0:50
Speaker 4: the Jaguars the number three seed. Broncos have already clinched
0:53
Speaker 4: a playoff spot, the Jaguars have not. There are clenching scenarios,
0:59
Speaker 4: various ones for each team will only won for the Jaguars,
1:02
Speaker 4: a win and a loss for the Texans or the
1:04
Speaker 4: Colts this week, the Jaguars would secure a playoff spot
1:07
Speaker 4: of some kind. The Broncos can clinch everything from the
1:10
Speaker 4: AFC West to the number one seed if some other
1:12
Speaker 4: things go down on Sunday and this weekend. But a
1:16
Speaker 4: massive showdown a mile high.
1:18
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting too.
1:19
Speaker 5: Sean Payton kind of emphasized into the media and to
1:23
Speaker 5: his team about how we haven't accomplished a goal yet,
1:26
Speaker 5: which you know, their goal is to win the division
1:29
Speaker 5: and then after that, you know, best seeding and then
1:31
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. That's the three goals that he set out
1:34
Speaker 5: for his football team. And so he's doing a good
1:36
Speaker 5: job keeping his team.
1:37
Speaker 4: Dialing as well, Tony Vasselli, James Gladstone joining us in studio.

1:49
Speaker 4: the next one up is at Denver, a very good
1:52
Speaker 4: football team. They won a bunch of games in a row.
1:54
Speaker 4: And so the Jaguars. You know, this is a team
1:57
Speaker 4: that I was talking on the last show. Wait sitting here,
2:00

2:51
Speaker 7: It's pure Look, it's pure fashion fashion GM.

2:58
Speaker 3: You guys obviously have they covered.
3:01
Speaker 6: So we're good to.
3:01
Speaker 2: Go on.
3:05
Speaker 5: To By the way that you get that from George too,
3:08
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I gotta go, I gotta I gotta get
3:10
Speaker 5: the title.
3:10
Speaker 3: George, I got learn to talk to people. I think that's.
3:17
Speaker 6: Listen, what an opportunity we have.
3:20
Speaker 3: Uh.
3:20
Speaker 7: Denver is a great team, Sean Payton one of the
3:23
Speaker 7: best head coaches you know in the NFL, great offensive mind,
3:27
Speaker 7: and it's a great challenge for us and a great
3:29
Speaker 7: opportunity for this organization once again to go to the
3:33
Speaker 7: West Coast, go into a tough environment against a very
3:37
Speaker 7: or towards the West Coast, I guess, uh, Mountain area.
3:40
Speaker 6: Uh.
3:42
Speaker 7: And it's a very tough environment, you know, Jeff, you
3:44
Speaker 7: and I have played in that place before in big games,
3:46
Speaker 7: and it's some of the best.
3:48
Speaker 6: Uh.
3:48
Speaker 7: It's one of the best fan bases in the NFL.
3:51
Speaker 7: They packed that place out. It's gonna be loud, it's
3:53
Speaker 7: gonna be rowdy. It's a good football team. And UH,
3:56
Speaker 7: we're looking forward to a chance to go out in
3:58
Speaker 7: most important game in his through the franchise, and we're
4:01
Speaker 7: looking forward to the opportunity.
4:02
Speaker 5: It's kind of interesting how a lot of times guys
4:05
Speaker 5: will talk about, you know, getting in front of that
4:07
Speaker 5: home crowd and the loud environment. I mean, as a player,
4:10
Speaker 5: I'd take a loud environment anywhere. I don't care if
4:13
Speaker 5: it's at home, if it's all on the road. It
4:15
Speaker 5: just it makes the circumstances of the moment.
4:18
Speaker 6: It's because you play defense to try to playing offense.
4:21
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't have to worry about that left tackle
4:24
Speaker 3: over here. Quiet every time you go out silent count
4:28
Speaker 3: I just want allowed all the time. You know, It's
4:31
Speaker 3: all good with me.
4:32
Speaker 6: No, But I mean it's a good point, Jeff.
4:34
Speaker 7: I mean, even as an offensive player, obviously it presents challenges.
4:38
Speaker 7: I think our team has done a great job in
4:40
Speaker 7: those situations. Obviously, Cincinnati was packed early and there was
4:45
Speaker 7: very loud Houston's Place that gets it going in there,
4:48
Speaker 7: rackets and and so it's a group that's uh handled that.
4:52
Speaker 7: As far as the communication and work through it another challenge.
4:56
Speaker 7: But as a player, I think the environment is fun
4:59
Speaker 7: to play. It's exciting. You know, it's a big game.
5:03
Speaker 7: They're twelve and two, we're ten and four. Playoffs are
5:06
Speaker 7: on the on the board. I mean, both teams are
5:09
Speaker 7: trying to win a division and we got to go
5:11
Speaker 7: beat the Broncos and they got to beat us, and
5:13
Speaker 7: it's going to be quite a matchup.
5:15
Speaker 4: We'll get into some of those head to head matchups
5:17
Speaker 4: coming up. But James Trevor Lawrence seems to have found
5:20
Speaker 4: a stride here in this December month of December, very
5:25
Speaker 4: important months certainly to get it going. But nine touchdowns,
5:28
Speaker 4: no picks the last three weeks.
5:30
Speaker 3: Why now? And what do you like the most about
5:33
Speaker 3: his game so far?
5:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think there's a lot of layers
5:35
Speaker 2: to that. Certainly good to see things start to show
5:38
Speaker 2: themselves in a way that I think we all envisioned
5:41
Speaker 2: his potential to be and really knowing that, you know,
5:45
Speaker 2: it's not going to be something ever that just with
5:47
Speaker 2: a snap of a finger presents itself and you got
5:50
Speaker 2: to go through a couple different iterations, a couple of
5:53
Speaker 2: different highs, a couple different lows in order to find
5:56
Speaker 2: your footing. And I think the cool thing is that
5:58
Speaker 2: there's been maturation over the course of you know, a season,
6:02
Speaker 2: not even a full season, to sort of find our
6:05
Speaker 2: grooves and really what works best and areas that we
6:08
Speaker 2: still feel like we can tap into. And I think
6:11
Speaker 2: Trevor's Trevor's willingness to take on yet again another another
6:18
Speaker 2: scheme with no flinch and be able to now put
6:24
Speaker 2: his spin on it. Pun intended based off of the
6:26
Speaker 2: two plays that we've seen over the last two weeks,
6:29
Speaker 2: but I think that piece has really been the more
6:33
Speaker 2: notable element here down the stretch, right, him playing some
6:37
Speaker 2: version of what people would label as freely and elevating
6:42
Speaker 2: the plays right, going beyond just the play itself and
6:47
Speaker 2: sort of if you get into the minutia or the
6:49
Speaker 2: detail there, being able to operate the plays within the
6:52
Speaker 2: scope of the intent at the same time. So sometimes
6:56
Speaker 2: making the let's just call it the mundane look really
7:00
Speaker 2: good is what high quality quarterback play is. And he's
7:04
Speaker 2: doing both of that portion and the big play capacity
7:10
Speaker 2: or the play outside the structure, and I think being
7:13
Speaker 2: able to see those things show themselves is it's a
7:16
Speaker 2: combination of a tunne layers. I don't think you can
7:18
Speaker 2: pin it down to any one thing. Obviously it falls
7:20
Speaker 2: on his shoulders in large part, but there are so
7:24
Speaker 2: many other pieces that you know, if I tried to
7:26
Speaker 2: work through the acknowledgment of all of them, it'd be
7:29
Speaker 2: a long time on air. But nonetheless, it's really cool
7:33
Speaker 2: to see it. On the other side, you got Boon
7:35
Speaker 2: Nicks who's playing very good ball as well. So being
7:37
Speaker 2: able to see these two duel here this weekend is
7:41
Speaker 2: certainly going to be entertaining for the NFL, but I
7:44
Speaker 2: know that we're looking forward to the opportunity and it's
7:47
Speaker 2: going to be a cool deal to see.
