[SPEAKER_00]: Look good while doing it.
1:17
[SPEAKER_00]: My Orlando Magic, you see the hat I'm wearing right now.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Living proof.
1:22
[SPEAKER_00]: that you can pick yourself up off the mad a little bit.
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars have lost three of four games.
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: They almost lost to the Raiders.
1:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are a better team than they're record indicates?
1:36
[SPEAKER_00]: The magic that I started one and four this year.
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And basketball is different.
1:40
[SPEAKER_00]: You play so much more, right?
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But the magic of one, five of their last seven games.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Can the Jaguars do this in the past, right?
1:50
[SPEAKER_00]: 2022.
1:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Ring a bell, very ironic that the jag wars are taking on the chargers, the team that they had the miraculous comeback win against in 2022, the week after falling to the Texans and a miraculous comeback effort.
2:14
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're on the other side of it, jag wars this week, chargers in 2022.
2:20
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the worst collapse in franchise history, right?
2:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But they are currently in the wildcard.
2:26
[SPEAKER_00]: They're currently the seven seed.
2:27
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jack Wars are.
2:28
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about things they need to find away, right?
2:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Can Walker Little Survive?
2:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Can Walker Little Survive?
2:39
[SPEAKER_00]: What a question that is.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Walker Little.
2:43
[SPEAKER_00]: As of today, November 13th, nine games in.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: has allowed 36 pressures, 8 sacks has had 6 penalties, past pro efficiency of 94%.
2:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's wild because he still has had some decent moments, against the Texans not really, but like in a lot of these games he has had decent moments.
3:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And you think 94% that's not bad, but tackles are expected to win almost every time.
3:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And not win, but not lose so badly that the quarterback gets pressured or smoked in the backfield or that the running back gets smoked in the backfield.
3:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly what happened for Walker Little against the Texans.
3:38
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what happened for Walker Little against the Seahawks.
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: The Texans the first time around.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: the Bengals these have been horrific performances by Walker little outside of that I mean he's been okay had a really good stretch against San Francisco and Kansas City but it hasn't been good enough and like you look at every every offensive lineman that's playing in the NFL right now there is not a single offensive lineman
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: that has more pressures allowed or sacks allowed than walk a little.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: There's other guys that have played ten games.
4:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really remarkable how poor he has played in some of these games.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: can he figure out how to survive, can he figure out how to play more fundamentally sound?
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Walker Little is a giant human even as compared to many offensive tackles in this league.
4:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He is a good athlete compared to most offensive tackles in this league.
4:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's playing confident fundamentally sound technical football.
4:54
[SPEAKER_00]: If he can figure out how to do that on a more consistent basis, he can play in this, like, we've seen him play at a much higher level in this league.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you've ever seen him play like at a pro bowl or plus starter level, but I think you've seen him play at a middle of the road starter level.
5:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Can he figure out how to get back there?
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Can the Jaguar's help him get back there?
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Because there's no Tony Bicelli walking through that door.
5:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the answer has to come from within the building right now.
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And who's behind him?
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not putting Tuma a dog out there.
5:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Why up my limbs not ready, according to the Jaguars, and I don't even know if they would feel comfortable putting him at tackle.
5:36
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what he played in college, but they drafted it in a be a guard.
5:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He's worked more at guard for them.
5:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He's missed a ton of time.
5:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Who else are you putting out there?
5:50
[SPEAKER_00]: But my carry out there, if you want, I mean, you could try that.
5:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He's done it.
5:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He's played left tackle, not for the Jack Wars, but he's done it.
5:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been battle in injuries at times.
6:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's got to be walker little for the rest of the year.
6:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and you, if it continues to pile on and you have like weeks and weeks and weeks in a row where he's just playing absolutely horrible, maybe you do try to get somebody else out there.
6:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But to me, he's got to get it together.
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Got to.
6:30
[SPEAKER_00]: That was, if you want to blame a singular player on the loss against the Texans, to me it was Walker Little, because Walker Little's mistakes on offense, especially in the 29, you know, after the Jaguar-up 29 to 10, that stretch of offense was negatively impacted every single drive by Walker Little's inability to block the Neon Hunter, whether that
7:02
[SPEAKER_00]: defense getting gasped.
7:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you overcome injuries?
7:06
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a big part of this thing too.
7:08
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jack Wars are a heavily injured football team.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like they have been a heavily injured football team every year for the last.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Three, 2022 was pretty remarkable how not injured they were for a lot of other roster, but did not participate players on Wednesday.
7:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Anton Harrison, knee ankle, gotta have Anton.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Got to have Anton, hopefully he can get right.
7:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan Lewis, neck, did not participate.
7:41
[SPEAKER_00]: You want Jordan Lewis?
7:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely do, but I've talked about it.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Joary and Jones is fine, fine, fine to have on the field identical.
7:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So Hunter Long, hip slash knee, you need him out there if you cannot have Britain strange out there.
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Britain strange practice window open.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He did practice limited on Wednesday.
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Parker Washington did not participate in practice.
8:04
[SPEAKER_00]: You need Parker.
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You need him.
8:06
[SPEAKER_00]: His impact cannot be denied both as a wide receiver and special teamer.
8:10
[SPEAKER_00]: You need him.
8:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Got a lot of other limited guys.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Ezra Cleveland, Dennis Gardett, Robert Hainesy, Jack Kaiser,
8:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Patrick McCarry, why am I a lumb, Greg Newsome, Brian Thomas Jr. Obviously Travis Hunter, out for the year, Eric Murray, out for at least four games.
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I might be like two games left now, but don't know if he's actually going to be back when he's eligible to be back, right?
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
8:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you overcome these injuries?
8:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you stop beating yourself?
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you control the controllables?
8:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what Liam Cohen always calls it.
8:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you control the controllables?
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, the gyroars are not doing that.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They're beating themselves on penalties too often.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: On mis-designments mentally, on not being technically sound, not being fundamentally sound.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Liam Cohen said this week they're going back to the fundamentals.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what he knows to do after a really bad game.
9:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Will it?
9:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
9:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And then can they improve their past defense?
9:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Notice I did not say past rush, I did not say coverage.
9:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I said past defense, past rush and coverage work together.
9:25
[SPEAKER_00]: In my opinion, it's a lot more on the coverage and the way they're being deployed and the execution of that deployment at corner and safety than it is on the past rush because I don't think the past rush is getting any time to get home, but whether or not you think it's the past rush or you think it's the coverage or you think it's the scheme, it has to be better.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: No matter what you think it is.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a fact that I think everyone can agree on.
9:48
[SPEAKER_00]: The past defense has to be better.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you improve that?
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they can.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if they play more fundamentally sound on the outside, they get up a little bit closer to the line of scrimmage.
10:00
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't play prevent defense.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: that the corners can play better, that that can help the past rush get home.
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Can the safety's really be all that good with Dewey and Antonio Johnson being the guys?
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, a lot of people are asking for a ray on lane.
10:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he's ready for that.
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if they thought he was ready for that, they would try it.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So, can you improve in those areas?
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's the big question for me.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: If so, I do think you're a playoff team.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: because you look at the playoff picture right now, and the Jaguars are currently the seven seed in the F.C.
10:40
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at the teams in the wild card race right now.
10:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now Pittsburgh is, so, okay, the division leaders, Colts eight and two Broncos eight and two Patriots eight and two, any of them to not make be the division winners, takes a epic collapse down the stretch.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It is possible.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: New England is a young team with a young quarterback, Denver, great defense, well coached offense.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll leave it at that.
11:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Colts, super talented team, Daniel Jones is their quarterback, right?
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Steelers are five and four at the top of their division.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: The ravens are right behind them at four and five.
11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, the AFC North is absolutely wide open with those two teams.
11:26
[SPEAKER_00]: The Bengals are three and six.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe Burrow is gonna be back at some point.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I still just think they're gonna be on the outside looking in.
11:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're competing with one of these Steelers or ravens for that wild card spot.
11:39
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't play either of those teams.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: The team that is in fifth place, the top wildcard team right now is coming into your building.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: This Sunday, this isn't early playoff game.
11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a playoff game in November.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: If the Jack Wars win this game, and get to 6 and 4, and the Chargers fall to 7 and 4, they will be right there.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously the Chargers haven't had their bio weekend, right?
12:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But they'll be right there with the chargers, if they do that.
12:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a huge game.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk a lot more about that game later today in Somaro and getting into the weekend.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I am going out of town tomorrow.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So what I'm going to try to do is record a show for tomorrow morning tonight.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And then tomorrow afternoon, after we arrive, it might be tomorrow evening.
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: try to do something as well.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And then have bold predictions as well Saturday morning.
12:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of a regular schedule.
12:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Watching the game is going to be potentially a challenge on Sunday, but I'm going to figure it out.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: or just got like an early family thanksgiving type of type of deal in Kansas City of all places.
12:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's where my wife's family is from, and it is a beautiful place to visit this time of year.
13:04
[SPEAKER_00]: There, it's actually like warmer in Kansas City right now that it is in Jacksonville, Sidebar.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But back to this playoff picture.
13:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Jaguars and Chargers both in a huge game this weekend.
13:15
[SPEAKER_00]: The bills are 6 and 3.
13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Are they out of it in their own division?
13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: The Patriots and the Bills both have really easy schedules coming up.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: If the Patriots slip up and the Bills get hot, they could easily be right there.
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like they could just as easily be, you know, in this range where you're like basically in the hunt, you're fighting, scratching, clawing.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: There are flawed team even with Josh Allen and then you have the Jaguars at 5 and 4.
