Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 183 | Reset After Bye Week, Approaching Trade Deadline & AFC South Race · Jags A.M.

0:16
Speaker 1: Well with the Jason kind of honestly here Brad Sexstman
0:18
Speaker 1: and John Osier. A bye week to the Jaguars last week,
0:21
Speaker 1: but now back in the full swing of things as
0:23
Speaker 1: they prepare to take on the Las Vegas.
0:24
Speaker 2: Raiders this week on Sunday.
0:26
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start with some of our big things
0:28
Speaker 1: today before you midweek here brought to you by g
0:30
Speaker 1: EJ Government Employees Health Association Benefit for federal employees and retirees.
0:35
Speaker 2: Big thing Number one is staying on schedule.
0:37
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen talked earlier this week when he looked back
0:39
Speaker 1: at the tape and some of the things he wanted
0:40
Speaker 1: to see going forward.
0:41
Speaker 3: This was his reflection on the offense, especially offensively, are
0:46
Speaker 3: on schedule, usually good things have occurred, and when you're
0:49
Speaker 3: off schedule, it's tough seletting. And we've got a couple,
0:53
Speaker 3: you know, different tweaks of how we want to try
0:56
Speaker 3: to get guys the ball and get the again our
0:59
Speaker 3: best players the ball in space, and how to stay
1:03
Speaker 3: a little bit better ahead of the chains and executing
1:06
Speaker 3: first and second down a little bit better so that
1:09
Speaker 3: third downs are a little bit more manageable.
1:12
Speaker 1: Brian, thing's never going to go completely as planned. But
1:15
Speaker 1: it would be nice if they could stay on schedule
1:17
Speaker 1: at least with the early downs early in the game,
1:19
Speaker 1: get the offense rolling a little bit.
1:21
Speaker 4: Listen on schedule as the schedule turns to November, when
1:24
Speaker 4: the contenders start to emerge and the pretenders fall away, Kyle,
1:28
Speaker 4: you know the last two games there's seven.
1:30
Speaker 5: Of thirty one on third down.
1:33
Speaker 4: Listen drop passes, you know, negative plays on first down,
1:37
Speaker 4: penalties have all conspired to put them in situations that
1:40
Speaker 4: they couldn't readily overcome, John, and so they have fallen
1:43
Speaker 4: off schedule. The running game has not been consistent, they
1:46
Speaker 4: haven't protected the quarterback.
1:47
Speaker 5: We've been through all of this.
1:49
Speaker 4: They've had two weeks now to get ready to go
1:51
Speaker 4: play a Raiders team, and they desperately need to get
1:53
Speaker 4: to a position. And I think they get there John
1:56
Speaker 4: by running the ball well on first down.
1:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, and well, you don't want and we all felt it.
2:01
Speaker 6: Most people who are watching this felt it. First play
2:04
Speaker 6: against the Rams three yard sack and oh they talked
2:08
Speaker 6: about all this all week and then here was again.
2:12
Speaker 6: So on Sunday, the last thing you want is a
2:16
Speaker 6: second and twelve on the first drive, because you just
2:19
Speaker 6: feel like that's going again. It's got to be some
2:21
Speaker 6: second and seven, third and two. Get it going. It's
2:24
Speaker 6: what it was early in the season. This all sounds
2:27
Speaker 6: so simple. It's about execution and you have to play
2:31
Speaker 6: better to get there.
2:32
Speaker 7: So we know the formula.
2:34
Speaker 6: It's a matter of if the Jaguars can be consistent
2:37
Speaker 6: and prepared enough to go get it done.
2:39
Speaker 7: Make it happen.
2:40
Speaker 1: Our second big thing today is going to be getting home.
2:43
Speaker 1: When Liam Cohen looked at the defense, he said, a
2:45
Speaker 1: lot of it is going to be about getting after
2:47
Speaker 1: it with the pass.
2:47
Speaker 3: Rush, pass rush and coverage in terms of limiting explosives,
2:53
Speaker 3: but also getting home a little bit more as well.
