Ep. 45: Predicting Week 12: Who Will Have a Standout Game? | Jags A.M. Podcast · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Jags are a big matchup this weekend as they head
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to Houston to take on the Texans. What is your guys'
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: biggest concerns on Sunday besides CJ's route.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll go with eighty six Dalton Schultz, their tight end.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: When you watch the tape, you see that he's the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: safety valve, the security blanket, the guy who helps that
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: quarterback when things get rough and they need to extend
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: a drive.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Watch out for Dalton Schultz on Saturday.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: A revived Texans running game which Jaguars have to stop.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Zam on this Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: tay Nannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, John Osier with me as
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we get ready for the Texans game on Sunday. It's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: going to be a big one for the Jaguars. We'll
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: start out with our first big thing today, which is Texans,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: not Titans. We know Jags fans like to hate on
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the Titans, and that's fair. I think we all hate
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: on them a little bit, but the Texans may be
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the team that we need to shift our focus to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for the coming future of seeing how good this team
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: has been able to be at as quickly as they've
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: been able to do that. Doug Peterson talked a little
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: bit earlier this week about the matchup.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's game eleven, but they're all they're always big, right,
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, meantime you play your your division, they're all
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: big games and and you know, obviously we understand what
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: this team did to us, you know, a few weeks back,
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: and it's it is another you know game on the schedule,
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: a lot of football ahead still, but you know it's big.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, you don't ever want to go h and
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: two against a Division four, you know, any any year obviously,
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: but our guys, you know, our guys will respond again,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: you know, are just much likely did this week.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: It's gotta take.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: It's going to take a good week of prep and
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: they're their film study and and all that, but great
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: opportunity then as gonna be lowed. You know, they're playing
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: extremely well. We are too, and it should be a
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: good matchup.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Certainly should be a good match up. Brian, do you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: think this is the time that we should probably shift
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: some of our focus in terms of what our rival
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: is in the division and maybe focus on the Texans
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a bit.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Look the numbers say it right.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Titans are there because they were here
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: earlier than the Texans, and they gave the Jaguars their
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: first ever loss in their first ever game. And of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: course no one will ever forget nineteen ninety nine. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: these Texans have won twelve of the last thirteen and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: seventeen to the last twenty.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: And I get it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: They've had great players through the years. Andrew Johnson, JJ Watt,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Arian Foster. I mean, you can name them, but you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in the last two seasons, they haven't been as good
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: as the Jaguars, at least not on paper. The roster's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be as good, and they have beaten
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: them twice in Jacksonville. This to me is the natural
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: rivalry for the Jaguars.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned focus, and maybe that's what what it is,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: because I feel like in the last three games since
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Doug Peterson and this team has been together, the Jaguars
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: should have beaten the Texans all three times, and they
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: dusted him last year when they were focused at the
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: end of the season.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: They've given away two games against the Texans.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Frankly, the touchdown or the interception in the end zone
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: last year thrown by Trevor Lawrence, and then this year,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: twenty seven points went the Texans way off turnovers. I'm
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: gonna say it all week and people get tired of
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: hearing me say it. Play your game and play the
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: way the Jaguars can, and they win this game.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The way the Jaguars play leads into our big thing,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: number two turnovers on the menu. Jaguars defense is at
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: their best when they stop the run, and they forced turnovers,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and that seems like that might be out there for
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the taking because CJ. Stroud had gone quite a long
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: streak to start the season, hit start his NFL career
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: without having a turnover, but he had three last week,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: three interceptions last week against the Cardinals. So John, when
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you're looking at something like this, is this the game
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: where we can kind of get to a rookie quarterback
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and hopefully get some takeaways because the Jags are very
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: successful and they get to away is not as successful
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: when they don't.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: Well it's supposed to be.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's sort of the same game as
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: last week, except it gets a better team. The Jaguars
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: should be able to stop.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: This Texans running game.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: It's been good last couple of weeks, meaning the Texans
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: running game, but the Jaguars are the third best defense.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: The NFL agains to run and that feels real to me. CJ.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Stroud throws the ball downfield a lot, and as a rookie,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: when you throw, when you throw the ball downfield a lot,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: that gives more time for interceptions. It should give more
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: time in the pocket to get to them. There was
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: a reason there were no sacks last time, Brian. They