7:49
Speaker 5: It's fun watching him because you know, as Trevor said,
7:53
Speaker 5: he goes you just I'm just seeing it really well.
7:55
Speaker 5: And when you watch him play, you can literally focus
7:59
Speaker 5: on his feet sometimes to see how he's seeing it
8:02
Speaker 5: because his feet are defined now in a much faster
8:06
Speaker 5: way to where it's you know, one, two, three banned
8:08
Speaker 5: that backfoot plants and then he's confidently thrown in a direction.
8:13
Speaker 3: That he feels good about.
8:15
Speaker 5: And this past game, I thought the coaching staff did
8:18
Speaker 5: a masterful job of attacking some of that man coverage
8:22
Speaker 5: opportunities against the Jets, and it was reflected in the
8:25
Speaker 5: number of big plays that Eatn had and Bachial Touton had,
8:30
Speaker 5: which gave Trevor the tools and the confidence to execute
8:34
Speaker 5: at a high level.
8:34
Speaker 2: I thought it was fantastic, no doubt, and I think
8:38
Speaker 2: you look towards the first quarter of our season, we
8:40
Speaker 2: were leaning heavily on the run game. Teams began pouring
8:43
Speaker 2: into trying to do their best to stop that, and
8:46
Speaker 2: it's been a big piece to many of the opponents
8:49
Speaker 2: that we faced in the priority of many of the
8:51
Speaker 2: opponents that we face to stop our run game, and
8:55
Speaker 2: now you see a different iteration of our offense and
8:58
Speaker 2: being able to say, hey, we get it. We're going
9:00
Speaker 2: to do our part to attack you through the air
9:03
Speaker 2: and use the same people that we would in the
9:05
Speaker 2: run game to do that, right, And so I think
9:07
Speaker 2: that was certainly something that represented activating those same guys
9:12
Speaker 2: out of the backfield, but in the passing attack in
9:14
Speaker 2: a real way and certainly a beneficial one.
9:16
Speaker 3: The strain.
9:17
Speaker 5: There was a couple of plays I just wanted to
9:18
Speaker 5: bring up to you, guys, and Tony, you'll appreciate this one.
9:21
Speaker 5: It was a long touchdown screen pass and seventy seven
9:26
Speaker 5: got out there and got two blocks and then running
9:28
Speaker 5: down the field to celebrate with ETN and the end
9:31
Speaker 5: zone was tremendous. The deep pass to Brian Thomas Junior
9:35
Speaker 5: and he got Brenton Strange blocking two different guys. I mean,
9:39
Speaker 5: I mean, just perfect example of guys straining to do
9:42
Speaker 5: what's needed to do to win.
9:45
Speaker 3: That's winning football.
9:46
Speaker 6: No, I think they did.
9:47
Speaker 7: They did a great job, and it's going to take
9:48
Speaker 7: that type effort this week as well, And I think
9:50
Speaker 7: what this group has done, they've been you know, Liam
9:54
Speaker 7: talked about it several weeks ago about what the standard
9:57
Speaker 7: is that these guys have set a high standard in
9:59
Speaker 7: the channel just to go meet week in and week out.
10:02
Speaker 7: And I think you see that showing up on tape,
10:04
Speaker 7: and but at the same time, you got to go
10:06
Speaker 7: do it consistently. You got to go do it this
10:07
Speaker 7: week against a really good team. And so I thought
10:10
Speaker 7: it was great watching Anton use his athletic ability. He's gifted,
10:13
Speaker 7: getting out in space, making plays. You know, Brenton's a
10:17
Speaker 7: guy who's done that consistently, straining through the.
10:19
Speaker 6: Echo of the whistle.
10:21
Speaker 7: And I think if you look at the whole offensive
10:22
Speaker 7: line of how they played that game against the Jets,
10:25
Speaker 7: they did a great job of giving Trevor the time
10:27
Speaker 7: to be comfortable back there to execute the game plan.
10:30
Speaker 3: Even on that scramble for a touchdown, it was.
10:32
Speaker 7: They kept on, They stuck to the box, finishing knowing
10:35
Speaker 7: that hey, sometimes the eternal clock can go off and
10:39
Speaker 7: saying well, hey I blocked the stop and look three
10:41
Speaker 7: and a half seconds or whatever. You start looking around,
10:43
Speaker 7: and I think what I enjoy is watching those guys
10:47
Speaker 7: just continue to work, and that's the type of effort's
10:49
Speaker 7: going to take.
10:49
Speaker 6: That's our play style.
10:51
Speaker 7: We talked about what it means to be a Jacksonville
10:53
Speaker 7: Jaguar and what the expectations are and and Liam communicates that.
10:57
Speaker 7: Our staff communicates it clearly. And I give all the
11:00
Speaker 7: credit to our players because they've owned it. They they've
11:03
Speaker 7: lived it, and day in and day out, whether it's
11:06
Speaker 7: on the practice field in the game, it shows up.
11:09
Speaker 7: And that's the type of team that we want to be.
11:11
Speaker 7: And that's the type of team is to take to
11:13
Speaker 7: go into Denver, tough place to play. This is a
11:15
Speaker 7: Broncos team that's not lost at home this year, the
11:17
Speaker 7: only team in the NFL, and they have a lot
11:19
Speaker 7: of pride having grown up there. I know what it
11:22
Speaker 7: was now, Boulder, Colorado. Yeah, thirty minutes from the stadium
11:27
Speaker 7: without traffic, but it's a there's no traffic growing up,
11:32
Speaker 7: but there's a lot now. It's a place that takes
11:35
Speaker 7: a lot of pride in the home field advantage mile high.
11:38
Speaker 7: You know, Jeff, remember when we went there, they had
11:40
Speaker 7: the big sign in the locker room and said how
11:42
Speaker 7: high the elevation was. And so all those things come
11:46
Speaker 7: into play, and it's this is where we can we'll
11:48
Speaker 7: find out and we get to go prove once again
11:50
Speaker 7: and live out what we believe about being tough, not
11:53
Speaker 7: just physically but mentally tough going in that environment because
11:55
Speaker 7: they got to. We talked about them as a team.
11:58
Speaker 7: They got a lot of good players both sides of
12:00
Speaker 7: the ball. They're the best pass rushing team in the NFL.
