- 0:32Speaker 2: Welcome in to the Jaguars postgame show. Brian Sexton, Mike Dempsey,
- 0:37Speaker 2: Mark Duffner, and pride of the Jaguars, Fred Taylor from
- 0:40Speaker 2: the Hyundai Studios. and where to even begin. There were
- 0:43Speaker 2: so many things that we talked about way back in
- 0:47Speaker 2: the pregame show hours ago that the Jaguars wanted to
- 0:50Speaker 2: get done today. Mike, we'll go through the Sunday final
- 0:53Speaker 2: and answer the questions, but it sure seemed like this
- 0:56Speaker 2: was exactly the kind of win they needed. The one
- 0:58Speaker 2: that says, you know what, we missed the opportunity two
- 1:01Speaker 2: weeks ago in Houston to take control, pardon me, in
- 1:04Speaker 2: London against Houston to take control of the AFC South.
- 1:07Speaker 2: We're not going to miss it today.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Well, you heard Foye on the postgame right there with
- 1:11Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks say they left a bad taste in their mouth.
- 1:13Speaker 3: They had to sit with that for two weeks. And, again,
- 1:16Speaker 3: would have taken the win over Houston, but that's a
- 1:18Speaker 3: wonderful coaching tool for Liam Cohen to have those guys'
- 1:22Speaker 3: attention and to come out and really, guys, start the
- 1:25Speaker 3: rest of your season, coach, in the right fashion. That's
- 1:29Speaker 3: a team that you should have handled, and they took
- 1:31Speaker 3: care of business today.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Dominant performance across the board, offense and defense. I mean, excellent,
- 1:36Speaker 4: just what they did. what the doctor ordered in terms
- 1:38Speaker 4: of this team to get back on track winning.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Dominant performance, Fred, something that we've been wanting to see
- 1:43Speaker 2: from this team, something we've expected to see from this team,
- 1:47Speaker 2: and finally they break through with one.
- 1:48Speaker 5: Yeah, they didn't just win the game today.
- 1:50Speaker 6: I think they got back on track and sent a
- 1:53Speaker 6: message to the rest of the AFC South who actually
- 1:56Speaker 6: helped them out when they were away. I think the
- 2:00Speaker 6: brightest spot that came from this game for me was
- 2:04Speaker 6: how the Jaguars responded after the bye week. You know,
- 2:07Speaker 6: going into the bye week was an opportunity to self-assess
- 2:10Speaker 6: after the two games there in London, the close one
- 2:13Speaker 6: with the Eagles, the loss to the Texans. But they
- 2:16Speaker 6: came and they answered a lot of, I think, their
- 2:18Speaker 6: own questions and how they responded. Coach Cohen on the
- 2:22Speaker 6: TV there, he said, leave no doubt.
- 2:24Speaker 5: No doubt.
- 2:25Speaker 6: And they continue to put pressure on the Colts and
- 2:28Speaker 6: won the way they were supposed to.
- 2:30Speaker 2: 42-7, they pound the Colts today. And let's just go
- 2:32Speaker 2: through these questions real quick, right? The Sunday final, which
- 2:34Speaker 2: we bring to you in the pregame show. Five questions
- 2:38Speaker 2: the Jaguars want to answer. Five answers after the whistle.
- 2:41Speaker 2: And today was an emphatic statement from the Jaguars. Fred,
- 2:44Speaker 2: will the Jaguars play to their standard and not down
- 2:46Speaker 2: to the level of their opponent? That one is easy.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they answered that for sure.
- 2:50Speaker 2: So, question two. How far will Anthony Campanile go to
- 2:53Speaker 2: pressure Daniel Jones?
- 2:55Speaker 3: Well, he said, I don't know how much he said.
- 2:57Speaker 3: He said four sacks and three takeaways. Right, they got
- 3:00Speaker 3: pressure on him. I'm going to have to see how
- 3:02Speaker 3: many times he actually blitzed today. but he sent some
- 3:04Speaker 3: different guys who saw Jalen Husky get the sack late,
- 3:07Speaker 3: so you know there was some of those off-scheduled rushes involved.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Mark, can the Jaguars stop giving away their big play? Absolutely.
- 3:14Speaker 4: I mean, the pass explosives was addressed. Zero today. Now,
- 3:19Speaker 4: they had a couple in the run game. First play
- 3:21Speaker 4: of the game, a 19-yard run, I think, by Taylor,
- 3:23Speaker 4: but They answered the problems in the back end right
- 3:26Speaker 4: now with the pass explosives getting zero today.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Back to you, Fred. Can the Jaguars establish their offensive
- 3:31Speaker 2: identity early against the Colts?
- 3:33Speaker 5: I think they did.
- 3:34Speaker 6: You know, coming out early, getting BTJ involved in one
- 3:37Speaker 6: of the most beautiful sounds all day. And I'm sure
- 3:39Speaker 6: BTJ appreciated when the crowd was chanting BTJ just to
- 3:44Speaker 6: help him restore his confidence. And then the Jaguars never
- 3:47Speaker 6: looked back.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Never did.
- 3:48Speaker 2: And I'll answer the final one. Can they recognize the
- 3:50Speaker 2: opportunity in the South and seize the moment with a
- 3:52Speaker 2: four-quarter performance? Certainly they did that. They didn't spend Sunday
- 3:56Speaker 2: trying to convince us they were the better team, which
- 3:58Speaker 2: they have recently. They spent Sunday proving it.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Well, and here they got to fourth quarter. They got
- 4:03Speaker 4: to second and third offense and defensive player game time.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Great experience right now. So getting players to play, winning
- 4:11Speaker 4: the game in convincing fashion here at home, awesome performance.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Jaguars win 42-7, and the Jaguars Radio Network is presented
- 4:18Speaker 2: by UF Health, the official health care partner of the
- 4:20Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. Along those lines, it's not all smiles today.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Losing Devon Hamilton, he went off on the cart in
- 4:28Speaker 2: the first half and was immediately pronounced out. That didn't
- 4:31Speaker 2: look good. We don't have a final, but I think
- 4:34Speaker 2: it's safe to say that's going to be something that
- 4:35Speaker 2: the Jaguars are going to have to figure out.
- 4:37Speaker 6: Yeah, I think as soon as it happened, I sort of,
- 4:40Speaker 6: you know, I went right to the stat sheet to
- 4:42Speaker 6: just kind of look at where the Colts were in
- 4:44Speaker 6: terms of rushing the ball. And Jonathan Taylor, he had
- 4:47Speaker 6: five for 22 at the half just a little bit
- 4:50Speaker 6: after Devon had gone out. But the guys that got
- 4:53Speaker 6: in there, they stepped up. They did an amazing job.
- 4:55Speaker 6: And that just goes to credit to Campanelli and the
- 4:58Speaker 6: defensive staff and how well those guys are coached because
- 5:01Speaker 6: they didn't have a fall off. You know, but the
- 5:03Speaker 6: season is much longer. We know what Devon brings to us.
- 5:06Speaker 6: to those guys and what he means to the players
- 5:08Speaker 6: around him. So we're going to have to keep an
- 5:10Speaker 6: eye on and see how that turns out. But also,
- 5:13Speaker 6: I'm sure Tony and James Glassone, they're already working, man.
- 5:19Speaker 2: The trade market takes on a different feel all of
- 5:22Speaker 2: a sudden. You were trying to supplement your team. You're
- 5:24Speaker 2: trying to give you something extra.
- 5:27Speaker 7: And now.
- 5:27Speaker 2: you got to go find something that you can.
- 5:29Speaker 6: That's why communication is important from the doctors to the
- 5:32Speaker 6: player themselves. And it starts now. It started a while ago.
- 5:36Speaker 6: So we'll keep an eye on it, see what happens.
- 5:38Speaker 6: But next man up, man, the guy's got to be ready.
- 5:40Speaker 2: We talked about stopping Jonathan Taylor. If you stopped him, Mike,
- 5:44Speaker 2: that was the key to the ballgame, making sure that
- 5:48Speaker 2: the Colts were never in it. He had the 19-yard run.
