0:16
Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Van this morning.
0:17
Speaker 2: Kind on a seat in Brian Sexton, John Osier Wigney today,
0:20
Speaker 2: as we talk a little bit about the Jaguars heading
0:22
Speaker 2: into the Spy Week, they're gonna have some time off
0:25
Speaker 2: the recap regroup, try to go over some things after
0:27
Speaker 2: two kind of frustrating losses two weeks in a row.
0:30
Speaker 2: Let's start out with our big things today, brought to
0:31
Speaker 2: you by GEHA, Government Employees, Health Association Benefits for federal
0:35
Speaker 2: employees and retire Week. The big thing, number one is
0:38
Speaker 2: you got to get healthy. A lot of these issues
0:40
Speaker 2: kind of started springing up when injuries took place. Trayvon
0:43
Speaker 2: Walker dislocating his wrist, had to get surgery on that,
0:46
Speaker 2: and of course Brenton Strange has been missing as he's
0:48
Speaker 2: on IR now with a hip injury, and Brian I
0:51
Speaker 2: don't know if at all be fixed after the break.
0:53
Speaker 2: Obviously it'll take some time to work back, specifically for
0:55
Speaker 2: Brenton's Strange, but they gotta get those two guys back.
0:58
Speaker 2: I think those are two big missing pieces.
1:00
Speaker 3: And the key with Trayvon is to not have that
1:02
Speaker 3: full club and maybe have a brace or something where
1:06
Speaker 3: he can actually use his fingers. When you go on IR,
1:09
Speaker 3: you have to be going at least four games, so
1:10
Speaker 3: Vegas would be the first opportunity that the Jaguars could
1:13
Speaker 3: possibly bring him back to the active roster. But there's
1:16
Speaker 3: other guys too. Eric Murray's got a neck that's been
1:18
Speaker 3: bothering him now for a couple of weeks, and Robert
1:21
Speaker 3: Haines he had the hamstring and baseial tooton the shoulder.
1:24
Speaker 3: There are just some guys who are banged up, so
1:26
Speaker 3: hopefully these two weeks give them a chance to get
1:28
Speaker 3: back on the field somewhere closer to one hundred percent.
1:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's always guys that I'm covering a game and
1:36
Speaker 4: there's the Jaguars players down. I can't see the number.
1:39
Speaker 4: There's always a handful of guys you don't want on
1:41
Speaker 4: that list. There's three for me this year, forty one,
1:44
Speaker 4: eighty five and forty four, and two of those guys
1:48
Speaker 4: have been hurt, So I do think that matters. It
1:50
Speaker 4: can't be everything, but getting healthy I think will help
1:54
Speaker 4: this team, especially with Strange and Walker, be a more
1:58
Speaker 4: physical team that they were in the first four games.
2:01
Speaker 2: Definitely, always the folks of the bye week is to
2:03
Speaker 2: get healthy big thing Number two is going to be overcorrect.
2:06
Speaker 2: So while we're frustrated with the past couple of weeks performances,
2:10
Speaker 2: it's important to remember the team is four and three.
2:12
Speaker 1: John. You don't want to overcorrect. You're still doing a
2:14
Speaker 1: lot of things right.
2:15
Speaker 2: It's more about getting back to what they had been
2:17
Speaker 2: doing right the first couple of weeks.
2:19
Speaker 4: Well, the buzz work earlier in the week was we
2:20
Speaker 4: can't or the buzz words where we can't reinvent the wheel,
2:24
Speaker 4: and they say that, and it's true, because you can't.
2:28
Speaker 4: There's no time to do it, so there's no reason
2:30
Speaker 4: to even try. Look, the things that they're doing are
2:35
Speaker 4: not bad things, they're just not doing them well, meaning
2:40
Speaker 4: you know, pre snap avoidables, operation errors, those who have
2:44
Speaker 4: been the key And frankly, they have to figure out
2:47
Speaker 4: a way to go from seven sacks allowed to one
2:50
Speaker 4: or two. I don't think they're a great offensive line, Brian,
2:54
Speaker 4: in terms of being able to withstand.