12:04
Speaker 7: They got an all Pro corner, they got a young
12:09
Speaker 7: quarterback that James talked about that's playing at an elite level.
12:12
Speaker 7: They got, you know, a play calling that puts them
12:14
Speaker 7: in great situations. They got set in the big time
12:16
Speaker 7: receiver who's a fifty to fifty guy. Got a good
12:19
Speaker 7: offensive line themselves, one of the best pass walking offensive
12:21
Speaker 7: lines in the NFL. So you know, they have all
12:24
Speaker 7: the tools and it's the reason they've won eleven straight.
12:28
Speaker 7: This is a team that's won a lot of football games,
12:30
Speaker 7: so it's gonna take great effort to go out there
12:32
Speaker 7: and beat them.
12:32
Speaker 4: Let's come back in a moment and we'll dig into
12:35
Speaker 4: some of these matchups and take a look first at
12:38
Speaker 4: that Denver defense rated very highly in so many areas.
12:41
Speaker 3: We'll dig into it.
12:42
Speaker 4: When we come back, it's Jags HQ on the Jaguars
12:45
Speaker 4: Radio Network.
12:52
Speaker 1: Welcome Back, Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
12:57
Speaker 1: right now.
12:58
Speaker 4: We're back JP Shadwick with Jeff Halo, Tony Biselli, and
13:01
Speaker 4: Jeames Gladstone live in the studio with us ahead of
13:03
Speaker 4: Week sixteen. The Jaguars and the Broncos Mile High, Denver
13:08
Speaker 4: the site. And it's a Broncos defense that rates very
13:12
Speaker 4: highly in most every category. Number five in the league
13:15
Speaker 4: in total D, second in the league in rushing. They're
13:18
Speaker 4: number one on third down, they're number one in red zone,
13:21
Speaker 4: they're number one in scoring D and they do a
13:24
Speaker 4: lot of things really really well. What is it about
13:27
Speaker 4: the scheme, the personnel that matches to make this group elite?
13:31
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair question. I think first just
13:33
Speaker 2: looking across the board at the personnel, I mean, they
13:36
Speaker 2: got somebody at really each level in the defense that
13:40
Speaker 2: can make a handful of plays and problems for an offense.
13:43
Speaker 2: And you start with the two edge guys, work your
13:46
Speaker 2: way inside, and all four of those guys that are
13:48
Speaker 2: going to be on the field at the same time
13:49
Speaker 2: always present problems in particular the get off of Benito
13:54
Speaker 2: and Anton has a history with him dating back to
13:57
Speaker 2: their time at Oklahoma, so it's not uncharted territory for
14:00
Speaker 2: the two of them. So that should be some fun
14:02
Speaker 2: matchups in the instances that they get a chance to
14:04
Speaker 2: go against each other, knowing that both of them are
14:07
Speaker 2: extremely gifted athletes. And beyond that, you got a guy
14:11
Speaker 2: opposite Benito who's as good of a football playing edge
14:16
Speaker 2: defender as you'll find.
14:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what round was he picked? In here? Talking about.
14:22
Speaker 6: Seventh round? He was their second James.
14:26
Speaker 2: You know what time will truly tell, but I will
14:29
Speaker 2: say this, We'll get a chance to see Leaquinn Allen
14:32
Speaker 2: step onto the field and in a heightened roll on
14:34
Speaker 2: the offense and see whether or not that brings with
14:36
Speaker 2: it some perspective out. Yeah, you want to talk about
14:41
Speaker 2: highlightings and plays from last week to give some guys
14:43
Speaker 2: to think about in preparation for us this week. I
14:46
Speaker 2: know that that's on the mind of a few.
14:47
Speaker 5: My favorite play, one of my favorite players, so Van
14:53
Speaker 5: Lannon's block in ninety five. Laquin takes his right ribcage
14:58
Speaker 5: out and and then as he's kind of knocked back
15:01
Speaker 5: to the inside.
15:02
Speaker 3: Here comes Ezra Cleveland.
15:05
Speaker 6: Poor guy was a rough snap for this my man,
15:08
Speaker 6: Ezra hit some like just you know.
15:10
Speaker 5: Right in the side of the face helmet and the
15:13
Speaker 5: poor guy's down on the ground. Just that would suck
15:17
Speaker 5: as a pass rusher.
15:18
Speaker 6: Would you like the rib shot from the Quinn of
15:20
Speaker 6: the past? Right? No?
15:21
Speaker 3: Thanks, man.
15:21
Speaker 5: I can tell you the guy that was one of
15:23
Speaker 5: the best at it that the worst one that I
15:24
Speaker 5: ever took was Eric Binemy. He was, you know, he's
15:28
Speaker 5: this tall, you know, and he's like, he's like right
15:32
Speaker 5: Jones Drew. You know, he was the hardest rib chip
15:36
Speaker 5: guy that I ever went against, and then one of
15:38
Speaker 5: the hardest guys to ever tackle.
15:40
Speaker 6: Did change how you rush knowing he was there?
15:42
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, yeah, I mean I went after him, yeah,
15:45
Speaker 5: you know, and then I figured it I'd get after
15:47
Speaker 5: him and then figure out what was next.
15:50
Speaker 4: I don't want to leave it open for sure that
15:53
Speaker 4: a few times. How about the secondary for this team's
15:55
Speaker 4: some elite cornerback play too.
15:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And yeah, both both
15:59
Speaker 2: sides of the the cornerback table here that they're finding
16:03
Speaker 2: their footing right. And obviously it's easy to talk about
16:06
Speaker 2: certain and really the role that he has, what he
16:10
Speaker 2: does for their defense and why he makes that pass
16:13
Speaker 2: rush all the more effective because he can remain in
16:17
Speaker 2: tight coverage for quite a while. And then Riley Moss,
16:20
Speaker 2: who's as aggressive in coverage as anybody in the NFL,
16:23
Speaker 2: not fearful of taking his shots, and you know, he's
16:25
Speaker 2: had a high volume of penalties. And really both the
16:28
Speaker 2: teams playing on Sunday are leading the league in penalty counts.
16:32
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see which of the two
16:34
Speaker 2: teams can find a way to quiet that or if
16:39
Speaker 2: we end up by the end of it both teams
16:41
Speaker 2: showing that it still remains a piece to the puzzle.
16:43
Speaker 2: And it's a high count, but it's obviously something that
16:45
Speaker 2: up to this point our two teams have have fought,
16:49
Speaker 2: have dealt with over the course of the season. And
16:53
Speaker 2: I think that that's certainly shown itself in coverage for Riley,
16:56
Speaker 2: but beyond that of Fungo, who they signed in the season,
17:00
Speaker 2: certainly familiar with his game back then and they did
17:03
Speaker 2: less play on the tight end and that's impressive, very impressive.
17:06
Speaker 7: Wow, he's a he is a safety that you have
17:10
Speaker 7: to understand where he is because he's going to comme
17:13
Speaker 7: hit you.
17:13
Speaker 5: He's yeah, he's he's a hardhead. Yeah, I think a
17:16
Speaker 5: ko that tight end on a little toss.
17:19
Speaker 6: For running back.
17:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, that was an extremely impressive play. And
17:23
Speaker 2: you know, I saw it throughout the course of time
17:26
Speaker 2: in the NFC West when he was with forty nine ers,
17:28
Speaker 2: and uh, I know he's dealt with his fair share
17:30
Speaker 2: of injuries and has battled through those, but his physical
17:33
Speaker 2: style of play is one that you got to account for.
17:35
Speaker 2: And there are plenty of other names, but this is
17:37
Speaker 2: a very good defense. I think that production obviously showcases that.
17:43
Speaker 2: But it's also been a team that you know, has
17:46
Speaker 2: kept their their offense in it and given them chances
17:50
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter to come from behind and close
17:53
Speaker 2: things out. That's where their offense has has really been
17:56
Speaker 2: at its best is when it was necessary, when it
17:59
Speaker 2: was a choir and that's in the fourth quarter. Well
18:01
Speaker 2: Nicks leading those comebacks.
18:03
Speaker 5: He's been in find ways tremendous. I mean, especially at
18:06
Speaker 5: the end of games. Going back to Cirtan just for
18:09
Speaker 5: a minute, just from your perspective, I mean, there's there's
18:14
Speaker 5: elite corners in the National Football League and many people
18:16
Speaker 5: would probably put him in that group at the top.
18:21
Speaker 5: Who are some of the other corners in the National
18:23
Speaker 5: Football League that you would put into that category. Yeah,
18:26
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily ranking them or anything in any particular order.
18:29
Speaker 2: Yeah. The easy one to follow it right up at
18:32
Speaker 2: this stage, and one that we faced twice already is Stingling,
18:35
Speaker 2: you know. I think we saw that in our second
18:37
Speaker 2: game versus them, and he was a big reason why
18:39
Speaker 2: they stayed in it.
18:40
Speaker 4: Right.
18:40
Speaker 2: We were spreading the lead and they were able to
18:43
Speaker 2: produce a turnover. That wasn't an easy right pick to take.
18:46
Speaker 2: But that's the first one that comes to mind right
18:48
Speaker 2: off the heels of it. Absolutely absolutely, So I think
18:51
Speaker 2: those two are.
18:52
Speaker 6: His partner on their side isn't too bad either.
18:54
Speaker 2: That's a great, great call because he's certainly on the
18:57
Speaker 2: rise end of that conversation, and it's just a round
19:00
Speaker 2: bid football player as it stands, and so I think
19:03
Speaker 2: that those two certainly have a place at the top.
19:06
Speaker 4: Let's come back in a moment, We'll take a look
19:08
Speaker 4: at Bownicks and the Broncos offense.
19:11
Speaker 3: And wrap it up with Tony and James.
19:14
Speaker 4: With us each and every Thursday, it's Jaggs HQ on
19:17
Speaker 4: Jaguars Radio.
19:21
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
19:26
Speaker 1: right now.
19:27
Speaker 4: Welcome back it is Jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida,
19:31
Speaker 4: JP Shadwick, Jeff Logovian, Tony Bisselli, and James Gladstone and
19:35
Speaker 4: studio with us for a final few minutes. And let's
19:38
Speaker 4: get into the Broncos offense and quarterback Boenix in year
19:43
Speaker 4: number two, sixty four percent passer, twenty three touchdowns, nine interceptions.
19:48
Speaker 4: It sounds familiar. And he's got thirty two hundred yards
19:51
Speaker 4: passing almost identical numbers for the season. To Trevor Lawrence,
19:55
Speaker 4: what stands out about bow Necks beyond the five touchdowns
19:58
Speaker 4: last week that he threw?
20:00
Speaker 6: So what?
20:00
Speaker 2: I think it's a telltale sign of what a quarterback
20:05
Speaker 2: can do for you when you're playing from behind or
20:10
Speaker 2: the games on the line, and they can get the
20:14
Speaker 2: points needed for you guys to walk away with a W.
20:17
Speaker 2: And he's certainly done that what six times this year
20:20
Speaker 2: and come from behind victories or.
20:22
Speaker 3: Fourth quarter five times, so.
20:24
Speaker 2: Fourth quarter victories are all those and I think it's
20:27
Speaker 2: as high as maybe eighteen points versus the Giants and
20:33
Speaker 2: three points and a few others, and being as low
20:36
Speaker 2: as three points and a few others. So I think
20:38
Speaker 2: that certainly stands out the will to win that he carries.
20:40
Speaker 2: You know, he has belief from that football team that
20:44
Speaker 2: he can get it done. And his ability on the
20:46
Speaker 2: move has certainly been a constant throughout the course of
20:49
Speaker 2: his career, dating back to Auburn, and he's continuing to
20:53
Speaker 2: tap into that. You can see that the play calling
20:56
Speaker 2: is tapping into that skill set. I think that they're
21:00
Speaker 2: effectively marrying a lot of the scheme with his skill set,
21:05
Speaker 2: and like Trevor, who's playing with a high level of
21:09
Speaker 2: command and security and confidence, Bozing in a very similar place.
21:14
Speaker 2: And I think we're set to see a good game
21:17
Speaker 2: here between those two in particular, but beyond it, I mean,
21:20
Speaker 2: their offensive line protects and he does not take sacks.
21:23
Speaker 2: Their defense produces them. They do not give them up offensively,
21:27
Speaker 2: and he's quick to get it out or get on
21:29
Speaker 2: the move and doesn't give the defense clean looks at
21:34
Speaker 2: those get home opportunities, which is.
21:35
Speaker 3: Rare for a young quarterback.
21:37
Speaker 5: I mean seventeen sacks on the year allowed by the Broncos,
21:40
Speaker 5: which is first or fewest in the National Football League
21:44
Speaker 5: in those tackles. Tony, I know your herd on tackles.
21:48
Speaker 5: Garrett Balls. A couple of years ago, many people thought
21:50
Speaker 5: that he was bust, I mean, and all of a
21:54
Speaker 5: sudden now he's one of the better tackles in the league.
21:56
Speaker 5: And mcglench, she's a good player, good right tackle over
22:00
Speaker 5: from the forty nine ers, I think a second round
22:02
Speaker 5: pick a few years back. I mean two of the
22:05
Speaker 5: better tackle or the tandems in the league.
22:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, they do a really nice job, and I think
22:10
Speaker 7: they do a good job all by themselves. But then
22:13
Speaker 7: I think also the way that they move the pocket
22:15
Speaker 7: and some of the things that they're able to deploy
22:18
Speaker 7: because of bo Nix's ability, it also takes some pressure
22:21
Speaker 7: off them as a unit. So it's a combination of
22:23
Speaker 7: really good players. And then scheme a lot of boots,
22:27
Speaker 7: a lot of movements, so there's bow knicks very rarely
22:30
Speaker 7: is in one place. So and you know that as
22:32
Speaker 7: a rusher, if a guy's moving around you, it's harder
22:34
Speaker 7: to time up your rush and trying to get that
22:37
Speaker 7: aiming point of where you want where you're targeting. And
22:40
Speaker 7: I think and then on top of it, I think
22:42
Speaker 7: where Bo has really been impressive and helps an offensive
22:45
Speaker 7: line as well, is that when he's on the move,
22:48
Speaker 7: he remains a passer. He has the ability to run
22:52
Speaker 7: the ball, and he'll run it and use his legs
22:54
Speaker 7: and get some valuable right yards. But if you watch him,
22:56
Speaker 7: he's always keeping his eyes down the field, and they
22:58
Speaker 7: have a lot of big plays down the field because
23:01
Speaker 7: he's able to escape and stay a passer. And that's
23:05
Speaker 7: something a lot of the young players don't do either.
