  Speaker 1: Welcome into tag Dam this Wednesday, and Kay Nannie Stevens,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, and John Osier are with me today as
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we recap some of Week.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: One while also looking forward to Week two.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Now. There was a spirited.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Press conference from head coach Doug Peterson on Monday. We're
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: going to go over some of that with you right now.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We'll start out with big thing number one, closing out. Obviously,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: that was an issue for the team last year and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it was an issue.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: In Week one.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Had a great first half against the Miami Dolphins, but
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: then couldn't quite get things done in the second half.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson talked about the issues.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: So you make that play right, you're in the anzones
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: twenty four to seven at the end of the third, right,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: and then you're kicking off as opposed.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: To giving them the ball to twenty. You know we
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: can stand here and play sugar wold. It coulda all
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: day long. Bottom line is, you know, we did not
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: do enough to finish the football game.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: And these are all the things that as coaches and players,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: you know, we need to fixed.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: We need to fix and get corrected before you know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Before this week, right, I think we all played Monday
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: morning quarterback with game one of the season because of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: how things ended. But looking back at things now, is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it as simple as you know it was that fumble
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that did everything? Or was it more to it than that?
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: No, they had more time, you know.
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: I mean in the fourth quarter alone, there was a
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: missed block in the run game on the left side
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: and a miss chip by a back on the right side.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Both that Blue plays up.
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: There was a quarterback misread down the field on the progression.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: There's enough blame to go around in a lot of places.
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: In the end, this team has to finish. And I'd
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: be frustrated if I was Doug too, because how do
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: you finish well?
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: You just do it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: You work all week on the practice field, you're in
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: the meeting room. You know what the assignment is. The
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: key to this team is winning one of these close
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: games and reminding themselves, John.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: That they know how to win a close game.
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: And by the way, the vast majority of games in
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: professional football are won in the fourth quarter by less
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: than eight points. You're gonna see this week in and
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: week out.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's what the league is.
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: And you know, Kyle, answer your question, yes, I think
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: had they scored instead of Travis et and fumbling anything
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: win the game, but that was not the entire game.
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: They still led by what ten points at that point,
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: there was plenty of ways to win the game. When
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: Doug gave that answer, it was very much. I got
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: a feeling he'd answered a few questions trying to sum
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: up the game, and he said, look, we just have
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: to finish the game. And as Brian said, this is
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: what the league is. If you play seventeen games, eleven
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: of them are going to come down to that last
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: seven minutes. They were really good at that for eleven games.
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: Last year, they've been really bad at it for seven games.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: If they don't get good at it, they're not gonna
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: be a good team.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I think a little extra salt in the womb because
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of how things finished last year.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: It feels like this has been a streak.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So hopefully they can break that in the home opener
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: against the Browns this week. Our second big thing this
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: week is gonna be backup planning.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We thought a lot of.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Great things out of the defense this week under new
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: DC Ryan Nielsen, but they're gonna have to do some
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: work there in the secondary. Tyson Campbell suffering a hamstring injury.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: That's something he has dealt with before. John, He's gonna
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: be out for quite a bit of time, it sounds like,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and they're not going to rush him back, but considering
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: what he's dealt with with hamstrings before.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, unfortunately, now because it's happened a second time, this
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: is what he is until we see differently, because he's
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: gonna be aftering stand period of time. You could tell
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: on Sunday when you watched him on the sidelines.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You know he knew what it was.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: He felt it before and he was really frustrated by it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: You paid him, he's your guy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: I would think the Jarion Jones will step up and
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: have a big role. They did this Brian in training camp.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: They like DeAndre Prince, they like Monterrek Brown, they like
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: the young guys. We're gonna find out if everybody likes John.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: I can't believe you left me the easy answer here
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: because it was yours all last week when we were
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: talking about how the Jaguars would stop the Dolphins.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be on the guys up front.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Kay.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: They've got some talent.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: John just went through the list, right, Monterrek Brown, Trey Prince,
