Ep. 21: Takeaways From Week 2 Loss vs. Chiefs | Jags A.M. Podcast · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

0:05
Speaker 1: The Jags fall in their home opener against the Chiefs
0:08
Speaker 1: and the offense struggled to get anything going yesterday. Is
0:11
Speaker 1: this a one offers, There's some serious concerns they need to.
0:14
Speaker 2: Address, not necessarily serious, but concerns and they can fix it.
0:17
Speaker 3: Uh both. I think it's a one off.
0:20
Speaker 4: It's only a one off if they can fix these
0:22
Speaker 4: issues with your detail.
0:24
Speaker 1: Ischiees Welcome into Jags am here in Hyundai Studios, presented
0:47
Speaker 1: by Carshield here today. And I don't know if any
0:50
Speaker 1: of us expected exactly what we saw on Sunday. I
0:52
Speaker 1: wouldn't be have been surprised if the Chiefs won the game,
0:55
Speaker 1: but the way that they won and the way both
0:56
Speaker 1: teams played it was a little anemic. We talked about
1:00
Speaker 1: we were going to see a shootout in that home opener,
1:02
Speaker 1: and unfortunately we saw it like a defensive battle and
1:05
Speaker 1: then just just some weird football.
1:06
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:07
Speaker 2: You know, if I had regret for the loss yesterday,
1:10
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be for the fact that they lost to
1:12
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.
1:13
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the Super Bowl champions.
1:14
Speaker 2: It's tough to beat them, and we all knew that
1:16
Speaker 2: it would be that the offense didn't appear ready to
1:19
Speaker 2: play on a day that they took center stage. I mean,
1:23
Speaker 2: the personality of this team is Trevor Lawrence and the offense,
1:27
Speaker 2: and we expect more from them based on what we've seen,
1:31
Speaker 2: and they didn't deliver or they weren't prepared. Hard to say,
1:36
Speaker 2: except that they better get it fixed quick.
1:38
Speaker 4: It felt more to me like not delivering than not preparing.
1:42
Speaker 4: And it's the old thing the NFL. Evan Ingram said
1:47
Speaker 4: it every inch counts. How many plays did they have
1:51
Speaker 4: where the ball was touching Jaguars hands and there were
1:54
Speaker 4: feet around the end zone and it didn't happen.
1:57
Speaker 3: If those go in, we're not quite as concerned.
2:01
Speaker 4: But it was oddly clanky for a team that you
2:04
Speaker 4: expected more out of.
2:05
Speaker 2: Let me clarify, they didn't say that they weren't prepared, right,
2:10
Speaker 2: they didn't prepare. There's something that was off, and I'm
2:13
Speaker 2: going to go into this in my hot take. Preparing
2:16
Speaker 2: is more than just time on the practice field. There's
2:18
Speaker 2: a mental side of this game that you have to
2:20
Speaker 2: be prepared for as well. That was the part that.
2:22
Speaker 1: Looked off to me, and I think we all were
2:24
Speaker 1: their postgame, A lot of what we heard was execution
2:26
Speaker 1: right and not necessarily the game plan wasn't there that
2:28
Speaker 1: they didn't execute. They didn't do what they needed to do.
2:31
Speaker 1: So let's go through some of our big things. Big
2:32
Speaker 1: thing one is field goals. You're not going to beat
2:34
Speaker 1: the Chiefs if you go for field goals, and that's
2:36
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. I didn't find the end zone at
2:39
Speaker 1: all on Sunday against the Chiefs, and that's got to
2:42
Speaker 1: be a concern for this team.
2:45
Speaker 5: A lot of opportunities, you know, is disjointed, as some
2:48
Speaker 5: of the things kind of were throughout the game. It
2:49
Speaker 5: was just a sloppy game, I think, all over the place.
2:51
Speaker 5: But we had our opportunities. We were in the red
2:53
Speaker 5: zone four times and came away with nine points and
2:57
Speaker 5: that's you know, can't do that. You're not going to
2:59
Speaker 5: be good teams when you do that. So we got
3:01
Speaker 5: to be better.
3:03
Speaker 1: John, you just mentioned it. There was at least three
3:05
Speaker 1: or four touchdowns that would have been if the feet
3:08
Speaker 1: were in right, and just the frustration there that comes
3:11
Speaker 1: with that when you see that. Is it just is
3:13
Speaker 1: that the mental aspect that they didn't quite have or is.
3:15
Speaker 4: It just oh, I think it's just being a hair
3:18
Speaker 4: off and having to go against you that. Now, I
3:21
Speaker 4: will say this, in this league, when you bring it
3:25
Speaker 4: down to that, then you haven't done something else right.
3:28
Speaker 4: And you know, I guess I'm thinking the last week
3:30
Speaker 4: when the Zay Jones play was celebrated as an amazing catch,
3:35
Speaker 4: and it was it was really close to being one
3:38
Speaker 4: of those plays we saw yesterday. But you know, you
3:42
Speaker 4: react and you frame it. If it's a score, everybody's happy.