2:56
Speaker 3: So you look at all those things and so much
2:59
Speaker 3: of it goes into it. These guys did a lot
3:01
Speaker 3: of work as a staff from a report and communicating
3:05
Speaker 3: that now to the players, and some of those things
3:07
Speaker 3: that you want to end up getting maybe tweaked. But
3:10
Speaker 3: we're not going to go and reinvent.
3:11
Speaker 2: The wheel, John, not reinventing the wheel.
3:14
Speaker 1: We're talking about a lot of similar things, but also
3:17
Speaker 1: executing to the degree that it's helpful to their team. Obviously,
3:21
Speaker 1: we've seen some of the pass rushers near the quarterback,
3:23
Speaker 1: but getting sacks, getting to the quarterback and helping themselves out.
3:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's been a lot of because we've been breaking
3:30
Speaker 6: down two losses that are tough, there's been a lot of.
3:35
Speaker 7: Focus on the problems.
3:37
Speaker 6: I do think they have a chance to start getting
3:38
Speaker 6: the quarterback because overall they have not fallen off in
3:43
Speaker 6: stopping the run. So I do think they can keep
3:45
Speaker 6: other teams in bad down and distance, get in situations
3:50
Speaker 6: Brian to rush the passer, and then at that point
3:53
Speaker 6: it is about getting home.
3:55
Speaker 5: You know.
3:56
Speaker 7: Josh Heinzellen Treyvon Walker.
3:57
Speaker 6: To me are still the best two players in this
3:59
Speaker 6: defense that they can get Trayvon where you can use
4:01
Speaker 6: the hand. I think there's hope in this area because
4:05
Speaker 6: I don't think they're as far off from getting legitimate
4:09
Speaker 6: disruption on defense as maybe people think.
4:12
Speaker 4: What we felt like it was a really aggressive attacking front.
4:16
Speaker 4: They had fourteen takeaways, right, and then Trayvon Walker's out
4:20
Speaker 4: of the game in San Francisco, misses Kansas City, and
4:23
Speaker 4: the last two weeks playing with that club, he hasn't
4:25
Speaker 4: been nearly the same. And it's fair to say that
4:27
Speaker 4: without Trayvon Walker, in the lineup. The defense hasn't looked
4:30
Speaker 4: anything like it was early on. They've got to win
4:34
Speaker 4: on early downs and set up those pass rushing situations. Really, John,
4:38
Speaker 4: I mean, if Trayvon Walker is as good as we
4:40
Speaker 4: think he is, and he's got any use of that hand,
4:43
Speaker 4: it should free up somewhere along the line for someone
4:47
Speaker 4: to win. Oh and by the way, we talk about
4:48
Speaker 4: the pass rush, we almost exclusively talk about forty one
4:51
Speaker 4: and forty four, but it would be helpful if you
4:53
Speaker 4: know ninety one and ninety four and fifty two and
4:56
Speaker 4: the guys in the middle of the line are able
4:58
Speaker 4: to get some push and pressure. I mean, Eric Armersad
5:02
Speaker 4: was a ten set guy at one point in his career.
5:04
Speaker 4: Could he get five? Could he get six this season?
5:06
Speaker 4: That would help a lot.
5:08
Speaker 1: Leads the team right now, So we'll see what they
5:10
Speaker 1: can do in the second half of the season. Our
5:11
Speaker 1: final big thing today is going to be more on
5:13
Speaker 1: his plate. We've talked a ton about it. We finally
5:15
Speaker 1: saw kind of a breakout game from Travis Hunter on
5:17
Speaker 1: offense against the Rams, some of that in garbage time,
5:20
Speaker 1: but still seeing he's able to make those big plays.
5:22
Speaker 1: William Cohen talked about putting a little bit more on
5:24
Speaker 1: his plate as time goes on.
5:26
Speaker 3: You look at the end of the last game against
5:29
Speaker 3: the Rams with he and Trevor building on a connection
5:32
Speaker 3: and making some plays towards the end of the game.
5:35
Speaker 3: Obviously it was a lot out of reach at the time,
5:37
Speaker 3: but you're still seeing competitive throws and catches in live action,
5:43
Speaker 3: which is something we've needed. So you know, you definitely
5:47
Speaker 3: look at how much more can he handle, how much
5:51
Speaker 3: more can we put him in a position to be
5:54
Speaker 3: successful on both offense and defense, and what does that
5:57
Speaker 3: look like. So it definitely gave us an oppertate tunity
6:00
Speaker 3: as a staff to look at how we can continue
6:04
Speaker 3: to use him.