2:55
Speaker 1: Pressure if the scoreboards against them.
2:58
Speaker 4: But they got to figure out a way to not
3:00
Speaker 4: be a seven sack team, and I think that's being
3:02
Speaker 4: in better situations offensively.
3:03
Speaker 3: Obviously, we've talked at length about the penalties you know, John,
3:07
Speaker 3: the Vegas game the Sunday after the buye, it has
3:12
Speaker 3: a bullsoun It's a very important game because the Jaguars
3:15
Speaker 3: will not have won for almost two month since having
3:17
Speaker 3: beaten Kansas City. They haven't played good football. You mentioned
3:20
Speaker 3: the sacks. They've not gotten any sacks the last two games.
3:23
Speaker 3: They got no takeaways either. They couldn't run the ball,
3:27
Speaker 3: they fell behind early, they made mental mistakes. So there's
3:31
Speaker 3: a lot of things that have been working against them.
3:33
Speaker 3: The Raiders don't appear to be a very good football
3:35
Speaker 3: team this year. They get beat thirty one to nothing
3:37
Speaker 3: in Kansas City last Sunday, but that doesn't mean they
3:40
Speaker 3: won't be ready to play when the Jaguars roll in there.
3:43
Speaker 3: And the Jaguars lost there last year. So there's a
3:46
Speaker 3: lot riding on what the Jaguars get done this week
3:50
Speaker 3: and then their preparation next week as they get ready
3:54
Speaker 3: to resume in Vegas.
3:56
Speaker 1: Good point.
3:56
Speaker 2: Our final big thing is road Warriors. You mentioned they're
3:58
Speaker 2: going on the road when they get that bye week
4:00
Speaker 2: to go to Las Vegas, but three out of four
4:02
Speaker 2: games are going to be on the roads. They're on
4:04
Speaker 2: the road in Vegas, they're on the road in Houston,
4:05
Speaker 2: they come back and play the Chargers, and then they're
4:07
Speaker 2: going on the road to.
4:08
Speaker 1: Play the Cardinals.
4:09
Speaker 2: So, Brian, I think the first part of the schedule
4:11
Speaker 2: is probably the toughest when I looked at it, but
4:13
Speaker 2: this kind of stretch was also a little bit daunting.
4:16
Speaker 3: Listen, if they get back to playing good football, I
4:18
Speaker 3: am firmly confident that they'll be able to succeed away
4:21
Speaker 3: from Jacksonville. But you know, we just mentioned that Raiders game,
4:25
Speaker 3: and then you got the Texans the week after and
4:27
Speaker 3: the Jaguars. As we know, it's been a long time
4:30
Speaker 3: since they've beaten the Texans in back to back weeks.
4:32
Speaker 3: It's been sent our pardon me twice in the same season.
4:35
Speaker 3: It's been since twenty seventeen since they have done that.
4:38
Speaker 3: So that's a huge game with a lot of implications,
4:41
Speaker 3: and then you come home to get the Chargers before
4:43
Speaker 3: those other road games. I mean, it's yes, you had
4:45
Speaker 3: a stretch where you had the Niners and the Chiefs
4:47
Speaker 3: and the Rams and the Seahawks, but it doesn't necessarily
4:51
Speaker 3: start easier in the second half.
4:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to play well. If they play well,
4:56
Speaker 4: they're fine on the road. They went to San Francisco
4:58
Speaker 4: in one. They should have be Cincinnati up there. I
5:01
Speaker 4: don't think this team has a road thing. I think
5:05
Speaker 4: they have a not playing very well thing right now.
5:09
Speaker 4: So the buy is at a perfect time, as they say,
5:11
Speaker 4: so I don't worry about the location of those games
5:15
Speaker 4: after the buye. I worry about them getting back to
5:17
Speaker 4: playing well.
5:18
Speaker 2: All right, Stay with us here on jag ZAMM. Coming
5:20
Speaker 2: up after the break, We're gonna go over some of
5:21
Speaker 2: the strengths and the struggles the team's been going through
5:24
Speaker 2: for the first seven weeks this season. The twelve years,
5:36
Speaker 2: dream Binders Homes have been proud to call themselves the
5:37
Speaker 2: official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. There's a Dreambinders Homes
5:40
Speaker 2: dot com to find all of the available inventory, Go
5:43
Speaker 2: Jags track here.
