1:09
Speaker 1: welcome to Jack's Drive Time Brian Sexon along with John
1:13
Speaker 1: Osher and the reality of it, John is is that
1:16
Speaker 1: the victory Monday that we will celebrate today means that
1:19
Speaker 1: there are smiles on people's face and the entire building
1:22
Speaker 1: has a completely different vibe. When you come up with
1:24
Speaker 1: a win, especially a big win like yesterday. It's hard
1:27
Speaker 1: to put into just a few words what it means
1:29
Speaker 1: to this team right now to escape that game with
1:33
Speaker 1: a win over a team that's contending not just for
1:36
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but for the a f C North title.
1:38
Speaker 1: A great man once told me once, Brian winning is cool.
1:41
Speaker 1: People like it. We'll write that down and it's uh yeah,
1:46
Speaker 1: and it's it's amazing because the team has been close,
1:51
Speaker 1: its progressed. If you're backing up from a football XS
1:56
Speaker 1: and ohs study it wondering about the future perspective, it's
2:01
Speaker 1: been close, and yesterday wasn't a quantum leap from what
2:06
Speaker 1: we've seen, but you win and it verifies everything. But
2:09
Speaker 1: where it was a quantum leap, But I will get
2:11
Speaker 1: to it, and our big things was Trevor Lawrence. The
2:14
Speaker 1: quantum leap there, and that quantum leap is everything. It's
2:20
Speaker 1: It's why the bounce in the step today it feels
2:24
Speaker 1: so different than your normal win bouncing the step because
2:28
Speaker 1: that was real what we saw. Yes he was so
2:29
Speaker 1: good yesterday in the fourth quarter that even when the
2:32
Speaker 1: Ravens went down and Josh Oliver gave them and the
2:35
Speaker 1: two point conversion gave them the lead, I really didn't
2:40
Speaker 1: doubt that Trevor would be able to get the offense
2:41
Speaker 1: back down the field. I didn't know that he was
2:43
Speaker 1: going to be able to get in the end zone
2:46
Speaker 1: and get the two point conversion. But I had a
2:47
Speaker 1: sense that he was going to make a game of it.
2:49
Speaker 1: That's how much confidence I had the way he played.
2:51
Speaker 1: A couple of thoughts. And I know we're talking about
2:53
Speaker 1: Trevor all day. I thought, for the first time, Uh,
2:57
Speaker 1: just watching it from the press box at Jaguars fans
3:00
Speaker 1: felt it two what you're talking about? You go down
3:04
Speaker 1: twenty and I think I heard of the game this season.
3:07
Speaker 1: You would have thought, yeah, yeah, it's it. And I
3:11
Speaker 1: wrote somewhere on Jaguars dot Com this morning, by the
3:14
Speaker 1: end of the game, you weren't your gut feeling watching it.
3:21
Speaker 1: You weren't wondering and hoping he would make the right
3:24
Speaker 1: decision an accurate throw. You were expecting it. But I
3:30
Speaker 1: mean to me, I felt on that last drive, even
3:33
Speaker 1: to the point where I had my head down to
3:36
Speaker 1: my computer writing, which is what you do when it's
3:38
Speaker 1: a tight game like that. So I watched the touchdown
3:42
Speaker 1: to Marvin Jones. Wasn't fully aware that it was fourteen
3:45
Speaker 1: seconds lefter ten seconds left when it happened fourteen But
3:48
Speaker 1: my thought as I was watching the replay was, well,
3:52
Speaker 1: they'll scoring the next play because they were so hot
3:55
Speaker 1: at that point. I I hoped for the jaguars sake
3:59
Speaker 1: that they would get that. Before I think I would
4:03
Speaker 1: have been thinking, boy, if they don't get this, it's over,
4:05
Speaker 1: because it's it was always one shot right yesterday, he
4:08
Speaker 1: felt like they were going to score in one of
4:10
Speaker 1: the next two plays. The quarterback played that well. The
4:12
Speaker 1: defense led the way, and it's time for big things, folks.
4:16
Speaker 1: And by leading the way, I mean this they bent.
4:18
Speaker 1: They gave up big chunks. On the first play of
4:20
Speaker 1: the game, Mark Andrews had a twenty five yard completion.
4:24
Speaker 1: On the first play of the third quarter, Heat threw
4:27
Speaker 1: a forty yard pass to Josh Oliver and yet the
4:31
Speaker 1: jackboards for all the bending, and they bent a load,
4:34
Speaker 1: they didn't break. And they were resilient, which was the
4:37
Speaker 1: message on the sidelines and in the locker rooms. Shows
4:42
Speaker 1: all resiliency and were down end of the game. We
4:46
Speaker 1: got a tan to finish it. We got another offense
4:50
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. There showed like if
4:52
Speaker 1: we're playing a good football I got coming is the
4:55
Speaker 1: offense hopefully got comments in us and uh, you know
4:58
Speaker 1: everybody number were talented. He's got a putting it together.