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Jarry and Jones looked good enough early on last week.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: You're gonna throw them out there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: But the key to success without Tyson Campbell really falls
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: on the big guys up front.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: They got decent.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Pressure on a quarterback that gets rid of the ball
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: in a hurry. This week they've got another. They've got
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: another quarterback who can get rid of the ball. But
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: Deshaun Watson's not playing good football right now. So my
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: sense is is that the defensive line can overcome the
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: loss of Tyson Campbell.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: For Ryan Nielson in.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: His group, this absolutely opportunity for them to see that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: moment with Deshaun kind of spiraling as well. We'll talk
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit about that later in the show, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: later on in the week close things out with big
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: thing Number Tis. That's O line play.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: We've all been.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Discussing it for weeks and weeks and weeks months, probably
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: at this point, saw some good things from the O lines.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson talked about it on Monday.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: We US coaches offensive coaches felt like our offensive line
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: was taking.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Over the football game.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: And when you get.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: In that sort of frame of mind, the idea, especially
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: when they're when the big guys are feeling it a
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: little bit.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: As we say, is you.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Continue to run the football right, And if that's by design,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: then then that's what we did.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: If it's by execution, then that's what we did.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: If it's by our offensive line playing well, then that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: what we did.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: John.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of questions about the play calling
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: at the latter end of the second half, and according
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, he felt like the O line was playing well,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the running game was doing well, and they stuck with it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Is that all it was?
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Well, I think the play calling the second half did
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: absolutely come down to They had fifty plays for the
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: whole game. I think it was twenty three in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: second half. I think I have that number right. Look,
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: if you have very many plays, it's hard to call
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: very many runs or passes. They clearly felt and if
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: you watched the game, you felt the two they could
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: run and they felt like they could dictate with that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: They felt like they were getting it. It was hot,
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: so usually when you have weather like that, you can
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: start leaning on the defensive line and get more of it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: It's the old thing, Brian. The offensive line was really
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: good on Sunday except when it wasn't ye, And it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: very much the position in football that it's always going
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: to be judged on its worst moments.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: It's the only position like that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: But it was good enough, I think, Brian to give
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: you a hope that they can run ran better than
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: they did.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: All last season.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: I agree, but it's still.
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: Those moments, and you know, it's supposed to be more
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: consistent in winning time, which in the fourth quarter on
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: Sunday felt like it wasn't as good as that for three.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: You know, John, people are going to evaluate the line
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: based on three plays. The first play, which was a
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: sack on Anton Harrison, and then those two sacks on
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: second down and on third down on their final drive.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: So I asked around. I know you did too. And
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: it turns out that on that second down sack, that
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: looked like it looked like Trevor held.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: The ball too long.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: But of course people are gonna blame the offensive line
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: when the quarterback is thrown to the ground. Turns out
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: there was a progression mistake, right, and perhaps Trevor held
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: the ball because he made the wrong read. It still
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: looks like the offensive line failed because we don't know
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: that during the course of the game. And then, as
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: I mentioned earlier, Anton Harrison looks like he totally whiffs
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: on Jaln Phillips on that third down sack.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: But come to find out in.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Asking the question, the back is supposed to be over
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: their chipping. Anton Harrison had inside position thinking he had
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: help on the outside. There was no help there. So
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: it looks like Anton Harrison had a bad day. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: even thought it looked like he had a bad day.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: Started the game with the sack, ended the game with
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: the sack.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Not so, But we don't know.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: That until we have a chance to talk a little bit.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: I think the offensive line is gonna be just fine.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Do you need Cam Robinson to stay on his feet
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: on fourth down and one, yeah, Do you need Brandon
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: Sheriff to hold up in the running game on third
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: down in the third quarter?