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: didn't allow the Jaguars much pass rush because they kept CJ.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Stroud on short drops. Yeah, I think this is the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: game they get to Stroud.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: It should be.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: This is a takeaway team and got none. The logic
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: tells you it's going to get some on Sunday.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'll use the number that we talked about last week.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And it's strange, but the Jaguars in the last twenty
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: games in which they have not forced a turnover have
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: not won.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: That's twenties three losses in those games.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Look, this offense played better last week, put up more points,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: look more efficient, but they're still struggling on third down
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and there were there's two red zone possessions in the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: first half, Guy where they had a chance to blow
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this game out of the water and have it over
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: at halftime, and they missed. So until this offense finds
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the rhythm or the tempo, or however you want to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: describe it, the defense needs to give them more possessions
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and better field position, shorter fields. That's what they've done
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: twenty times this year, and that's what they need to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: keep doing.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is going to be QB comparison.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: C J. Stroud has been getting a ton of love
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: nationally rightfully, so he's having one of the best rookie
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: campaigns we've seen from a quarterback in quite some time.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Tim Peterson talks about what he's seen on tape and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in person.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I mean very impressed for a rooky quarterback to come
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: in and you know, perform at this level. The way
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: he's thrown the ball, I just really admire his poise.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Quite frankly, he's putting the ball where he wants to
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: put it, meaning it's very accurate throws. You know, he's
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: got the ability to to escape and move and still
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: keep his eyes down the field. I think that's a
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: that's a unique trait for a young quarterback to be
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: able to do, you know, and they're shooting the ball
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: down the field. You know, they're making making big plays
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: down the field. And it's just what you see is
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: it's gaining it's gaining confidence each week in him and
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: his team. You know, that's a that's a reflection of coach,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: you know, Ryan Demko, and just been really impressed with him, Brian.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The Daggs are the victim of c J. Stroud and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: what he's been able to do in week three. How
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: do they not fall victim to that this time around?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And how does our quarterback, now that Trevor Lawrence is
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: kind of getting in the groove a little bit, show
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: what he's made up.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Well, let me start this answer with Shakespeare's great quote
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: about comparison.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: He called it the thief of joy.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You spend so much time trying to see what the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: other guy's got, you don't focus on how good your
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: quarterback is and vice versa. I just think this is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a great quarterback rivalry that we'll see in this division
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and I'm really looking forward to it. As far as
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: how the Jaguars attack, well, I think they do attack.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: They didn't have a lot of tape. It was just
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the third start for CJ. Stroud, now we've seen how
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they set up him on offense and how they use
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the running game and what he does, and the Jaguars
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: will try to use that against him. They'll try to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: be very confusing to the young quarterback and get pressure.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: And I think one guy who's playing well in terms
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of putting pressure on the quarterback does still have the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: sacks John, But the last couple of games, Trayvon Walker
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: has been around the quarterback and causing problems, and I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: think he comes into this game with an opportunity on
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Sunday to have a big game.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: If I'm only halfway in my coffee, so I'm not
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: going to quote Shakespeare a bit. I'll quote myself by
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: saying what I've said all week about the Jaguars. If
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: they communicate in the back end. They gave up two
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: touchdowns on communication against the Texans. Without those, it's a
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: twenty three seventeen game. It's a dramatically different game. I'm
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: telling you the Jaguars hurt themselves as much as Stroud
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: hurt them in Week three.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: I agree they're gonna get a little bit of pressure.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: I think they can get better.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I think they can get better pressure with a base
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: pass rush because Trayvon Walker is playing well, but communicating
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: the back end and Shakespearean theme.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Or not, I think the Jaguars win the game. You know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: it's interesting.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Also, I talked to foy luikin I know you did
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: two in the locker room, and he talked about those
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: communications issues and he said they've got to work on
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: those on the practice field this week. It's not something
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: that you can just rely on when you get into
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the game. They remember to talk, right, You've got to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: play by play, be able to communicate, and in particular
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: with Andre Cisco, because it's Cisco who is the quarterback
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of this defense, the guy on the deep third who
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: is going to be out there with those speed receivers
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Nico Williams and Tank Dell who are going to be
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: running down the field like they did here, So they're
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: gonna have to be able to communicate.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Communication is key. Stay with us here on Jagsam. We'll
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: be right back after the break as we go over
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: who we think some of the stars of the game