3:44
Speaker 4: If it's not, everybody's an idiot. So I think there
3:47
Speaker 4: is an element of that. You had the Christian Kirk play,
3:49
Speaker 4: which was like one little clip of the of the
3:53
Speaker 4: foot almost a touchdown. If some of those go, we're
3:56
Speaker 4: not talking about this, but Brian, in this league, if
3:59
Speaker 4: they don't go, they don't go, And you had to
4:02
Speaker 4: talk about it.
4:02
Speaker 2: No, and it it's spirals. I mean yesterday you could
4:07
Speaker 2: you can feel the frustration through your television screen or
4:10
Speaker 2: sitting in the stands that they just weren't getting there.
4:14
Speaker 2: And we have seen those plays come to fruition over
4:17
Speaker 2: the course of you know, the end run last year
4:20
Speaker 2: they made all those plays. So when they got to
4:22
Speaker 2: the red zone yesterday, it's like, all right, you know,
4:24
Speaker 2: they've got the ball the seventeen yard line after the
4:26
Speaker 2: muff punt. Well, Trffor's gonna score here because they did
4:28
Speaker 2: last week against the Colts where they scored three touchdowns
4:31
Speaker 2: in three red zone trips.
4:32
Speaker 3: And they did last year.
4:33
Speaker 2: As they made that run, we all had the sense
4:36
Speaker 2: that this offense had taken a step that they were
4:38
Speaker 2: ready now to be that you know that unit, that
4:43
Speaker 2: killer instinct is a word. Right, we got a chance.
4:45
Speaker 2: It's Kansas City. We can't score field goal, and they
4:48
Speaker 2: just couldn't get it done. Now, you lose by inches,
4:51
Speaker 2: you win by inches in this league, and that's where
4:53
Speaker 2: they've got to go back. And John mentioned detail off
4:55
Speaker 2: the top of the show. That's where the detail in
4:57
Speaker 2: the practice field comes in. So that next week when
4:59
Speaker 2: you you're in that situation, you dropped that foot right,
5:02
Speaker 2: you cut your route off half a yard shorter so
5:05
Speaker 2: that you're in a position quarterback.
5:07
Speaker 3: Can get the ball there. Right, It's a game of moments.
5:10
Speaker 4: It talked about it all last week, how Kansas City
5:12
Speaker 4: gets better as the game goes on. The Chiefs had
5:16
Speaker 4: two point blank opportunities touchdown touchdown around the half.
5:20
Speaker 3: YEP.
5:20
Speaker 4: The Jaguars in their moments, kick field goals, Mahomes the MVP,
5:25
Speaker 4: Trevor the young quarterback.
5:27
Speaker 1: Seemed like that was a difference That leads into our
5:29
Speaker 1: big thing too, which is takeaways. The defense played about
5:32
Speaker 1: as good as they can play. They held the Chiefs
5:34
Speaker 1: to seventeen points, They created turnovers, forcing bubbles, interceptions, and
5:39
Speaker 1: that has to be the highlight from yesterday.
5:42
Speaker 6: Defense played well. I mean, defense kept us in this
5:44
Speaker 6: football game, created the takeaway as you mentioned, and as
5:47
Speaker 6: I said, it's just execution. We've got to do better.
5:51
Speaker 1: As much as you can ask for from them. When
5:53
Speaker 1: we went in and talking about the offense, We've been
5:54
Speaker 1: talking about them for months, but the defense has been
5:57
Speaker 1: coming out big in these first two games.
5:58
Speaker 2: Look, if you hold Patrick Holmes to seventeen points, twelve
6:01
Speaker 2: points below their season average last year, and you force
6:05
Speaker 2: three first half turnovers, won the game or there would
6:08
Speaker 2: have been no doubt in anyone's mind. John, The narrative
6:11
Speaker 2: around this defense was hold on, they're going to play
6:14
Speaker 2: with some leads this year and we'll see them be
6:16
Speaker 2: able to rush the pass or create some turnovers. Well,
6:20
Speaker 2: in the first two games, they've rushed the pass or
6:21
Speaker 2: created turnovers without a lead.
6:23
Speaker 3: So how good is this defense? Betty good? I think
6:27
Speaker 3: it is too. I mean, I don't know that it's great.
6:30
Speaker 3: Well it's not the Jets, it's not the Cowboys.
6:32
Speaker 4: But if we don't have that, like just go lock
6:36
Speaker 4: down Chris Jones, they don't have that guy. But I
6:39
Speaker 4: thought they the way you have to rush Mahomes. I
6:43
Speaker 4: thought they did okay with that. He never felt completely comfortable.
6:47
Speaker 4: He made play. As he's a rushmore quarterback, you know
6:50
Speaker 4: he's gonna make plays. I thought the turning point whatever
6:54
Speaker 4: three takeaways second quarter, I think they got three points
6:56
Speaker 4: off of Yeah, and then you get the takeaway and
7:00
Speaker 4: the huge momentum shift leading three to nothing, Kelsey and
7:04
Speaker 4: the fun will give you the ball in the thirty seven,
7:06
Speaker 4: you give it right back. Doug didn't really talk about
7:10
Speaker 4: that specifically, but you talk about a moment where you
7:13
Speaker 4: had a chance to and then.
