Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive John with Ashlyn Sullimsells, John Oshan,
0:08
Speaker 1: and Brian Sexton. Jacks Drive. Jime starts right now. We're
0:19
Speaker 1: We're really good. We're really good. We're gonna be really good. Um,
0:23
Speaker 1: this is a lot of small things that we just
0:24
Speaker 1: got to continual hold ourselves accountable. Suit. Um just executed
0:28
Speaker 1: and every little detail, I mean, everything is not gonna
0:30
Speaker 1: be perfect. Everything to play, we know that, but um,
0:32
Speaker 1: he just got home on a small thing. We love
0:35
Speaker 1: the way we competed with other way we responded. Um,
0:38
Speaker 1: and we just got played like that for a full
0:40
Speaker 1: sixty minutes and were in the NFL, maybe even more
0:43
Speaker 1: than fifty minutes. We got played like that. So um,
0:45
Speaker 1: but we we learned a lot. But we're gonna We're
0:47
Speaker 1: moving forward tight. And Evan Ingram what the biggest thing
0:51
Speaker 1: that he noticed from the offensive film this week against
0:53
Speaker 1: the Commanders, saying, this offense is going to take a
0:56
Speaker 1: big step in the right direction going into a week two.
0:58
Speaker 1: Welcome to Joguars Drive time on Thursday morning, Ashlen, Brian
1:02
Speaker 1: and John here with you getting ready for our first
1:04
Speaker 1: home game of the season this Sunday against the Colts.
1:07
Speaker 1: And what has dominated the topic this week is that
1:10
Speaker 1: streak that we keep talking about. My water bottles. I
1:13
Speaker 1: wasn'tna come out of the water Bottle's gonna comment on
1:15
Speaker 1: the soup. That's a bold step in the fashion it
1:21
Speaker 1: is my hands. I can't have things in the way
1:24
Speaker 1: because then I just yes, you know what I mean,
1:27
Speaker 1: I hear you. Yeah. Uh So the question is the shriek,
1:30
Speaker 1: which is seven now, and we talked about it a
1:32
Speaker 1: bit yesterday, and there's been some moments in there here.
1:34
Speaker 1: The Jags put a fifty one year. Yeah, they shut
1:38
Speaker 1: him out one year when Andrew Luck was still around. Um,
1:42
Speaker 1: you know, last year made no sense to anybody who
1:45
Speaker 1: follows the game and understands, you know, teams that are
1:47
Speaker 1: playing for something in the final week of the year
1:50
Speaker 1: against a team that has nothing on the line. It
1:52
Speaker 1: doesn't even have its head coach anymore. I mean, over time,
1:56
Speaker 1: it's defied logic, especially last year. Yeah, last year was
2:02
Speaker 1: an outlier, except you remember the Jaguars sort of did
2:05
Speaker 1: same thing to the Titans. Uh in marons from It's
2:12
Speaker 1: a strange thing in December when it happens. Uh. The
2:16
Speaker 1: The notable thing about last year's game of course we've
2:19
Speaker 1: talked about it all week. Um. Usually franchises don't quite
2:23
Speaker 1: acknowledge the enormity of one loss like that, and the Colts,
2:28
Speaker 1: until I guess training camp started very clearly made it
2:32
Speaker 1: a topic of we were embarrassed by this. Don't lose
2:34
Speaker 1: to the Jags. They were so they weren't like an
2:38
Speaker 1: albatross around there. Yeah. So, um, I don't think that
2:42
Speaker 1: you can. It's like Stephen Holder sat on our ears yesterday.
2:47
Speaker 1: You really can't. If you're the Colts with a straight
2:49
Speaker 1: face set up there this week in your open locker
2:52
Speaker 1: room sessions and say well, it doesn't mean anything to
2:54
Speaker 1: it was just another game. Why did it shake up
2:57
Speaker 1: your franchise? So it's gonna be a fact. I think
3:01
Speaker 1: with the reality is I think either the Jaguars win
3:03
Speaker 1: or the Colts win big. I think if the Colts
3:05
Speaker 1: come out just fired up and take control of it,
3:10
Speaker 1: then that momentum can be a thing. But I don't
3:13
Speaker 1: think that will happen. It'll be close. It's worth only
3:15
Speaker 1: one thing that people might not recall that made that
3:18
Speaker 1: win even more dramatic, which they kept blown out the
3:21
Speaker 1: week before in New England fifty to ten I mean
3:23
Speaker 1: they were wounded, limping to the end of the season,
3:27
Speaker 1: you know, again with an interim head coach and a
3:30
Speaker 1: lot of uncertainty about what was going to happen, and
3:32
Speaker 1: they came out and put together a performance that made
3:34
Speaker 1: them look like the team that had something to play for.