23:08
Speaker 7: You know, it's not there. They take off, they're running
23:10
Speaker 7: around and then their eyes drop, their eyes drop, And
23:12
Speaker 7: I think give credit to bow Knicks because he does
23:15
Speaker 7: a great job of staying in the play and keeping
23:18
Speaker 7: all ten guys, those five eligibles alive for as long
23:22
Speaker 7: as possible.
23:23
Speaker 6: So it's a combination.
23:25
Speaker 7: But you got two good tackles, it's overall good offensive
23:28
Speaker 7: line that will get after you'll protect and allow bow
23:33
Speaker 7: Nicks to be who he is, and that's a guy
23:35
Speaker 7: who's athletic and is a competitor.
23:37
Speaker 6: Just like James said, Quinn.
23:39
Speaker 3: Miner is the right guard.
23:40
Speaker 6: He's a coolest story.
23:42
Speaker 5: I mean, a couple of years ago, I remember watching
23:44
Speaker 5: on film, and I had no idea who this guy was,
23:48
Speaker 5: and I just kept eyes kept getting pulled to seventy
23:51
Speaker 5: seven of the Denver Broncos, and I went, gosh. So
23:54
Speaker 5: I got my phone out and I literally go to
23:56
Speaker 5: the roster of the Denver Broncos, going who is this guy?
24:00
Speaker 5: You know, he's a young player at the time, Quinn
24:02
Speaker 5: Minor never even heard of him and then played at
24:05
Speaker 5: Wisconsin Whitewater.
24:06
Speaker 3: What is that.
24:10
Speaker 2: Unless you played Division III football, you may not be
24:12
Speaker 2: all that in tune with some of the powerhouses Division three.
24:16
Speaker 2: That's one of them. Yeah, and he actually didn't even
24:19
Speaker 2: have his senior year because of COVID, so he only
24:23
Speaker 2: does three seasons at Wisconsin Whitewater was training for the
24:28
Speaker 2: draft throughout the course of COVID gets an opportunity and
24:32
Speaker 2: an invite to the Senior Bowl where he has a
24:36
Speaker 2: ton of pancakes.
24:38
Speaker 6: You remember those rolling guys.
24:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's in a spot where certainly technique refinement
24:43
Speaker 2: is not a part of the game because.
24:45
Speaker 3: The strength, the power, ridiculous.
24:48
Speaker 2: The commitment to the finish, and you know, his personality
24:52
Speaker 2: was electric. They absolutely nailed it with that, but obviously
24:57
Speaker 2: it took a lot of projection because he had seen
25:00
Speaker 2: him play up until the Senior Bowl and then his
25:02
Speaker 2: junior season at that Wisconsin Whitewater because of COVID. But
25:07
Speaker 2: obviously he's morphed into one of, if not the premiere
25:13
Speaker 2: right guard in the NFL, and you know, he's playing
25:16
Speaker 2: at an extremely high level.
25:18
Speaker 5: I figured something had to happen, because you know, we
25:20
Speaker 5: when you got a guy from Wisconsin, Wisconsin Whitewater and
25:24
Speaker 5: he gets drafted into the third round, there's gotta be
25:27
Speaker 5: something that kind of makes the bell ring for somebody
25:30
Speaker 5: that says, I gotta have that guy.
25:32
Speaker 3: That's right, And so.
25:33
Speaker 5: You're saying the Senior Bowl, especially because if he didn't
25:35
Speaker 5: play a senior year because of COVID, I mean, that
25:38
Speaker 5: Senior Bowl.
25:39
Speaker 3: Made him a lot of money. Oh if he didn't
25:42
Speaker 3: have that, I mean, what has he got to go on?
25:44
Speaker 6: Yeah?
25:44
Speaker 2: Undoubtedly, I think it certainly allowed for a setting that
25:48
Speaker 2: you know, and it does for many players, but in
25:50
Speaker 2: that specific instance where you know, people could tap into
25:54
Speaker 2: that rely on that as a version of a oh wow,
25:57
Speaker 2: he's not he's not struggling with this level of competition.
26:01
Speaker 2: This is this is something that we would love to
26:03
Speaker 2: invest in and invest time in knowing that there's a
26:07
Speaker 2: lot of stuff that is hard to ever develop or teach,
26:10
Speaker 2: which is some of the physical capacity that he presents.
26:13
Speaker 5: He's got a base anchor. That's just I mean, it's
26:17
Speaker 5: like he's got roots in the ground. I mean, just
26:20
Speaker 5: you know, never gets all balanced. It seems like, yeah,
26:24
Speaker 5: all right, we'll leave you with this.
26:25
Speaker 4: The Jaguars and the Broncos both have clinching scenarios this week.
26:29
Speaker 4: The Jackson clinch a playoff berth with a win and
26:31
Speaker 4: a Texans or Colts loss. The Broncos can clinch anywhere
26:34
Speaker 4: from the AFC West to the number one seed with
26:37
Speaker 4: a bunch of things happening. This is what you play
26:39
Speaker 4: the whole season for, for the next opportunity big ball game.
26:42
Speaker 4: Both teams in the top three in seedings.
26:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think you don't worry about any
26:46
Speaker 7: of the scenarios. I think the bottom line is is
26:50
Speaker 7: what we've done as a team so far this year
26:53
Speaker 7: is focused on going figure out how to win a
26:55
Speaker 7: football game. Because right now we've earned the right to
26:58
Speaker 7: be in this position December where we can go out
27:02
Speaker 7: and just worry about ourselves and not worry about what's
27:05
Speaker 7: happening around the rest of the NFL, and so the
27:07
Speaker 7: last thing you wanted to start doing that, And it's
27:10
Speaker 7: another opportunity to go out and show who we are
27:13
Speaker 7: as an organization, who we are as a coaching staff,
27:16
Speaker 7: as a football team, the style play that we want
27:19
Speaker 7: to bring to the field every Sunday, and then worry
27:24
Speaker 7: about the outcome and what happens at the end of
27:28
Speaker 7: the game. And I think that these guys, these guys
27:30
Speaker 7: on our team have done a great job of that
27:33
Speaker 7: of just going out and playing each nap, physical, tough,
27:37
Speaker 7: with a relentless style. Go compete, and we'll worry about
27:41
Speaker 7: the outcome when it's all said and done.
27:43
Speaker 3: I saw a video today.
27:45
Speaker 5: I don't if somebody put it up on Twitter anticipating,
27:48
Speaker 5: you know, the Broncos Jags game, and it was a
27:51
Speaker 5: ninety six playoff game and young BASSELLI walking off the field.
27:56
Speaker 3: I said, God, he's looking old right now. Oh I'm
28:00
Speaker 3: looking at a picture. Have you looked at yourself? I
28:02
Speaker 3: did that, which the same thing. I was like, God,
28:05
Speaker 3: the years gone.