7:14
Speaker 3: It look in this league, could you do that? Yeah?
7:19
Speaker 2: In this league, if you get to the red zone
7:20
Speaker 2: and you come away with no points, you're losing, right,
7:22
Speaker 2: And they did that twice yesterday.
7:23
Speaker 1: It was frustrating. For sure. Our final big thing is
7:26
Speaker 1: going to be don't panic. We touched about it touched
7:28
Speaker 1: on it off the top of the show. There's nothing
7:30
Speaker 1: embarrassing about losing to the Chiefs. Certainly the way they
7:33
Speaker 1: lost not great, but this is still a very good
7:34
Speaker 1: football team. Doug Peterson thinks, so as well.
7:38
Speaker 4: There's guys who are kicked off in there.
7:40
Speaker 6: You know they're mad and they know it, and but
7:45
Speaker 6: it's so early in this season that one game is
7:47
Speaker 6: not going to define who we are and it's not
7:50
Speaker 6: going to define our season, right.
7:51
Speaker 1: I think it's a little extra frustrating because you're like,
7:53
Speaker 1: it was right there, like the Chiefs weren't playing great,
7:56
Speaker 1: this is the best roster they've had here in a minute,
7:58
Speaker 1: and then it just couldn't get it together. Well.
8:00
Speaker 2: So I asked that question of him in the news
8:02
Speaker 2: conferencely because that's where the good coaches and you are
8:06
Speaker 2: often fond of talking about how this league is always
8:08
Speaker 2: about coaching. This is where this is where the good
8:12
Speaker 2: coaches or the great coaches take the moment and they
8:16
Speaker 2: use it to redefine the week. And so I wanted
8:19
Speaker 2: to hear from Doug, how are you gonna do this?
8:22
Speaker 2: And the first thought was the best thought was I'm
8:24
Speaker 2: gonna take their anger and I'm going to refine it
8:27
Speaker 2: into focus, and I thought that his answer was outstanding.
8:31
Speaker 2: I have very little worry that they'll be ready to
8:34
Speaker 2: play this week based on Doug's answer in that postgame.
8:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you know, I hate to use the cliches
8:40
Speaker 4: because the fans hear from coaches they don't want from us.
8:43
Speaker 3: It is.
8:44
Speaker 4: It is a long season. There are always going to
8:46
Speaker 4: be ups and downs. If there was a positive. Some
8:51
Speaker 4: fans felt differently. But last year when they played the Chiefs,
8:58
Speaker 4: I never.
8:58
Speaker 3: Really felt like they run even footing. You felt like if.
9:03
Speaker 4: The Chiefs is made, you know that it was gonna
9:05
Speaker 4: take a herculean effort from the Jaguars to win. Yesterday,
9:09
Speaker 4: I thought the Jaguars were just as good and they
9:11
Speaker 4: just gave it away, which you know, does that matter
9:14
Speaker 4: on the scoreboard?
9:15
Speaker 3: No, does it matter of where if.
9:19
Speaker 4: I don't think there's far away from being that team
9:23
Speaker 4: as I felt like they were at the end of
9:24
Speaker 4: the last season. It's just disappointing to them that they
9:27
Speaker 4: didn't show it.
9:28
Speaker 2: People are gonna they're gonna turn their eyebrows up at this,
9:31
Speaker 2: but I don't think their roster is that much better.
9:33
Speaker 2: I mean, they have three players that you have to
9:36
Speaker 2: account for, Chris Jones, Travis Kelsey, and Patrick Mahomes. But
9:39
Speaker 2: other than that, it's a bunch of good football players
9:42
Speaker 2: who take advantage of the opportunities that those three great
9:45
Speaker 2: football players give them. What the Jaguars need to be
9:48
Speaker 2: able to do is take advantage of more opportunities that
9:51
Speaker 2: their team gets, and they didn't yesterday. But John's right,
9:55
Speaker 2: the Jaguars were closer to the Chiefs than they have
9:57
Speaker 2: been at any point since Patrick Mahomes has been there.
10:00
Speaker 1: And certainly it might be more frustrating immediately, but if
10:03
Speaker 1: you know that, if you execute your game plan, you
10:05
Speaker 1: can compete, it's not like you're just getting completely out
10:07
Speaker 1: worked out there. They have the talent and they have
10:08
Speaker 1: the ability.
10:09
Speaker 2: Well, everyone's mad this morning cause they saw the opportunities
10:11
Speaker 2: that were there. Absolutely not because they couldn't line up
10:14
Speaker 2: and play.
10:14
Speaker 1: I know, alright, coming up, we're gonna go over some
10:16
Speaker 1: of the game changing moments if you will save them
10:19
Speaker 1: highlights a little bit, but also some of the low
10:21
Speaker 1: lights on what they need to work on coming up
10:23
Speaker 1: after the bank move, the freight move the freight Magellan
10:29
Speaker 1: Transport voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville. You can
10:32
Speaker 1: apply online at www dot Magellanlogistics dot com.
