- 0:11Speaker 1: and today is Friday, November Week eleven is upon us.
- 0:15Speaker 1: The Jaguars hosts the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday at
- 0:19Speaker 1: one o'clock and the game is presented by Publix where
- 0:21Speaker 1: shopping is a pleasure. Coming up, Recapping a tough loss
- 0:25Speaker 1: with the Jags in Green Bay last week, Cam Robinson
- 0:28Speaker 1: discusses the state of the offensive line and a preview
- 0:31Speaker 1: of the Steelers Jaguars matchup. Let's start with the aftermath
- 0:34Speaker 1: of last week's twenty lost to the Packers. The Jaguars
- 0:38Speaker 1: had a fourth quarter lead, but they let it slip
- 0:40Speaker 1: away and they were unable to get anything done late
- 0:42Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Offensively, overall, the Jaguars played better.
- 0:46Speaker 1: They won the turnover battle and took a part return
- 0:49Speaker 1: in for a touchdown, but the result was the eighth
- 0:51Speaker 1: consecutive loss. Quarterback Jake Luton said after the game, but
- 0:55Speaker 1: there was disappointment in the locker room. We all expect better.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure it out, and you know, I
- 1:00Speaker 1: feel like everyone feels really close, you know, we're We're
- 1:02Speaker 1: proud of the way that we fight. You know that.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It's not a lack of effort, you know, by any means.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I think everybody on all sides of the ball is is,
- 1:09Speaker 1: you know, busting their butt as hard as they can.
- 1:11Speaker 1: It's just a matter of execution. So guys are upset,
- 1:14Speaker 1: you know, guys are You know, they want better, They
- 1:17Speaker 1: expect better, you know, we all do, and so you know,
- 1:20Speaker 1: I don't think there's any hanging of heads, but just
- 1:22Speaker 1: a personal expectation from each and every one of us
- 1:24Speaker 1: to improve, to put us in a situation to you know,
- 1:28Speaker 1: go in ball game. Head coach Jack Marone was asked
- 1:30Speaker 1: a similar question in the postgame video conference about the
- 1:33Speaker 1: team improving. He wasn't having it at the time, and
- 1:37Speaker 1: we discussed his answer on Monday's jaguar Is Happy Hour
- 1:40Speaker 1: with Pete Briscoe and Tony Boselli. Obviously, every loss is
- 1:43Speaker 1: frustrating for varying degrees. Uh, this one, uh any more
- 1:47Speaker 1: than some than some of the others, just because you
- 1:49Speaker 1: had you really had a chance to win the game,
- 1:51Speaker 1: and your and your team overall played really well. I
- 1:54Speaker 1: want to make sure I answer this the right way.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Every time you play lose. For me, I'm not going
- 2:01Speaker 1: to talk about anybody else. There's something that's in my
- 2:05Speaker 1: soul that's just get ripped out. So that's how I feel.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter whether it's this game or the
- 2:14Speaker 1: other seven before it, and it's something that you can't replace.
- 2:20Speaker 1: At least that's how I feel. I appreciate the question though,
- 2:24Speaker 1: that coach Dug Morone last night. They've now lost eight
- 2:27Speaker 1: consecutive games. There pete and frustration. Moron no longer has
- 2:33Speaker 1: a soul. There's very nice. He just said his soul
- 2:40Speaker 1: gets ripped apart. Everything get piece by piece. It's gone.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Every loss, it's done. It's a lot of losing it. Well, no,
- 2:47Speaker 1: but it's a reality. Look you feel for the guy,
- 2:50Speaker 1: you know, you know he's competitive as hell, that's who
- 2:53Speaker 1: he is. And there's nothing he can do about it. Nothing.
- 2:58Speaker 1: I mean, that team went up and actually fought, and
- 3:01Speaker 1: then they showed light and they showed a little spunk.
- 3:05Speaker 1: They would jump it around. They're just not good enough.