5:00
Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good way to, you know,
5:02
Speaker 1: start off this little rhyme. We're trying to go on
5:04
Speaker 1: after the bye, but we gotta keep sack him in
5:06
Speaker 1: order to make it happen. Ravens had five trips inside
5:09
Speaker 1: the red zone, came away, were only two touchdowns. Big
5:11
Speaker 1: thing to breakout performances. We talked last week on this show.
5:15
Speaker 1: The Jaguars needed to see something from Za Jones, hopefully
5:17
Speaker 1: from Evan Ingram to free up Christian Kirk and Travis
5:21
Speaker 1: e t n against a vicious Baltimore defense. Well they got.
5:24
Speaker 1: Breakout performance is a Jones a career day. Eleven catches
5:28
Speaker 1: for a hundred and forty five yards, most of them
5:31
Speaker 1: being enormous momentary plays where he kept drives alive, and
5:35
Speaker 1: of course he finished off the game. He understands how
5:38
Speaker 1: big it was for the team. And Doug said, uh,
5:43
Speaker 1: he's gonna think players and not plays. And he called
5:45
Speaker 1: my number and he said what do you think? And
5:48
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, let's do it. And he called
5:49
Speaker 1: the play and he showed a lot of trust and
5:52
Speaker 1: belief that he had in me. And it was so grateful, man,
5:56
Speaker 1: just such a such an amazing play and such an
5:59
Speaker 1: amazing team win. For I put a lot of time
6:01
Speaker 1: in and put a lot of work in. We all
6:03
Speaker 1: do as offensive unique and just to have a special
6:06
Speaker 1: day like this, I mean across the board. Uh, I'm
6:10
Speaker 1: just I'm just thankful and great for the man. It was.
6:11
Speaker 1: It was like it was a good time out there
6:13
Speaker 1: playing for sure. And finally, big thing three, which is
6:17
Speaker 1: really big thing one here, folks, and this is finally.
6:20
Speaker 1: And we've talked all throughout the course of the season
6:23
Speaker 1: about the transition from losing big, which the Jaguars have
6:26
Speaker 1: done in recent seasons, to losing small, which they did
6:29
Speaker 1: frustratingly too late into this season. It seemed too winning small,
6:33
Speaker 1: which was what happened yesterday when quarterback Trevor Lawrence lay
6:36
Speaker 1: that dramatic fourth quarter come from behind win. Obviously, it
6:40
Speaker 1: feels it feels great, like I like I said after
6:43
Speaker 1: the game, you know, you put in so much work
6:44
Speaker 1: and to be on to win the games like that,
6:47
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's an awesome feeling. Um, nothing like it.
6:50
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's super cool. And like I said that,
6:53
Speaker 1: we've been on the other side, so we understand what
6:55
Speaker 1: that feels like. Two And I think we're just appreciative
6:57
Speaker 1: of where we are, how far we've come, kind of
7:00
Speaker 1: what's in front of us still. And we said it's
7:02
Speaker 1: a it's a new season once we got back from
7:03
Speaker 1: the bio week, and you can't win seven games, how
7:06
Speaker 1: you win one. We had to start today and obviously
7:09
Speaker 1: there was some some adversity and we had a battle
7:10
Speaker 1: through it and we just found a way and it
7:12
Speaker 1: was it was incredible. I think the incredible thing to remember, John,
7:17
Speaker 1: is that they were facing third and twenty one. The
7:20
Speaker 1: quarterback had just been sacked and put the ball on
7:22
Speaker 1: the ground. Our r j E a lineman in the game,
7:25
Speaker 1: by the way, is Luke Fortner right, because he was
7:27
Speaker 1: hustling back to get that ball and preserve the opportunity
7:31
Speaker 1: third and twenty one. He finds Christian Kirk, then he
7:33
Speaker 1: finds Marvin Jones. Then some authoritative throws the twenty nine
7:37
Speaker 1: yards a Jones, which will show you in our next block, folks,
7:39
Speaker 1: and the touchdown to Marvin Jones. I mean, he didn't hesitate,
7:43
Speaker 1: put that bowl right where it needed to be with authority.
7:46
Speaker 1: He just looked different on that final drive. Ye. There's
7:50
Speaker 1: so much to say about Trevor one thought I wrote
7:53
Speaker 1: a story on Trevor basically talking about his breakout game,
7:58
Speaker 1: and I went back and I was trying to find
8:00
Speaker 1: a quote in my notes where he talked about himself
8:06
Speaker 1: and how good he felt about it, and there really
8:08
Speaker 1: wasn't one. But you felt it the entire press conference.
8:13
Speaker 1: And he's a humble guy, so he's not going to
8:16
Speaker 1: talk about himself, but couldn't you feel it when you
8:18
Speaker 1: listen to him that he knew what had happened? So
8:21
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting And I also thought with him,
8:24
Speaker 1: as you said, I do. I also do a story
8:27
Speaker 1: called key Plays every day, I mean every Sunday, trying
8:32
Speaker 1: to find the key play on the last drive. It
8:34
Speaker 1: was impossible because there were five or six and they
8:37
Speaker 1: were big time NFL throws, they know, the most impressive
8:42
Speaker 1: thing in the In the fourth quarter, they had two
8:45
Speaker 1: long drives that without those drives you lose the game.