10:38
Speaker 5: We gotta be better. We gotta help them. I mean,
10:40
Speaker 5: they were on the field a lot today. We had
10:41
Speaker 5: a lot of bad possessions where we put 'em, they'd
10:43
Speaker 5: get a turnover, we' put 'em right back on the field,
10:45
Speaker 5: and really just their back was against the wall the
10:47
Speaker 5: whole day. And you know, they played great, you know,
10:50
Speaker 5: and uh, we gotta play better.
10:51
Speaker 3: We gotta help 'em. You know, those just just bad
10:53
Speaker 3: by us.
10:55
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jagsam. That's about as frustrated as a
10:58
Speaker 1: Trevor as Trevor gets postgame yesterday, which is good because
11:01
Speaker 1: he's even keeled. But you can tell there was just
11:04
Speaker 1: just halfway through that game they were so mad at themselves.
11:07
Speaker 2: He knows, they missed an opportunity to come out and
11:09
Speaker 2: show who they were. They have a lot of confidence
11:11
Speaker 2: in themselves on the offensive side of the ball. And yesterday,
11:14
Speaker 2: and I'll go into this more in my hot take,
11:16
Speaker 2: yesterday it was, you know, and they were just miss
11:19
Speaker 2: firing like an engine with the spark plugs that need
11:21
Speaker 2: to be replaced.
11:22
Speaker 3: It just didn't happen.
11:24
Speaker 1: Let's go over some of the highlights from yesterday, or
11:26
Speaker 1: at least defining moments for us. Off the gate, we thought,
11:31
Speaker 1: you know, they're creating turnovers, forcing turnovers. That muffed punt
11:34
Speaker 1: was huge for them to come up. We've been, you know,
11:36
Speaker 1: giving special teams credit. It was agnew in the first game.
11:39
Speaker 1: But here they're able to, you know, capitalize on the
11:41
Speaker 1: home field advantage. I think he lost it in the
11:43
Speaker 1: sun there, and then it was at the seventeen yard line.
11:46
Speaker 1: They get the ball at and just not be able
11:47
Speaker 1: to convert after that was so frustrated.
11:49
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about special teams, look at Tim Jones,
11:51
Speaker 2: who we had talked about being an exceptional special teams
11:54
Speaker 2: player right place, right time. John, At that moment, I thought,
11:57
Speaker 2: the ball bounces is your way against Kansas City very
12:00
Speaker 2: few times.
12:01
Speaker 3: You better take advantage of it.
12:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, actually this team has had the ball bounce
12:06
Speaker 4: its way against Kansas City a lot. Last year they
12:08
Speaker 4: had I think three first half turnovers. Didn't take advantage
12:11
Speaker 4: of them. When they didn't touch down this, you felt
12:18
Speaker 4: like opportunity, you know, it's the same thing I almost
12:21
Speaker 4: tired of saying it already. Opportunity missed here for big momentum.
12:25
Speaker 4: You know, you had a chance to stick a knife
12:27
Speaker 4: in them. You sort of just hit him.
12:28
Speaker 1: Over the head with a little pat took some of
12:29
Speaker 1: the window of the stadium too, because yeah, everybody's jacked
12:32
Speaker 1: up at that point, and it was just kind of
12:34
Speaker 1: like so after that, we saw some force turnovers. We
12:38
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the defense. Those were certainly highlights yesterday,
12:41
Speaker 1: and one of them was the force fumble and just
12:44
Speaker 1: what they were able to do and in terms of
12:47
Speaker 1: giving extra chances to the offense, as we talked about,
12:49
Speaker 1: that's what we wanted to see from the defense, and
12:51
Speaker 1: we did see that, but then it wasn't converted into points.
12:53
Speaker 3: Right. You settle for the field goal, and you just
12:56
Speaker 3: you feel like, all right, here we go.
12:58
Speaker 2: What a play by Darius Williams here to get there
13:01
Speaker 2: and knock the ball out and Watson's going to the
13:04
Speaker 2: ground yep, and he reaches in and pulls that.
13:06
Speaker 3: That's not accidental, that's not lucky, that was a move.
13:09
Speaker 2: Watch him just there you go, right, I mean, that's
13:12
Speaker 2: what a great play. And John, I mean, even though
13:14
Speaker 2: you're only up three nothing at this point, you're like.
13:16
Speaker 3: All right, here we go. Oh you're at thirty seven.
13:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this is it's not put them away time,
13:22
Speaker 4: because you don't put the Chiefs away. But what it
13:25
Speaker 4: was is it was a chance to all of a
13:27
Speaker 4: sudden tilt the game in a way that the Chiefs
13:30
Speaker 4: had the game.
13:31
Speaker 3: Tilted twice last year.
13:32
Speaker 4: Where you're playing uphill the whole game. Now you get
13:35
Speaker 4: a little a bit of a chance to rush you
13:37
Speaker 4: maybe get that one more turnover that does put them away.
13:41
Speaker 4: When you miss that and you're playing on even footing,
13:44
Speaker 4: play calls are different. Energy is different. Two major missed opportunities.