- 5:50Speaker 2: That was it. On the first play of the game,
- 5:53Speaker 2: the Jaguars failed, I think you said, Coach, to set
- 5:56Speaker 2: the edge. After that, He had seven more carries for
- 6:00Speaker 2: a total of four yards on the ground.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and what, he had three catches for nine in
- 6:03Speaker 3: the first half season? When they were dumping it down
- 6:06Speaker 3: to him, the Jags were very aware, Freddie. I mean,
- 6:09Speaker 3: a spectacular job. And quite frankly, I'm surprised they put
- 6:12Speaker 3: him on the field at all in the second half
- 6:14Speaker 3: of this game. With the way the score was and
- 6:17Speaker 3: the fact that we all know what's surrounding the Colts
- 6:19Speaker 3: right now, I understand you put your guys out there,
- 6:21Speaker 3: you try to compete. on a given day. But they've
- 6:24Speaker 3: got a bigger picture to worry about right now.
- 6:26Speaker 5: Yeah, they do.
- 6:27Speaker 6: And, you know, it's the business of the NFL, man.
- 6:30Speaker 6: They fired their GM not too long ago. They traded
- 6:32Speaker 6: two of their best players. And there have been talks
- 6:35Speaker 6: with Downs as well as Taylor. And I know what
- 6:37Speaker 6: it's like to be able to have a big run
- 6:38Speaker 6: on the first play of the game, Monday night versus Dolphins, 78-yarder.
- 6:42Speaker 6: The next 11 carries, I averaged one yard per carry.
- 6:47Speaker 6: And JT's a great back, man. But the smart thing
- 6:50Speaker 6: for the Colts is to– Just keep him healthy.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Trade him off.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes today, including one to
- 6:57Speaker 2: rookie tight end Nate Borkature. Back-to-back games for the youngster
- 7:00Speaker 2: from Texas A & M in Nebraska. He is with
- 7:03Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks right now.
- 7:05Speaker 8: Hey, what a great game. Great win. Had a little touchdown.
- 7:09Speaker 8: Just talk about the effort today.
- 7:10Speaker 9: Yeah, it was great. I'd love to see how we
- 7:12Speaker 9: responded after a tough loss.
- 7:15Speaker 10: Had that bye to come back and kind of get
- 7:17Speaker 10: back to work and fix what we needed to fix.
- 7:19Speaker 9: And I thought we played really well. We left no doubt.
- 7:22Speaker 11: Yeah, leaving no doubt. I heard Liam talk about that
- 7:24Speaker 11: at halftime. There is a confidence and a professionalism and
- 7:29Speaker 11: a maturity about this team. I know you're only a rookie,
- 7:31Speaker 11: but what is it like to just walk into an
- 7:33Speaker 11: environment where the expectation is to win each and every week?
- 7:36Speaker 9: It's amazing. I'm blessed. I'm blessed.
- 7:38Speaker 10: You see a lot of players that get drafted to
- 7:40Speaker 10: an organization that struggles, and I'm blessed to be here
- 7:44Speaker 10: at such a good organization. starts from the top down,
- 7:47Speaker 10: you know, with the coaching staff, and then Trevor, he's
- 7:50Speaker 10: such a good example for all.
- 7:52Speaker 9: Of us, so I think we all feed off that.
- 7:54Speaker 11: You know, one of the things it appears that you
- 7:56Speaker 11: guys feed off of is the success of others. I
- 7:58Speaker 11: notice you guys are really happy when a teammate, a
- 8:01Speaker 11: pass catcher, someone does that.
- 8:03Speaker 8: Where does that come from?
- 8:04Speaker 11: Is that just something that has been created, or you
- 8:06Speaker 11: guys are just unselfish like that?
- 8:08Speaker 10: I think a lot of these guys are just unselfish.
- 8:11Speaker 10: You look at the tight end room, and You know,
- 8:13Speaker 10: someone gets a catch.
- 8:14Speaker 9: And we're all going crazy.
- 8:16Speaker 10: We just love to see each other succeed. It starts
- 8:18Speaker 10: with just the brotherhood that we have, the time we
- 8:20Speaker 10: spend together.
- 8:22Speaker 11: Last thing, because you've got a short week, how do
- 8:24Speaker 11: you get ready? It's the first time you've had a
- 8:25Speaker 11: Thursday night game. What have the guys talked about in
- 8:28Speaker 11: terms of getting ready for a short week, being able
- 8:30Speaker 11: to turn around and play quick Thursday?
- 8:31Speaker 9: Yeah, it's funny. The other day I was like, yo, Brenton,
- 8:35Speaker 9: how does this work?
- 8:35Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 8:37Speaker 9: Holy cow. But it's got to be a fast turnaround.
- 8:39Speaker 10: I was wondering, you know, maybe we simplify things or whatever.
- 8:42Speaker 9: But I guess we'll see. I'm excited to figure that out.
- 8:46Speaker 9: It'll be fun.
- 8:47Speaker 11: It will be a lot of fun. Congratulations on a
- 8:48Speaker 11: great win. Look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
- 8:50Speaker 9: Appreciate you.
- 8:51Speaker 2: That's Nate Borkature from the EverBank Vault. EverBank, advantage you.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Other banks talk a big game. EverBank delivers big results.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Set up your game plan at everbank.com slash jaguars. Let's
- 9:02Speaker 2: take a break. We will come back with more of
- 9:03Speaker 2: Jaguars postgame. 42-7, the Jaguars obliterate the Colts. I always
- 9:09Speaker 2: wanted to use that word to postgame show. You're listening
- 9:11Speaker 2: to the Jaguars postgame program on Jaguars Radio. Well, you
- 9:20Speaker 2: talk about a dominant performance as we are back in
- 9:23Speaker 2: the Hyundai studios on the Jaguars postgame show. 42 points. Hey, man,
- 9:29Speaker 2: the offense was dominant, but the defense, Coach Duffner, held
- 9:32Speaker 2: them to seven, and they were pretty sick to their
- 9:35Speaker 2: stomachs for even giving up that play. Oh, my gosh.
- 9:37Speaker 4: I mean, when you look at the first seven drives
- 9:39Speaker 4: of the game, Brian, five punts, a fumble recovery, and
- 9:43Speaker 4: an interception by Ray Lane for a touchdown. I mean,
- 9:45Speaker 4: you can't start a game with seven drives with any
- 9:48Speaker 4: better defense than that. It was exceptional by them.
- 9:51Speaker 2: All across the board, they got sacks, they got takeaways.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Hands all over the football today. I mean, guys making
- 9:56Speaker 3: plays on the ball. And I think it kind of
- 9:59Speaker 3: snowballs a little bit. uh when you're in that circumstance
- 10:02Speaker 3: and you know the other team's behind and they they
- 10:04Speaker 3: basically have to abandon the running game at a certain
- 10:06Speaker 3: point you can kind of tee off freddie is You know,
- 10:09Speaker 3: we always talk about the defensive ends pinning their ears back,
- 10:12Speaker 3: but those linebackers and guys in the secondary today were
- 10:15Speaker 3: ball hawking, man. I mean, they were all over the place.
- 10:17Speaker 3: I thought it was a great reaction by Ray Lane
- 10:19Speaker 3: on that. interception that he made. That ball got up
- 10:22Speaker 3: on him quick, and not only that, but if he
- 10:25Speaker 3: doesn't take it back, the Jags may not get any
- 10:27Speaker 3: points out of it because it was so late in
- 10:29Speaker 3: the half.
- 10:29Speaker 5: Yeah, without a doubt.
- 10:30Speaker 6: You know, and really coming into this game, when you
- 10:33Speaker 6: look at these two matchups, you have one team that
- 10:36Speaker 6: was positive turnover margin, and the Colts were on the
- 10:39Speaker 6: negative side of the turnover margin, and And you wanted
- 10:42Speaker 6: to make them one-dimensional, which is what they did in
- 10:45Speaker 6: the run game. Put the ball in Daniel Jones' hand,
- 10:48Speaker 6: was able to force turnovers there. The one, what was it,
- 10:51Speaker 6: 92-yard pick, six return for a touchdown. Again, and I
- 10:56Speaker 6: think Combs with the second one. And then the fumble there. So,
- 10:59Speaker 6: what is it, plus two? And turnover margin for the
- 11:02Speaker 6: Jacks today.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Three takeaways, one giveaway.
- 11:03Speaker 6: And really, that came down to be the key to
- 11:05Speaker 6: the game. So, shout out to the defense for stepping
- 11:08Speaker 6: up and doing what they were supposed to do.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Tony Buscelli told us earlier in the week that they
- 11:11Speaker 2: wanted to make sure that they got more snaps for
- 11:13Speaker 2: Rook Arororo. Now, the injury to Devon Hamilton obviously helped
- 11:17Speaker 2: create more of those. But he earned them on his own.