8:48
Speaker 1: He was sacked on the first play of both drives,
8:51
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry to say, I guess the second play
8:53
Speaker 1: put him in third and sixteen, but they got behind
8:56
Speaker 1: the sticks with a chance to have an interception. You know,
9:01
Speaker 1: I have a fierce pass rush. He came through in
9:04
Speaker 1: both of those moments and turned in I think it
9:06
Speaker 1: was fifteen of nineteen hundred and seventy three, two touchdowns
9:09
Speaker 1: and in the fourth quarter those two drives against the
9:12
Speaker 1: Ravens defense. That isn't what it was a long time ago,
9:16
Speaker 1: but it's still a playoff team. Is gonna be in
9:19
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Uh A. I'll call a career defining, but
9:26
Speaker 1: a huge jump to where he wants to be for
9:29
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. And I think we will look back at
9:31
Speaker 1: this game, there's no doubt and it surpasses some other moments.
9:34
Speaker 1: Right Remember the eight team played Drive in the fourth
9:36
Speaker 1: quarter against the Colts. I thought that was a breakout
9:39
Speaker 1: game for him, And in a way it was because
9:42
Speaker 1: we have seen that drive mental breakout. This was big
9:45
Speaker 1: time throws. It was number one overall draft pick throws.
9:51
Speaker 1: But I guess what I'm saying is is that we
9:52
Speaker 1: saw it. They were down seventeen nothing to the Raiders
9:56
Speaker 1: and we saw him bring them back and lead a
9:58
Speaker 1: scoring drive right before the end of the half. In
10:00
Speaker 1: Kansas City, you're down twenty to nothing and he led
10:02
Speaker 1: the scoring drive that got them points on the board
10:05
Speaker 1: right before the half. He did it yesterday they were trailing,
10:08
Speaker 1: he got them up seven to six, then he led
10:11
Speaker 1: them to ten to nine at the end of the half.
10:14
Speaker 1: We're seeing him in key moments, I guess, is what
10:16
Speaker 1: I'm saying in the second quarter and the fourth quarter
10:19
Speaker 1: where he is getting things done. And that to me
10:22
Speaker 1: led to what I thought was yesterday the total result
10:25
Speaker 1: of the breakout game. Yeah, I thought three weeks ago,
10:28
Speaker 1: four weeks ago, how long it was against the Raiders.
10:31
Speaker 1: I made the comment that was the first time I
10:32
Speaker 1: walked out of the stadium after a game and thought, Okay,
10:34
Speaker 1: they don't win that game without Trevor Lawrence. Um so
10:37
Speaker 1: now oclarive they don't win yesterday with that trav Lawrence.
10:40
Speaker 1: So now that's two of three, um three straight games
10:44
Speaker 1: over three, over hundred passer rating, no interceptions during that time.
10:48
Speaker 1: He's only gonna get better because there's so moments. But
10:51
Speaker 1: you know, I don't gush very often. I'm not a
10:54
Speaker 1: big gush. I've noticed that about you. But that yesterday
10:58
Speaker 1: was the first time I've been back here in two
11:01
Speaker 1: has an eleven where I saw a quarterback who can
11:03
Speaker 1: be elait. One thought quickly on big thing too, and
11:05
Speaker 1: that is we talked about breakout performances. We needed to
11:07
Speaker 1: see certain players. We saw one Za Jones career day
11:11
Speaker 1: JA Michael Hasty Yeah, first catch fifty two yards, uh,
11:15
Speaker 1: receiving on the day that the touchdown was twenty six.
11:17
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know he came through when Travis
11:20
Speaker 1: went down. We've seen strong performances from Agnew, but they
11:24
Speaker 1: needed him yesterday and he came up with a big performance.
11:26
Speaker 1: So on a day that Christian Kirk was not getting
11:29
Speaker 1: free against a very good raven secondary and E. T
11:32
Speaker 1: n was on the sidelines with the foot, other guys
11:35
Speaker 1: stepped up and provided breakout performances and uh you know, yes,
11:40
Speaker 1: tons of credular guys. Uh Za Jones quietly turning into
11:44
Speaker 1: a guy. You feel like this team is gonna be
11:45
Speaker 1: able to count on moving forward in a package with
11:49
Speaker 1: you know, with Ridley Boy. All of a sudden, now
11:51
Speaker 1: you think about Kirk really, Za Jones, all of a sudden,
11:54
Speaker 1: you got something. Um. Credit to Trevor for now being
11:58
Speaker 1: able to not have to depend on one element of
12:01
Speaker 1: the offense. Whatever tool is put in front of him,
12:05
Speaker 1: he's showing he can use and yesterday he did it
12:08
Speaker 1: for seven win over the Ravens and we'll take a
12:11
Speaker 1: look at some of the big highlights from yesterday's game
12:13
Speaker 1: against Baltimore when we return here on Jags Drive time.