13:50
Speaker 4: You get two turnover or three turns in the second quarter,
13:53
Speaker 4: two are in there. It gives you the ball in
13:57
Speaker 4: their territory. The Cisco felt more like a punt, not
14:00
Speaker 4: knocking it, but it didn't give you a huge momentum.
14:03
Speaker 4: The two inside the fifty a stat for you guys,
14:05
Speaker 4: they're not use a big stat guy. Five trips inside
14:08
Speaker 4: the fifty and the first half six points. Last year,
14:11
Speaker 4: five trips inside the fifteen the first half in KC
14:14
Speaker 4: seven points.
14:15
Speaker 3: Miss opportunities.
14:16
Speaker 1: I think one of the things here this is Cisco's
14:17
Speaker 1: interception on that play, not only that. Josh Allen is
14:20
Speaker 1: all up in Mahomes girl on that throw and we
14:22
Speaker 1: saw him flying all over the field. I know he
14:24
Speaker 1: was out for a little bit with a shoulder in
14:25
Speaker 1: the second half there, but.
14:27
Speaker 2: Well, this play was so big, Kuy, because you just
14:30
Speaker 2: you were waiting for Patrick Mahomes to make a play
14:32
Speaker 2: down the field, right, and he was going after Watson.
14:34
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the only guy he had a
14:36
Speaker 2: lot of confidence in and you felt like, all right,
14:38
Speaker 2: we got you again. Maybe we're up to this. Maybe
14:41
Speaker 2: the defense today is up to the challenge.
14:43
Speaker 3: And they were.
14:44
Speaker 2: You weren't gonna stop them every time, right the last
14:47
Speaker 2: of the first, in the in the first of the second,
14:50
Speaker 2: you didn't get them. But here it just felt like,
14:53
Speaker 2: hey man, we got answers. Even though we haven't got
14:55
Speaker 2: points yet, we've got answers. We're gonna keep coming.
14:57
Speaker 1: You have to imagine the defense was talking this week
14:59
Speaker 1: about you're gonna win the game if you can take
15:01
Speaker 1: the ball out of Patrick Mahomes's hands, and that's what
15:03
Speaker 1: they did. They're creating these turnovers, taking possessions away, and
15:05
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it's three and out. A
15:07
Speaker 1: just quick outs for the offense and they're getting the
15:09
Speaker 1: ball right back. So they eventually got on the board,
15:12
Speaker 1: a lot of field goals, missed opportunities, and saw scoreless
15:15
Speaker 1: first quarter. But then Mahomes to Skymore was the first
15:18
Speaker 1: touchdown we saw in the game, and that kind of
15:21
Speaker 1: you know, they were in and after that as well,
15:23
Speaker 1: and I want to say it completely took them out
15:25
Speaker 1: of it. But anytime the Chiefs get going, you're always
15:27
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, is that going to be the
15:29
Speaker 1: first of many things that come?
15:31
Speaker 3: It is, But.
15:33
Speaker 4: The Jaguars, if they're gonna win these kind of games, right,
15:37
Speaker 4: you got to score twenty seven.
15:38
Speaker 1: Oh, I get it.
15:39
Speaker 3: And so I thought they did a great job.
15:42
Speaker 4: After the first touchdown, they went down and got three,
15:47
Speaker 4: which kept them in the game even when the Chiefs
15:51
Speaker 4: had their little spurt. So again they hadn't played perfectly,
15:54
Speaker 4: but they had that opportunity only down. It was never
15:57
Speaker 4: a two score games, no, you just they never took. Yeah,
16:02
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say opportunities again, and you couldn't come try
16:04
Speaker 4: not to say it the rest of the show what
16:07
Speaker 4: it is today.
16:09
Speaker 1: Certainly, Brian, I know you were talking about just kind
16:11
Speaker 1: of the indemic offense as a whole, but Kansas City
16:13
Speaker 1: is saying the same thing. Right, Like both of these teams,
16:16
Speaker 1: if this was a thirty one to twenty eight game,
16:17
Speaker 1: yes we'd be frustrated, but that's understandable. But that will
16:21
Speaker 1: be what we expected. For them to come out and
16:22
Speaker 1: lay both of them kind of lay an egg on
16:24
Speaker 1: offense is weird?
16:25
Speaker 3: Okay?
16:26
Speaker 2: A couple things stood out, and so I went and
16:27
Speaker 2: found some of my buddies in the Kansas City media
16:29
Speaker 2: and they're talking about two things. One how well their
16:32
Speaker 2: defense played. And we know Steve Spednel is an excellent
16:35
Speaker 2: coach and they were well schooled. They knew what to expect,
16:39
Speaker 2: so credit to them and workhorse talking about the job
16:41
Speaker 2: that Mike called well and his staff did with the
16:43
Speaker 2: Jags defense. We're talking about an offense. They couldn't score
16:47
Speaker 2: nine points? What's the matter? And in Kansas City they're
16:50
Speaker 2: going seventeen points. We only got seventeen points. Are the
16:53
Speaker 2: Jaguars that good or is it us?