- 11:20Speaker 2: He finished with a couple of tackles today. He's with
- 11:22Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks in the Eberbank vault.
- 11:24Speaker 9: Buck?
- 11:25Speaker 8: Rook, big game, great defensive effort. Talk about what went
- 11:28Speaker 8: into that effort.
- 11:29Speaker 13: Shoot, honestly, just... Coming off a loss and a division game,
- 11:33Speaker 13: a division opponent, we just wanted to go out there
- 11:35Speaker 13: and just dominate. And that was the main focus is
- 11:38Speaker 13: just domination. And I think we did a pretty good
- 11:40Speaker 13: job of that today. A lot of things we can
- 11:42Speaker 13: fix as well. But, you know, as a defense, we
- 11:44Speaker 13: play really well, try to keep them behind the sticks
- 11:47Speaker 13: and get the quarterback down rushing well and create turnovers.
- 11:49Speaker 13: And I think we did a really good job today.
- 11:51Speaker 13: All right, so you're kind of a newbie to Jacksonville.
- 11:53Speaker 13: Just talk about this room.
- 11:54Speaker 11: When I look at you guys play, it looks like
- 11:55Speaker 11: you guys kind of have a bond and a brotherhood,
- 11:58Speaker 11: and no one really cares who gets the credit. What's
- 12:00Speaker 11: it like to play for a team that's like that? Shoot, man,
- 12:02Speaker 11: it's great.
- 12:02Speaker 13: When everybody's just selfless, you know, like, shoot, I may
- 12:05Speaker 13: not got the sack, but one of my brothers did,
- 12:07Speaker 13: and I helped cause that. And shoot, I may have
- 12:10Speaker 13: got the sack, but I know without the other three,
- 12:13Speaker 13: I wouldn't have got it. And so just playing with
- 12:15Speaker 13: a group of selfless guys and Guys that just want
- 12:17Speaker 13: to go out there and compete. It's just I landed
- 12:19Speaker 13: in a great spot, and I'm always thankful to God
- 12:21Speaker 13: for that.
- 12:21Speaker 8: Look, and think about being grateful.
- 12:24Speaker 11: Like, it's really funny watching guys play defense because I
- 12:26Speaker 11: see the effort, the strength. More importantly, I see the physicality.
- 12:30Speaker 11: I know Anthony Kempinelli can get a little salty at halftime.
- 12:33Speaker 11: But coming into the bye week, what was the emphasis
- 12:36Speaker 11: in terms of how.
- 12:36Speaker 8: You all wanted to play this week?
- 12:37Speaker 13: The emphasis was to dominate, honestly. The emphasis was to dominate. And,
- 12:41Speaker 13: you know, as a competitor, you want to go out
- 12:43Speaker 13: there and win every game, but that may not happen.
- 12:46Speaker 13: but what you can do is how you respond. You know,
- 12:48Speaker 13: we lost the last game we played. We got a
- 12:50Speaker 13: bye week to rest up and we need to go
- 12:52Speaker 13: out there and dominate. And we need to go out
- 12:54Speaker 13: there and win this game for the division, for the Jags,
- 12:56Speaker 13: for Jacksonville. And, uh, we did, we did that for y'all.
- 12:59Speaker 11: Look, man, look, the fan base is certainly excited, but
- 13:01Speaker 11: there's a big game coming up on Thursday, short week.
- 13:04Speaker 11: How do you mentally prepare for the quick turnaround is
- 13:06Speaker 11: about to take place?
- 13:07Speaker 13: The best thing is to just watch the game immediately,
- 13:10Speaker 13: flush it and take care of your body as fast
- 13:12Speaker 13: as you can. Like right now, I'm about to go
- 13:14Speaker 13: get an ice bath and, uh, sitting there for a
- 13:16Speaker 13: little bit, but the biggest thing is just recovery, not
- 13:20Speaker 13: only mentally, but physically as well.
- 13:22Speaker 11: Well, look, we're going to let you get a jump
- 13:23Speaker 11: start on that recovery. We look forward to seeing you
- 13:24Speaker 11: on Thursday night.
- 13:25Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
- 13:25Speaker 8: Appreciate you.
- 13:26Speaker 13: Thank you, my man.
- 13:26Speaker 2: All right, four sacks today. Foya Luokun had one. So
- 13:29Speaker 2: did Trayvon Walker, and then safety Jalen Husky late in
- 13:32Speaker 2: the ballgame, and Josh Hines-Allen and Eric Armstead split a sack.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Three takeaways. Rayon Lane, as Fred and Mike and Mark
- 13:39Speaker 2: were talking about, the 92-yard interception for a touchdown. Branson Combs...
- 13:44Speaker 2: also got engaged in that one. They had a fumble
- 13:47Speaker 2: recovery as well. Jonathan Taylor trying on a reverse to
- 13:52Speaker 2: give it to Josh Downs. The ball hit the turf
- 13:54Speaker 2: and the Jaguars. So three takeaways and four sacks. We'll
- 13:57Speaker 2: take a break. Come back with more from Everbank Stadium.
- 14:02Speaker 2: The Jaguars, 42-7 winners, 5-2 on the season. A three-game
- 14:06Speaker 2: lead in the AFC South. Back after this on the

- 14:36Speaker 2: check yet, but Basial Tootin, what a day. 16 rushing attempts, Fred.
- 14:41Speaker 2: For 104 yards and his best touchdown so far, a 39-yarder.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Also had two catches for 55 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown.
- 14:50Speaker 2: An explosive day for young Mr.
- 14:52Speaker 5: Tootin. Yeah, he, again, just allowing himself more opportunities.
- 14:57Speaker 6: You know, I think the more reps he gets, the
- 14:59Speaker 6: more we'll see explosive plays from Basial.
- 15:02Speaker 5: He's just one. you know, arm.
- 15:04Speaker 6: Tackle or break tackle away. We've seen some glimpses of
- 15:08Speaker 6: it earlier. I think he had a 40-something yarder callback
- 15:11Speaker 6: versus Cincy, and he's had a few other shorter runs callback,
- 15:15Speaker 6: but again.
- 15:16Speaker 5: He's patient.
- 15:18Speaker 6: He showed you the reason why the Jags took him
- 15:21Speaker 6: in the draft.
- 15:23Speaker 5: Just explosive, and he's only going to get better.
- 15:25Speaker 2: And it helps when he's got a A running mate, right?
- 15:28Speaker 2: I mean, Chris Rodriguez with a 28-yard touchdown. He had
- 15:32Speaker 2: that 25 a couple of weeks ago. I mean, those
- 15:36Speaker 2: two guys, if you let them, if they can get
- 15:38Speaker 2: it going, man, they make Trevor's job easy.
- 15:41Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh, yes. And Rodriguez right now, especially on
- 15:45Speaker 4: third down right now, you think he's leading the league
- 15:47Speaker 4: in turning third downs into first down. He had a
- 15:49Speaker 4: third and four today for another first down game. So,
- 15:52Speaker 4: I mean, again, what a one-two punch we've got.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and a big part of the passing game, too.
- 15:56Speaker 3: The passing game was really concentrated with the backs and
- 15:58Speaker 3: the tight ends today. You didn't really see much outside
- 16:02Speaker 3: the numbers at all. And, you know, Trevor Lawrence has
- 16:05Speaker 3: the confidence. He knows his back pocket. It's such a
- 16:08Speaker 3: beautiful play design we talked about. They go to Hunter
- 16:11Speaker 3: with the fake reverse, and they come back to Tootin'
- 16:13Speaker 3: on the other side.
- 16:14Speaker 2: All right, Bucky Brooks has head coach Liam Cohen down
- 16:16Speaker 2: in the Everbank vault.
- 16:18Speaker 8: Buck? Coach, great bounce back win after a bye week.
- 16:21Speaker 8: What went into it?
- 16:22Speaker 7: Yeah, the preparation, I thought it started throughout our bonus
- 16:27Speaker 7: day and then the week of practice. I thought our
- 16:29Speaker 7: guys were extremely locked in. The energy was there, but also,
- 16:33Speaker 7: excuse me, the intentionality of some of the fundamentals, being
- 16:37Speaker 7: more fundamentally sharp, having better practices, as we've kind of
- 16:42Speaker 7: emphasized and harped on. And starting fast was a big
- 16:45Speaker 7: part of that. And to come out and have the
- 16:46Speaker 7: 98-yard drive to start the game on offense, I thought
- 16:51Speaker 7: was great to set the tone.