5:47
Speaker 1: On jags am.
5:48
Speaker 2: And it's bye week, So we're gonna look back and
5:50
Speaker 2: we're fleshed a little bit about the first seven weeks
5:53
Speaker 2: of what we've seen in Jaguars football so far this year.
5:55
Speaker 2: So we're gonna do a pro con. We're gonna do
5:57
Speaker 2: strength and a struggle. So, Brian, what's the strength and
6:00
Speaker 2: the struggle you've seen from the team so far Gone.
6:04
Speaker 3: Has instituted his brand of football right. They started four
6:08
Speaker 3: in one. They won in San Francisco, where they had
6:10
Speaker 3: never won before. They beat Kansas City on Monday Night Football.
6:13
Speaker 3: They're playing a physical brand of football, which is exactly
6:16
Speaker 3: what he promised when they hired him. Look, I mean
6:20
Speaker 3: he hasn't turned it all the way around, because we
6:21
Speaker 3: saw the game in London and that looked like some
6:25
Speaker 3: of the old Jaguars. But it's hard to be in
6:28
Speaker 3: this building. It's hard to not see how he has
6:32
Speaker 3: turned this thing in the direction that he wants to
6:35
Speaker 3: take it. It may take him more than this year,
6:37
Speaker 3: may take him into next year to get it where
6:39
Speaker 3: he really wants it to be. But I think he's
6:42
Speaker 3: been the highlight at this point. He really has brought
6:44
Speaker 3: an energy and you can see that his team rallies
6:48
Speaker 3: around him, and he's a transparent guy. What he says
6:51
Speaker 3: is we've seen in his postgame speeches that he allows
6:54
Speaker 3: us to tape in the locker room. Win or lose
6:56
Speaker 3: is the exact same thing that he says to the media.
6:58
Speaker 3: So I think he's been hit. I think they've nailed
7:02
Speaker 3: this one, and that's been the pro from the first
7:05
Speaker 3: part of the season so far.
7:06
Speaker 1: Hard to argue that.
7:07
Speaker 2: I think just his transparency as a whole has been
7:09
Speaker 2: really helpful this year.
7:10
Speaker 1: Good and bad. Good.
7:12
Speaker 2: So now he went the bat, Yes, well, what are
7:14
Speaker 2: they gonna work on? What's an improvement?
7:15
Speaker 3: That's a better way to put it. The quarterback he's
7:18
Speaker 3: played okay, right, he's been. He's not a top ten quarterback.
7:22
Speaker 3: He's not a bottom ten quarterback either. He's right in
7:24
Speaker 3: the middle average. But he hasn't played great. And he's
7:29
Speaker 3: your franchise guy, and you need to get him from
7:32
Speaker 3: good to great. And there's two or three plays in
7:36
Speaker 3: every game that you can go back and point to
7:38
Speaker 3: and say, what was he thinking right there? The one
7:41
Speaker 3: that I point out the most is Brenton's strange lined
7:43
Speaker 3: up behind him on the goal line against Kansas City,
7:45
Speaker 3: not to lift him over the top, right, He's supposed
7:48
Speaker 3: to put a shoulder out and go. Instead he jumps up,
7:50
Speaker 3: loses the ball on the goal line. There's just little
7:52
Speaker 3: things like that that he has to clean up. John.
7:56
Speaker 3: This guy is he's supposed to be the franchise quarter back,
8:00
Speaker 3: and I get it, guys drop balls. The running game
8:03
Speaker 3: hasn't worked. Brighton Strange has been out, but if the
8:05
Speaker 3: Jaguars are going to get this thing going in the
8:07
Speaker 3: second half of the season, they need him to play,
8:10
Speaker 3: to use a coaching term, a little bit more above
8:12
Speaker 3: the x's and o's.
8:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Liam talks about playing well in the gray,
8:16
Speaker 4: and he hasn't always played well in the gray. Played
8:19
Speaker 4: okay at times against Kansas City. He has lifted them
8:22
Speaker 4: at times and situations, but he hasn't played well in
8:25
Speaker 4: the gray.
8:26
Speaker 1: I don't know if he will.
8:30
Speaker 4: He needs to, and I think it's it's a huge
8:33
Speaker 4: in the last ten games. I agree with you his
8:36
Speaker 4: ability to be above the x's and o's to make
8:39
Speaker 4: instinctive things. At some point a quarterback has to do it,
8:42
Speaker 4: and he hasn't done it enough.
8:44
Speaker 2: That's become a little more institual for sure. John, what
8:48
Speaker 2: is what's your strength? What have you seen from the well?
8:51
Speaker 4: You know this may be a little too vague for
8:52
Speaker 4: the question, but the quality wins. I mean, yeah, they
8:54
Speaker 4: beat Carolina, who's now four and three, They beat San Francisco,
8:59
Speaker 4: and they beat yeah, Kansas City.
9:02
Speaker 1: I mean, if you picked teams.
9:05
Speaker 4: From conferences, the best three teams in the NFL the
9:09
Speaker 4: last five year or that's four than the Bills, the Niners.
9:13
Speaker 1: The Chiefs, and probably the Eagles, right, but they beat
9:16
Speaker 1: two of them.
9:17
Speaker 4: So I don't think you can take away the fact
9:19
Speaker 4: that there are formulas and when this team plays a
9:22
Speaker 4: certain way, they can play with those guys.
9:24
Speaker 1: That means, you.
9:25
Speaker 4: Know, everybody plays this game where they're gonna win what
9:28
Speaker 4: they're gonna lose. Who's you know, Well, they can beat
9:30
Speaker 4: any team on the schedule because they beat Kansas City
9:33
Speaker 4: and San Francisco, but they have to play that way.
9:36
Speaker 4: So finding a way to get back to what works
9:39
Speaker 4: for you is the key.
9:40
Speaker 2: And the second half the season, yes, especially because when
9:43
Speaker 2: we're looking at strength of schedule, it should be a
9:45
Speaker 2: little bit easier on the back half.
9:47
Speaker 4: But there's some power teams left and I think most
9:48
Speaker 4: people are gonna write those games off.
9:50
Speaker 3: I don't think they can.
9:51
Speaker 4: With this team if they play their games and for
9:54
Speaker 4: the needs to work on. You know, everybody knows where
9:57
Speaker 4: I'm going with it. It's the little things. Robert Hainsey
10:01
Speaker 4: talked this week about operational. You know, it's kind of
10:04
Speaker 4: become the buzzword. They have been very good operationally. It's
10:09
Speaker 4: an old coach's cliche but let's clean everything up and
10:14
Speaker 4: see if we're any good or not, because right now
10:16
Speaker 4: there's no way to know because they don't even get
10:18
Speaker 4: to the situation to see if they're good. So until
10:23
Speaker 4: they clean that up, I'm gonna be sitting on this
10:26
Speaker 4: couch talking about it every week because you can't win
10:30
Speaker 4: in the NFL with this team right now if you're
10:33
Speaker 4: behind everything all the time.
10:35
Speaker 3: It's an often used word and it's pretty vague, but consistency.
10:40
Speaker 3: Right this team does not play consistent. They'll play up,
10:43
Speaker 3: they'll play down, but they never seem to find that
10:46
Speaker 3: level of consistency either running game. You know in the
10:49
Speaker 3: past defense, what you were just saying is that they've
10:52
Speaker 3: got to figure out how to play consistent football. And
10:54
Speaker 3: that's when the coaches gonna be harping on that the
10:56
Speaker 3: second half of the season.
10:57
Speaker 2: No more penalties, No more penalties for me. I went
11:02
Speaker 2: with their strength kind of being the buy in right.
11:04
Speaker 2: So the last couple of years things have gone awry
11:07
Speaker 2: and felt like everybody was kind of on their own.