12:30
Speaker 1: What do we got to lose? I mean, you know,
12:33
Speaker 1: and and this is this is something I told the
12:35
Speaker 1: staff during the during that last I don't know, five
12:39
Speaker 1: or six minutes of the game, It's like, you know,
12:42
Speaker 1: we gotta thank players, not plays, you know, and and
12:44
Speaker 1: and and trust our guys and you know, and and
12:47
Speaker 1: and that's what this game are. Our guys believe, they
12:49
Speaker 1: believe And once we scored that touchdown at the end
12:51
Speaker 1: that you know, they wanted to go for two. It
12:54
Speaker 1: wasn't my decision that players were like let's go, you know,
12:57
Speaker 1: And and um, I got a lot of eighth and
13:00
Speaker 1: trust in them and just a well executed place to play.
13:04
Speaker 1: We've had in our game plan pretty much every week.
13:06
Speaker 1: And um, we were able to pull it out great.
13:09
Speaker 1: You know, Trevor today was you know, as lights out.
13:13
Speaker 1: He played extremely well. That throw that catch um for
13:16
Speaker 1: the two point was was a thing of beauty. And um,
13:20
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a football team too, you know,
13:22
Speaker 1: A win like this just you know, um kind of
13:27
Speaker 1: kind of heads us in the right direction. So, John Os,
13:31
Speaker 1: you just said he's not a gusher. He's not someone
13:33
Speaker 1: that gets overly excited. Neither is Doug Peterson when it
13:37
Speaker 1: comes to his quarterback, John, he's after strong performances. Said,
13:40
Speaker 1: he's getting there, he's making progress. He's always been really guarded,
13:44
Speaker 1: I think, and it lights out in his price. Oh no, no, no,
13:47
Speaker 1: I that was the thing, the trip in my head.
13:50
Speaker 1: That's the highest praise we've heard from the head coach
13:53
Speaker 1: about the quarterback this season. Yeah. A couple of thoughts there.
13:56
Speaker 1: First of all, Um, I get what Doug saying. He
14:00
Speaker 1: was going for it. It didn't matter what the player, um,
14:05
Speaker 1: And I think the players coming to him and saying
14:09
Speaker 1: go well, first of all, players are always gonna say uh,
14:12
Speaker 1: and credit to him. But it was clearly Doug's decision.
14:15
Speaker 1: He was clearly going for it, and it better be
14:17
Speaker 1: his decision because you know, the left guard is not
14:20
Speaker 1: gonna get blamed if it doesn't work, it's gonna be undugs.
14:23
Speaker 1: So credit to him for doing it. I thought it
14:25
Speaker 1: was a again one of those moments of you know,
14:29
Speaker 1: I think he would always do it, but I think
14:31
Speaker 1: for him right now, it was terrific for what he's
14:34
Speaker 1: trying to build with this team that it worked because
14:36
Speaker 1: you know, he's trying to build chemistry, he's trying to
14:39
Speaker 1: make sure everybody understands this is what we're gonna be.
14:41
Speaker 1: That was that moment. But yeah, he uh yeah, he's
14:47
Speaker 1: a pretty honest guy, and I think that's why he's
14:50
Speaker 1: not really given to over gushing when it comes to
14:52
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Um, he's been measured, he's expressed confidence, but
14:57
Speaker 1: there's also been times this year, even publicly, where he's
15:00
Speaker 1: it's gotta get better, you know, and hasn't really blown smoke.
15:03
Speaker 1: Uh So, again, that was a watershed moment game in
15:10
Speaker 1: so many ways, and you could see it in Doug
15:12
Speaker 1: Peterson when he was on the podium trying to express
15:15
Speaker 1: how he wanted to say things, but also feeling it
15:19
Speaker 1: that this was really important and this was really big
15:22
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars winn. How about some highlights from yesterday's game.
15:26
Speaker 1: We'll start in the fourth quarter and the Jaguars are
15:28
Speaker 1: trailing in this ball game nineteen ten, and you're wondering,
15:31
Speaker 1: can against this Ravens defense, can they make something happen?
15:35
Speaker 1: Fourth and eight Lawrence three step trap cooking for Jones
15:39
Speaker 1: He's do what a throw by Lawrence trumps it in
15:44
Speaker 1: the bucket for Jones at a game of seven Lawrence
15:52
Speaker 1: touchdown track Trevor Lawrence and wait on a ball game
15:59
Speaker 1: there and checks and John there's the perfect example of again,
16:03
Speaker 1: guys that the Jaguars are counting on, who aren't the
16:06
Speaker 1: guys that they're usually counting on. That's a huge twenty
16:09
Speaker 1: seven yard completion. Yeah, And I thought agnews reaction after it,
16:14
Speaker 1: I'm probably making too much of this, but I mean
16:15
Speaker 1: it's something there. They weren't mopping anything up at that point,
16:20
Speaker 1: you know, like they weren't just trying to get a
16:23
Speaker 1: couple of stats touchdowns. They still believe they were gonna win.