- 16:53Speaker 9: And then we left no doubt.
- 16:55Speaker 7: That was the big part of it, and it really
- 16:57Speaker 7: went into a lot of the practice performance equaling game reality.
- 17:00Speaker 11: You know, it's funny because we've been around championship teams,
- 17:03Speaker 11: and you know there's a maturity and a professionalism that
- 17:06Speaker 11: comes when you're supposed to beat teams, and it's playing out,
- 17:09Speaker 11: and there's a sense that the team is not only confident,
- 17:11Speaker 11: but they understand what's at stake.
- 17:12Speaker 8: Talk about the growth of the team since you've taken over.
- 17:15Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the response to not the result we want, right,
- 17:19Speaker 7: and you look at the number of times it's happened.
- 17:23Speaker 7: Houston last year, and then you play the Chargers. Then
- 17:25Speaker 7: this year when we lost to Denver and you play
- 17:27Speaker 7: the Patriots, and then this year you lose again to
- 17:29Speaker 7: Houston and then respond with this game against Indy. They
- 17:34Speaker 7: had some guys out, obviously, that I'm sure impacted and
- 17:36Speaker 7: affected some of that game, but also it's a division
- 17:39Speaker 7: opponent and it doesn't really matter.
- 17:41Speaker 9: Any given Sunday, anything can happen.
- 17:43Speaker 7: I was very proud of the way that these guys
- 17:46Speaker 7: came out, especially when we lost some guys throughout the game.
- 17:49Speaker 7: You had some injuries and Next man up mentality. Rayon
- 17:52Speaker 7: Lane steps up, has a huge play. So very proud
- 17:55Speaker 7: of this group.
- 17:56Speaker 11: You know, there's a thing like going into Dubai, teams
- 17:59Speaker 11: look at, hey, this is how we wanted to play.
- 18:01Speaker 11: But now you self-assess and this is how we ought
- 18:03Speaker 11: to play. And it seemed like your team was really
- 18:05Speaker 11: locked in on running the football and being very physical
- 18:08Speaker 11: at the point of attack. How'd you guys get ready
- 18:10Speaker 11: to dominate the point of attack?
- 18:11Speaker 7: Yeah, it was emphasized throughout the course of the week.
- 18:14Speaker 7: I thought we, you know, ran it better throughout the
- 18:17Speaker 7: In practice, I mean, practice is always, like it should
- 18:20Speaker 7: be competitive, right? If you're good, especially this time of
- 18:24Speaker 7: the year, you're still relatively healthy in the bye.
- 18:27Speaker 9: And I thought our show teams gave us awesome looks.
- 18:31Speaker 9: It was competitive.
- 18:32Speaker 8: It was physical.
- 18:33Speaker 7: We had the pads on on Wednesday, and it showed up.
- 18:36Speaker 7: I mean, Albert Regis, Wesley Williams, guys like that that
- 18:40Speaker 7: are giving us a great look. And our offensive line
- 18:43Speaker 7: takes it seriously, right? They get pissed if they don't
- 18:45Speaker 7: win in practice. And we hold them to the standard.
- 18:49Speaker 7: They continue to elevate the standard and was able to
- 18:52Speaker 7: come out and do it against a division opponent today.
- 18:55Speaker 11: One of the things that I knew you were disappointed with,
- 18:57Speaker 11: like leaving London, was allowing so many big plays on defense.
- 19:01Speaker 11: And so today the ball was kept in the front,
- 19:03Speaker 11: didn't give up the big plays. Anthony Kimberley was in
- 19:06Speaker 11: his bag.
- 19:06Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 19:07Speaker 8: Fixing the defense or just making sure the emphasis is
- 19:09Speaker 8: always there. Talk about that a little bit.
- 19:11Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we settled them down a little bit
- 19:13Speaker 7: with some of the things we were calling, being able
- 19:16Speaker 7: to keep a little bit more depth to the safety
- 19:18Speaker 7: position and being able to keep things in front of
- 19:20Speaker 7: us and making you earn it a little bit more, right?
- 19:24Speaker 7: I think there's sometimes as a coach, right, you want
- 19:28Speaker 7: to create, right? You want to create a rush or
- 19:30Speaker 7: you want to create a big play, and sometimes it's
- 19:32Speaker 7: better to just, hey, Let's settle these guys down. Let
- 19:35Speaker 7: them just go play. Keep it in front of us
- 19:36Speaker 7: and let our play style show up. And I thought
- 19:40Speaker 7: Campy did a phenomenal job with the preparation this week,
- 19:43Speaker 7: getting the guys ready to go play, but also calling
- 19:46Speaker 7: it that way and staying true to those things throughout
- 19:49Speaker 7: the course of the game.
- 19:50Speaker 9: Which allowed our guys to go play fast.
- 19:52Speaker 8: Final thing, you've got a short week, Thursday night.
- 19:54Speaker 11: How do you handle it as a coach and as
- 19:55Speaker 11: a team to get ready for a big game against Baltimore?
- 19:58Speaker 7: It's been a little bit of a challenge because you
- 19:59Speaker 7: had a bye, but you're preparing for almost two games
- 20:03Speaker 7: in a way.
- 20:04Speaker 9: We've already... been preparing for Baltimore, right?
- 20:07Speaker 7: This whole week, we've had to be able, we've had
- 20:10Speaker 7: to do Baltimore preparation before this Colts game, which is
- 20:15Speaker 7: a challenge. It's always a little bit challenging. You never
- 20:17Speaker 7: want to get too far ahead, but tomorrow we have
- 20:20Speaker 7: practice with the guys, you know? So we have to
- 20:22Speaker 7: install the normal down and distance game plan with our
- 20:25Speaker 7: players tomorrow coming off of a game. And so that's
- 20:28Speaker 7: always challenging. We will not be a true practice. It'll
- 20:32Speaker 7: be some walkthrough installation, walk and talk stuff, get the
- 20:36Speaker 7: initial game plan in, and then Tuesday will be third down.
- 20:40Speaker 7: Wednesday will be red zone and travel. And you've got
- 20:43Speaker 7: to take advantage of every minute while also being cognizant
- 20:47Speaker 7: of these guys need to be able to rest and
- 20:48Speaker 7: recover knowing we're a little bit nicked up.
- 20:51Speaker 8: Well, look, I know you're going to get on that.
- 20:52Speaker 8: We're going to let you go. But, man, congratulations on
- 20:54Speaker 8: a great win. Look forward to seeing you Thursday. Thanks, Bucky.
- 20:56Speaker 5: I appreciate it, man.
- 20:57Speaker 2: That's the head coach from the Everbank Vault. Advantage you.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Bring home the W. When the Jags win, you win
- 21:04Speaker 2: a free Whataburger. We've got some news on that Baltimore
- 21:07Speaker 2: matchup on Thursday. Stay with us. We will cover that
- 21:10Speaker 2: when we return. The Jaguars throttle the Colts 42-7 at
- 21:15Speaker 2: Everbank Stadium today. And we'll return with more of Jaguars
- 21:18Speaker 2: postgame after this on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars postgame is presented
- 21:25Speaker 2: by GEHA. Brian Sexton, Mark Duffner, Mike Dempsey, Fred Taylor
- 21:29Speaker 2: with us. From the Hyundai Studios and PRI Productions is
- 21:32Speaker 2: the official event production company of the Jaguars. They have
- 21:35Speaker 2: everything you need to bring your next idea to life.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Visit PRIProductions.com. The coach referenced the Thursday night game, the
- 21:42Speaker 2: quick turnaround. Lamar Jackson today has an injury that is
- 21:46Speaker 2: potentially season-ending. He suffered a fractured thumb and has to
- 21:50Speaker 2: have surgery today. and is going to go to injured reserve. Meanwhile,
- 21:55Speaker 2: his backup, who's been playing while he's been dealing with
- 21:58Speaker 2: the high ankle sprain, Tyler Huntley, is uncertain because he
- 22:02Speaker 2: suffered a toe injury today. The only healthy quarterback on
- 22:06Speaker 2: Baltimore's roster is Joe Fanano? Fanano.
- 22:11Speaker 5: Fanano. That's what I'm going with.