11:10
Speaker 1: I don't feel that out of this team. And even after.
11:12
Speaker 2: Two bad losses and one really kind of a blowout
11:15
Speaker 2: loss in London, you don't feel disjointed by it.
11:18
Speaker 1: By any means.
11:20
Speaker 2: I think everybody's taking responsibility for their part in this
11:23
Speaker 2: and not pointing the finger at each other at this
11:25
Speaker 2: point in the season, and for that, I think a
11:27
Speaker 2: good team knows not to do that.
11:29
Speaker 1: But it's more difficult than you realize.
11:31
Speaker 2: When you're in it right it's very easy to be like.
11:34
Speaker 1: Oh, well, this guy should have been doing whatever.
11:36
Speaker 2: And they're not doing that right now, and I think
11:37
Speaker 2: that's huge, And that's what good teams do, is they
11:39
Speaker 2: find to figure out a way to fix what they're
11:42
Speaker 2: doing and they don't point the finger at each other.
11:44
Speaker 2: So for them, I'll give them a strength and character
11:46
Speaker 2: of not letting things derail them.
11:48
Speaker 1: And I don't think that they're going to.
11:49
Speaker 2: I think after the buye we come expecting the good
11:51
Speaker 2: outing in Las Vegas, and hopefully it'll prove me wrong.
11:54
Speaker 2: But I think they'll be able to bounce back and
11:56
Speaker 2: get a quality win there on the road against the
11:58
Speaker 2: team that they should be in terms of a struggle.
12:01
Speaker 2: And something I think they need to work on is
12:03
Speaker 2: just getting in a flow. Everything feels really choppy right now.
12:06
Speaker 2: They haven't been able to kind of end this penalties
12:08
Speaker 2: involved as well, and there a little bit of the quarterback.
12:11
Speaker 2: I think maybe both of your struggles combined into this.
12:13
Speaker 1: But getting themselves going early, whether it's.
12:16
Speaker 2: Even on defense, getting takeaways, flying around, getting their hands
12:19
Speaker 2: on the football. They need to get back into that
12:22
Speaker 2: aspect of their game where they're playing fast and they're
12:25
Speaker 2: not sitting and thinking about every single thing they're doing,
12:28
Speaker 2: because when they play like that, that's just not how
12:30
Speaker 2: they're going to win football games.
12:31
Speaker 3: To your point on buy in, I think that was
12:34
Speaker 3: where the four and one start was so important. I mean,
12:36
Speaker 3: you had guys that believed in the things that Liam
12:39
Speaker 3: had been talking about, and they had results based on
12:41
Speaker 3: all of their hard work that should carry them through
12:45
Speaker 3: this two game stretch where things sort of fell apart.
12:49
Speaker 1: If this team continues to.
12:51
Speaker 4: Have buy in to make their bare minimum and nine
12:54
Speaker 4: win take so, I think they will. I think they'll
12:57
Speaker 4: end up nine or ten ish cause I don't think
13:00
Speaker 4: they're gonna lose faith in the direction.
13:02
Speaker 1: Absolutely stay with us.
13:03
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk a little bit about what's been going
13:04
Speaker 2: on in the AFC South.
13:05
Speaker 1: Coming back to the right jag XAM brought to you
13:18
Speaker 1: by Fields Auto.
13:18
Speaker 2: Groups Seafield's first Jacksonville's premier luxury auto group. Head over
13:21
Speaker 2: to Fields Auto dot com.
13:24
Speaker 1: You're on jack Zam.
13:25
Speaker 2: It's on the bye week, so we're checking in a
13:26
Speaker 2: little bit around the AFC South see what's going on,
13:28
Speaker 2: so we can keep track of things.
13:29
Speaker 1: And the Colts just keep on winning.
13:31
Speaker 2: Every time I look over the box score, getting another
13:34
Speaker 2: dub at six to one.
13:35
Speaker 1: Now they're like your.
13:38
Speaker 2: New right, I think at this point, like I wondered
13:42
Speaker 2: whether they were legit or not, but they seem to
13:44
Speaker 2: be legit.