16:55
Speaker 1: So?
16:56
Speaker 2: In week two as you're trying to figure things out,
16:59
Speaker 2: and they are too right. He's clearly not Travis Kelcey
17:01
Speaker 2: right now, and Juwan Taylor is not a twenty million
17:04
Speaker 2: dollar tackle. They've got questions, they're one in one. The
17:08
Speaker 2: Jaguars are one in one. Doug Peterson said yesterday, don't panic.
17:13
Speaker 2: We're still in a good spot. We're one and one.
17:15
Speaker 2: We lost to the Super Bowl champs. We know we
17:17
Speaker 2: can play better. The people in Kansas City are saying
17:19
Speaker 2: we're one and one. We turned it over three times.
17:21
Speaker 2: He only scored seventeen points. It doesn't look what Kelsey's himself.
17:24
Speaker 2: But we got Patrick Mahomes.
17:26
Speaker 3: We can get better.
17:26
Speaker 4: I thought Doug's presser showed both sides, meaning really frustrated
17:33
Speaker 4: with the short term. I don't want to say furious,
17:36
Speaker 4: but he was a little more clipped in his answers
17:39
Speaker 4: than usual. And then when the media is sort of
17:43
Speaker 4: fed off of that and was asking some sky is
17:45
Speaker 4: falling questions, he sort of shook out.
17:48
Speaker 3: Of it and was like, yeah, Okay, I'm frustrated, but
17:50
Speaker 3: it's week two. Yeah.
17:51
Speaker 4: So again, if there's been one thing in eighteen months
17:56
Speaker 4: being around Doug that you notice, it's the stunningly good
18:01
Speaker 4: perception and perspective that he has on.
18:06
Speaker 3: Where they're at and what this team needs.
18:07
Speaker 2: Okay, hold that thought, because my hot take is about
18:11
Speaker 2: Doug at a press conference and the perception so Digital.
18:15
Speaker 3: Stay with that, because I think we love a team.
18:17
Speaker 1: It is a tease, all right, Everybody say with us.
18:19
Speaker 1: We've got hot takes coming up after the break, and
18:21
Speaker 1: we'll look ahead a little bit. Two week three, sign

Speaker 1: workers and entire Electric team. Thank you to that. Right,
19:01
Speaker 1: we're back in it now. We're gonna do hot takes today. So, Brian,
19:03
Speaker 1: you had a little look ahead at what your hot
19:05
Speaker 1: take was, But what's your hot take?
19:06
Speaker 3: Fasi?
19:07
Speaker 2: Well, so I said wound too tight because I couldn't
19:09
Speaker 2: I couldn't put another phrase to it.
19:13
Speaker 3: But here's what I know.
19:14
Speaker 2: You mentioned Doug and being around him for eighteen months
19:16
Speaker 2: and how you kind of know what to expect from
19:18
Speaker 2: him when he comes into a news conference. He's an affable,
19:21
Speaker 2: energetic guy. Last Wednesday he was not. Last Wednesday he
19:24
Speaker 2: walked in, he was noticeably lower energy, and noticeably to
19:30
Speaker 2: me at least, he just kind of undersold it, soft spoken.
19:34
Speaker 2: I thought, that's it's odd, something's often. It's stuck with
19:37
Speaker 2: me all week, and then yesterday I'm watching Trevor in
19:40
Speaker 2: terms missing throws that he normally makes, and the television
19:43
Speaker 2: camera was showing a tight shot on him and he
19:45
Speaker 2: had this sort of weird look on his face, and
19:47
Speaker 2: it just there was something off about this team.
19:49
Speaker 3: I don't know whether they were wound too tight.
19:51
Speaker 2: I don't know whether the pressure or the stage or
19:55
Speaker 2: their I don't know what it was, but this team
19:57
Speaker 2: was entirely off on the offensive side of the ball.
20:01
Speaker 2: And John we talked last week about the coach and
20:03
Speaker 2: the quarterback, right, I mean, Paul Brown and Autograham all
20:05
Speaker 2: the way through Brady and Belichick, and they just both
20:09
Speaker 2: felt off to me. And I don't know why, and
20:12
Speaker 2: it's very nebulous. I can't pin it down and so
20:16
Speaker 2: people can disagree with it, but go back and watch
20:18
Speaker 2: his news conference from last Wednesday and you'll see that
20:20
Speaker 2: he wasn't himself and this team has to get back
20:24
Speaker 2: to being themselves this week. Doug has to come into
20:27
Speaker 2: his press conference and be that energetic guy, right because
20:30
Speaker 2: the team feeds off of that stuff. And I'm not
20:32
Speaker 2: blaming Doug, but you get what I mean. Something just
20:35
Speaker 2: wasn't right. They got to get back to themselves.
20:37
Speaker 1: Doug talked about that too this week, which was interesting
20:39
Speaker 1: because he talked about one of the things he learned
20:40
Speaker 1: from Andy Reid is that he needs to be himself.