- 22:12Speaker 2: That's what you're going with, right? He's an undrafted rookie
- 22:14Speaker 2: free agent quarterback from UConn, and he might be the
- 22:18Speaker 2: starter on Thursday night.
- 22:19Speaker 9: Good luck.
- 22:20Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, I mean, it was literally the first
- 22:23Speaker 3: play of the game for Lamar Jackson. He threw on
- 22:25Speaker 3: his follow through a defensive player, hit him right in
- 22:27Speaker 3: the hand. It was just one of those incidental kind
- 22:29Speaker 3: of things. And so he's down and, you know, he
- 22:32Speaker 3: makes that team completely different. You saw Derrick Henry has
- 22:36Speaker 3: been able to run the ball that effectively the last
- 22:38Speaker 3: few weeks, Freddie. because they don't have that threat in
- 22:40Speaker 3: the RPO game. Tyler Huntley's a mobile quarterback, but he's
- 22:43Speaker 3: nowhere near what Lamar is. And Huntley, even if he
- 22:46Speaker 3: plays now on Thursday night, the guy's going to be
- 22:48Speaker 3: playing with somewhat less than 100% foot. And that certainly
- 22:53Speaker 3: can't help the mobility either. Zay Flowers did not catch
- 22:55Speaker 3: a pass today because that's how poor the quarterback play was.
- 22:58Speaker 6: Yeah, Zay showed a lot of frustration over the televisions.
- 23:01Speaker 6: He was wide open on several plays. But, you know,
- 23:04Speaker 6: you throw a rookie, undrafted guy in there, a guy
- 23:07Speaker 6: who's just– sitting in the wings throughout the week as
- 23:11Speaker 6: an emergency quarterback, he's not paying a big deal.
- 23:14Speaker 5: And then you have to throw him in the fire.
- 23:17Speaker 5: And he doesn't want to get.
- 23:18Speaker 6: Out there versus a Jaguars defense who understands what the
- 23:21Speaker 6: job at hand will be, which is stop Derrick Henry.
- 23:25Speaker 6: Stop another premier back for a second week in a row.
- 23:28Speaker 6: Put the ball in the quarterback's hand. Put pressure on him.
- 23:31Speaker 6: Force him to get turnovers. make plays on the offensive side,
- 23:34Speaker 6: and hopefully come back home after a short week.
- 23:36Speaker 5: What a nice win for Baltimore.
- 23:38Speaker 2: You say Fanano. I'm going to call him Joe F.
- 23:42Speaker 9: Okay.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Joe F. today, 10 of 21 for 91 yards and
- 23:45Speaker 2: an interception. Derrick Henry, and they fell behind and couldn't
- 23:48Speaker 2: get back up. Only 11 rushing attempts today, but still
- 23:51Speaker 2: 4.8 per carry. He had 53 yards and a 12-yard
- 23:55Speaker 2: touchdown as well. So you know what you're going to
- 23:58Speaker 2: get from them, which is a smash-mouth offense– and coach
- 24:01Speaker 2: because you've seen this Baltimore thing from a couple of
- 24:03Speaker 2: different angles and you're going to see the defense but
- 24:07Speaker 2: whether they can score is up in the air well no.
- 24:11Speaker 4: Question and Flowers is having a career year I mean
- 24:13Speaker 4: geez he right now he's at the top of the
- 24:15Speaker 4: league in terms of play so I mean that receiver.
- 24:18Speaker 4: So there's going to be an issue there in terms
- 24:19Speaker 4: of how they can get him the ball moving forward.
- 24:21Speaker 2: By the way, that defense gave up 36. I was
- 24:24Speaker 2: just about to say. Now, you wonder how much of
- 24:26Speaker 2: that is just they get worn down, but they gave
- 24:29Speaker 2: up 426 yards total, 146 on the ground. So we'll
- 24:35Speaker 2: see what that defense has. That is for Thursday. We're
- 24:38Speaker 2: still talking about the Jaguars' resounding win. I'm trying to
- 24:41Speaker 2: use as many different adjectives to describe this one as
- 24:43Speaker 2: I can. 42-7 over the Indianapolis Colts today. And what
- 24:47Speaker 2: other things stood out to you? We talked about sacks.
- 24:49Speaker 2: We talked about takeaways. Those are all important. We talked
- 24:52Speaker 2: about the running game. Can we go back to Trevor
- 24:54Speaker 2: Lawrence for a moment? He didn't have to throw the
- 24:56Speaker 2: ball all over the yard, Fred. But when he did,
- 25:00Speaker 2: he made sharp throws like the 46-yarder to Brenton Strange
- 25:05Speaker 2: to set up the touchdown to Brian Thomas. And we
- 25:09Speaker 2: saw him with the nice step away from the pressure
- 25:12Speaker 2: to throw the ball back across the field to Nate Borkature.
- 25:16Speaker 2: His numbers aren't overwhelming, but his performance was. felt that way.
- 25:19Speaker 6: Yeah the numbers aren't overwhelming and that's okay i mean
- 25:22Speaker 6: i would love to see my starting quarterback on the
- 25:25Speaker 6: bench with 13 minutes to play healthy you know uh
- 25:29Speaker 6: 11 10 for 14 or 11 15 2 15 3
- 25:32Speaker 6: touchdowns uh just a great day uh just overall though
- 25:36Speaker 6: the type of balance that the offense had together and
- 25:39Speaker 6: i charted it going into halftime they had 113 yards
- 25:41Speaker 6: rushing 122 yards passing. And just being able to move
- 25:47Speaker 6: the ball around. You know, Mike alluded to the play-action game,
- 25:50Speaker 6: getting the tight ends involved. The one sneak route to
- 25:54Speaker 6: a for a touchdown, just a beautiful, you know, roll
- 25:58Speaker 6: out to the right, stepping inside the pocket, turning his body,
- 26:01Speaker 6: finding the tight end there for a touchdown. Trevor's continued
- 26:04Speaker 6: to improve each and every week with his decision-making, with
- 26:08Speaker 6: getting the ball out quick, and more importantly, with protecting
- 26:11Speaker 6: the ball and that's what they're going to need more of.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Yeah, and think of it this way, Coach.
- 26:16Speaker 3: If I told you before the game, Parker Washington, Brian Thomas,
- 26:19Speaker 3: Travis Hunter, and Josh Cameron will combine for two catches
- 26:23Speaker 3: for 28 yards, and the Jags will score 42 today.
- 26:27Speaker 3: I mean, you know, a lot of 12 and 13
- 26:29Speaker 3: personnel packages, and now they're showing you a lot of
- 26:32Speaker 3: things on film that are going to keep defensive coordinators
- 26:35Speaker 3: up for a long time because what kind of team
- 26:37Speaker 3: are they? One week they spread you out and they
- 26:39Speaker 3: throw it all over the lot. Another week they run it.
- 26:41Speaker 3: This week it was heavy. With the passing, the tight ends,
- 26:44Speaker 3: and the backs, and the running game, I mean, they
- 26:45Speaker 3: can beat you in a lot of ways.
- 26:46Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. They demonstrated them. As Coach talked about,
- 26:49Speaker 4: setting the tone in the first drive of the game.
- 26:51Speaker 4: I mean, they came out 98 yards as far as
- 26:53Speaker 4: that's concerned. And also, as I said, you know, ran
- 26:57Speaker 4: the ball, I think, nine times and threw it three times.
- 26:59Speaker 2: So, well done. 42-7, the Jaguars' big winners today. We'll
- 27:03Speaker 2: take a break, and when we come back, if Trevor
- 27:05Speaker 2: Lawrence is still at the podium, we'll check in with him,
- 27:07Speaker 2: plus final stats and much more on Jaguars postgame presented
- 27:11Speaker 2: by GEHA. We are back in Jacksonville after this on
- 27:14Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network. And we're back on Jaguars postgame
- 27:21Speaker 2: presented by GEHA. Before our Everbank stats check, let's check
- 27:26Speaker 2: in with the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence.