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: will be on Sunday is Welcome back to jaggs A.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I'm here today get things going. For ten years, Dreamfinders'
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Homes has been proud to call themselves the official homebuilder
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Visit dreamfinders homes dot com for
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: all of the available inventory and go Jaguars back here today,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: we're talking Texans all day, so let's take a look
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: at who we think might be some of the you
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: know Notsir's stars, but will have a big impact on
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the game as we look forward. I think Andre Cisco
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Brian so you're gonna go He's gonna have a big
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: impact one way or another.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Form Why he will, he won't, he might.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going with Cisco, and Cisco will be the guy
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: who determines if Jaguars get those takeaways. This quarterback will
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: put the ball up. He did three times last week,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: including one of the first half, and he has four
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: times in the.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Last two games.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And Cisco is that guy who early on in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: season was around almost every takeaway. Look, he got beat
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: last week with the miscommunication on the deep route to
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins. And he's the guys who had to miss
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: communication on Tank Dell's forty eight yard completion to set
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: up a touchdown back in week three. I think Cisco
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: will turn it around and be a much more effective
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: communicator with the front seven this week against C. J.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Stroud, and that doesn't mean necessary. I don't know that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: he will come up with a takeaway.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: It doesn't always happen that way, but if he does,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: he's the kind of guy with the athletic ability with
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the vision to take a big play and take it back.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So maybe he grabs a pick six love.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: Six prediction b lock it down.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I hope they have a celebration ready to go. I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: sure they do. Probably got more than one at this point. John,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: whom you got this week are you looking at?
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: I went with Evan Ingram. He will, I think be
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: an important part of the game plan. It's so hard
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: in this offense to be the main guy these days
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: because there's five different guys that they can feature. So
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: when you say main guy, he won't necessarily have a
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: one hundred yard game out of that focus because I
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: think that's still going to be left to Calvin. Really,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I think Calvin really has a huge game on Sunday,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: But Evan might score his first touchdown of the season,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: and that I'd say it's been frustrating him, but he's
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: waiting for it. I think maybe, like the Tennessee game
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: up there last year. I think you might see Evan
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: up toward one hundred yards with a little bit more
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: downfield than he's had so far this year. He's been
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: sort of the bailout guy a little more than he
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: was last year.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: I think he might be featured a little bit more
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: this week.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Brian, I love to see an Evan Ingram game. He
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: always kind of surprises you when he goes off a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: little bit, and that's an usually good thing for the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: offense because that means for having a good day. Well.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: When the other team forgets about him, he's really dangerous.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: He's very good.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: When he's the focal point and when he's being guarded,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: but there's sometimes it's hard to always guard everybody.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Don't forget about him.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: He might have had a big touchdown catch last week
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: if Trevor I'd led him on that ball on the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: sideline instead of thrown a shore.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Where could have been? Where could have been? We'll have
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to find out this although he was Jay Jones this
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: week for my pick. If he will, he won't. He might.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: We saw him back in action last week for the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: first time since he's been dealing with that injury. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: think he will be a key in getting a change
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: here in the third down problems that this team has
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: been having. And that's just because he's in safety valve
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: first harbor. Lawrence. Obviously we talked and saw a lot
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of how Calvin Ridley benefited from the return. I don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: think Zay Jones he won't leave the team in catches.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I think Calvin will still be kind of a main focus,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: especially since they've got that timing down after last week
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and those two touchdowns, So I think that will still
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: remain a focus. But he might find the end zone
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: because if he's at dafety valve on third down and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: kind of can help them get the chains moving, he
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: might end up being in the target and the end
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: zone when they get down in the red zone and
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: they have those third down problems as well. Brian, I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: know you're hoping they could switch over on the third
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: down problems.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a problem.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Hadn't been great, all right? Say with us coming up,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: we'll do a little this or that with you after
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the break here in Ta say, price dot com is
• 13:05

  Speaker 1: triveprice dot com today, this Rice dot com presenting this
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: or that for us today is we try to compare
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of things. See what we think might happen
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: in the game. Brian, what are you looking at when
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it comes to Week twelve against the text?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Real simple?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Is it the AFC South Title game? Or is it
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: just game eleven?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Week twelve?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: John, what do you think?