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: You need guys to play individually a little bit higher.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: But there's real potential for this offensive line to be
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: a solid unit in the not too distant future.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I hope we can expect a better game out of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Anton Harrison. Obviously not what we saw from him last year,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: so hopefully we can see a good bounce back this week.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Say it's here on Jagzam. Come up.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: We'll do a little this or that after the break.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Jags fan c Fields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury autogroup. Go
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to Fields Auto dot com. This o's this, Welcome back
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to jag Zam.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: We're gonna do a little this or a little that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the game and we'll talk about
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: kind of how we're looking at things going forward. Obviously
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: things they can go the way we wanted in the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: season opener, so hopefully how we can change those things around.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: We did see good things from the running game early,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but obviously issues with both Travis Etn putting the ball
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: on the floor, which you never want to see, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: then also Tank bigs to be not picking up some
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of those blocking plays, which has been an issue kept
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: him off the field last year. So what's a bigger
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: concern to you guys? Is Etn going to be a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: fumbling issue again or is Tank going to figure out
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: how to do these coverages so he can stay on
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: OK. I'd be stunned if Travis is a fumbling issue
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: all season, and I want to say that's because of this.
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: I think he had five and twenty twenty two, which
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: was his first year, had none last year, So I
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: don't consider Travis a fumbler. I think the other day
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: I think he was getting ready to go and cover
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: the ball, and I think Holler made a great play.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Was great play.
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: So look, I was a big, big John Reagan's fan
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: back in then. Probably my favorite player of all time
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: wasn't a fumbler.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: Guess what.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: He fumbled occasionally, So you're going to fumble if you
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: carry the ball. In the National Football League, I think
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: the going to have an issue the coaching staff, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: I don't mean a problem, but an issue. It's a
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: one back scheme. Both of these guys have strengths. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: think the question for the running backs to me is
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: clearly a tank needs to run the ball, and Travis,
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: to me, feels like a guy who's going to get
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: a few yards few yards and a bit, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: needs carries to get that pop. How do you find
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: the hot hand, how do you find the right balance.
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: It's a good problem to have ran, but I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: it's going to be something that they have to figure
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: out how to get these guys in the game at
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: the right time.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: Well, you ask the question what's more concerning, and to
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: me right now, Tank is more concerning because he was
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: the back on the field in that key situation at
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: the end of the game with four twenty two.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Left to play.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: If you only put Tank in on running situations, the
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: defense will adjust right and if you can't trust him,
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: And by the way, the coaches went out of the
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: way to say they did trust him based on the
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: way that he played in training camp and in the preseason.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: So he was on the field late in the game
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: because they trusted him. But if he doesn't shore that up,
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: if he doesn't lock that down, John, than he's not
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: going to be on the field in key situations. He's
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: just going to be the reserve back who gives them
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: a breather in the second and third quarter.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: But when the game's on the line, it's going to
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: be number one out there.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because it's a I'm called pass first offense. But
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: this offense needs to pass and be effective. So a
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: back has to be able to function in the passing
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: game better than he did in that big situation.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: So you saw Bigsby off the four yard line goes
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: for twenty six on the drive where Travis fumbled and
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: gave them a position where they could now throw the ball,
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: they could do what they wanted. He's a really good
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: football player and an important part of what they want
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: to do. But he's got to shore up the assignments
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: in protection otherwise they can't trust him to be on
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: the field.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Something to keep an eye on in the second week
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: as they take on the Browns this week, see which
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: way they kind of go with that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Who gets the ball more?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Also, two out of character games, I'll say Evan Ingram
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk. They've been wonderful for this offense for
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the past couple of seasons.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Both of them very sure handed.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Saw definitely one drop from Christian maybe another questionable one.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Evan didn't get any really his way, or had a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: couple of his way, but didn't come down with them.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Who do you think bounces back first? I hope they
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: both bounce back at the same time. But who's most important?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Who do you think we'll get it right? Right?
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Well, if both isn't the option, I'll go with Christian
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: because I Miami took away Evan right. I mean, they
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: did everything they could they understand. He caught one hundred
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: and fourteen passes the year before. He is one of
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: the quarterback's favorite targets. He's the safety valve who came
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: out by the way, can make a big play down
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: the field too. So my guess would be that the
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: Browns will again try to take him out and that
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: will open things up.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: For Christian Kirk. This week and the next week we'll
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: see the Bills try to cover Kirk and it should
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: open things back up for Evan.