3:37
Speaker 1: It was looking at a wild card bird, so it
3:39
Speaker 1: didn't make a lot of sense. Um, And I'm excited
3:42
Speaker 1: to see Sunday to see how it all comes together. Yeah.
3:45
Speaker 1: I was on a Coults podcast yesterday and they said,
3:47
Speaker 1: they asked me, was that Trevor lawrences most complete game
3:50
Speaker 1: that you have seen? Because they were said they are
3:52
Speaker 1: still talking about Trevor lawrence performance against them last season,
3:55
Speaker 1: So even the media is still talking about last year's
3:58
Speaker 1: game like it happened two weeks ago. I don't think
4:00
Speaker 1: it's close. I think it was far. Thank you still
4:04
Speaker 1: got to come close to matching that each week for
4:07
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. All right, let's get into
4:09
Speaker 1: big things. Big thing one is the gloves are off.
4:12
Speaker 1: On Monday and Wednesday, Doug Peterson challenged his team to
4:15
Speaker 1: make plays and in particular, asked the quarterback to take
4:18
Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. This week. No, I
4:22
Speaker 1: think I think he trusts, he trusted things around him.
4:25
Speaker 1: I think you know, listen, it's we've talked about this before.
4:30
Speaker 1: Everything semi new, you know, and and he's still learning,
4:36
Speaker 1: and this is the first time in a while that
4:40
Speaker 1: you know, and each week kind of becomes a new
4:44
Speaker 1: week in the sense of he's working with these guys
4:48
Speaker 1: day in and day out. Right now we're down to
4:50
Speaker 1: the fifty three, we're down to the forty eight, down
4:52
Speaker 1: to the eleven on offense or so and two on offense,
4:56
Speaker 1: and these are now the guys that we're working with,
4:58
Speaker 1: right so we just got to make sure that we're
5:01
Speaker 1: all on the same page. Keep working with uh, you know,
5:03
Speaker 1: the skill guys, the backs, tight ends and and continue
5:08
Speaker 1: to push through. But but you know, he trusts us
5:11
Speaker 1: as coaches that we're gonna put him in in great
5:14
Speaker 1: positions and then he ultimately, you know, bottom line has
5:17
Speaker 1: to go before the big thing too is throw to score,
5:21
Speaker 1: run to when we haven't known Coach Peterson too long,
5:24
Speaker 1: but we do know he isn't shy about his philosophy
5:26
Speaker 1: and he isn't gonna lie saying he wants this perfect
5:28
Speaker 1: balance of run pass like we hear a lot of
5:30
Speaker 1: coaches talk about he has a philosophy and he is
5:33
Speaker 1: sticking to it. James and Travis in the game. Uh,
5:38
Speaker 1: and he regrets at all about not getting them more touches.
5:42
Speaker 1: I mean not really, not really when you look at
5:44
Speaker 1: the game and how it kind of unfolded. Um, we
5:47
Speaker 1: had opportunities to get hit those guys even in the
5:49
Speaker 1: passing year, you know, to make plays first first opening
5:52
Speaker 1: draft of the game. We just missed Travis and the
5:53
Speaker 1: end zone, miss amount of fourth down. You know, those
5:56
Speaker 1: are all things that you know, those are those are touches, right,
5:58
Speaker 1: those are those are oppertun And it used too to
6:01
Speaker 1: put the ball in their hands. And um, you know,
6:03
Speaker 1: I'm a believer to that. You you throw to score
6:06
Speaker 1: in this league and you run to win, and and um,
6:09
Speaker 1: you know we we did something put ourselves in position
6:11
Speaker 1: to just score at least seventeen in the first half.
6:14
Speaker 1: And big thing three is Jaguars versus Colds. Lots of
6:18
Speaker 1: familiarity between these two teams. Frank Right was the offensive
6:21
Speaker 1: coordinator for coach Peterson in Philadelphia and the streak that
6:24
Speaker 1: we keep talking about seven years of straight wins here
6:27
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars when they play the Colts in Jacksonville.