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's AFC's South Title game, but I
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: think it might be if the Jaguars win it. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I guess what I mean by that is if the
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Texans win, it's still tied, and everybody says, well, the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Jaguars schedule is so tough, the Texas schedules soft, they
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: would pull away. The reality is, if the Jaguars lose
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: this game and they go five and one the rest
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: of the season tess to go four and two, then
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: this game really wasn't a big deal except for seeding.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: So it's big, don't get me wrong, But I'm not
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: sure it's the title game. If the Jaguars win it,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: it might be because it's two games.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I saw an Oddsmaker series. The Jaguars win, they have
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a ninety percent chance of winning the Vision.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of ground to make up if the
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: Jaguars win.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I think it might be more problematic if they don't win,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: only because of the implications of what that has going forward.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: This team, we know has had issues not bouncing back
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: because they've bounced back a well from a lot of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: their losses. But I think sometimes when the confidence gets
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in there, that can be a problem for them. So
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that would be more my someone has your number sort
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of thing, younger quarterback team in the division, that would
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: be my concern probably, But.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I think the Texans win this, then it becomes
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: a huge storyline when they play next year because all
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, this is the team that has your number,
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: so to speak. So it's important for that. I went
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: with the biggest concern, biggest position group for the Jaguars
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: is it the secondary or the defensive line, And there
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: was so much talk after that first Houston game at
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: the defensive line no sacks against the beat up offensive line,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: with the Texans have only given up eleven sacks since
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: giving up eleven in the first two games, the offensive
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: line was not as bad as it looked in the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: first two games, so I think the biggest, the most
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: important area of the Jaguars defense is the secondary. Darius
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Williams gave up two long touchdowns in that first game.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: He has had an outstanding season, two plays in that
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: game were probably his two worst plays of the year.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I've been saying it all week. I'm a broken record
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: on it. Communicating the back end, and that game's a
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: lot different. I think communicating in the back end, the secondary,
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: how they play. CJ's going to take shots at you.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: How you pass that test will decide this game.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: And the Dragars might be without CJ. Tyson Campbell against CJ. Stroud.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: We don't know what his status is going to be.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Dougall say later today, day to day, right,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and he'll be listed as questionable if not out. So
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you're going to go with Buster Brown again, and he's
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: played well at times this year. However, last week there
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: were a couple of moments where they were able on
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the few passes they completed to make him back off
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit. On DeAndre Hopkins and Nico Collins is
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: another big receiver.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: It's the secondary for me too, and it kind of
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: stinks because I feel like even the players that have
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: gone in like Buster Brown or whoever else. They've stepped
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: up and they've played really well. Unfortunately, it's that one play, right,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: which is the nature of the position. But when you're
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: giving up that one huge play two maybe three times,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that's the difference in a game, and that was the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: difference in some of their games, and they gave up that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Cisco gave up that long play to the Titans last week,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: So that's a little bit concerning. So communication. Hopefully that
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: comes together a little bit and we don't see a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: lot of those. And if you take away the home
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: run ball, then that kind of takes away a lot
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the Texans game, So that'll be good. I went
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: with offense for mine of who we think might be
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a breakout star breakout Day saw Trevor Lawrence kind of
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: get going two touchdowns on the ground, two touchdowns throwing
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: last week. But Eatn has been the mainstay in this
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: offense throughout the year. So who do we think might
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: have a bigger day on Sunday? John, Who are you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: looking at that might do a little bit better on offense?