13:45
Speaker 3: Well, listen, we were talking about Daniel Jones and how
13:48
Speaker 3: he's unlocked, Jonathan Taylor, who is among the better backs,
13:51
Speaker 3: maybe the second best back in the league, although might
13:54
Speaker 3: be the best back in the league. The shyercase sake
13:55
Speaker 3: one Barkley is struggling. Yeah, but it's it's more than that.
14:00
Speaker 3: Their offensive line. John has two very good tackles, Bernard Ryman,
14:04
Speaker 3: the young left tackle and Braden Smith. And Quenton Nelson
14:07
Speaker 3: has long been one of the better guards in the league,
14:09
Speaker 3: and it looks like he's back to playing at his level.
14:11
Speaker 3: But then there's the X factor and a guy that
14:12
Speaker 3: I loved coming out in the draft, that's Tyler Warren,
14:15
Speaker 3: the tight end they can use in so many different ways.
14:18
Speaker 3: They've got this juice, this momentum going where they feel
14:22
Speaker 3: it right now, and they are playing really good football,
14:25
Speaker 3: beating good teams. They should have beaten the Rams in LA,
14:28
Speaker 3: which tells you how good they're capable of being, and
14:31
Speaker 3: then they go out and beat the Chargers in LA.
14:34
Speaker 3: They should have two wins on that field this year.
14:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're six and one and they had a couple
14:38
Speaker 4: of wins. They're probably where they should be. I think
14:42
Speaker 4: the Chiefs are starting to look again like the best
14:45
Speaker 4: team in the AFC.
14:46
Speaker 1: But the Colts are right there with him.
14:48
Speaker 4: So the Jaguars task right now is going to be
14:52
Speaker 4: to try to get the ship right, get back to
14:56
Speaker 4: where they're two games behind him, so they're still in range.
14:59
Speaker 4: Can pulling back in?
15:01
Speaker 2: Did you?
15:01
Speaker 4: Aways have a big task to stay within range of
15:03
Speaker 4: the Colts until December because they're better than people thought,
15:08
Speaker 4: and Daniel Jones has been the stabilizing factor there.
15:12
Speaker 2: And it seems like as we look at the Texans
15:14
Speaker 2: who fell on Monday Night football to a really good
15:16
Speaker 2: Seahawks team though we just played, it seems like the
15:18
Speaker 2: Coults are now the team that really needs to focus
15:20
Speaker 2: on because the Texans seem to be going through some
15:22
Speaker 2: struggles right now from maybe what was expected. They had
15:25
Speaker 2: a tough end of their year last year, but now
15:27
Speaker 2: they seem to be trying to figure things out.
15:29
Speaker 4: Well, they're trying to get offense figured out, and they
15:32
Speaker 4: sort of reset a lot of things in the off season,
15:35
Speaker 4: which you know, usually there's exceptions, but as we've seen here,
15:39
Speaker 4: it takes offenses a while to get going, and they're
15:43
Speaker 4: not going at all offensively. So the look the best
15:48
Speaker 4: quarterback in divisions Jane Jones, which we would have thought
15:51
Speaker 4: because C. J. Stroud and Trevor Lawrence are sort of
15:55
Speaker 4: middling right now and both frankly sort of look like
15:58
Speaker 4: they're having the same sort of of trying to get
16:01
Speaker 4: through this part of their career until they decide what
16:04
Speaker 4: they are. So Texans are a good defense. But I thought,
16:09
Speaker 4: if you watch this game, I'll go back to the Jags.
16:11
Speaker 4: The Jags were better and can see how's the Texans work?
16:13
Speaker 4: I thought, you know, and defensively, the Jaguars did not
16:17
Speaker 4: get gashed in the running game, and it sort of
16:19
Speaker 4: looked at times like the Texans couldn't stop their run.
16:22
Speaker 4: So the Texans aren't done, but they have a steep
16:27
Speaker 4: road to get back with the way they're playing offensively.
16:29
Speaker 3: Yea, and they could be a couple of games behind
16:31
Speaker 3: you by the time you see them again. It's the Colts.