20:42
Speaker 1: He needs to go out and coach and be himself,
20:44
Speaker 1: not try to be anybody else. So interesting that you
20:46
Speaker 1: point that out, that Doug really wasn't acting like what
20:48
Speaker 1: we know to be his normal.
20:49
Speaker 3: Self, not in the limited time we've been with him.
20:51
Speaker 1: So interesting, John, what's your take this week?
20:55
Speaker 4: It again plays off some and Doug said last week
20:58
Speaker 4: and it's many about moments, and there was there was
21:02
Speaker 4: a moment last week where he talked about how good
21:04
Speaker 4: the chiefs are in the big situations and it was
21:07
Speaker 4: going to come down to not who won the fourth quarter,
21:12
Speaker 4: but big fourth quarter moments. So you know, this was
21:16
Speaker 4: about the team that blinked, and the Jaguars blink. They
21:19
Speaker 4: had their moments in the in the second half, even
21:23
Speaker 4: down sick, I mean, even down eight, you drive, you're
21:27
Speaker 4: on your first and goal in the one. You know,
21:31
Speaker 4: I honestly on that play, the first and goal from
21:35
Speaker 4: the one with Etn. I don't know if Trevor made
21:37
Speaker 4: that decision himself. It seemed maybe from looking up that
21:42
Speaker 4: he pulled the ball out of Etn's gut.
21:44
Speaker 3: I don't know that, but it's what struck me.
21:47
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a play call or what,
21:50
Speaker 4: but those moments where it just didn't happen, huge, huge,
21:54
Speaker 4: big play moments. Even at the end, you're eight points,
21:58
Speaker 4: you have a chance to get back in and you're
22:01
Speaker 4: in the red zone. Doesn't quite when to Ridley eight times,
22:06
Speaker 4: two targets, just those moments, and I guess it's not surprising, Brian.
22:16
Speaker 4: You know the Chiefs, you don't become the five time
22:20
Speaker 4: AFC Championship game participate at home unless you're great at
22:24
Speaker 4: those moments. And the Jaguars are still trying to be
22:27
Speaker 4: that team that's better than the Chiefs in those moments.
22:29
Speaker 3: They kind of this kind of feeds back to where
22:31
Speaker 3: I was.
22:31
Speaker 2: I think that this team, to some degree was what
22:36
Speaker 2: they were trying to win those moments, and they knew
22:39
Speaker 2: what was at stake, right, the chance to get ahead
22:41
Speaker 2: of the Chiefs for home field advantage in the playoffs
22:44
Speaker 2: in Week two, and they just didn't make the.
22:47
Speaker 3: Right decisions in the right moments. It's just you're right, John,
22:50
Speaker 3: that's this is a team that's got to dial it in.
22:52
Speaker 3: But here's what I would say. It's Monday morning.
22:56
Speaker 4: So every after a loss, so everything seems like you're
23:00
Speaker 4: just stood it. If your task right now as a
23:05
Speaker 4: franchise is that the last thing you've got to get
23:09
Speaker 4: past is beating the best team in football for five
23:12
Speaker 4: years and a team that's great at these moments, right,
23:14
Speaker 4: if that's your last hurdle, you're in good shape. I mean,
23:18
Speaker 4: there's a lot of teams that want to get there, right,
23:21
Speaker 4: So it's not necessarily that everything's terrible.
23:24
Speaker 3: It's just that these are the moments that we're talking
23:26
Speaker 3: about this morning.
23:26
Speaker 2: Sure, hey, real quick, the moment now in front of
23:28
Speaker 2: them is a chance to go to and oh in
23:30
Speaker 2: the AFC South and last year they were not up
23:33
Speaker 2: to the moment of the Texans. The Texans were not
23:35
Speaker 2: a good team last year and they weren't up to
23:37
Speaker 2: that moment, a feeling they will be this week two
23:39
Speaker 2: and oh in the division headed to London, really an
23:42
Speaker 2: important moment, probably more important than last Sunday, because the
23:45
Speaker 2: division is the way to the playoffs.
23:48
Speaker 1: And that's where my hot take comes in because it's
23:49
Speaker 1: not a gimme on Sunday, but it is very, very
23:52
Speaker 1: important and I think a lot of turning the page
23:54
Speaker 1: will be doug using that frustration, as we mentioned, getting
23:57
Speaker 1: them to focus on this game because it can become
23:59
Speaker 1: a trap game. How many teams have we seen get
24:01
Speaker 1: up really big for one quote big game, and then
24:04
Speaker 1: the next week against a so called lesser opponent they
24:06
Speaker 1: don't come through. So this will be a big game
24:08
Speaker 1: for them in terms of, yes, solidifying themselves in the
24:10
Speaker 1: AFC South, but also getting some confidence back and getting
24:13
Speaker 1: this team back to where we want to be in
24:15
Speaker 1: the season. One loss is not a big deal. One
24:16
Speaker 1: loss so the Chiefs is not a big deal, but
24:18
Speaker 1: playing well consistently is going to be what this team
24:21
Speaker 1: needs to do, specifically on offense, yes, we're happy the
24:23
Speaker 1: defense is playing well, but if you are going to
24:24
Speaker 1: be successful make a playoff run, it's going to be
24:27
Speaker 1: the offense that gets them there. So they really need
24:28
Speaker 1: to get back on track against Houston. I know they've
24:30
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a bugaboo against them at
24:32
Speaker 1: certain points, right I guess.