- 3:08Speaker 1: And so from my standpoint, I was watching it yesterday
- 3:12Speaker 1: and I said, step in the right direction. Some young
- 3:15Speaker 1: players look like they're getting better. There's some enthusiasm, they
- 3:18Speaker 1: look a little and then they lost. It was the
- 3:21Speaker 1: best of both worlds. There was another win. He might
- 3:25Speaker 1: not feel it, but the community feels it. What if
- 3:29Speaker 1: they had won that game, Well, he'd be happier because listen,
- 3:33Speaker 1: he's looking at the immediate. I mean, if you go
- 3:37Speaker 1: one and fifteen, most guys don't keep their jobs after
- 3:40Speaker 1: one and fifteen, keeping their job at two and fourteen,
- 3:43Speaker 1: Tony Well, And it's not funny for Doug because they
- 3:49Speaker 1: put a lot of work in and I give done
- 3:50Speaker 1: credit man. I mean, he's got this young team playing
- 3:54Speaker 1: hard and they're just not that talented in certain areas.
- 3:58Speaker 1: And they played his I mean don't want to say
- 4:00Speaker 1: as well as they could, but pretty dang well got turnovers.
- 4:03Speaker 1: No one turns over. Aaron Rodgers had a punt return
- 4:06Speaker 1: for a touchdown. I mean that the weather that kind
- 4:09Speaker 1: of brought the teams closer, because weather does that, you
- 4:12Speaker 1: know that field conditions and everything else and wind and
- 4:16Speaker 1: wet and I get you know, kind of um shortens
- 4:20Speaker 1: the margin or narrows the margin between teams all the
- 4:22Speaker 1: time in the NFL. And and I think he caught
- 4:26Speaker 1: a you know, a Green Bay team looking a little
- 4:28Speaker 1: bit ahead. You know, I'm not thinking much about it,
- 4:30Speaker 1: you know what, And they didn't win, and that hurts
- 4:33Speaker 1: because you put a lot of working in Pete's you know,
- 4:35Speaker 1: these teams, I mean, these guys are working hard. I mean,
- 4:37Speaker 1: that's one thing I hear consistently out of the building,
- 4:40Speaker 1: not being there, but here from people. I trust that
- 4:42Speaker 1: this is a team that they put it, put in
- 4:44Speaker 1: the work. The guys are working hard there in the classroom.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And when you don't get results, which is ultimately the
- 4:49Speaker 1: only thing that matters, man, that makes it hard. The
- 4:51Speaker 1: archives of media video conferences and Jaguars Happy Hour available
- 4:55Speaker 1: on the official team website Jaguars dot Com. Now to
- 4:58Speaker 1: the Jaguars offensive line. Left tackle Cam Robinson is in
- 5:02Speaker 1: a contract year, but last week there were issues late
- 5:05Speaker 1: in the game in past protection. Ashley Sullivan caught up
- 5:08Speaker 1: with Robinson for Jaguars All Access Television and had plenty
- 5:11Speaker 1: to discuss on and off the field. Cams starting quarterback
- 5:15Speaker 1: Jake Luton preparing for his third start? What have you
- 5:18Speaker 1: seen from him in practice in games? From the starter? Um,
- 5:22Speaker 1: one thing that I've I've noticed about him is that, UM,
- 5:25Speaker 1: he's extremely like cool under pressure. He's never two high
- 5:28Speaker 1: or two low. Well, I think, well, the one time
- 5:30Speaker 1: I saw I'm kind of excited was UM game before
- 5:32Speaker 1: Lasmie threw his first touche down to d j ot
- 5:35Speaker 1: a song. Get a little excited for that one UM
- 5:37Speaker 1: that was to be expected. But um, he's extremely cool
- 5:40Speaker 1: and composed, all right. And I was talking to Tony
- 5:43Speaker 1: Boselli of all people this week about the role of
- 5:46Speaker 1: an offensive lineman and overall, you guys had a Greek
- 5:49Speaker 1: game against the Green Bay Packers, but that last drive
- 5:52Speaker 1: definitely stands out, and I know you guys would like
- 5:54Speaker 1: to have that back and improve. So how hard is
- 5:56Speaker 1: that mentally to shake off those mistakes and rebuild old
- 6:00Speaker 1: for this week? I don't think it's I don't think
- 6:02Speaker 1: it's too hard mentally. We know what we gotta do better,
- 6:04Speaker 1: and we know we need to be better at and
- 6:06Speaker 1: UM we just you know, we just come in UM
- 6:09Speaker 1: each day looking to improve on those things and just
- 6:11Speaker 1: looking to improve overall. And the Steeler's pass rush leave
- 6:15Speaker 1: the lead in sacks, leaves the lead in forced turnovers.