6:06
Speaker 1: Brian. We know we're gonna see more of Travis Hunter
6:07
Speaker 1: on offense now, and it feels like they're getting to
6:09
Speaker 1: that point where they've got to get him more involved
6:11
Speaker 1: in different positions as a wide receiver. We've seen what
6:15
Speaker 1: he does in the slot, but he's got that big playability.
6:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what would make this a lot easier
6:18
Speaker 4: if Brian Thomas Junior could get started. If Brian Thomas
6:21
Speaker 4: Junior holds on to a few of those passes and
6:23
Speaker 4: draws some of the attention away defense has been able
6:27
Speaker 4: to focus on Travis Hunter because they haven't had to
6:29
Speaker 4: worry as much about Brian Thomas. If you can get
6:32
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Junior started, boy, can you have a much
6:35
Speaker 4: broader usage plan for Travis Hunter. And of course if
6:40
Speaker 4: the offense is humming and you're not relying on him
6:42
Speaker 4: because he's got to play on offense, then you can
6:44
Speaker 4: get him on the defensive side a little bit more
6:46
Speaker 4: and we know what he's capable of doing on that
6:49
Speaker 4: side of the ball. I think getting seven going would
6:52
Speaker 4: have a lot to do, John with getting twelve into rhythm.
6:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really tough because seven hasn't been getting going.
7:00
Speaker 7: Couple of games.
7:00
Speaker 6: You thought Brenton Strange huge part of this, and he
7:03
Speaker 6: hasn't been there. Uh, Adami Brown hasn't quite I don't
7:07
Speaker 6: think Ben as consistent as they hope in terms of
7:09
Speaker 6: a deep threat. So now you have three things that
7:12
Speaker 6: aren't quite what you thought. I think Travis Hunter is
7:16
Speaker 6: going to be a huge focal point moving forward. I'm
7:19
Speaker 6: very curious as to how that's going to look if
7:21
Speaker 6: that's the case, because he's your most dynamic, dangerous player.
7:26
Speaker 7: Ready, How ready is he for that role.
7:28
Speaker 6: How much does he know the offense to be able
7:30
Speaker 6: to be the core?
7:32
Speaker 7: Can you handle that?
7:33
Speaker 6: He's he's uber talented and it's going to be a
7:36
Speaker 6: fascinating storyline to me and in these last ten games.
7:40
Speaker 1: All right, stay with here on jag Zam. Coming up
7:42
Speaker 1: after the break, we'll.
7:42
Speaker 8: Do a little this or that as we look forward
7:44
Speaker 8: to the game against the Raiders.
7:54
Speaker 1: JAG's fans, you want to customize Dagwars furniture for your home,
7:56
Speaker 1: check out zipchare dot com arouse all the customizable options.
7:59
Speaker 2: Zip chair is from.
8:00
Speaker 6: Fans, this this.
8:06
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a little of this or that. It
8:08
Speaker 1: was bye week, so we're gonna see if there's any
8:10
Speaker 1: big changes coming up. I for one, am curious if
8:14
Speaker 1: they might change some of the starters on the offensive line.
8:18
Speaker 1: Is now the time do you think they will or
8:20
Speaker 1: do you think they're sick of.
8:21
Speaker 2: What they have?
8:21
Speaker 5: Well?
8:22
Speaker 2: I think now like a good time to see if
8:23
Speaker 2: whyaett Mylam can play.
8:24
Speaker 4: You know, he was a guy that they were really
8:26
Speaker 4: excited about on draft day and really liked what they
8:29
Speaker 4: saw from him as they put him into the lineup
8:32
Speaker 4: during training camp before he had the knee injury. He's
8:34
Speaker 4: very strong, he is the future, so why not see
8:38
Speaker 4: if he isn't a guy who can give you something
8:40
Speaker 4: at right guard. I think Ezra Cleveland played pretty well
8:44
Speaker 4: at left guard, and Patrick McCarry had three penalties last
8:47
Speaker 4: week against the other Rams, So if I was gonna
8:49
Speaker 4: make a change, I would get Whitet Milam on the field.
8:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
8:53
Speaker 6: I don't know if they automatically do it yet, but
8:57
Speaker 6: I think that is something that will happen at some
8:59
Speaker 6: point point during the season, because, like you said, Ryan,
9:03
Speaker 6: he's going to be the starter. It's not like you're
9:06
Speaker 6: trying to plug in a guy that you don't know
9:08
Speaker 6: what his future is. So I see that happening at
9:13
Speaker 6: some point this season. Wouldn't surprise me. If it was
9:14
Speaker 6: this week or the very least. You might see a share,
9:18
Speaker 6: which they sometimes do to bring a guy along very much.
9:21
Speaker 7: At the ready.
9:22
Speaker 6: I don't think you change anything else because I don't
9:24
Speaker 6: think you want to have an entire system of moving
9:27
Speaker 6: brothers in front of Trevor Lawrence.
9:28
Speaker 7: But that makes sense.
9:29
Speaker 4: But there were a couple of guys that you heard
9:31
Speaker 4: their names mentioned during training camp as being rookies who
9:35
Speaker 4: could start. I would try to turn here. Obviously Caleb Bramshaw,
9:38
Speaker 4: but he got hurt. Mylam hasn't been in because he
9:40
Speaker 4: got hurt.
9:40
Speaker 5: So it just.
9:41
Speaker 4: Seems to make sense that you're looking at that list
9:43
Speaker 4: again and saying, these were the guys that we thought
9:45
Speaker 4: were our core players.
9:47
Speaker 5: Let's see what we get him in.
9:49
Speaker 1: Also, with the deadline approaching for the trade deadline, we've
9:52
Speaker 1: seen obviously James Gladstone not afraid to make moves in season.
9:55
Speaker 1: He's already made a couple handful of them, and I'm
9:57
Speaker 1: sure he's making calls and whatnot. Do we think that
10:00
Speaker 1: there will be a deadline move for the Jags or
10:02
Speaker 1: do you think they're going to stand up.
10:04
Speaker 6: I don't think they're going to be scared of it, meaning,
10:08
Speaker 6: you know, some Wys just don't want to do.
10:10
Speaker 7: That because the draft cap you're giving up.
10:12
Speaker 6: I think if it's there and it's somebody they think
10:15
Speaker 6: will help them, they wouldn't hesitate to do it. I
10:18
Speaker 6: could see it on the defensive interior. I've got a
10:21
Speaker 6: lot of questions about wide receiver. I don't know who
10:25
Speaker 6: you pull out of the lineup to insert a wide
10:30
Speaker 6: receiver that you would acquire, and I could see tight
10:34
Speaker 6: end if there was somebody out there. Again, it made sense.
10:40
Speaker 6: Those are gonna be three positions. I would not be
10:43
Speaker 6: surprised about you.
10:43
Speaker 2: You'd love to see help and safety as well.
10:45
Speaker 5: But it has to fit, right.
10:47
Speaker 4: I mean, you have to be bringing a guy in
10:49
Speaker 4: who isn't going to bury your cap in the next
10:52
Speaker 4: two or three years. I mean they unloaded Tyson Campbell's
10:55
Speaker 4: contract and in the process they got Greg news Tom
10:58
Speaker 4: who's on a one year deal.
11:00
Speaker 2: So it's not a long term strap to your cap.
11:04
Speaker 4: Caleb Branshaw is going to be the long term guy
11:06
Speaker 4: there at some point next year, and so you don't
11:08
Speaker 4: want to bring someone in his cap and his salary
11:12
Speaker 4: structure creates a problem. So I think you're not just
11:15
Speaker 4: looking at positions, but you've got to find great value
11:18
Speaker 4: someone that fits what you want to do with your cap.
11:20
Speaker 1: They have to be available to be trading four as well.
11:23
Speaker 1: So we'll see the Raiders game on Sunday, this team
11:26
Speaker 1: heads the Las Vegas. It's four or five games are
11:29
Speaker 1: going to be away from here coming up on the schedule.