16:34
Speaker 3: The Colts still have to see the Chiefs. The Colts
16:36
Speaker 3: still have to see the Seahawks. The Colts still have
16:37
Speaker 3: to see the forty nine ers. There's an opportunity if
16:40
Speaker 3: you start playing good football, for you to catch them
16:42
Speaker 3: before you even play them and you see them twice.
16:45
Speaker 3: But the margin for error becomes narrow if you don't
16:48
Speaker 3: start playing good football. Because the Colts, as you just said,
16:50
Speaker 3: have the best quarterback in the division right now, and
16:53
Speaker 3: people in New York are scratching their head saying, wait,
16:55
Speaker 3: that's Daniel Jones, right, But Sayakwad Barkley always said, if
16:58
Speaker 3: you put that guy with a legitimate offensive line at
17:02
Speaker 3: a running game, he can do it.
17:04
Speaker 1: And that's all way. Yeah, bears mentioned as well.
17:07
Speaker 2: Mike Rabel returns to Tennessee and gets a big win
17:10
Speaker 2: because all of a sudden, the Patriots are not looking
17:12
Speaker 2: so bad themselves.
17:13
Speaker 1: Lean the AFC East, so I still think to this.
17:17
Speaker 2: Day Mike Rabel not being this division was a huge
17:20
Speaker 2: benefit to the Jaguars and every other team because from coach.
17:24
Speaker 3: They listen to. The Jaguars through their history have made their
17:27
Speaker 3: share of errors where you scratch your head. In two
17:30
Speaker 3: thousand and four they took Matt Jones instead of Aaron Rodgers, Right.
17:35
Speaker 3: I mean, those sorts of things haunt you over time.
17:39
Speaker 3: Oh Sorr two thousand and five, not having Mike Rabel,
17:42
Speaker 3: letting that guy go. They're five and two his first
17:46
Speaker 3: season up there, Drake May has played great football and
17:49
Speaker 3: the Titans meanwhile, you know they've just fired their coach,
17:52
Speaker 3: so next year's a learning curve for a young quarterback.
17:56
Speaker 3: We've seen this ship twenty one, twenty two here. They
18:00
Speaker 3: should never have fired Rabel. They should have given him
18:02
Speaker 3: a chance to build it again, because boy, the Patriots
18:05
Speaker 3: look like they're playing great football. Yeah.
18:06
Speaker 4: I think a lot of franchises fall into this. You know,
18:09
Speaker 4: you have some success with Rabel, which they did, you
18:12
Speaker 4: don't quite get there and you think, oh, we got
18:15
Speaker 4: to blow the whole thing up. If we don't win
18:17
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, then you know we have failed on
18:21
Speaker 4: some level. You have failed if you win the Super Bowl.
18:23
Speaker 4: But on another level, you have to realize it's hard
18:26
Speaker 4: to win that Super Bowl. They were consistent franchised with Rabel,
18:29
Speaker 4: and uh, you know they're not right now, so they're
18:34
Speaker 4: they don't.
18:35
Speaker 3: Sometimes you don't recover from those mistakes, and for our sake,
18:39
Speaker 3: I hope that well, not just because I just remembered
18:41
Speaker 3: that it was you know four that the Jaguars took
18:44
Speaker 3: Reggie Williams a wide receiver instead of Ben Roethlisberger. Maybe
18:47
Speaker 3: you've heard of them. Super Bowl Mvpno. Five they passed
18:49
Speaker 3: to Aaron Rodgers, and we know the Jaguars trajectory since
18:53
Speaker 3: that moment in time. When you let these things wait,
18:58
Speaker 3: sometimes you don't recover from them big.
19:00
Speaker 2: It's definitely hurting when you look and you play a
19:01
Speaker 2: team like the Patriots or five and two right now,
19:03
Speaker 2: and Rabel's got everything going, by the way, has klebon
19:05
Speaker 2: Chase on playing amazing might be getting some big paycheck,
19:09
Speaker 2: So that's interesting as well.
19:10
Speaker 1: But say West, we'll tell you what's going on the
19:12
Speaker 1: rest of the bye week after.