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's an interesting approach Miami took because they did
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: one Evan out of the game. He had been so
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: good last year. But I always maintain you don't want
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: Evan catching nine passes a game. I'm sure Evan would
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: like kept nine passes a game, but you would rather
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: have that be more of a safety valve. Last year,
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: to me, it felt like he was the running game
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: the passing game rolled into one. I'll say, because you
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: said Christian, I'll go with Evan as a bounce back game,
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: just because I don't think he's going to be limited
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: to one for five.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: I think they would like him.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: To be about a five for sixty type guy most
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: of the season because if he's getting that, then that
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: means you know there are weapons in this scheme that
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: you would rather have going downfield than Evan Ingram. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: I'd say he bounces back. I don't want to see
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: him bounce back to one hundred. I love Evan, I'm
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: sure everyon would love one hundred, but for the offensive sake,
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: bounce back to that middle where you're sort of the
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: engine and the option on third down.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: Five key catches, probably three that converts important third downs.
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: I mean five for sixty, and I would agree with you.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: I think that's where he is in the sweet spot,
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: making important catches.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I think an outlier game for both of them, just
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: seeing how sure handed and trustworthy they've been so far.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I have to that won't hope we don't see that again.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Stay with us here on Jagsam.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: We'll look around the AFC South see what else is
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: going on within the division. For eleven years, dream Finders'
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Homes have been proud to call themselves the official home
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: builder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Visit dreamfinders' Homes dot com
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: for all of the available inventory and go Jags.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Welcome you back into jagxam on this Wednesday.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: We're gonna look around the AFC South a little bit
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: because it's number too early to keep an eye on
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: what everybody else is doing. Three of the teams O
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: one one, Team one and zher start up with the Titans,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: who belt the Bears, a team that did not score
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: an offensive touchdown but still won the games. So that's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: another team that the Jags are gonna play. They'll play
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: them in London as well, so good to keep an
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: eye on both of them.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But Titans, do you have some issues?
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Well, they have Will Levis, right, and Will is a
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: strong armed quarterback. Where we just talked about those guys, right,
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: I mean, he can really throw the deep ball.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: But they signed Calvin Ridley, who doesn't run precise routes.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: I mean when they did that, I was like, wow,
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: he had fifty yards receiving. I think the other day
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: I don't think they know what they are.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: They were with Derrick Henry a pound the ball, bring
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: the safeties of the line of scrimmage, go over the
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: top of DeAndre Hopkins or whoever the big receiver was.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: And now they are a different type of team, new coach,
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: new scheme.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: New players.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: I think their work in progress almost all season long
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: as they try to identify what they do.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna sort of do a broad brush over
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: the whole division if you're looking at it objectively. The
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: first week played out sort of exactly as you'd expect.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: The Texans, who I think most people think are the
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: best team in the division, won a game that it felt
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: like they were in control of pushed over a good
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: team in the division, the Colts. The Jaguars, frankly are
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: were a nine and eight team last year. They had
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: a chance to beat another team that really didn't beat
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: anybody good last year and beat a lot of bad
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: so a nine and eight ten seventeen.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: They played a.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: Close game, so you feel like, okay, well Jaguars eight
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: and nine, nine and eight, that's how they played the
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: other day. And then the and the Titans are struggling.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: You know, they're the one team that overhauled things in
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: the offseason, so it makes sense that they would be
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: sort of trying to figure it out.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: So sort of what you'd expect.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: The shame of it is the Jaguars had such a
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: chance to feel like they were not what I just said, right,
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: So they've got to start winning some games and get
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: back to where they're Coulpete with the Titan with the
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: Texans for this game. I sili think the Titans feel
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: like a team that are going to be trying to
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: figure it out. Will know five or six weeks in
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: if they're going to figure it out in time to
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: matter this season.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Is the quarterback the guy or are they going to
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: lean on the running backs? The defense, you know, has
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: some really good players on it, but I.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: Think they're trying to shift to where all of a
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: sudden they look like all of the franchises what Levis
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: is the guy?