16:26
Speaker 1: They still and they still believe they're that what they're
16:31
Speaker 1: doing right now matters, if you follow me. There was
16:33
Speaker 1: no thought, you know, uh, and I think and I
16:37
Speaker 1: still believe in it. And I thought you could see
16:39
Speaker 1: it on that drive when the Ravens scored nineteen to ten. Entertainment,
16:43
Speaker 1: it wasn't over, but I think a lot of fans
16:44
Speaker 1: are like, oh, here we go again. But there was
16:46
Speaker 1: none of that. And I thought that was pretty significant
16:49
Speaker 1: about the body language on that drive and uh, one
16:52
Speaker 1: thought on z Jones. I never gonnall about him later,
16:54
Speaker 1: so I mentioned him later. Go ahead with dialects. All right,
16:56
Speaker 1: so let's move on to the next Jaguars Now Trail
16:58
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen. And after a really poor decision to feel
17:02
Speaker 1: the kickoff and run sideways, which pinned the Ravens at
17:05
Speaker 1: their own five, here comes Lamar Jackson who gives the
17:08
Speaker 1: ball to Gus Edwards, ball making some noise. Edwards the
17:14
Speaker 1: running back lamars it that flirts, scoop it up. You
17:27
Speaker 1: say what you want, um, But Dewey right has made plays.
17:31
Speaker 1: He made him against the Raiders when he came in
17:33
Speaker 1: late in the ball game, and he made it here,
17:36
Speaker 1: which gave the Jaguars the ball back. Now the offense
17:38
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything with it, so they ended up with
17:40
Speaker 1: a field goal, but they ended up with the lead.
17:42
Speaker 1: John twenty to nineteen. In the blink of an eye,
17:45
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now the defense which had bent
17:47
Speaker 1: and bent and bent but not broken, break serve well
17:51
Speaker 1: and gives the ball back. Yeah, dude, came in the
17:53
Speaker 1: field goal and at one point game Yeah, I don't
17:55
Speaker 1: know what else you want? No, nothing, Well, you'd like
17:58
Speaker 1: a little better covers on on the next wall. That's
18:01
Speaker 1: what he is. That's not his fault necessarily. But here's
18:04
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to de Shawn Jackson, who was just lifted
18:07
Speaker 1: from the practice squad the day before the game. The
18:11
Speaker 1: start Jackson and the slap down there. It's a little
18:14
Speaker 1: kind of speed to clear up when you're tie that
18:16
Speaker 1: of bark Andrew's second it's twading Lamar winding up going
18:22
Speaker 1: deep for Jackson. He's good Chickson, but he touch down. Well,
18:29
Speaker 1: he's given the ball to the Pittel, So apparently he
18:31
Speaker 1: was That's not what do he does? Uh not that
18:34
Speaker 1: this was entirely his fault, But at this point you're thinking, oh,
18:38
Speaker 1: they did it again. They gave up a big play. Yeah,
18:41
Speaker 1: and they did. But but look, there are issues on
18:46
Speaker 1: this defense that have to be addressed at something secret.
18:50
Speaker 1: But for yesterday the big thing with defense, and you
18:54
Speaker 1: have to take Peterson made it a couple of times. Look,
18:56
Speaker 1: they held him in the red zone, and they held
18:59
Speaker 1: him enough time times in the red zone if they
19:01
Speaker 1: won the game. How many times have we sat in
19:04
Speaker 1: here and talked about it this year that Jais couldn't
19:05
Speaker 1: score the red zone. That was a difference in the NFL.
19:08
Speaker 1: These days, you're gonna have five, six, seven games a
19:11
Speaker 1: year where you have to go win high scoring, one
19:15
Speaker 1: score games. And I talked about breaking serve all the time.
19:19
Speaker 1: The job of a good defense in the NFL sometimes
19:21
Speaker 1: is in those high scoring games, don't allow touchdowns. And
19:24
Speaker 1: the dagor measure by it wasn't just in the red zone.
19:26
Speaker 1: Remember Davon Hamilton's forced the fumble on fourth down against
19:30
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Fourth down in a yard against Lamar Jackson,
19:33
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense broke sure. Okay, So now the Jaguars find
19:36
Speaker 1: themselves facing third and twenty one after losing ground on
19:41
Speaker 1: the first two plays of this drive with two minutes left,
19:44
Speaker 1: and who does Trevor find old faithful John third down
19:56
Speaker 1: twenty one, Christian Kirk comes up with sixteen. Yeah, you
19:58
Speaker 1: make the right play in some of that there too
20:02
Speaker 1: is having the confidence that you're going to come back.