- 27:28Speaker 12: I mean, there's been some times where we haven't run
- 27:30Speaker 12: as good as we wanted to, but I think we've
- 27:33Speaker 12: been really consistent. Obviously, today was a huge day and
- 27:36Speaker 12: a really big day in that department. But as far
- 27:39Speaker 12: as just all year, we've been really consistent. We've been
- 27:41Speaker 12: close to breaking some long ones, and obviously, Basial had
- 27:44Speaker 12: the big one today that he broke, a couple tackles
- 27:46Speaker 12: and scored and took it the distance. So to see
- 27:48Speaker 12: those plays where we've been seeing them the past weeks
- 27:51Speaker 12: that were that close, you know, one broken tackle on
- 27:54Speaker 12: the safety, and we're out the gate, and Basial's been
- 27:56Speaker 12: able to hit more and more of those, I think,
- 27:58Speaker 12: as the season's gone on, and he's playing great. Seawright
- 28:02Speaker 12: had a big one as well. I mean, tough guy
- 28:03Speaker 12: to tackle. So all of our guys are doing a
- 28:05Speaker 12: good job, but we've got to keep building on it.
- 28:07Speaker 12: You know, it's not something that just happens. That's a mindset,
- 28:09Speaker 12: and running the football is really important, especially as we
- 28:11Speaker 12: get later in the season.
- 28:13Speaker 14: Trevor, first, congratulations on the win. My apologies first because
- 28:17Speaker 14: I just walked in here. Talk about how the 98-yard
- 28:21Speaker 14: drive to start the game just set the tone for
- 28:23Speaker 14: everything that you guys did for today.
- 28:25Speaker 12: Yeah, we just talked about it, but I know you
- 28:27Speaker 12: weren't in here, so I'll be quick.
- 28:29Speaker 5: No, you're fine.
- 28:29Speaker 12: Yeah, we just started with running the ball. I think
- 28:33Speaker 12: we got the run game going early. That's something that
- 28:34Speaker 12: we wanted to do was establish the run, and we
- 28:38Speaker 12: did that. Our guys did an awesome job up front,
- 28:40Speaker 12: and I think that was when we hit a big
- 28:42Speaker 12: one to Brenton, too, and play action. So there was
- 28:44Speaker 12: a couple moving parts there, but it started with I
- 28:47Speaker 12: think we ran at the first– I don't know, four
- 28:49Speaker 12: or five plays in a row, and we're really effective,
- 28:51Speaker 12: and that's really what got us going.
- 28:53Speaker 8: Trevor, Thursday night's going to be here quick.
- 28:55Speaker 4: How beneficial was it to not have to finish the game?
- 28:57Speaker 14: And also, what have you found is your best process
- 29:00Speaker 14: over the next couple.
- 29:01Speaker 10: Days to be ready?
- 29:02Speaker 12: Yeah, it comes quick. You know, to be honest, I
- 29:05Speaker 12: haven't played one in a while. It's been since, I think,
- 29:07Speaker 12: 23 was our last Thursday night game. But yeah, I
- 29:12Speaker 12: think it's Obviously, trying to get as healthy as possible.
- 29:14Speaker 12: We got a couple guys banged up, but it did
- 29:16Speaker 12: help that it wasn't necessarily deep into the fourth quarter
- 29:19Speaker 12: where all of our guys were playing. So I think
- 29:21Speaker 12: that is one benefit of today. But it's a quick turnaround.
- 29:25Speaker 12: I mean, we'll start first thing in the morning preparing
- 29:27Speaker 12: for Baltimore. Usually Monday, you watch the film of the
- 29:30Speaker 12: game you just played, and then you get Tuesday off,
- 29:32Speaker 12: and then you really start Wednesday. I mean, you start
- 29:34Speaker 12: watching tape before that. But it's going to start first
- 29:37Speaker 12: thing in the morning tomorrow. So I think just getting
- 29:39Speaker 12: the plan underway as soon as possible, get all the
- 29:42Speaker 12: information from the coaches as soon as we can to
- 29:44Speaker 12: get a jump start on it, and then, you know,
- 29:46Speaker 12: obviously it's not going to be the most physical week
- 29:47Speaker 12: of practice. So, you know, the coaches plan accordingly. I
- 29:51Speaker 12: think both teams, that's something that you have to consider is,
- 29:54Speaker 12: The game plan has to reflect the amount of time
- 29:56Speaker 12: that you have to prepare, and I think that's obviously
- 29:58Speaker 12: something that we're going to prepare for.
- 29:59Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for our coverage of Trevor
- 30:02Speaker 2: Lawrence's news conference. We've got a couple more minutes with
- 30:04Speaker 2: Fred Taylor before he has to get out of here. So, Fred,
- 30:07Speaker 2: any tricks of the trade as a player to get
- 30:09Speaker 2: ready for a Thursday night game, a short week, minutes
- 30:14Speaker 2: after a bruising game? It doesn't seem like there's a
- 30:18Speaker 2: lot you can do.
- 30:19Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the key is obviously recovery.
- 30:23Speaker 6: You want to make sure you're doing everything necessary to
- 30:26Speaker 6: help yourself recover, giving yourself an opportunity to feel the
- 30:29Speaker 6: best you can leading up to game day, whether that's
- 30:32Speaker 6: hot-cold contrast, straight-cold tub, stretching, massages, chiropractor, eating properly. There
- 30:38Speaker 6: are certain foods, nutrition-wise, that will allow you to recover better.
- 30:42Speaker 6: I used to down a ton of strawberries, or at
- 30:46Speaker 6: least I heard strawberries helped.
- 30:47Speaker 5: You As Coach Cohen said, from a preparation standpoint, they
- 30:53Speaker 5: had already been on it.
- 30:55Speaker 6: They had already been on Baltimore, and I know they
- 30:57Speaker 6: trust that their players are smart enough to be able
- 31:01Speaker 6: to differentiate between the game plans. I know Coach Duff
- 31:05Speaker 6: knows a lot about that and his installs back in
- 31:07Speaker 6: the day. But, yeah, the key is preparation. I mean,
- 31:11Speaker 6: not preparation itself, but recovery more than anything.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Coach, your perspective as a coaching staff, I mean, you
- 31:16Speaker 2: don't have to necessarily recover, but you don't have much
- 31:19Speaker 2: time to sleep.
- 31:20Speaker 4: No, you don't, and that's a key component right now
- 31:22Speaker 4: in terms of the assistants and the staff have done
- 31:25Speaker 4: a lot of legwork on the game plan right now.
- 31:27Speaker 4: And I think the coaches will taper it a little
- 31:29Speaker 4: bit to what they do best as they get ready
- 31:31Speaker 4: for this game. And I loved your strawberry reference. I
- 31:34Speaker 4: may use it myself.
- 31:35Speaker 8: That was well done.
- 31:36Speaker 2: You're going to actually use strawberries or you're going to
- 31:39Speaker 2: reference strawberries?
- 31:40Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to use them actually, not reference.
- 31:42Speaker 8: I like his reference too.
- 31:43Speaker 5: Strawberries and veggies, Coach. Strawberries and veggies. Get you back
- 31:45Speaker 5: in the game.
- 31:46Speaker 4: I'll take your coaching every day.
- 31:47Speaker 2: All right, Fred, we're going to let you get out
- 31:48Speaker 2: of here because we know you've got a flight to catch.
- 31:51Speaker 2: We will talk to you perhaps Thursday night in the
- 31:53Speaker 2: postgame show via Zoom.
- 31:54Speaker 5: I'm ready, man.
- 31:55Speaker 8: I'm always ready.
- 31:56Speaker 2: I'm just setting up the assumptive close that you will actually,
- 31:59Speaker 2: your schedule being what it is.
- 32:00Speaker 6: Man, the schedule is crazy, even crazier with the airlines.
- 32:05Speaker 6: I don't want to get into it, but I got
- 32:07Speaker 6: a few more minutes.
- 32:09Speaker 5: Can I hang out for another segment?
- 32:10Speaker 9: Stick around.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Let me do one more.
- 32:13Speaker 5: Can we do play of the game? I want to
- 32:15Speaker 5: see what you guys think it might be. Does your
- 32:18Speaker 5: show be?
- 32:18Speaker 9: I love it.
- 32:19Speaker 5: I just want to hang out a little bit.
- 32:20Speaker 2: I'm one of those nervous travelers that I always want
- 32:23Speaker 2: to give myself extra time. So I honestly thought I
- 32:26Speaker 2: was being magnanimous and I was giving you an opportunity
- 32:29Speaker 2: to not be so stressed. But if you're not going
- 32:31Speaker 2: to be stressed, we'll take a break. We'll come back.
- 32:33Speaker 2: We'll do Player of the Game.
- 32:34Speaker 8: I'm right here.
- 32:35Speaker 2: All right.
