  Speaker 1: CBS Sports play by play man Andrew Catalan joining us
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: week seventeen. You can't get enough Jaguars football, Andrew. We
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: appreciate your time as always, JP great to talk with you.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you and everyone in Jacksonville. Thank
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to you. And here we go. The Jaguars are done.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: They've done it. They've got the number one overall pick
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in the one NFL draft. With a loss last week
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to the Bears and another Jets win, and people here
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: testing positive for Trevor fever. It's all over Jacksonville. But
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: still there's a lot to be done between now and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: draft day. There's gonna still get the guy who's going
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to pick number one overall, the new g M. There's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: possibly other changes coming down the line, and the kid
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: has two football games maybe still to play, and he
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: has to declare for the draft. That's a lot to happen.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But people are fired up here in Jacksonville, and I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: guess rightly so. The Jags have never had the number
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: one overall pick. I agree with you. It's been uh
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: an incredibly tough season for the Jaguar cars and their fans,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and I think that there was probably some element where
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you knew all right there they are going to rebuild.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: This could be a tough year, but not to this extent.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And look, I mean this is this is like hitting
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the lottery. You got this kid who everyone says you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: can't miss. No one's going to hand in a winning
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: lottery ticket. That's kind of the way I look at it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So if you're a Jaguars fan and you're excited, I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: think you have every right to be. You should enjoy
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the next few months as you sort out the things
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that you said GM and maybe other changes, and then
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: get ready for what should be um a really exciting
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you hope, ten fifteen years with one guy under center,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: which is something we know they have not had for
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a long long time in Jacksonville Clemson. To lose the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: first game and then you know then no, no, don't
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: even worry about the second game. That's that would be ideal. Yeah,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just rest up right, get ready for O. T A s.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Get the bubble wrap ready, Andrew cattle on with us. Now,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: today's game, of course, the Jaguar in Indianapolis to face
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the Colts, and the Colts have to win the playoff.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Chances that it comes down to this game and they
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: need a little bit of help as well. There would
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: be panic in the streets of downtown Indy if they
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: missed the playoffs with ten or eleven wins and because
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of the Jaguars, they beat him in Week one somehow,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and if they come out and beat them in Week seventeen,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that would be peak twenty for Indianapolis fans. Yeah, you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: look back at that Week one game and there's a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance that's gonna keep Indianapolis out of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And you're right, it's crazy to think that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: with an extra playoff team this year that in a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: leaven win Colts team may still be on the outside
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: looking in. I think the Colts are very good. They're
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a team that if they do get in the playoffs,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I think they can make some noise, especially in the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a f C, where I don't think there's a clear
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: cut dominant team. And that's no disrespect to the Chiefs,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: who are home for the first round, but I just
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: feel like any of these teams can get on a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: run and get hot in the a f C, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the Colts are included, but who knows what's gonna happen.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Pittsburgh is not playing their guys.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Who knows how Buffalo is gonna treat this. Uh, you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Baltimore is going to into Cincinnati and the Ravens is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars just found out a couple of weeks ago
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a red hot, and you know the Titans are going
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: into a Houston team that's that's been down. So you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the odds are, I believe, a little bit stacked against them.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You'd like to think, if you're a Colts fan, that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that one of these games would go your way, but
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it's very possible they'll be the third team with eleven
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: wins to not make the playoffs. You get a love
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Week seventeen when the games get moved and the competitive
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: balanced things happen and everybody's playing at the same time.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: This is if you're in the playoff race. It doesn't
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: get much more exciting than this. I love it too.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just the drama that you you just
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you go in on paper, you're like, all
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: this will happen, that it will happen, maybe this, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you have no idea. I mean, you look at last
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: week and the Jets winning, and you know the way
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the Jets have won their last two games. No, but
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he thought that, Um, you know so, I just think
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that we should be set up for a great conclusion
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to the regular season. It's obviously been a crazy year,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: but for the NFL to get to this point where
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it looks like we're gonna get all the games in
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: with no extra weeks, and yeah, we've played on Fridays
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and Wednesdays and Tuesdays, but here we are. We're we're
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: set up for a great finish, uh today on Sunday,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and it feels like they're going to get all two
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hundred fifty six in. That is pretty remarkable. Andrew Catalan
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: with us from CBS Sports, Well, when the team has
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: lost fourteen in a row, not many coaches can survive that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That is the feeling that, you know, Doug Brone might
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: not survive this. Let's say, let's reflect on his tenure
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: here though. Remember he came in here as an assistant
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and offensive line coach after his running Buffalo for a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: couple of years. He was the interim head coach at
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the end of sixteen, hired in seventeen full time. They
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: had the playoff run issues the eighteen and nineteen with
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the roster and big names wanting to get out of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: here and the team not playing well, and we have
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: seen what has happened with a lower talent level on
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the roster. It's amazing though, Like Jaguar fans love Doug
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Moron because I think of his personality and how he's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: handled it. But losses are losses, and that's what happens
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in the league. Sometimes change happens. Yeah, it is a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: tough one for me as well, because I personally liked
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Doug um. I think that he has grown a lot
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: since his time in Buffalo, and I think that's a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: good lesson for a lot of people that you know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you might come up a certain way and think this
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: has to be the way, but but you have to adapt.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And I think that behind closed doors, Doug Moron has adapted,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and I think that he has become more of a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: player's coach now. Not not for everyone, and we know
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it's been public that you know, some people didn't see
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: eye to eye with him, But to me, he's pretty
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: much a straight shooter, and I think that that's what
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you gotta like about him. And I also think he's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a really good football coach. I think that he can
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: get the best out of you, I think I think
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that he has a way to motivate, and he may
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: not be for everyone, but I I believe that he
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is a very good coach in the NFL. Now, as
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you pointed out, when when you've had these last few
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: years and you have a new changing of the guard,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: so it seems at quarterback you've already fired your GM,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it could be time just for a clean fresh start.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But to me, I think that Doug Marone is the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: type of guy that, uh if he is let go,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: would be worthy of of of certainly another head coaching
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: job in the NFL, because I think that he has
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: changed who he is, He's adapted to today's NFL, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I think that he's a guy that can win your
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: football games if put in the right position. Andrew Catalan
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with us, how about your schedule ahead this week seventeen?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: That means you're done with the NFL? Right? Are you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: doing playoff games? What's up? Now? I'm gonna go take
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it a nap JP is game ends. I might sleep
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: for about two or three weeks, and then when I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: wake up, it'll be time for college basketball. So I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: figure if I time this nap out, I'll wake up
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in time for a Seton Hall basketball game in mid January.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a plan, and you appreciate your time all
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: season long. Man, great to visit with you. A happy
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: new Year and we'll talk to you soon. Happy New Year, JP,