20:04
Speaker 1: And I thought as much as the Kirk throw that
20:08
Speaker 1: that throw we just saw right to Marvin Jones under
20:11
Speaker 1: pressure gets rid of the ball. Uh, all the throws
20:18
Speaker 1: that were talked about yesterday, that might have been the
20:20
Speaker 1: most impressive. And Marvin Jones is not a guy. They
20:22
Speaker 1: threw a quick gohot screen to him on third down,
20:25
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, why do you throw that one
20:26
Speaker 1: to him? The suddenness, you know, the explosiveness of the field.
20:30
Speaker 1: That's not his game. He may have his clutch of
20:32
Speaker 1: hands as Keenan McCardell. I mean this season and last
20:35
Speaker 1: year at the end of the game, at the end
20:37
Speaker 1: of the season against the Colts, he makes clutch catches.
20:40
Speaker 1: Za Jones does as well. So on that drive, Za
20:43
Speaker 1: Jones comes up with another huge play here. It is
20:48
Speaker 1: sir down in six Lawrence fucking thing for Jones. John
20:58
Speaker 1: that's the kind of authoritative throw looked different. Yeah, well
21:02
Speaker 1: it was one of of many. The earlier one the
21:05
Speaker 1: nine yard and we just saw that one again. You're
21:08
Speaker 1: talking about five or six big time throws that I
21:11
Speaker 1: think in any other game you'd have been highlighting that
21:13
Speaker 1: one throw of his and with a lot of other quarterbacks,
21:16
Speaker 1: this was big time, armed talent kind of throws. We
21:21
Speaker 1: may come up on the two point conversion. Yet the
21:23
Speaker 1: two point conversion was a rocket. Well, let's watch, here's
21:26
Speaker 1: the touchdown. It also qualifies as a big time aggressive
21:30
Speaker 1: throw touchdown. Joanes sided his skinny legs, and how skinny
21:45
Speaker 1: leg guys have advantages, and he got that and there's
21:50
Speaker 1: the thigh the shin and it holds for the touchdown.
21:54
Speaker 1: The Ravens can't believe it. Yeah, I was a little
22:00
Speaker 1: I thankfully for the dragonars they called touchdown on the field. Yes,
22:03
Speaker 1: sometimes there are interpretations of rules that you gotta go
22:06
Speaker 1: with the shin thing. I kind of wondered if they
22:09
Speaker 1: weren't going to get him for not getting the knee down. Uh,
22:12
Speaker 1: you know, it's sort of a coin flip call to me,
22:16
Speaker 1: and good for Marvin Jones, because I guess on that play, Brian.
22:22
Speaker 1: Sometimes I like it when the call is deserved, and
22:26
Speaker 1: it was. It was a heck of a play, and
22:28
Speaker 1: it's give it to give it to the guy who
22:31
Speaker 1: made the heck of a play. All right, here's the
22:33
Speaker 1: play that John was referring to big time. Through the
22:35
Speaker 1: two point conversion, the entire stadium had its heart in
22:38
Speaker 1: its throat as Doug Peterson said, let's go for it.
22:42
Speaker 1: They did. They rewarded. I'm all right, send the shotgun,
22:47
Speaker 1: looking looks say Jones. Ships go up one and that's
22:58
Speaker 1: the finally moment. Finally they're gonna win a close kid.
23:01
Speaker 1: That's a rocket too. I mean, it's uh that I
23:06
Speaker 1: said earlier, and it's it's enjoyable obviously, talk about a
23:09
Speaker 1: quarterback of plays like this um in basketball, talk about
23:14
Speaker 1: being in the zone. It looked at the end of
23:16
Speaker 1: the game like Trevor was in the zone in this sense,
23:20
Speaker 1: not like he was just out there throwing Willie Nelly.
23:23
Speaker 1: But he knew what he needed to do and there
23:25
Speaker 1: wasn't a stitch of doubt when he was throwing the
23:29
Speaker 1: ball that it was gonna go where he wanted to go,
23:32
Speaker 1: that it was going to be the right throw that
23:33
Speaker 1: he was gonna You know, it was a joy to
23:35
Speaker 1: watch because it was a premium athlete doing things that
23:40
Speaker 1: most human beings candid. You know, those are the kind
23:41
Speaker 1: of highlights that people will watch on their computer all
23:43
Speaker 1: day long. Uh, the highlights of that last drive alone.
23:47
Speaker 1: We'll carry Jaguars fans all week as they get set
23:50
Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions at Ford Field next Sunday. When
23:54
Speaker 1: we returned, Hot Takes makes its presence felt here on
23:58
Speaker 1: Jack's drive Time. Well, Monday drive Time is brought to
24:06
Speaker 1: by the good folks at car shield and and call
24:08
Speaker 1: them Now if your cars out of manufacturer's warranty, don't
24:11
Speaker 1: get stuck with the expensive mechanical and computer screen repairs.
24:15
Speaker 1: Call our friends at car Shield. Now time for hot takes, folks.