28:07
Speaker 2: The funny thing is I did the same thing, and.
28:12
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sitting just so we're all clear.
28:17
Speaker 7: In nineteen ninety six or January of ninety seven when
28:22
Speaker 7: we were playing that game. Yeah, there was a young
28:25
Speaker 7: man who's about six and a half years old sitting
28:30
Speaker 7: in Saint Louis playing with Legos.
28:36
Speaker 3: I can remember that Sunday.
28:37
Speaker 6: I was watching the Broncos.
28:43
Speaker 3: Already.
28:46
Speaker 7: But it's what an opportunity to your point, JP, December football,
28:49
Speaker 7: great atmosphere against one of the historically great football organizations
28:54
Speaker 7: in the NFL, the Denver Broncos. Great fan base they have,
28:57
Speaker 7: and we're looking forward to the opportunity to go show
29:00
Speaker 7: who we are.
29:01
Speaker 6: Guys.
29:01
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, have a great week.
29:03
Speaker 2: Thank you guys as allways.
29:04
Speaker 4: James Gladstone, Tony BUSSELLI joining us each and every Thursday.
29:08
Speaker 4: In about fifteen minutes, we'll hear from Benjamin Albright of
29:11
Speaker 4: KOA Radio and Denver his insight to the success of
29:14
Speaker 4: this Broncos highly rated defense.
29:16
Speaker 3: It's Jags HQ on the Jaguars Radio Network.
29:22
Speaker 1: Welcome Back, Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
29:27
Speaker 1: right now.
29:28
Speaker 4: We are on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the
29:30
Speaker 4: University of Florida at Number one University and the US
29:33
Speaker 4: News and World reports number.
29:34
Speaker 3: One state for education.
29:36
Speaker 4: JP Shadick with Jeff Logoman Jags HQ continues, all right,
29:41
Speaker 4: thanks to Tony Bisselli, James Gladstone.
29:45
Speaker 3: Wow, here we.
29:46
Speaker 4: Are December, important football game. Nothing clinched for the Jaguars yet,
29:51
Speaker 4: but you know what, they've earned the right to be
29:54
Speaker 4: in this position, to play in these kind of games.
29:56
Speaker 4: And good to hear the perspective from those two.
29:58
Speaker 3: With the in there.
30:01
Speaker 4: James Gladstone's six years old when you guys played ninety six.
30:06
Speaker 4: That's funny. Oh great, I think I was in Let's see,
30:10
Speaker 4: I was in eighth grade. Seventh grade, is that right?
30:12
Speaker 4: Eight eighth grade?
30:13
Speaker 3: Okay, uh huh. It was.
30:17
Speaker 5: Pretty cool moment, I mean, going out there kind of
30:20
Speaker 5: flashing back down memory lane, you know, playoff game in Denver.
30:23
Speaker 5: I mean, the atmosphere was tremendous, kind of a little
30:27
Speaker 5: a lot of similarities to what it is now, and
30:28
Speaker 5: that the Broncos are hot, the expected top team in
30:33
Speaker 5: the AFC, and many were just kind of writing off
30:37
Speaker 5: Jacksonville at that time. It was just, you know, no
30:40
Speaker 5: chance that they have of winning a game like that
30:42
Speaker 5: against the NFL's favorite, the Darling, which was the Denver Broncos,
30:48
Speaker 5: and you know, the atmosphere was tremendous. They came out,
30:52
Speaker 5: they played well, and we kind of survived that initial
30:56
Speaker 5: onslaught and handled the noise in the elevation, and then
31:02
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, Mark brunelld just went crazy and
31:05
Speaker 5: started playing incredibly well.
31:06
Speaker 4: Well, this Jaguars team no offense to you guys in
31:10
Speaker 4: ninety six. I mean, it feels like they have a
31:14
Speaker 4: little more. They're rolling right now. I don't think there's
31:19
Speaker 4: much of an underdog as that team, complete underdog. This
31:22
Speaker 4: team can compete with any team in the NFL.
31:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, we were complete underdogs. Nobody had
31:27
Speaker 5: any expectations, attack attached, just because we were a second
31:30
Speaker 5: year expansion franchise.
31:32
Speaker 3: A little different now, a little different. Yeah, it's a
31:34
Speaker 3: good thing.
31:35
Speaker 5: It's going to be fantastic and the atmosphere is going
31:37
Speaker 5: to be great. The television sets, turn your volumes down,
31:41
Speaker 5: turn on your radio broadcast if you want to, but
31:43
Speaker 5: either way, turn the dial up, you know, to kind
31:46
Speaker 5: of get a little bit of an understanding or a
31:50
Speaker 5: feel for what that environment is, because it's going to
31:53
Speaker 5: be a tremendous environment.
31:54
Speaker 4: Great matchups all around, both quarterbacks similar numbers. The defense
32:00
Speaker 4: is highly rated, certainly on the Denver side of the
32:02
Speaker 4: Jaguars have their spots there too, and it's a fantastic
32:08
Speaker 4: matchup really both sides here. I'm looking forward to see
32:10
Speaker 4: if Trevor can keep this train rolling against.
32:13
Speaker 5: A really, really elite defense. Well, he's seeing it, you know,
32:16
Speaker 5: as he said, he's seeing it. He's playing well. And
32:19
Speaker 5: the great thing is is that the weapons that he has,
32:22
Speaker 5: there's no weakness in the weapons across the board, from
32:25
Speaker 5: running backs, tight ends, wide receivers, everybody is having an
32:29
Speaker 5: impact in this offense. And that's why I think that
32:33
Speaker 5: Trevor right now is playing at such a high One
32:35
Speaker 5: of the reasons why he's playing at such a high level,
32:38
Speaker 5: he's got a great set of weapons.
32:40
Speaker 4: The Jaguars final home game of the season, you don't
32:43
Speaker 4: want to miss it. When the Jaguars hosts the Tennessee
32:45
Speaker 4: Titans in Week eighteen, the fan appreciation Game. They'll schedule
32:49
Speaker 4: that game Sunday night of Week seventeen, or usually Sunday night,
32:54
Speaker 4: maybe into Monday, depending on the schedule, but it could
32:57
Speaker 4: be Saturday or Sunday. The Jags will take the field
33:00
Speaker 4: the Prowler throwbacks. No matter what day it is, go
33:02
Speaker 4: to Jaguars dot Com. Slash tickets are called nine oh
33:05
Speaker 4: four six three three, two thousand. Well return with Benjamin
33:08
Speaker 4: Albright of KOA Radio in Denver, a host and reporter
33:12
Speaker 4: covering the Broncos on the flagship station Plinter to get
33:16
Speaker 4: into with the number one seed at the moment, the
33:19
Speaker 4: Denver Broncos. When we come back, it's jaggs HQ on
33:22
Speaker 4: Jaguars Radio.
33:25
Speaker 1: Welcome back jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida.