- 32:35Speaker 5: You know, I have patience. Then I hit the hole
- 32:37Speaker 5: and I go.
- 32:38Speaker 8: I won't be speeding.
- 32:39Speaker 5: I won't be speeding.
- 32:41Speaker 4: We love it.
- 32:41Speaker 5: But I'm ready.
- 32:42Speaker 8: I love you.
- 32:43Speaker 9: All right.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Hey, Jag fans, time to bring the energy. The Jaguars
- 32:45Speaker 2: scored in the third quarter. You score free Culver's medium
- 32:48Speaker 2: Wisconsin cheese curds with a purchase. The offer is available
- 32:51Speaker 2: for Culver's delicious rewards members. So we're going to have
- 32:54Speaker 2: one more segment with Fred. Then everyone's going to have
- 32:55Speaker 2: to get out of his way so he can make
- 32:56Speaker 2: it to the airport. Oh, wait, that's me talking again.
- 32:59Speaker 2: We'll take a break and come back after this on
- 33:01Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio. All right, time now for Jaguars Radio Network.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Player of the game voting. Have we ever established the rules?
- 33:10Speaker 2: With four of us? Well, with four of us, I
- 33:12Speaker 2: think it's pretty similar anyway. One, one, one, one and
- 33:15Speaker 2: a half. Everybody gets a vote. Freddie gets a vote
- 33:17Speaker 2: and a half. All right. No ties will be allowed.
- 33:19Speaker 5: Where do you go?
- 33:20Speaker 2: I'm going Basial 2.
- 33:21Speaker 5: All right.
- 33:22Speaker 2: I hope I'm not stealing everybody's thunder. Actually, I hope
- 33:24Speaker 2: I am. 104 yards on the ground, 6.5 yards a carry.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Scored a rushing touchdown, two catches, 55 yards, a very
- 33:33Speaker 3: impressive touchdown there as well, and look, he had the
- 33:37Speaker 3: long run, 39 yards, he had the 30-yard reception for
- 33:41Speaker 3: the touchdown, and I just think He displayed everything. He
- 33:44Speaker 3: displayed ball security. He displayed power, vision, balance, speed. He
- 33:49Speaker 3: had the total package today, so I'm giving my vote
- 33:51Speaker 3: to Basial 2.
- 33:52Speaker 2: There's one, Duff.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Absolutely Basial 2. Not even close. I mean, again, as
- 33:55Speaker 4: you mentioned, explosive runs, explosive catch on that screen for...
- 34:01Speaker 4: uh explosive pass i'm in a terrific game by him tooting.
- 34:04Speaker 2: All the way i'll just weigh in on that yep
- 34:05Speaker 2: there's three right there what do you say.
- 34:07Speaker 6: I mean i make it a full sweep and that's
- 34:10Speaker 6: kind of why i stuck around man i just want
- 34:12Speaker 6: to congratulate him personally on his first career 100 yard
- 34:15Speaker 6: day figuring you guys would also vote that way yeah
- 34:18Speaker 6: not only that he's player of the game but Congrats
- 34:21Speaker 6: on your first.
- 34:22Speaker 5: 100-yard game, my man. I know you're out there listening,
- 34:24Speaker 5: so job well done.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Well, he limped off the field at one point in
- 34:27Speaker 2: the first quarter. You thought, okay, yeah, let's make sure
- 34:32Speaker 2: that he's ready to go, that this is not serious,
- 34:34Speaker 2: and then he came back. And both of his big
- 34:37Speaker 2: play touchdowns were after he was evaluated. In fact, at
- 34:40Speaker 2: one point, I think he was in the tent.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, did he come back. I mean, like you
- 34:43Speaker 4: just said, I mean, in an explosive way, run, pass, everything,
- 34:46Speaker 4: so good. Kudos to him, like you said.
- 34:49Speaker 6: It's something about adrenaline and knowing how close you are
- 34:51Speaker 6: to your first career 100-yard day, too.
- 34:53Speaker 5: He felt it. You'll feel it later.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Second place is distant. It's like fifth place. But I
- 34:59Speaker 2: just want to, since you were congratulating him, I wanted
- 35:02Speaker 2: to throw it back out to Brian Thomas, Jr., that
- 35:04Speaker 2: he was able to get into the end zone. I
- 35:06Speaker 2: thought he had a terrific week on the practice. I
- 35:07Speaker 2: thought he caught everything in sight. And so I kind
- 35:11Speaker 2: of expected him to have a big day today based
- 35:12Speaker 2: on what I had seen from him this week. And
- 35:14Speaker 2: for him to grab that early one, especially that pass
- 35:17Speaker 2: was deflected at the line of scrimmage. And he still– remember,
- 35:19Speaker 2: we're talking about a guy who double catches things and
- 35:22Speaker 2: has not had sure hands. And that ball is wobbling
- 35:26Speaker 2: through the air to him. And for him to see
- 35:28Speaker 2: it and catch it, I mean, it was just like, okay,
- 35:30Speaker 2: good for him. Hopefully it's the start of something big
- 35:32Speaker 2: for him over the second half of this season.
- 35:35Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Real happy for him. And, again, I would just throw another–
- 35:40Speaker 4: Kudos to Trevor Lawrence. I mean, the poise that he
- 35:43Speaker 4: displayed today. I mean, there was a zero blitz where
- 35:45Speaker 4: he got hit big time. He throws it for 16
- 35:48Speaker 4: to Parker Washington. I mean, what a commanding game that
- 35:51Speaker 4: that guy had today.
- 35:52Speaker 2: We're giving out honorable mentions. Way on lane, man. I
- 35:56Speaker 2: was just about to say, don't have to mention him.
- 35:57Speaker 2: 92 yards.
- 35:58Speaker 3: He had three pass breakups, including that one, and had
- 36:01Speaker 3: a quarterback hit almost a sack on that play as well.
- 36:05Speaker 3: And he may get called upon to play a lot
- 36:07Speaker 3: more in the weeks to come.
- 36:08Speaker 2: On a day in which he goes into the game
- 36:10Speaker 2: because Eric Murray is out. The thought was perhaps Antonio
- 36:14Speaker 2: Johnson could play on Thursday night. We'll find out where
- 36:17Speaker 2: he's at. But we don't know about Eric Murray and
- 36:20Speaker 2: his elbows. So you may see more of him. And
- 36:22Speaker 2: Jalen Husky played late in the game and had a sack.
- 36:24Speaker 6: Sack.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Listen, when you win 42-7, Fred, there's lots of kudos
- 36:27Speaker 2: to pass around to everybody.
- 36:28Speaker 5: Without a doubt.
- 36:29Speaker 6: And again, kudos to Rayon for being ready. Big play,
- 36:32Speaker 6: stepping up, making that big stop against the Bengals there
- 36:35Speaker 6: a couple weeks back. And the bigger play today, the
- 36:38Speaker 6: pick six, man, the change flipped the game completely.
- 36:40Speaker 2: And more to Rayon Lane, because he has to do
- 36:43Speaker 2: his best Travis Hunter impression, and I'm not sure that
- 36:45Speaker 2: he's the guy who never gets tired, because... He is
- 36:49Speaker 2: your best special teams player. You have to have him
- 36:53Speaker 2: on the field if you want a chance to be
- 36:56Speaker 2: your best.
- 36:56Speaker 5: All right, Fred.
- 36:57Speaker 9: Appreciate it, guys.
- 36:58Speaker 5: Thanks for letting me hang out.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 37:00Speaker 5: See you in a bit.
- 37:01Speaker 2: We will come back and have an Everbank stats check
- 37:03Speaker 2: after this quick time out. And you're listening to Jaguars
- 37:09Speaker 2: postgame show on the Jaguars on Jaguars radio. And we're
- 37:18Speaker 2: back with Jaguars postgame presented by GEHA. Fred is gone,
- 37:22Speaker 2: but Mike and Mark are here in the Hyundai studios.
- 37:25Speaker 2: Time for an Everbank stats check. Everbank, advantage you.
- 37:28Speaker 4: All right.
- 37:29Speaker 3: Well, as you would expect, impressive in the Jaguars' favor. Today,
- 37:33Speaker 3: only one more first down. The Colts 18-17. That's about
- 37:36Speaker 3: as close as it gets.
- 37:37Speaker 9: How about this?