24:20
Speaker 1: Hot takes on a Monday morning. John will start with you. Well, UM,
24:25
Speaker 1: my take is is this the best game for a
24:28
Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback in how long I had? I hesitate to
24:34
Speaker 1: say ever, because we're talking about twenty seven years. Um,
24:37
Speaker 1: it's certainly the best game that in terms of the
24:41
Speaker 1: impact throws We've been talking about, in terms of the
24:44
Speaker 1: moment since I've been back in two thousand eleven and not.
24:47
Speaker 1: I'm assuming there probably wasn't one during the time where
24:49
Speaker 1: I was gone for ten years, just because of the
24:52
Speaker 1: armed talent that's there in in in what we're seeing. Uh.
24:56
Speaker 1: And you go back to Mark Burnell had some unbelievable moments,
24:59
Speaker 1: but Mark wasn't this in terms of just the unbelievable
25:05
Speaker 1: rope throws twenty five yards downfield. Uh. So I'm not
25:09
Speaker 1: gonna say it's the greatest ever. I'm sure Mark had
25:11
Speaker 1: a couple that were different than this, but this, Uh,
25:16
Speaker 1: and impact of moment when you're three and seven, it's
25:19
Speaker 1: hard to have that moment. That's where I'm going on
25:21
Speaker 1: this one. You weren't here. It was in two thousand
25:23
Speaker 1: seven in Pittsburgh in the playoffs. David Gerrard had a
25:25
Speaker 1: couple of big time throws. Again he's not Trevor Lawrence,
25:29
Speaker 1: but he had some big throws. But it was the moment,
25:31
Speaker 1: you know, the fourth down run when the quarterback comes
25:34
Speaker 1: through and sets up Josh Golby's field goal to beat
25:36
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the wild card game in Pittsburgh. So you're
25:39
Speaker 1: going back fifteen years, that's more the point, right A
25:44
Speaker 1: long time? Yeah, it's this is one of the best.
25:47
Speaker 1: It's one of the best, and I don't know that
25:49
Speaker 1: this franchise has ever seen, uh the ability to have six, seven,
25:55
Speaker 1: eight unbelievable arm throws. And I say arm throws, they
26:02
Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened with most other quarterbacks who play. It was.
26:07
Speaker 1: It was really impressive. Uh. He has to build on it.
26:11
Speaker 1: He has to go forward and be great. He has
26:13
Speaker 1: to go forward and be the number one overall pick
26:15
Speaker 1: that we think he's gonna be. Uh. But again, this
26:18
Speaker 1: has that feel of the coming out moment. So um
26:23
Speaker 1: mine is this could be the start of something, and
26:26
Speaker 1: I have I have laid out the nineties comparison ad
26:29
Speaker 1: nausey to the point that people are like, really sex
26:31
Speaker 1: and you're still staking with this. But the reality of
26:33
Speaker 1: it is is that that was a four and seven
26:35
Speaker 1: team as well, with a win over the Ravens the
26:38
Speaker 1: very next week that took them to five and seven.
26:42
Speaker 1: And forget the comparison there for a moment. But what
26:45
Speaker 1: it did was it if you recalled, because I know
26:47
Speaker 1: you were in the locker room the day the KINGO
26:48
Speaker 1: mccarte alter to the media and said, why not us Right,
26:50
Speaker 1: there's a belief in that locker room that this team
26:53
Speaker 1: can go beat Detroit. And if you beat Detroit and
26:56
Speaker 1: find yourself five and seven, the guess where you are?
26:59
Speaker 1: Your name is on the graphic next week when they
27:02
Speaker 1: start talking about playoff scenarios. Now it's in the in
27:05
Speaker 1: the hunt and it's at the end of it. But
27:07
Speaker 1: isn't that what we talked about for this team is
27:09
Speaker 1: to be on the graphic as the season turns into
27:13
Speaker 1: the month of November and every week the anticipation heightening
27:18
Speaker 1: like it did in and getting folks excited about what's possible.
27:22
Speaker 1: Yesterday I think was that game about getting excited, and
27:26
Speaker 1: I know you talked last week. The schedule is not
27:28
Speaker 1: nearly the same. It's much more difficult. But I think
27:31
Speaker 1: this could be the start of a couple of weeks
27:33
Speaker 1: of a lot of fun in Jacksonville as people anticipate. Yeah,
27:37
Speaker 1: I think the schedule probably makes it a little too
27:40
Speaker 1: difficult because of this. I think they will be playing
27:43
Speaker 1: teams Jets, Cowboys, Titans twice. You're playing teams that are
27:48
Speaker 1: gonna really need it, and you're probably gonna be playing
27:51
Speaker 1: games like yesterday's that are down to the wire and
27:55
Speaker 1: your odds of winning every one of them. But I'm
28:00
Speaker 1: not trying to throw water on it. I'm just trying
28:01
Speaker 1: to start to add some perspect realities. The situation is different.
28:04
Speaker 1: They are going to play teams just like the Ravens.