6:30
Speaker 1: Right now, it's about this team, and frankly, they don't
6:33
Speaker 1: care about the past. This is a different team and
6:36
Speaker 1: they're a different team, different defensive coordinator, all those things.
6:39
Speaker 1: We got a new head coach, oftens coordinator, defense coordinator, everything,
6:42
Speaker 1: So you really have to just start over every week
6:45
Speaker 1: no matter who you're playing, especially divisional game with a
6:47
Speaker 1: bunch of coaching changes and personnel changes. So we're not
6:50
Speaker 1: really focusing on that at all. You know that was
6:53
Speaker 1: last year. Um, I'm sure that's something that's a little
6:56
Speaker 1: fuel for them, but for us, we're just eyes forward
6:58
Speaker 1: and how can we put the best plan together to
7:01
Speaker 1: go beat him this game and not really focusing in
7:03
Speaker 1: the past or too far in the future. And now
7:06
Speaker 1: you have it. Those are big things, of course, your coach,
7:09
Speaker 1: your quarterback. That's that's what they're gonna say, is, yes,
7:11
Speaker 1: this is this team. But I will say we were
7:12
Speaker 1: in the locker room yesterday and I asked a couple
7:14
Speaker 1: of players about this streak. Every single player knew the
7:18
Speaker 1: year the last time the Colts beat the Jaguars. You
7:21
Speaker 1: and jackson They all knew the year. I was a
7:24
Speaker 1: little impressed by that. Imagine. It's been brought up a
7:26
Speaker 1: couple of times. I would say, so I want to
7:28
Speaker 1: talk about big thing too, um because it's refreshing to
7:33
Speaker 1: have that head coach stay. I didn't want to run
7:36
Speaker 1: the ball more. I mean, all the years we've been here,
7:38
Speaker 1: whether it was Tom Coughlin or Jack del Rio or
7:40
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley, talk about balance and running more, and he's
7:43
Speaker 1: didn't care, right. I mean, he told you his philosophy
7:46
Speaker 1: straight out, throw to score and then run dessault the
7:50
Speaker 1: win away. He's not gonna change. He's not gonna be
7:52
Speaker 1: mouse Davis, right. You know who MOUs Davis was being
7:55
Speaker 1: better the run and shoot. Uh, he's not going to
7:57
Speaker 1: do that right where all you do is throw. But
8:00
Speaker 1: he's not worried about you know, did I get runs
8:04
Speaker 1: against thirty passes? Well, I think he would be if
8:09
Speaker 1: the offense hadn't worked. I mean, you know, there's been
8:13
Speaker 1: this strange phenomenon this week. I get they lost, but
8:16
Speaker 1: I had I've had questions in the ozone mail bag
8:19
Speaker 1: about well they would have won if they'd run the ball.
8:22
Speaker 1: They got away from the run, they had three eight
8:25
Speaker 1: yards offense, they scored twenty two points. I think it
8:32
Speaker 1: Doug is the play caller. I think is a new
8:33
Speaker 1: phenomenon around here. Where did I'm not sure we've had
8:36
Speaker 1: the coach. Maybe Coughlin called plays one year, but overall
8:40
Speaker 1: it's always been coordinator coach. So now when the head
8:41
Speaker 1: coach stands up and says, I didn't have any feel
8:45
Speaker 1: that the offense wasn't working. They were in the red
8:48
Speaker 1: zone five times, had they scored a couple of touchdowns there?
8:52
Speaker 1: And nobody's talking about this. So I don't think Doug stubborn.
8:56
Speaker 1: If Doug had come out of that game and they
8:59
Speaker 1: had never gotten pasted their own forty and it was
9:01
Speaker 1: clear they hadn't run enough and it wasn't working, that
9:03
Speaker 1: I think he would say, hey, we need to do
9:05
Speaker 1: something different. Nothing went wrong except they didn't convert a
9:08
Speaker 1: couple of throws that were right there. Even the right
9:12
Speaker 1: play was called bro I mean, so I think they've
9:15
Speaker 1: lost people have lost sight because they lost that. Nothing
9:20
Speaker 1: they were calling didn't work. So I don't think he's
9:22
Speaker 1: being stubborn. I just think he looks at an offensive function.