- 37:37Speaker 3: Held the Colts on third and fourth down combined to 23%
- 37:41Speaker 3: conversion rate. There were three out of 13 losses. Converting those,
- 37:45Speaker 3: Jags were 50%, 6 out of 12, which is an
- 37:48Speaker 3: excellent number. Total yards, 366 to 243 in favor of
- 37:53Speaker 3: Jacksonville here in the game. Would have liked to have
- 37:56Speaker 3: seen a few less penalties in the second half, but
- 37:59Speaker 3: 8 for 65 for Jacksonville, 9 for 54, pretty evenly
- 38:03Speaker 3: split overall. Jags with the, what do they have, four
- 38:08Speaker 3: sacks today, allowed three to the Colts. Some of the
- 38:11Speaker 3: individual numbers, Trevor Lawrence, 10 of 14, 2-10, three touchdowns
- 38:15Speaker 3: through the air. Basil Tootin on the ground, 16 for
- 38:19Speaker 3: 104 with a score there. Also was the leading receiver
- 38:22Speaker 3: today with two grabs for 55 yards, which matched Brenton
- 38:25Speaker 3: Strange in that category, the same exact number. But Tootin,
- 38:28Speaker 3: of course, with the touchdown through the air and on
- 38:30Speaker 3: the ground. Chris Rodriguez, 6 for 41, rushing with a
- 38:34Speaker 3: 28-yard score as well. Nate Borkacher only caught one pass today.
- 38:37Speaker 3: If you're going to catch one, make it go for
- 38:39Speaker 3: a 31-yard touchdown. And really, on the other side, not
- 38:43Speaker 3: much stands out in a positive way. Here's what the
- 38:46Speaker 3: Jags did to Jonathan Taylor today. It held him to
- 38:49Speaker 3: 2.9 yards a carry, and that's considering he was averaging
- 38:52Speaker 3: 19 per carry after the first carry of the game.
- 38:55Speaker 3: So four yards is what he got on the ground
- 38:58Speaker 3: on seven carries the rest of the day.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Amazing how they— kept him in the game in the
- 39:03Speaker 2: second half for a while and didn't try to feed
- 39:05Speaker 2: him the ball at all.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Let me just also shout out some defensive players here quickly.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Foye with a sack, Trayvon Walker with a sack, Husky
- 39:14Speaker 3: with his first career sack, Armstead and Josh.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Heinz-Allen split one as well.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Ray Lane, of course, with the 92-yard interception return, interception
- 39:22Speaker 3: for Branson Combs as well. Jags were just all over
- 39:25Speaker 3: it today in just about every category, as you would expect.
- 39:29Speaker 2: All right, how about a look at the UF Health
- 39:32Speaker 2: injury report brought to you by UF Health, the official
- 39:34Speaker 2: health care provider of the Jaguars. We mentioned them throughout
- 39:37Speaker 2: the course of the game. We do not expect good
- 39:39Speaker 2: news at all from the knee injury that Devon Hamilton,
- 39:42Speaker 2: the Jaguars' massive zero technique nose tackle, one of the
- 39:46Speaker 2: best in the game, left on a on a cart
- 39:49Speaker 2: in the first half, and we anticipate that that's going
- 39:52Speaker 2: to be bad news. Also, Ezra Cleveland left with an ankle,
- 39:56Speaker 2: and Eric Murray left with an elbow, and those are
- 39:59Speaker 2: the ones that.
- 40:00Speaker 8: We know of.
- 40:01Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you said it right, Brian, Coach, when
- 40:03Speaker 3: Brian remarked that it went from kind of you're trying
- 40:06Speaker 3: to add a luxury, a piece to put you over
- 40:08Speaker 3: the top maybe at the defensive tackle position, more of
- 40:10Speaker 3: a pass-rushing, penetrating position, disruptive type to now maybe a
- 40:13Speaker 3: necessity to get somebody in there to help you continue
- 40:16Speaker 3: to stop.
- 40:17Speaker 2: The run on the high level.
- 40:17Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've done it as good as anybody in
- 40:19Speaker 4: the league right now, so that is going to be
- 40:21Speaker 4: an objective for our personnel people looking for that kind
- 40:23Speaker 4: of guy. I'm still praying and holding out hope that
- 40:25Speaker 4: it's not maybe as bad as we think, but odds
- 40:28Speaker 4: are it looks like it's tough.
- 40:30Speaker 2: Yeah, those non-contact ones, man.
- 40:31Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough.
- 40:33Speaker 2: All right, we'll take our final break and come back
- 40:35Speaker 2: and preview a little bit more about Thursday night and
- 40:38Speaker 2: get set for the scoreboard show. For those of you
- 40:40Speaker 2: listening here in Jacksonville. You're listening to the Jaguars Post
- 40:44Speaker 2: Game Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Final couple of
- 40:52Speaker 2: minutes of Jaguars Post Game presented by GEHA. Mike, you
- 40:56Speaker 2: hoped that you would come in and have a strong performance,
- 41:00Speaker 2: eliminate any doubt, if you will, about this team being
- 41:03Speaker 2: the best team in the AFC South. Well, they got
- 41:07Speaker 2: the bonus plan today. Oh, no question about it.
- 41:09Speaker 3: Look, we thought the Jags were a superior roster, particularly
- 41:13Speaker 3: after the couple of deals that the Colts made this
- 41:16Speaker 3: week to lessen their talent pool. But the Jags did
- 41:19Speaker 3: everything you wanted to today except stay healthy at a
- 41:22Speaker 3: couple of key spots. And, you know, that's part of
- 41:24Speaker 3: the game of football, though. That's the National Football League.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Your opponent this week just lost their quarterback maybe for
- 41:30Speaker 3: the year in Lamar Jackson. So you're going to face
- 41:32Speaker 3: a Ravens team on a short week that may be
- 41:34Speaker 3: on their third string quarterback. So, you know, they have pride.
- 41:38Speaker 3: They're 4-4. It's going to be desperation. But that defense
- 41:41Speaker 3: has allowed 71 points over the last two weeks. They've
- 41:44Speaker 3: allowed games of 23-23, 31-35, and 36 in their eight
- 41:49Speaker 3: games this year. So this is not the Baltimore Ravens'
- 41:52Speaker 3: defense of the turn of the century. To be sure,
- 41:54Speaker 3: they have some good players. They're a good team. I
- 41:57Speaker 3: don't think they're on the Jags' level overall right now.
- 41:59Speaker 8: No, I don't either.
- 42:00Speaker 4: And 35 points last week in the second half against Cincinnati,
- 42:03Speaker 4: the most since 1997. So, as you just mentioned, they're
- 42:07Speaker 4: giving up points. They're struggling, tackling right now. They've had
- 42:10Speaker 4: some communication issues. You know, again, but all that aside,
- 42:14Speaker 4: focus in. It's all about us right now. Continue to
- 42:17Speaker 4: work on getting better. I'm talking about the Jaguars.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Anything in particular that you think has to be better?
- 42:22Speaker 4: Well, today they answered a lot of the stuff that
- 42:24Speaker 4: they saw, you know, in terms of– Before the bye,
- 42:28Speaker 4: in terms of explosives, they took care of that. We
- 42:30Speaker 4: got takeaways back. We got pressure on the quarterback. We
- 42:33Speaker 4: always got to affect the quarterback. I would continue to
- 42:35Speaker 4: focus on that any way we possibly can.
- 42:37Speaker 2: Especially when it's a rookie free agent.
- 42:40Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
- 42:42Speaker 9: Possibly.
- 42:43Speaker 3: I would think the one thing I'm concerned about is,
- 42:46Speaker 3: and we're not going to know until we see maybe
- 42:48Speaker 3: a few games play out, is how this run defense
- 42:51Speaker 3: holds up.
- 42:51Speaker 2: You're in the midst of it.
- 42:53Speaker 3: You already have the heart taken out of the Colts
- 42:55Speaker 3: in large measure today. You've got a lot of guys
- 42:58Speaker 3: with adrenaline flowing in them. We'll see what they can
- 43:00Speaker 3: do without Devon Hamilton, at least in the short term, Coach.
- 43:04Speaker 4: Another thing that's kind of sneaking up on us right
- 43:06Speaker 4: now is our kickoff coverage. We've got to work on that.
- 43:08Speaker 7: All right.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Also, for home games, the 50-50 raffle is brought to
- 43:12Speaker 2: you by No. 1 Duval Ford. For those of you
- 43:16Speaker 2: on our flagship station, 1010XL, here in Jacksonville, stick around.