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: Well, it's hard.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I love Etn and this isn't really him. It's hard
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: to pick him to have a breakout day because they
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: have struggled so much for consistency in the running game,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: because the offensive line just hasn't blasted out very many holes.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: So if I'm gonna pick a breakout day, I'm always
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: gonna pick Trevor in this because he has a better
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: chance to do it. If ETN has a breakout day,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: they win the game.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I'll take Travis. He had a sixty two yard touchdown run.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I think it was sixty two yards in Houston last year.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: The game, it was early, the Didjagwars blew them out,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: but it was a statement play and I think he's
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: capable of delivering that. Also, the offensive line played better
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: last week. I would expect Walker little inside to continue
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: to get better playing a position that he's never really played.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that this defensive line, although they're okay,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you know, Sheldon Rankins, got to get underneath you and
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: fill some gaps. I think they should be able to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: find some holes in this defensive line and be able
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: to run the ball.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: And you know what it is with.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Trevor Or part of the Travis it's you know, two
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: and a half yards two and a half yards twenty
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: five yards, right, I think that's gonna be available to
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: him on Sunday.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I hope both of them go off, But selfishly,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I like Trevor to just to see a little bit
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: of a shootout. I think that might be fun for us.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, I know John doesn't like the drama.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I like. I like the drama. The last second win,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that's always fun for me. Say with us, we'll preview,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I have our final previews, and we'll pick who we
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: think is gonna win on Sunday in Houston. JAG's fans,

  Speaker 1: Someone else is cooking, Yeah, someone else is definitely cooking.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, I love the meal.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not a great, big fan of any red food,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: so cranberry sauce beats all that stuff I can do without.

• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I love to cook, and I love everything about this holiday.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I'll go to Public's late tonight and fight for the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: last can of yams.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm kidding, but I just, I just I
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: love it. I love it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: It's football, it's family. It's my favorite week of the year.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: And I will be cooking two turkeys, smoking one, frying another,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and I just I enjoy that whole process.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, all the things we love all wrapped up in one.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: As we look a little bit ahead to that Texans
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday, it's gonna be a great week altogether.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: You think the JAG's come out with a win in
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this one, Brian, I do, and it's because I think
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: they were better football team, right.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I mean c J.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Stroud has in a revelation this year, but he's turned
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: the ball over six times the last two weeks. Denigo
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Ryans is a Coach of the Year candidate with an
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: offensive Rookie of the Year candidate playing for him. They've
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: done a lot of really good things. I think the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Jaguars learned a big lesson against the forty nine ers,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and they are very mindful of the fact that they
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: have to play their best football every Sunday from here
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: on out.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: You can't have a down moment.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: And I just got the sense talking to guys in
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the locker room this week that they're prepared for this,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and so I think they come away with a win.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: It might come down to a field goal at the end.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: They've got a strong legged kicker, so be it just come.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Away with a win.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm guessing the players went back sort of just
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: like I did this week, and realized they gave the
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: game away in Week three, even though it was a
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: twenty point game, they drove inside. They had three drives
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: that didn't inside. It didn't end inside. The Texans fifty
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: one was an interception, one was the last drive of
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: the game, and one was on the forty six. They
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: never had a three and out. It was a twenty
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: seven points on turnovers and you had two mental areas
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about you had a field goal block, you
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: had a field goal missed. Don't do those things. Just
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: play smart and relatively error free, and you're the better team.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's gonna be easy. The textans are coming,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: but I think that lesson will have them focused knowing, hey,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: if we don't play well, these guys will beat us.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: If we do, we're fine.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: So I think that makes it a game where you
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: can play your game, not have to press, just do
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: what you do.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: And this is the time of year Ki, you know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: late November Thanksgiving, where the contenders separate themselves in the NFL.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: And the Jaguars believe they're a contender and they have
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: a quarterback who plays really well in this situation based
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: on what we saw last year, I expect him to
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: come out and play really well also, and I think
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: that's the difference.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Here's hoping for Jaguars win this holiday weekend. We wish
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you all happy Thanksgiving and enjoy it with your families
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and your friends and enjoy the game on Sunday. We'll
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: be back here on DIAXAM on Monday to recap