11:32
Speaker 1: So I know we overuse this phrase a lot, but
11:34
Speaker 1: is it a must win for the team?
11:35
Speaker 2: I use a big game.
11:38
Speaker 4: No, I don't know that it's a must win, although
11:40
Speaker 4: I mean I could certainly make the case for it
11:41
Speaker 4: because you need to get some traction back. But it's
11:44
Speaker 4: a really big game because John, after the Raiders, you've
11:48
Speaker 4: got the Texans, right, and the Texans have won three
11:50
Speaker 4: of four and they're rising now. And then you've got
11:52
Speaker 4: the Chargers and they're power at five and three in
11:55
Speaker 4: the AFC, So you can't afford.
11:57
Speaker 5: To lose ground.
11:58
Speaker 2: You've got to turn the trajector.
12:00
Speaker 5: On this thing.
12:01
Speaker 4: So while it's not a must win in terms of
12:03
Speaker 4: your overall season, it sure feels like a really damn
12:05
Speaker 4: important game for this football team.
12:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not a must win because if they lose
12:10
Speaker 6: and they win nine and you're thirteen and four, Sure,
12:14
Speaker 6: But I agree with Brian, it's really big because I
12:19
Speaker 6: think as players, there's adversity and they very much wanted
12:27
Speaker 6: to win against Seattle On in LA. But you can
12:30
Speaker 6: also easily tell yourself those are two really good teams
12:33
Speaker 6: that might be playing in the NFC Championship Game. They're
12:36
Speaker 6: that level of good. The Raiders, they're two and five
12:39
Speaker 6: and they're not out of it. They're not any quit
12:42
Speaker 6: On the season mode. But anybody would say on paper,
12:45
Speaker 6: they're a team you ought to beat. You lose that one.
12:49
Speaker 6: Liam's not going to lose the locker room, but you
12:52
Speaker 6: might doubt yourself a little bit. Can we do it
12:55
Speaker 6: right now? I think this team right now believes it
12:58
Speaker 6: can do it right now. If you lose to the
13:01
Speaker 6: Raiders and you're four and foury Brian said, a tough
13:03
Speaker 6: schedule coming up, it does sort of deliver a gut
13:06
Speaker 6: punch of hey, maybe you're not as good as.
13:08
Speaker 7: You thought you were. I think they are right, but
13:10
Speaker 7: that's what it would tell then, well.
13:11
Speaker 4: This is one you better win then. I mean, just
13:13
Speaker 4: sobering thought here. Bruck Bauers is one of the best
13:15
Speaker 4: young tight ends in the game. He hasn't been playing,
13:17
Speaker 4: he's supposed to be back this week. And Max Crosby's
13:20
Speaker 4: one of the best pass rushers in the game. So
13:22
Speaker 4: and they're coming off of a thirty one to nothing
13:24
Speaker 4: thrashing at the hands of the Chiefs and their bye week,
13:27
Speaker 4: so they're going to be They're going to be licking
13:30
Speaker 4: their wounds too. I mean, you're not going in there
13:31
Speaker 4: to get somebody who's not ready to play.
13:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, until decemb I'm a big believer if you're playing
13:37
Speaker 6: teams in December January, when they're mailing it, this is
13:39
Speaker 6: still a first year coach and nobody, I'm sure nobody
13:45
Speaker 6: out there thinks there's gonna be a one and done.
13:47
Speaker 7: You're still trying to.
13:47
Speaker 6: Play for this guy, so this is not a you know,
13:51
Speaker 6: the Raiders will not be mailing it in yet.
13:54
Speaker 1: Very important game from both teams clearly coming up, we'll
13:57
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more on jag xam about what's
13:59
Speaker 1: been going on in the AFC South exam brotty by
14:10
Speaker 1: dream Finderslves. For twelve years, dream finderselves have been proud
14:13
Speaker 1: to call themselves the official home builder of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
14:16
Speaker 1: Visit dreamfindersmes dot com for all of the available inventory
14:19
Speaker 1: and go Jags welcome back in. We're gonna keep tabs
14:24
Speaker 1: on the AFC South as we always do here on Wednesday,
14:26
Speaker 1: because we want you guys to know what's going on
14:28
Speaker 1: and breaking news. The Colts are still really, really good.