33:29
Speaker 4: Continues right now, Welcome back, it is jaggs HQ presented
33:33
Speaker 4: by Fresh from Florida. Ahead of Week sixteen, the Jaguars
33:36
Speaker 4: and the Broncos coming up this Sunday at four h
33:38
Speaker 4: five kickoff time in power Field at Mile High in Denver.
33:42
Speaker 4: The site JP Shadrick with you, Jeff Logoman back with
33:46
Speaker 4: us shortly. Benjamin Albright is a host and reporter covering
33:49
Speaker 4: the Broncos on KOA Radio in Denver, the Broncos flagship station.
33:53
Speaker 4: Both of these teams yeah Denver in the playoffs last year.
33:57
Speaker 4: Both these teams might be over a cheap, being a
34:00
Speaker 4: little bit and a little unexpected to have them both
34:03
Speaker 4: in the top three seeds this late in the season.
34:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, certainly not mean this much for these two teams.
34:09
Speaker 8: I think there was some cautious optimism in Denver that
34:11
Speaker 8: they were a repeat playoff team based on you know,
34:14
Speaker 8: last year, as far as that kind of stuff goes.
34:16
Speaker 8: But I mean, even in Denver, there was no way
34:18
Speaker 8: anyone here thought that they'd be in the driver's seat
34:21
Speaker 8: for the number one seed or you know, right in
34:23
Speaker 8: the top of the AFC West, but Kansas City eliminated
34:26
Speaker 8: at this point, there was in their wildest dream, there
34:28
Speaker 8: was nobody here that felt that those were those were possibilities.
34:32
Speaker 8: The Jacksonville thing, I mean, I think there's from the
34:35
Speaker 8: outside looking in, I think there was a lot of
34:36
Speaker 8: optimism with you know, with Liam Cohen, what he did
34:39
Speaker 8: with Baker Mayfield and that offense taken off, that kind
34:41
Speaker 8: of stuff. But and then of course there's a vested
34:44
Speaker 8: interest here in Colorado because of Travis Hunter, who's obviously
34:47
Speaker 8: not playing, but Travis was such a big deal here
34:50
Speaker 8: in Colorado, So you know, I think there was a
34:52
Speaker 8: there was kind of an eye on that as far
34:54
Speaker 8: as that kind of stuff goes. But yeah, I think
34:56
Speaker 8: in the wildest dreams. I don't think anybody here would
34:58
Speaker 8: have predicted.
34:59
Speaker 4: This has been the most important part of Sean Payton's
35:04
Speaker 4: addition to this franchise and what has he brought that
35:07
Speaker 4: that was missing over the last seven eight years.
35:10
Speaker 8: Standards, he raised the floor. Whatever you think of Sean Payton,
35:14
Speaker 8: and you know, honestly, the resume between Sean Payton and
35:17
Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy is not really that different. Whatever you think
35:20
Speaker 8: of him. At the end of the day, seven and
35:22
Speaker 8: nine is the floor. He's got Standards seven and nine
35:25
Speaker 8: is going.
35:25
Speaker 3: To be the floor.
35:26
Speaker 8: And so I think that's what it was. You look
35:29
Speaker 8: at who was there before him and Nate Hackett, and
35:32
Speaker 8: that's someone I'm sure you guys Jacksonville a little bit
35:33
Speaker 8: familiar with. You know, Nate was Nate was a fun guy.
35:36
Speaker 8: Everybody liked Nate Hackett. But the question was could he coach?
35:41
Speaker 8: And he certainly answered that with a resounding no. I
35:45
Speaker 8: think it's and I'll give you a little anecdote here.
35:47
Speaker 8: I think it's it's funny, it's it's weird in hindsight
35:50
Speaker 8: when he was here, uh, and he's he's paling around
35:52
Speaker 8: with the media practice a little bit and said, Hey,
35:54
Speaker 8: you want to get out there run a route real quick?
35:56
Speaker 8: And I'm like, what are you doing here? This is
35:57
Speaker 8: I mean, you've got limited reps in a professional fotball
36:00
Speaker 8: setting and you're asking a reporter if they want to
36:02
Speaker 8: want to run around and practice, like what are we
36:04
Speaker 8: doing here?
36:04
Speaker 4: Yeah?
36:05
Speaker 8: That would never fly with Sean Payton, as much more
36:07
Speaker 8: difficult and less genial as he is. There's certainly a
36:11
Speaker 8: level of professionalism and a standard here, you know in
36:16
Speaker 8: Denver that was missing before Ben Ginger.
36:18
Speaker 4: All bright with us koa radio in Denver. He's got
36:21
Speaker 4: his quarterback now too. Apparently bow Next seems like the
36:24
Speaker 4: guy for the future here, right, I.
36:26
Speaker 3: Mean that's the way it looks.
36:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know Bo.
36:29
Speaker 8: I mean if you look statistically, honestly, Bo isn't appreciably
36:32
Speaker 8: better than Russ other than not taking sacks, which which
36:35
Speaker 8: Russ would you know, I think everybody knows how Russ
36:37
Speaker 8: does with that. Russ had a few more fumbles, but
36:39
Speaker 8: the difference otherwise isn't appreciably different. I mean, the offense
36:43
Speaker 8: looked bad for three quarters with Russ, and then he
36:44
Speaker 8: would pull something out of his backside and have a
36:46
Speaker 8: game winning drive when Sean was here. But the cost
36:49
Speaker 8: difference is something else too. It allows you with this
36:52
Speaker 8: rookie contract to be able to pay this defense, you know,
36:55
Speaker 8: and that's I think right now we're trying to see
36:58
Speaker 8: if bow can grow into something a little bit more
37:00
Speaker 8: because when it comes time to pay him, and you're
37:02
Speaker 8: not going to be able to be able to pay
37:04
Speaker 8: the offensive line what you're paying them, and you know,
37:07
Speaker 8: and the defense, everybody on defense and all that kind
37:09
Speaker 8: of stuff, you'll need a quarterback. It's able to carry
37:11
Speaker 8: a football team. And Bo has has the week's gone on,
37:14
Speaker 8: continue to mature and kind of point that that's the
37:17
Speaker 8: direction they're headed. So that's been a big part of it.
37:20
Speaker 8: I think his kind of energy is infectious. He's a
37:23
Speaker 8: football dude. He grew up around ball, his dad as
37:25
Speaker 8: a coach. You know, He's just kind of got that,
37:29
Speaker 8: you know, that football is my life mentality, and dudes
37:31
Speaker 8: tend to gravitate to that.
37:32
Speaker 4: Benjamin Albright KOA Radio in Denver, hosts and reporter covering
37:36
Speaker 4: the Broncos on their flagship radio station. The full conversation
37:40

38:21
Speaker 4: two thousand.
38:22
Speaker 3: Be a nice stocking stuffer.
38:24
Speaker 4: Jeff Logman back with us now Jaguars Broncos. What's a
38:28
Speaker 4: part of this game that I mean, we see all
38:31
Speaker 4: the headlines and all the notes the league puts out.
38:33
Speaker 3: The bigger the game, the more notes come out.
38:35
Speaker 4: All the things that we know about the offense, both defenses.
38:38
Speaker 4: What's something we're missing in this game that might stand out?