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: But so far because they played cave Man balling, just
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: beat people up.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: A lot of young quarterbacks in this division. A couple
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: other two C J. Stroud, of course we all know
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: very well. Also Anthony Richardson back, we didn't see a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: ton of them in his rookie season, so this is
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the first we're kind of seeing him start over his
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: rookie year again, a couple of touchdowns rushing.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: As we've seen. Is he going to figure things out exactly? Obviously?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The Cult are probably the hardest team for me to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: try to pin down in this division.
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: Well, Anthony Richardson, so far, what is it four games?
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Is going to score up with touchdowns running? Have a
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: spectacular play in the passing game, and then you wonder
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: where the consistency is outside of that, which, look, I'm
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: not criticizing when I say that he's in his fourth
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: NFL game or fifth whatever that number is up there.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: You would expect, based on his scouting report coming out
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: for him to be that right now. Can he evolve
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: to where he's more than that? To me, that'll define
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: whether or not the Colts are really really good with
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: the gig because he could be or like I said,
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: a team that pushes a team like the Texans but
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: winds up nine and eight ish.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: That touchdown that we just saw, right, the one that
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: everyone's playing on ESPN and it's all over social media,
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: that comes up every once in a while, right because
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: he's a big, strong arm guy and he threw it.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Up and let the guy go get it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: What I want to know, since those big plays don't
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: happen every Sunday, can he stand in the pocket on
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: third down and eight of his own forty five yard
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: line and read the defense and make the correct throll.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: That's what they want to know too.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we don't have any idea, and everyone listen, everyone's
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: always dazzled.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: By these dramatic, huge plays.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: But John, you used the word consistency. Can you do
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: the same thing over and over and over?
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Can you be steady?
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: Can you take the plays that are there for you
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: or do you always have to try to make this dramatic,
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: you know, highlight reel play in order for your team
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: to win.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Steady beams dramatic any day.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's what most teams that don't have it
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: are waiting for it at the quarterbackquisition.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Questions for the Texans obviously, we know how talented they are.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: CJ.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Stroud, what they've surrounded him with. What's the achilles he'll
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: going to be for them? Because I feel like he CJ.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Stroud get sacked a lot and you want to say, oh,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: we can do that, but then he makes you pay
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the next play. So like, what's the kind of I'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: sure this is many people's objective trying to figure out
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: what the game plan is for them, But how.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Do you kind of take that take him out?
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: I think the Jaguars did it last year and they
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: played him over there. You know, you you assume that
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: he's going to get some you let him not take
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: over the game and control it. They pressured him well,
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: so I think you sort of take that page.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: And and I didn't see this game, so I.
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: Don't know how the Colts tried to defend him. But
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: we saw last year in Houston this team can be
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: beat if you sort of contain C. J. Stroud and
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: don't let him be the entire game.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: You see the play we were talking, but he hit
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: his knees and he got up to his knees and
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: threw a passer first down.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: He's tremendous because he has that football He's really good.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: He has that very very good.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Factor and the Migo Ryans is one of the bright
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: young coaches in this game. So he's well coached. He
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: gets how this game is played. It's tough to make
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: him make mistakes. I don't know if there is an
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: Achilles heal for him, it will be injuries. I would
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: think along the offensive line that protects him that might
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: make him vulnerable.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We'll see in a couple of weeks as Jacksonville heads
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to Houston, think week four, yeah, four four, So we'll
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on that.

• 22:17

• 22:21
  Speaker 7: hear from him on the practice field, what they get
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: from him in the meeting room. I mean, he is
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: a high energy guy who loves ball, and it's clear
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: that the guys should play for him are enjoying it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: They certainly played faster, communicated better, very encouraging start for
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: the defense. I played well, have to win the game, Yeah, Brian.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: He treats every day like game day, no doubt.