13:52
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguar is on the tiebreaker with the chiefs, because they beat the chiefs.
13:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Unbelievable tread, Trevor Lawrence clutch.
13:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, just effort all around on that game, Monday night football.
14:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Houston Texans 4 and 5, Baltimore Ravens 4 and 5.
14:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Texans are right on your heels and they own the tiebreaker with you as of now.
14:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You could still beat them later in the year.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, you can't, sorry.
14:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't own the tiebreaker with you.
14:21
[SPEAKER_00]: The two teams split, I apologize about that.
14:23
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars and the Texans split.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So the tiebreaker is kind of yet to be determined there.
14:30
[SPEAKER_00]: But the Texans are right there at four and five.
14:36
[SPEAKER_00]: You had a chance to bury them at 36, get yourself to 63.
14:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Then, if you beat the Chargers, you'd be ahead of them.
14:46
[SPEAKER_00]: In the Jaguars, they can still be ahead of them.
14:48
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just that they have played one last game as over right now.
14:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the Chargers.
14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the playoff picture.
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You're competing with one of the Steelers and Ravens, the Chargers, the Bills, the Chiefs, the Texans.
15:04
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where we're at, as over right now.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You play the Chargers.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you could still win your division technically.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You play the cult's twice.
15:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They have two losses.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: You have four losses.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: If you beat them twice and you went out, or if you beat them twice and you lose one or two other games and they lose one or two other games, you see what I'm saying there?
15:28
[SPEAKER_00]: You can absolutely control your own destiny.
15:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And they do, but as we mentioned, they've got a lot of issues to get fixed.
15:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Schedule ahead for the Jaguars and final record prediction.
15:41
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where we're going right now.
15:44
[SPEAKER_00]: computers not wanting to cooperate with me here though, but the chargers are this weekend Sunday 1pm at the bank.
15:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Jags are really hoping to get some fans out there, but what an uninspiring series of events and unfortunate series of events, limiting snick it could not have even written that shout out to all my millennials who read a series of unfortunate events.
16:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Epic collapse against the Texans.
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you have the Chargers coming in, and the Chargers are a very buttoned up football team.
16:19
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk more about that game.
16:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I have the Jack Wars losing this game.
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope I hope I'm wrong.
16:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It really do.
16:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the Jack Wars have the ability to beat any team that they play on a given Sunday.
16:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they have that, but they can't beat themselves.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: If you beat yourself, how do you're gonna beat your opponent?
16:39
[SPEAKER_00]: When it's a good opponent, right?
16:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them losing to the chargers.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them beating the cardinals.
16:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them beating the Titans.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So you lose to the chargers here now five and five after starting four and one, brutal.
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Beat the cardinals, six and five.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's not a gimmie.
17:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Marvin Harrison Jr. might not be playing.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
17:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Call her Murray won't be playing.
17:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I know some people think is a negative and maybe for the Jaguar, as maybe it is.
17:14
[SPEAKER_00]: planning against the backup quarterback to curb your percent former Florida Gator and see state wolf back.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Six and five.
17:24
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where I have them after the Cardinals game at Tennessee.
17:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them winning that game.
17:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Seven and five versus the Indianapolis Colts in Jacksonville.
17:35
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars outside of that fourth quarter, against the Texans, have been one of the best rushing teams, rush run defense teams in the NFL.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The cult will test that to the max with Jonathan Taylor and that offensive line and that offense.
17:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna say the Jaguars answer the call, eight and five.
18:09
[SPEAKER_00]: nine and five.
18:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That right there is a four game winning streak.
18:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to do it.
18:19
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen them get close to doing it.
18:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to do it.
18:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they're going to lose with the Broncos and Denver.
18:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.
18:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them losing that game.
18:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So nine and six.
18:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Lose to the Colts.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And Andy.
18:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Nine and seven.
18:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Beat the Titans in Jacksonville, 10 and 7.
18:42
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where I have the Jaguars.
18:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think their schedule is very favorable.
18:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They should be favored without question against the Titans and the Jets.
18:52
[SPEAKER_00]: That's three of those winds right there.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The Colts never went in Jacksonville.
18:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they can beat Arizona.
19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: So, 10 and 7.
19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: is where I have the Jaguar's finishing as of right now.
19:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I had them at 11 and 6 last week, that's because I had them beating the Texans, right?
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's where I'm at.
19:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Jaguar's gonna finish 10 and 7.
19:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's still going to be a bumpy ride because you're gonna, if things go high, expect you lose to the charges, you're five and five, you think it's all doom and gloom, you've lost four out of five games, but then you go on a four-game win streak.
19:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you go on a two-game losing streak.
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you finish with Tennessee.
19:40
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I'm predicting it going.
19:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