28:07
Speaker 1: Dar's played really really well yesterday, and if the Ravens
28:10
Speaker 1: get five yards closer, they probably win the game. Right,
28:12
Speaker 1: So you're talking about that sort of fine line. The
28:15
Speaker 1: point that I like about this team is I believe
28:17
Speaker 1: they're going to be on that fine line and that's significant.
28:20
Speaker 1: And with the quarterback playing the way he did yesterday,
28:22
Speaker 1: it gives you a chance every week. Alright, a new
28:24
Speaker 1: segment to share with you here on Jags Drive Time
28:28
Speaker 1: and is presented by the Florida Lottery. It's our high

Speaker 1: the aftermath, call it the glow if you will, of
29:15
Speaker 1: a Jaguars come from behind win over the Ravens on
29:19
Speaker 1: Sunday here at t I A A. Bank Field. We're
29:21

29:41
Speaker 1: Well I mentioned earlier in the show that our j
29:42
Speaker 1: e A Lineman of the Game is Luke Fortner, who
29:45
Speaker 1: fell on that football after it was stripped from Trevor
29:49
Speaker 1: Lawrence's hands on second down with just over two minutes
29:52
Speaker 1: to play. He saved the day, So he's our j
29:55
Speaker 1: e A Lineman of the Game. But how about this
29:57
Speaker 1: crew from j e A and the Jaguar are like
30:00
Speaker 1: to thank their front line teams for all they do
30:03
Speaker 1: to help our community thrive. Please help us recognize j
30:06
Speaker 1: e as frontline Team of the Game, representing the two
30:09
Speaker 1: thousand employees who work hard to serve you each and
30:13
Speaker 1: every day. Congratulations to Luke Fourtner at the team at
30:17
Speaker 1: j e A, Brian Sexton along with John Os. You're
30:19
Speaker 1: back to wrap up Monday drive time. John. The Jaguars
30:24
Speaker 1: now have won two of their last three games, but
30:26
Speaker 1: they go to face Alliance team in Detroit that gave
30:29
Speaker 1: the Bills everything they could handle on Thanksgiving Day and
30:32
Speaker 1: they've won three of their last four. And these are
30:34
Speaker 1: are both teams that are looking to push through that
30:38
Speaker 1: glass ceiling that has them in the bottom tier of
30:40
Speaker 1: the league and and push themselves into the conversation in December. Yeah,
30:45
Speaker 1: I think if I remember right, the Lions are at
30:47
Speaker 1: four wins, Jacks or at four wins and I think
30:50
Speaker 1: the Lions are at five maybe if you know so,
30:53
Speaker 1: they are. Both teams are at that point where they
30:55
Speaker 1: can get into that six seven win few with neither
31:00
Speaker 1: franchise has been in for a while by the end
31:03
Speaker 1: of the season. That feels so much different, looks so
31:06
Speaker 1: much different. So, uh, this is a tougher one that
31:09
Speaker 1: looks on paper. At the same time, I think the
31:12
Speaker 1: Lions are probably looking at it the same way. You know, Wow, Okay,
31:15
Speaker 1: this is it's not a measuring stick, it's not. It's
31:19
Speaker 1: not to that degree. But for both teams, it's a
31:22
Speaker 1: tougher matchup than they thought. And then it speaks to
31:25
Speaker 1: where both are. They both franchises are improving, which after
31:28
Speaker 1: having the picks they've had the last couple of years,
31:30
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be well. And the Lions, folks, especially
31:32
Speaker 1: after the way they've played. Ford Field has become a
31:35
Speaker 1: loud place. You've been there, It's one of those places
31:37
Speaker 1: where the sound because it's a covered dome and it's
31:39
Speaker 1: not a really high ceiling, right, they don't have an
31:41
Speaker 1: upper deck. Um, it can be loud. It's gonna be
31:45
Speaker 1: a challenging place to play. If the Lions folks are believing. Yeah,
31:47
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you believe you're ascending, Uh,
31:52
Speaker 1: if you believe that Trevor Lawrence is becoming this kind
31:54
Speaker 1: of a quarterback. Uh, it's the kind of game that
31:58
Speaker 1: you can go win on the road and feel really
32:00
Speaker 1: go to act your stuff coming back. Who's the ozone
32:02
Speaker 1: podcast for the week. I believe it's gonna be Dewey
32:04
Speaker 1: Andrew Ingrid, So I'm I'm looking forward to that. He's
32:07
Speaker 1: a fun guy. The Lions, You're right, there are four
32:09
Speaker 1: and seven, so it's two four and seven teams. All right.
32:11
Speaker 1: Here we go, Jaguars and Lions, and we have plenty
32:14
Speaker 1: to talk about. We'll be back with you on Wednesday
32:17
Speaker 1: to begin the preparation for the Jaguars Lions contest on Sunday.
32:22
Speaker 1: Jags with a big wind. The whole city is gonna
32:24
Speaker 1: feel good today. Enjoy it, folks, and we'll talk to
32:27
Speaker 1: you on Wednesday from right here at T I A
32:29
Speaker 1: A bank Field. Have a great Monday.