14:31
Speaker 1: They got to win over the Titans, who are not
14:33
Speaker 1: very good and John is the division a runaway at
14:37
Speaker 1: this point. I know we still have a bunch of
14:38
Speaker 1: divisional games but it's not.
14:40
Speaker 6: A runaway, but it's certainly at the point where you
14:44
Speaker 6: look at the Colts and even when they have tough
14:46
Speaker 6: schedule coming up, but even when they play that tough schedule,
14:49
Speaker 6: they're playing so well, they're gonna get some of those
14:52
Speaker 6: and they what's scary about them is they look like
14:55
Speaker 6: a team right now that when they're supposed to win,
14:58
Speaker 6: they handle it, and they don't with themselves in dicey situations.
15:03
Speaker 6: So look, they're two and a half games up on
15:05
Speaker 6: the Jacks with ten to play. That seems like a lot,
15:09
Speaker 6: but it means the Jaguars can't drop for him anymore.
15:12
Speaker 7: I mean, they've got to start.
15:14
Speaker 5: It makes the Raiders game that much more.
15:16
Speaker 7: Yeah.
15:16
Speaker 6: I mean, like we were talking before the show, Ryan
15:18
Speaker 6: that they still have two games to reel them in
15:21
Speaker 6: in December. Yeah, but way the Colts are playing, you
15:24
Speaker 6: got to stay where you can reel them in.
15:26
Speaker 7: And you can't assume you're gonna bet him twice.
15:28
Speaker 5: Listen, it's tough. No, no there listening. They're seven to one.
15:31
Speaker 2: They're one of the best two or three teams in
15:32
Speaker 2: the league.
15:33
Speaker 4: Ky the running the ball so well, it's just taking
15:35
Speaker 4: all the pressure off Daniel Jones, who never handled it
15:38
Speaker 4: that well during his time with the New York Giants,
15:40
Speaker 4: but he's playing so well because Jonathan Taylor is a
15:44
Speaker 4: great running back. Their schedule does get tough. They have
15:47
Speaker 4: to go to Kansas City, They've got the Steelers, They've
15:49
Speaker 4: got Seattle and San Francisco and the Texans twice, as
15:53
Speaker 4: well as the Jaguars twice.
15:54
Speaker 5: So it does get dicey.
15:57
Speaker 4: You have a chance if you can stay within a
15:59
Speaker 4: game or two them to be able to reel.
16:01
Speaker 5: Them back in the head to head matchups.
16:03
Speaker 4: But you can't go loose to the Raiders and all
16:06
Speaker 4: of a sudden think, well we're still in this thing.
16:08
Speaker 4: You lose to the Raiders, now you're hoping for you're
16:11
Speaker 4: hoping for wild card.
16:13
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:14
Speaker 1: I think when I look at the Colts schedule, They're
16:16
Speaker 1: beginning schedule is similar to the end of our schedule.
16:18
Speaker 1: Games that you have the ability to go win those games.
16:21
Speaker 1: They clearly took care of business on their first half
16:23
Speaker 1: of their schedules. Now the Jaguars have to do that
16:25
Speaker 1: in the back half of.
16:25
Speaker 4: The Although they should have beaten the Rams in LA
16:28
Speaker 4: and they did beat the Broncos already, those are two
16:30
Speaker 4: quality wins.
16:31
Speaker 7: So are Chargers bad too? So they're they're legit.
16:35
Speaker 6: I'm not saying this team can't get legit enough to
16:37
Speaker 6: catch them, but don't think they're just going to automatically.
16:40
Speaker 7: Fall back to you.
16:41
Speaker 4: Listen, we hope that this is not We've been talking
16:43
Speaker 4: about this not being the same Jaguars team. We know
16:45
Speaker 4: that's not the same Colts team that we've seen.
16:47
Speaker 5: In recent years.
16:48
Speaker 1: And now the Texans are kind of getting back to
16:51
Speaker 1: what they do well as well. We saw them get
16:53
Speaker 1: a win over the forty nine ers. Brian we were
16:56
Speaker 1: talking earlier, just kind of seeing that offense.