38:42
Speaker 5: I don't think we're missing anything. I mean, when you
38:44
Speaker 5: have big games like this, it's like everything, you've gone
38:47
Speaker 5: over to the nth degree, And I mean in one
38:51
Speaker 5: area that we really haven't talked much about as special teams.
38:55
Speaker 5: And we talked a little bit earlier a while back
38:58
Speaker 5: about the the talent of the returners in this game,
39:02
Speaker 5: which both of them have great skill sets, but the
39:06
Speaker 5: kickers have not been talked about much. By the way,
39:08
Speaker 5: congratulations to Cam Little for being the fastest or the
39:12
Speaker 5: youngest in NFL history to make fifty field goals in
39:15
Speaker 5: a career, which is tremendous. He's such a young guy
39:18
Speaker 5: and such a strong leg. But yeah, I don't think
39:21
Speaker 5: anything has gone uncovered, no stone unturned, whatever you want
39:25
Speaker 5: to call it, you know, I mean.
39:26
Speaker 3: This is.
39:28
Speaker 5: A fantastic matchup that this is one of those things
39:31
Speaker 5: where you get your popcorn ready.
39:34
Speaker 3: Excited to see.
39:35
Speaker 4: As we talked about earlier as well, Cam Little in
39:37
Speaker 4: pregame war us to see what the range could be.
39:41
Speaker 4: Depends on whether certainly wind and all that, but a
39:44
Speaker 4: mile high, this is where you might see something flirting
39:48
Speaker 4: with a record.
39:50
Speaker 5: Well, I mean you could, but you got to have
39:51
Speaker 5: I meant to have. The actual opportunity is very rare.
39:55
Speaker 5: I mean, everything's got to align perfectly for something like
39:59
Speaker 5: that to happen. And but you know, one of the things,
40:02
Speaker 5: you know, because we talked about the Jaguars offense versus
40:05
Speaker 5: their defense, and they play a lot of man and
40:07
Speaker 5: the opportunities that could be there, My biggest concern is
40:11
Speaker 5: is that stop in Courtland Sutton just because me he's
40:15
Speaker 5: the go to guy and he's the third down guy,
40:19
Speaker 5: he's the fourth down guy. When there's a critical moment,
40:22
Speaker 5: bow Knicks is going to find a way to look
40:24
Speaker 5: his direction. And with bow Knicks, he's not Lamar Jackson,
40:31
Speaker 5: he's not Patrick Mahomes, but he has that ability to
40:35
Speaker 5: extend plays. And when you have plays that get extended,
40:39
Speaker 5: you don't want to lose somebody that's down the field.
40:43
Speaker 5: So the coverage that the Jaguars are going to have
40:45
Speaker 5: to be able to they're going to have to carry
40:47
Speaker 5: it a little bit longer. And you'll probably hear James
40:52
Speaker 5: Campanelli talk about sticky coverage or Liam Cohne talk about
40:55
Speaker 5: sticky coverage and plaster to guys, and that's those are
40:59
Speaker 5: all terms. And the quarterback extends the play, the coverage
41:03
Speaker 5: has to extend as well, and that's something that's going
41:06
Speaker 5: to be imperative in this game just because of bo
41:08
Speaker 5: Nix's ability to, as Tony talked about, keep his eyes
41:12
Speaker 5: down the field and get out of the pocket and
41:14
Speaker 5: all those kind of things.
41:16
Speaker 4: Let's return and get our final thoughts ahead of this
41:18
Speaker 4: massive showdown in the AFC the Jaguars and the Broncos
41:21
Speaker 4: coming up in Week sixteen, This Sunday at Mile High
41:25
Speaker 4: and this is jags HQ on Jaguars Radio.
41:30
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
41:35
Speaker 1: right now.
41:36
Speaker 4: Final moments of jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida
41:40
Speaker 4: on the Jaguars Radio Network. JP Shadwick with Jeff Logerman.
41:43
Speaker 4: The Jaguars and the Broncos four h five kickoff time
41:46
Speaker 4: Eastern from Mile High in Denver. Countdown a kickoff three
41:52
Speaker 4: o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network. Both teams have clinching scenarios.
41:56
Speaker 4: The Broncos would clinch the AFC West with a win
41:59
Speaker 4: and a charge loss. The Broncos could clinch the number
42:03
Speaker 4: one seed with a win and a Chargers loss, Bill's
42:06
Speaker 4: loss and Patriots loss all in Week sixteen. The Broncos
42:11
Speaker 4: last won the AFCUS back in twenty fifteen when they
42:13
Speaker 4: won Super Bowl fifty. Of course it's been the Chiefs
42:15
Speaker 4: Division ever since then. They are out of the playoffs.
42:19
Speaker 4: The Jaguars woll clinch the playoff berth with a win
42:22
Speaker 4: and a Texans or Colt's loss. In Week sixteen, Houston
42:26
Speaker 4: at against Las Vegas, Indy against San Francisco on Monday night.
42:29
Speaker 4: Football all comes down to just handling your business first.
42:34
Speaker 5: So did you say Houston's at Vegas that they're they're
42:37
Speaker 5: not losing.
42:38
Speaker 3: Okay today San fran that could happen.
42:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, Philip Rivers getting the start again. It's where I
42:46
Speaker 5: think it's an Indian is that at Indianapolis Doux. Regardless.
42:51
Speaker 5: San Francisco is a good football team. They got lots
42:53
Speaker 5: that they're playing for, so I think that's going to
42:56
Speaker 5: be a tough win for Indy.
42:59
Speaker 3: But take care of your business.
43:01
Speaker 5: Like you said, that's the one thing that you don't
43:03
Speaker 5: have to worry about is that you can focus on you.
43:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, Niners at Colts on Monday night at Colts. That's right,
43:10
Speaker 3: We'll be watching that one. Yeah, you think, no doubt
43:12
Speaker 3: about it, Absolutely no doubt.
43:16
Speaker 4: But this is you know, both teams are on streaks.
43:19
Speaker 4: Broncos won eleven straight, Jaguars have won five straight. Both
43:22
Speaker 4: teams are hot right now, and somebody's got.
43:26
Speaker 3: To go crazy.
43:27
Speaker 5: Thing is that the Broncos have been in how many
43:29
Speaker 5: like one possession games? I think out of their twelve
43:33
Speaker 5: wins that they have this year, eleven of them have
43:36
Speaker 5: been one score games, and the point differential in all
43:42
Speaker 5: of the wins is like seventy points. So you're talking
43:45
Speaker 5: twelve games and like seventy I can't remember if it
43:48
Speaker 5: was seventy seven or seventy two. Was the point differential
43:52
Speaker 5: in all twelve of those wins that they have this year.
43:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, plus seventy seven and the eleven game eleven the
43:58
Speaker 4: game win streak point differential in any eleven game win
44:01
Speaker 4: streak within a season in NFL history.
44:05
Speaker 3: So it's they're due for a big help. Just what's happening?
44:09
Speaker 3: Jeff B. Logerman, J P.
44:10
Speaker 4: Shadwick are thanks to James Gladstone, Tony Vasselli, our entire crew,
44:14
Speaker 4: Brent Reebert, Joe fortunate Ido, Thanks to you for listening