- 6:18Speaker 1: So have you been preparing for this? And obviously Steelers
- 6:22Speaker 1: there are a very aggressive team to play against always
- 6:25Speaker 1: prepared just like every other week. We always we always
- 6:27Speaker 1: prepare um extremely We always go into every game extremely
- 6:31Speaker 1: extremely well prepared for everything. We're going to see, everything
- 6:34Speaker 1: we think we're going to see. So I mean, it's,
- 6:36Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a good football team. But we're
- 6:39Speaker 1: gonna we don't, we don't, we don't overlook anyone, and
- 6:40Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna go into every week with the
- 6:42Speaker 1: same preparation. I just spoke with Will Richardson, who tried
- 6:47Speaker 1: to tell me but he was the best dressed on
- 6:50Speaker 1: the offensive line. Do you agree with this? No? No, no, no,
- 6:57Speaker 1: no no. But but I will say this is not
- 7:01Speaker 1: me neither it used to be me. I'm second now
- 7:04Speaker 1: to Jawan just because Jawans just like some games out there,
- 7:08Speaker 1: just like I don't know, always feel like I just
- 7:10Speaker 1: throw it like a hoodie. The one is every week,
- 7:13Speaker 1: it's something designer is something one just one. Don't take
- 7:16Speaker 1: no breaks. I can't do it every week. Sometimes I
- 7:19Speaker 1: feel like putting on the hoodie and dressing down one
- 7:21Speaker 1: ain't one ain't giving no breaks. But we all know
- 7:24Speaker 1: one player who had a big game last week, wide
- 7:26Speaker 1: receiver Keeling Cole He had a receiving touchdown, and he
- 7:29Speaker 1: also returned U hunting ninety one yards for a score.
- 7:32Speaker 1: A franchise long This week, he was asked about his
- 7:36Speaker 1: future with the Jacksonville Jaguars. You know, we don't get
- 7:38Speaker 1: you nearly enough. So following up, do you want to do?
- 7:41Speaker 1: You want to be here? And next year? Do you
- 7:43Speaker 1: see this thing about to turn? You mean, you were
- 7:46Speaker 1: part of the seventeen phenomenon and how great that run was.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Do you see that? You know it's something that this
- 7:53Speaker 1: this franchise is close to becoming again. Shoot, I'm I'm down.
- 7:58Speaker 1: I'm his third two teams. I've been on this one
- 8:02Speaker 1: team for three and three courts of a year and
- 8:06Speaker 1: like I said, it ain't been the greatest thing, but
- 8:08Speaker 1: it's football and that's what we're here for. We're here
- 8:10Speaker 1: to play football. We obviously here to get paid. And
- 8:13Speaker 1: like I said, like he asked about the money, like
- 8:15Speaker 1: I can't, I can't give you the money. I can't
- 8:17Speaker 1: really hope for it to come. Honestly, I'm just I
- 8:19Speaker 1: just gotta do my partner and just let everything players row.
- 8:22Speaker 1: But when it comes to being a Jacksonville I'm not
- 8:25Speaker 1: a really a party guy anything and apparently Jacksonville doesn't
- 8:27Speaker 1: have that, so uh, I feel very good here. I
- 8:30Speaker 1: like the one weather, hate the code shout out to
- 8:33Speaker 1: Green Bay and um yeah, I like the one weather.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I like being here. I like being a Jaguar. I'd
- 8:38Speaker 1: rather be a jaguar than the falcon or like a
- 8:40Speaker 1: Birders And when we return a Steelers preview with Steelers

- 9:46Speaker 1: Let's move on to this week's matchup. The Pittsburgh Steelers
- 9:49Speaker 1: are the only undefeated team remaining in the NFL and
- 9:52Speaker 1: they're coming into Jacksonville to face the one and eight Jaguars,
- 9:56Speaker 1: who've lost eight in a row. We all know the
- 9:58Speaker 1: series history is tight twelve and twelve and the regular season.