24:34
Speaker 2: Hey, Look, since the Texans came in, they have beaten
24:36
Speaker 2: the Jaguars more than the Jaguars have beaten them. There
24:38
Speaker 2: have been some great players Andre Johnson, JJ Watt through
24:43
Speaker 2: the years, but the Jaguars have never had a good.
24:47
Speaker 3: Answer for the Texans.
24:48
Speaker 2: And they've got a better roster and they're ready to
24:51
Speaker 2: now flip the script and start taking over the Texans.
24:55
Speaker 3: It starts on Sunday.
24:56
Speaker 4: Well, the bugaboo is it was particularly bad for about
24:59
Speaker 4: four FI season before last season, but that hadn't nothing
25:02
Speaker 4: new with the Texans.
25:03
Speaker 3: The Jaguars weren't beating anybody. Well that's true, but that
25:05
Speaker 3: Jshaun Watson. They had players that made the Jaguars look bad.
25:09
Speaker 1: All right, stay with us. We'll have a little bit
25:11
Speaker 1: more about what we got coming up this week. Be
25:12
Speaker 1: see you after the break. DAGs fans. If you want

Speaker 1: customized Jaguars furniture for your home. You can check out

Speaker 1: zipchare dot com to browse all customizable options. Zipchair is
25:26
Speaker 1: furniture for fans.
25:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely really really frustrating when you leave that
25:34
Speaker 5: much out there, especially being in the red zone. Like
25:36
Speaker 5: I said, four times and no points, and you just
25:39
Speaker 5: think back to all those plays. If you score one
25:40
Speaker 5: of those possessions, games completely different. You know, if we
25:43
Speaker 5: score on that one, we got the on the one
25:45
Speaker 5: yard line, score on that possession, get the two point
25:47
Speaker 5: of versions a tire game.
25:49
Speaker 1: All right, we're moving on. Is this one of those days, John,
25:51
Speaker 1: where you go, you watch the film today and then
25:54
Speaker 1: on Tuesday moving forward, it's just we're onto the Texans
25:57
Speaker 1: at that point.
25:57
Speaker 4: Well, by its nature, every week in the NFL has
26:01
Speaker 4: to be that. If it's not, you're in trouble because
26:03
Speaker 4: then you're thinking about the wrong things. But Evan Ingram
26:07
Speaker 4: said after the game, yeshit. Somebody said, was this one
26:10
Speaker 4: where you burned the tape or you're.
26:11
Speaker 3: Study it now? You study it and figure out what happened.
26:15
Speaker 4: And I think what they'll see is Christian Kirk I
26:18
Speaker 4: think was talking about it. Big plays, more intensity, more
26:22
Speaker 4: focused than however you define that, I think they'll see
26:27
Speaker 4: it's like it's not talent, it's just they didn't make
26:31
Speaker 4: plays in these big spots and they're a team that's
26:35
Speaker 4: supposed to do that.
26:36
Speaker 2: This is a week where you double down on doing
26:39
Speaker 2: what you do. You don't do anything different, You don't
26:41
Speaker 2: try to change things up. You just try to do
26:44
Speaker 2: what you do. Because Doug, if he's done anything in
26:47
Speaker 2: the last eighteen months, is establish a framework for this
26:50
Speaker 2: team to work well within. Even when they were losing
26:52
Speaker 2: last year, all those games in a row where they
26:54
Speaker 2: lost in the final two minutes, they kept doing the
26:57
Speaker 2: same thing. Doug kept preaching do thus same thing, and
27:01
Speaker 2: then eventually they broke out of that. So nothing crazy,
27:04
Speaker 2: nothing different this week, just dial it in now. Doug
27:06
Speaker 2: did have one interesting thing to say to Bucky Brooks
27:08
Speaker 2: in the postgame radio. He said, maybe we're putting too
27:12
Speaker 2: much in Maybe we have too much faith in ourselves
27:14
Speaker 2: at this point, and our game plan is a little
27:16
Speaker 2: too heavy and we need to streamline it and come back.
27:20
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to take a look at that. So
27:22
Speaker 2: there are some things that the coaching staff will do
27:24
Speaker 2: in order to get the team in a position on
27:27
Speaker 2: the practice field on Wednesday to be able to be
27:29
Speaker 2: their best.
27:30
Speaker 1: Certainly an opportunity to turn the page that game on
27:33
Speaker 1: week three is presented by Renewal Y Anderson a better
27:36
Speaker 1: way to a better window that's going to be here
27:38
Speaker 1: in week three, So you can check out the team
27:40
Speaker 1: against the Texans for that game. Tickets still available and
27:43
Speaker 1: we'll preview that matchup later on in this week and
27:45
Speaker 1: we'll be back with you on jag xam on Wednesday,