16:59
Speaker 2: CJ.
16:59
Speaker 1: Stroud kind of got a little bit more comfortable. It
17:01
Speaker 1: didn't have his normal target and Nico Collins, but spread
17:03
Speaker 1: the football around, right.
17:04
Speaker 5: You know, they just kind of ham an eggit. The
17:06
Speaker 5: other day.
17:07
Speaker 4: They had three or four receivers with more than fifty
17:09
Speaker 4: yards receiving. They had two backs with over fifty yards rushing.
17:12
Speaker 4: They ran for one to fifty seven total against San Francisco.
17:15
Speaker 5: I mean the numbers.
17:16
Speaker 4: The quarterback was thirty of thirty nine for three hundred
17:19
Speaker 4: and eighteen yards and two touchdowns.
17:20
Speaker 5: But when you watched.
17:21
Speaker 4: Them, they throws like that. You're like, yeah, that's the CJ.
17:23
Speaker 4: Stroud that we've seen that is very.
17:26
Speaker 5: Difficult to defend. So I get it.
17:28
Speaker 2: This is not a San Francisco team.
17:29
Speaker 4: You know, without Nick Bosa and without Fred Warner, they're
17:32
Speaker 4: not that great San Francisco team. But the Texans took
17:36
Speaker 4: care of them, and they looked to me John winners
17:38
Speaker 4: of three of their last four, like a team that's
17:40
Speaker 4: starting to get their legs underneath them after an owen
17:43
Speaker 4: three start.
17:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did wonder after Warner got hurt how long
17:48
Speaker 6: San Francisco would be able to continue to start to
17:51
Speaker 6: piece it together. And I think the way the Texans won,
17:54
Speaker 6: which was fairly controlling it may have had a little.
17:58
Speaker 7: Something to do with that.
17:59
Speaker 6: As soon as I say that, I thought, when they
18:02
Speaker 6: beat the Texans here, even though the Texans went oh
18:04
Speaker 6: and three, the Texans are gonna figure out a way
18:08
Speaker 6: to be around nine or ten. They're good enough, and
18:10
Speaker 6: they're a proud franchise. They play with heart. So I
18:15
Speaker 6: still say that early victory over the Texans is gonna
18:17
Speaker 6: being a huge for the Jag and a couple of
18:19
Speaker 6: weeks it's gonna be a tough get to sweep this
18:22
Speaker 6: team the way they play well and their defense.
18:24
Speaker 5: With their defense, we talk so much about CJ.
18:26
Speaker 4: Stroud at Ego Collins, but that defense is so very aggressive.
18:31
Speaker 4: And with the outside I mean Will Anderson was a
18:34
Speaker 4: factor in the ball game here and the Neil Hunter
18:36
Speaker 4: is an excellent outside rusher. And remember the game here,
18:40
Speaker 4: you didn't have Stingley on the field for most of
18:42
Speaker 4: the game.
18:42
Speaker 5: He got hurt.
18:43
Speaker 4: When he's on the field, that changes the dynamic completely.
18:46
Speaker 4: So their defense is gonna help them stay in the race.
18:49
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a hell of a race in the
18:51
Speaker 4: AFC South with the Colts and I think the Texans
18:53
Speaker 4: coming in. If the Jaguars can get their legs back
18:55
Speaker 4: underneath them, it'll be a lot of fun. People will
18:57
Speaker 4: look at the difference the division different than they have
19:01
Speaker 4: in recent years.
19:01
Speaker 2: You'll have three teams that will be interesting.
19:05
Speaker 6: And that's why the game on Sunday for the jag
19:07
Speaker 6: is so important. You want five and three going into
19:10
Speaker 6: Houston so that you don't feel like it's sliding and
19:14
Speaker 6: you know, yeah, and you don't want that to feel
19:16
Speaker 6: like a must win game because if it'll feel more
19:19
Speaker 6: like it, so it won't be but going to that
19:21
Speaker 6: four and four, it's gonna feel like a must win.
19:25
Speaker 7: Good stuff.
19:25
Speaker 1: We like the competition for sure.
19:27
Speaker 7: We'll keep an eye on things.