- 10:02Speaker 1: The Jaguars won both playoff matchups in the two thousand
- 10:05Speaker 1: seven and seventeen postseasons, But this Steelers team isn't focused
- 10:09Speaker 1: on all the history. On Jake's Drivetime Thursday Morning, Steelers
- 10:13Speaker 1: team reporter Missy Matthews explained to Ashman Sullivan, John Osa,
- 10:17Speaker 1: and Brian Sexton what the focus is for the Steelers
- 10:20Speaker 1: this year and went a little deeper into Ben Roethlisberger's
- 10:23Speaker 1: motivations and we listened to Steeler's head coach Mike Tomlin's
- 10:27Speaker 1: press conference yesterday and he kind of downplayed the rivalry,
- 10:31Speaker 1: and rightfully so he was talking about the past teams
- 10:33Speaker 1: and saying, how with this roster, you have to focus
- 10:36Speaker 1: it on this year. So what is he saying about
- 10:39Speaker 1: this game, this rivalry. We've been playing it up big time,
- 10:41Speaker 1: but it seems like Dealers are kind of downplaying it
- 10:43Speaker 1: a little bit and saying, let's just focus on this season. Well,
- 10:46Speaker 1: I think for the Steelers being nine and oh, every game,
- 10:50Speaker 1: it feels like the questions the team is getting, the
- 10:53Speaker 1: coach Henman is getting is this a trap game? Is
- 10:55Speaker 1: this going to be the team that you know, kind
- 10:58Speaker 1: of knocked you off of this win stream? And for
- 11:00Speaker 1: coach Tomlin, every week they set the tone. They're taking
- 11:03Speaker 1: it one week at a time and he kind of
- 11:06Speaker 1: throws records out and will highlight, you know, all the
- 11:09Speaker 1: different things that are good about the teams that we're facing.
- 11:12Speaker 1: They were down in Dallas a few weeks ago. Obviously
- 11:15Speaker 1: they don't have a great record, but it's still turned
- 11:17Speaker 1: out to be a pretty close game. The Steelers were
- 11:19Speaker 1: lucky to leave Dallas with that win. Um just coming
- 11:22Speaker 1: off of a f C North game. So they've had
- 11:25Speaker 1: a lot of challenges in terms of three straight road games,
- 11:28Speaker 1: and you know, this is another road game. And Ben
- 11:30Speaker 1: Roethlisberger even said yesterday when he met with the Pittsburgh media,
- 11:34Speaker 1: they don't play that well against Jacksonville. In Jacksonville. The
- 11:37Speaker 1: last time we were down there, I just remember it
- 11:39Speaker 1: was a hot, swampy day, um, and it took Ben
- 11:42Speaker 1: Roethlisberger looking like Superman diving over the goal line to
- 11:46Speaker 1: kind of win that game. So I think they know
- 11:48Speaker 1: that they still have to bring their best a game.
- 11:51Speaker 1: And it's the National Football League, as we all know
- 11:53Speaker 1: all too well, anybody can win on any given day. Yes,
- 11:57Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Ben Roethlisberger. He had
- 12:00Speaker 1: the year last year where it was a lost year. Obviously,
- 12:03Speaker 1: he's so deep into his career and he's having maybe
- 12:06Speaker 1: the best year of his career. I know you're not
- 12:08Speaker 1: around him because of the virtual thing that much, but
- 12:11Speaker 1: is he sort of savor in this moment, if you will,
- 12:14Speaker 1: maybe enjoying this ride a little more than he had
- 12:18Speaker 1: been before. I mean, it's a special year form um.
