston Texans is the Tyson Campbell.
26:52
Speaker 1: Is that who you're freaking no? I mean, I know
26:54
Speaker 1: you are, so I thought someone else that's very nice,
26:57
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell. How could it not be John Is at yours? Well,
27:00
Speaker 1: it was gonna babe, you took it all the time.
27:02
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna go with Trevor. I
27:06
Speaker 1: don't think he played well yesterday, But getting back to
27:08
Speaker 1: what I've been talking about, I still believe in the guy.
27:12
Speaker 1: And I think if if fans would take a breath
27:16
Speaker 1: and look at the three games before the bye that
27:17
Speaker 1: I keep harping on. When things were going right, he
27:20
Speaker 1: was improving and looking the part. When things started going
27:23
Speaker 1: squirrelly everywhere, I don't know that it was it was
27:26
Speaker 1: realistic to think that a twenty two year old kid
27:28
Speaker 1: was going to save it all. First couple of drives yesterday.
27:32
Speaker 1: I'm taking notes just like you are, Brian. You know,
27:34
Speaker 1: get bread at home, um, you know, And I'm thinking,
27:39
Speaker 1: this is what you wanted the kid to look like.
27:41
Speaker 1: He was thrown with confidence, He had energy that can
27:44
Speaker 1: be harnessed and saved and moved forward with I think
27:46
Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay. I'll go with Devon Hamilton's who
27:49
Speaker 1: has not had a good season, but yesterday, was dominant inside,
27:52
Speaker 1: was pushing people around that they're not a good inside
27:55
Speaker 1: running team. Uh, David Johnson just hasn't been the guy
27:57
Speaker 1: they wanted him to be. But he was making plays
28:00
Speaker 1: outside the tackles. So I thought Davon Hamilton's is a
28:03
Speaker 1: guy who you look at and say, um, he's got
28:06
Speaker 1: a future. We'll see how big of a future. But
28:08
Speaker 1: I thought he played well yesterday. We shall see. And
28:11
Speaker 1: that's Jaguars Drive Time on a Monday recap. In a lost,
28:13
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans interim head coach Darryl Bevel meets the
28:16