- 12:20Speaker 1: I don't know if he's enjoying it more I think
- 12:23Speaker 1: that Ben is one of the all time competitors, and
- 12:25Speaker 1: you can ask anybody who has played with him at
- 12:28Speaker 1: any portion of his career. Ben wants to beat you
- 12:31Speaker 1: at cards. Ben wants to beat you at pool. Ben
- 12:34Speaker 1: Ben competes all the time. And I, yes, I'm not
- 12:37Speaker 1: around the team seven like normal, but I do get
- 12:40Speaker 1: a chance to kind of watch practice from a safe distance,
- 12:43Speaker 1: and I go on Fridays usually, and that is when
- 12:45Speaker 1: Ben just works those wide receivers and tight ends and
- 12:49Speaker 1: even the running backs and the things that he commands
- 12:52Speaker 1: from his guys. I think he has embraced being the
- 12:55Speaker 1: older veteran of the offense, and the guys are buying
- 12:58Speaker 1: in and really following him in terms of his confidence
- 13:02Speaker 1: and believing that Okay, nobody likes what happened during the
- 13:05Speaker 1: pandemic with the virtual offseason. Training camp was different for
- 13:08Speaker 1: the Steelers this year, and I think Ben has stood
- 13:11Speaker 1: up and he has always been a great leader. I
- 13:12Speaker 1: just think he has a lot of younger guys around him.
- 13:15Speaker 1: When he's to play seventeen years, at some point, you're
- 13:18Speaker 1: going to be the old guy um in the locker room.
- 13:20Speaker 1: So I I do think that everybody's buying in and
- 13:23Speaker 1: you guys have probably seen it if you've watched past
- 13:26Speaker 1: film or even the Sunday just what he does in
- 13:29Speaker 1: terms of, you know, moving guys around on the Steeler's offense,
- 13:32Speaker 1: doing a lot of empty set, no huddle. That's where
- 13:35Speaker 1: Ben really thrives. And it is his offense for sure,
- 13:38Speaker 1: and he does a great job at commanding it. Jack's
- 13:40Speaker 1: drivetime here is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on Jaguars
- 13:44Speaker 1: social channels. Thursday afternoon, the Jaguars announced at the first
- 13:48Speaker 1: round pick cornerback c. J. Henderson was going on injured
- 13:51Speaker 1: reserve with a groin issue. A few minutes later, on
- 13:54Speaker 1: the Doug Moron Show on the Jaguars Radio Network, we
- 13:57Speaker 1: asked the Jaguars head coach the lay off a land
- 14:00Speaker 1: at cornerback against the stack Steeler's offense. Some breaking news
- 14:04Speaker 1: this afternoon. C J. Henderson placed on injured reserve. Uh, Doug,
- 14:10Speaker 1: he had a growing injury and when did it happen?
- 14:13Speaker 1: Obviously it's bad enough to put him on the shelf
- 14:16Speaker 1: for a bit, unfortunately, and you know against the Steelers
- 14:19Speaker 1: team this week that has all those weapons on the outside.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Take us through the situation. For Henderson, Well he's got
- 14:25Speaker 1: hurt during practice and he's on I R. I mean,
- 14:28Speaker 1: I think that's as simple as that. So you know,
- 14:31Speaker 1: we'll look at obviously we have Trey Herndon. We got
- 14:34Speaker 1: d J. Hayden coming back up to the roster, so
- 14:36Speaker 1: he'll come up this week and then you know we'll
- 14:38Speaker 1: look to see, um, you know, Sydney and you know
- 14:42Speaker 1: we have Sydney, Trey and Chris clay Books you know,
- 14:44Speaker 1: really handling you know, the outside for us and um,
- 14:48Speaker 1: you know, um d J. Hayden can obviously go back
- 14:50Speaker 1: and play the slot. So we haven't made a decision yet.
- 14:53Speaker 1: We're both we're playing those guys and see, you know
- 14:55Speaker 1: what the best combination we have is Doug. Once you
- 14:58Speaker 1: get past Trey earned In and Chris Claybrooks, you've got
- 15:01Speaker 1: a couple of guys on your roster, Luke Barkoo and
- 15:03Speaker 1: Jaziah Scott draft pick and undrafted rookie free agents that
- 15:07Speaker 1: haven't seen the field much. Where are they at in
- 15:10Speaker 1: their development and their ability to maybe contribute in a
- 15:13Speaker 1: situation like this. Well, you know, we so that Scott's
- 15:16Speaker 1: more of you know, we like him money inside, he
- 15:18Speaker 1: can play a little bit on the outside Luke Bark
- 15:20Speaker 1: who is more of an outside guy. So I mean it's, uh,
- 15:23Speaker 1: it's it's pretty much getting thin. So um, you know,
- 15:28Speaker 1: obviously those guys are gonna have to step up, and
- 15:30Speaker 1: then we've got to put him in good positions so
- 15:32Speaker 1: we don't, um, you don't get him. Uh, you know,
- 15:35Speaker 1: it's a tough matchups and obviously this week there's a
- 15:38Speaker 1: lot of touch tough matchups when you go across the board.
- 15:40Speaker 1: D J. Hayden Is was on I r if I
- 15:44Speaker 1: remember correctly, it was a hamstring and and uh, and
- 15:47Speaker 1: he has a twenty one day window, so you anticipate
- 15:50Speaker 1: him being active this week, is what you're saying. I
- 15:53Speaker 1: am saying that, yeah, he will be active this week.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Since that show. The other starting corner, Sydney Jones, the
- 15:59Speaker 1: fourth that showed up on the injury report as a
- 16:01Speaker 1: Friday afternoon. He is questionable for the game with an
- 16:03Speaker 1: achilles issue. And he has a history with a torn
- 16:06Speaker 1: achilles prior to the draft a few years back, and
- 16:09Speaker 1: that knocked his draft status down. We'll see what the
- 16:11Speaker 1: weekend brings. We move along to Thursday's Jaguars Happy Our Show.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Tony Baselli and Jeff Lagavan described the matchup that the
- 16:18Speaker 1: Jaguars must win to have a chance in Sunday's game,
- 16:21Speaker 1: and issued a bit of a challenge to a couple
- 16:24Speaker 1: offensive tackles. I thought the tackles struggle a little bit,
- 16:27Speaker 1: especially in the second half against Preston Smith and scenarios
- 16:31Speaker 1: Smith and really got squeezed. It was highlighted at the
- 16:33Speaker 1: end of the game, but if you watch the tape
- 16:35Speaker 1: um the pockets started breaking down much earlier, earlier than
- 16:38Speaker 1: just that last drive. If you thought that was a
- 16:40Speaker 1: tough matchup, this is tough. T J Walks one of
- 16:43Speaker 1: the best edge rushers in all football, but Duprez in
- 16:45Speaker 1: another contract year he was franchised. They and the differences
- 16:49Speaker 1: also this in which is major. They have Cam Hayward
- 16:52Speaker 1: pushing from the inside and so it's a really good units.
- 16:56Speaker 1: One of why they're one of the best sack uh
- 16:59Speaker 1: one of the best act was in the NFL. And
- 17:01Speaker 1: I think it's a great opportunity to be honest with
- 17:04Speaker 1: you for these tackles, because if you're Cam Robinson and
- 17:07Speaker 1: you want to prove that you're a franchise left tackle
- 17:10Speaker 1: and that you deserve to get paid in the upper
- 17:12Speaker 1: teams low twenties, like a David r. R just got
- 17:16Speaker 1: These are the games that you have to dominate, that
- 17:19Speaker 1: you have to come out and say, hey, um, Di
- 17:22Speaker 1: Gridden slide away from me. I got this guy. I
- 17:24Speaker 1: can lock him down the whole game. And if you
- 17:26Speaker 1: if you're Joan Taylor and you want to be a
- 17:28Speaker 1: guy who's respected it as a premier right tackle, you
- 17:32Speaker 1: have to be able to match up with t J
- 17:34Speaker 1: want because the greatest compliment a coaching staff can give
- 17:38Speaker 1: you as an offensive linement, and I'll just speak as
- 17:40Speaker 1: a tackle is when they say, um, we're not gonna
- 17:44Speaker 1: game plan, We're just gonna bock. You're gonna block that guy.
- 17:47Speaker 1: And I have told this story many a time. Jeff
- 17:49Speaker 1: was there on the team in ninety six when Kevin
- 17:51Speaker 1: Gilbright basically had no game plan for Bruce Smith and
- 17:56Speaker 1: the only comment he made was, you know, five minutes
- 17:58Speaker 1: to go into meeting the night before saying, hey, Natron
- 18:02Speaker 1: and James, on your way out to the routes, take
- 18:05Speaker 1: a peek and if you if you can get a chip,
- 18:07Speaker 1: great um. And that's the greatest compliment as a left
- 18:11Speaker 1: tackle you can get when you know it's a premier matchup,
- 18:15Speaker 1: and they say, we have confidence in you. And if
- 18:18Speaker 1: these guys, these young tackles, especially camps in the contractor
- 18:21Speaker 1: wants to be considered that this is the game you
- 18:23Speaker 1: have to go dominate. You have to go shut the
- 18:26Speaker 1: guy down and say, I'm gonna erase Bud Dupree from
- 18:30Speaker 1: the statue. I'm gonna be the realist here. You're being
- 18:34Speaker 1: very kind when he said that didn't play very well
- 18:37Speaker 1: at the end of the stretch of the Green Bay game.
- 18:39Speaker 1: In fact, that's one of the reasons why the Jaguars
- 18:41Speaker 1: didn't have an opportunity to win it. It's because of
- 18:44Speaker 1: the protection of the tackles down the stretch. It was.
- 18:46Speaker 1: It was poor. Jeff was earlier this year jump in
- 18:50Speaker 1: real quick. I was actually saying, not just down the
- 18:53Speaker 1: stretch where you're saying, I agree. I thought it broke
- 18:55Speaker 1: down much earlier than that. If you watch it, it
- 18:58Speaker 1: was starting to squeeze even later in the first half
- 19:01Speaker 1: going into the second half, were getting the edges were
- 19:05Speaker 1: getting soft. That's my point, you understand, and I think
- 19:07Speaker 1: it's disappointing. And here for two reasons. One, the Smith brothers,
- 19:14Speaker 1: even though they're not brothers. One of them was pretty
- 19:16Speaker 1: good and that was the area and Preston was not
- 19:20Speaker 1: playing that well. Tony I I would love to see
- 19:23Speaker 1: Cam Robinson to be able to step up and go
- 19:26Speaker 1: I can block that guy, just let me take him
- 19:28Speaker 1: one on one. But have we ever seen him do that? Too? Far?
- 19:33Speaker 1: Less less more inferior players. No Jowan Taylor, have we
- 19:39Speaker 1: ever seen him shut anybody out? We've seen him play
- 19:43Speaker 1: really well at times. To me, those two guys have
- 19:46Speaker 1: got to pick it up. You have a legitimate opportunity
- 19:49Speaker 1: to win the game in Green Bay, and all you
- 19:50Speaker 1: have to do is protect the quarterback, protect the quarterback,
- 19:53Speaker 1: give a chance. And he's a young quarterback, so that
- 19:56Speaker 1: I want to give you even more motivation to block
- 19:59Speaker 1: your guy, to give him more time. And it was
- 20:01Speaker 1: a disappointing performance. And at the end of that game,
- 20:04Speaker 1: Cam Robinson had the shoulder. I don't know if it's
- 20:07Speaker 1: gonna bother him this week, but that's a concern because
- 20:09Speaker 1: he's going against Bud Dupree, who is a very strong,
- 20:12Speaker 1: physical guy, and Cameron Heyward, by the way, big and
- 20:15Speaker 1: strong and physical, and he's gonna line up right on
- 20:17Speaker 1: top of Cam Robinson at times defont it. We've seen
- 20:22Speaker 1: that where Juwan Taylor has gotten in trouble has been
- 20:25Speaker 1: been when he's been pushed back into the into the pocket,
- 20:28Speaker 1: been into the lap of the quarterback. And Stefan too.
- 20:32Speaker 1: It might be stronger than Cam Hayward and t J.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Watt is a heck of a pass rusher and he
- 20:38Speaker 1: will bring a physical aspect as well. So this is
- 20:40Speaker 1: a tough matchup this week. You know. We hope that
- 20:43Speaker 1: the tackles can step up, and they haven't shown any
- 20:45Speaker 1: sign of it yet. Jaguar's Half the Hour airs Monday,