9:26
Speaker 1: This is a throw, This is a throw to run team. There,
9:29
Speaker 1: they're not going to use the run to set up
9:31
Speaker 1: the past, like a lot of teams do. They're gonna
9:33
Speaker 1: throw first and run second. Yes, And if John's point,
9:37
Speaker 1: if Trevor makes that throw to Travisy, tend Up seemed
9:39
Speaker 1: wide open or even that throatd Z Jones, the running
9:43
Speaker 1: game isn't even mentioned this week because he converted those
9:45
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and it's a different story. And yes, the
9:48
Speaker 1: play was right there. The throw just had to be
9:50
Speaker 1: made and it's a totally different ball game. I think
9:52
Speaker 1: Doug also believed had you run ten times more, the
9:56
Speaker 1: effectiveness of it in this offense would have gone down.
10:00
Speaker 1: You believe they ran as much as he felt they needed.
10:01
Speaker 1: As soon as he was asked this on Sunday, he
10:04
Speaker 1: immediately asked what was the arts per carry apt because
10:06
Speaker 1: that's what he's looking at to see how effective they are. Yeah,
10:10
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're spending a lot of time
10:12
Speaker 1: this week trying to figure out ways to do three
10:14
Speaker 1: yards in Classic. It's not them. They're not interested in balance,
10:16
Speaker 1: they're interested in effectiveness. Yes, and I will say we
10:18
Speaker 1: all have to have our stats and yards ready because
10:20
Speaker 1: he was asking some questions and I was scrambling to
10:22
Speaker 1: find the arts per carry. You had a John though
10:25
Speaker 1: you're always ready, I don't think I have. And that
10:28
Speaker 1: is big things. When we can come back on Jaguars
10:30
Speaker 1: Drive Time, we go around the locker room t I
10:37
Speaker 1: a a bank term potential into progress. We are back
10:44
Speaker 1: to Jaguars Drive Time Thursday morning, getting ready for the
10:46
Speaker 1: first home game of the season here this Sunday. We
10:49
Speaker 1: were in the locker room yesterday and asked a couple
10:51
Speaker 1: of players with the biggest challenge they thought the Colts
10:53
Speaker 1: would bring to Jacksonvills. So let's take a listen at
10:55
Speaker 1: what they said. They have talent all over the play um,
11:00
Speaker 1: and they had town all over the place. Up front.
11:03
Speaker 1: They're strong, they're fast. The linebackers are athletic quick, and
11:07
Speaker 1: they move really good ladderly and we'll come up and
11:09
Speaker 1: hit you in the mouth um and their secondary ballha um.
11:12
Speaker 1: And they do a really good job playing together and
11:16
Speaker 1: they fly around. So if we gotta protect the football,
11:19
Speaker 1: like I said, we guys having all the good little
11:21
Speaker 1: things down, um, we've gotta play our brands football. The
11:25
Speaker 1: biggest challenge stopping a round. Obviously, they've got a good
11:28
Speaker 1: a runner. Um. We brought ourselves on stopping around. I'm
11:31
Speaker 1: gonna make sure coming to our game be phistical up front.
11:34
Speaker 1: Um creates Harnover's and uh get up to two. Roy
11:38
Speaker 1: robertson Harris very complimentary of Jonathan Taylor, the Colts running back,
11:42
Speaker 1: and how he runs with that aggressive play style. We
11:44
Speaker 1: also asked linebacker foy Louis como it will be like
11:47
Speaker 1: going against his former quarterback. Matt Ryan says, it's kind
11:50
Speaker 1: of a full circle moment for him. You know, he
11:52
Speaker 1: was older than me and we've seen a lot of
11:54
Speaker 1: people through the through the years. So when I first
11:56
Speaker 1: got there, I was kind of attended rookie UM didn't
11:58
Speaker 1: really nobody in the league, And you know, towards the
12:00
Speaker 1: end of my time there, you know, he came up
12:02
Speaker 1: to me and said he's like the way I progress,
12:04
Speaker 1: and that just meant the most to me. So definitely
12:05
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for him and just him saying
12:07
Speaker 1: those words meant a lot to me. But you know,
12:09
Speaker 1: trying to compete against now and then you have that
12:12
Speaker 1: is around the locker room. Matt Ryan is a guy. Truthfully,
12:15
Speaker 1: in our three shows this week, we we haven't talked
12:17
Speaker 1: a lot about him, and I think that's because the
12:19
Speaker 1: conversation is always dominant towards Jonathan Thake Taylor, and we
12:22
Speaker 1: talked about the Colts. Maybe it's because we don't really
12:25
Speaker 1: know a lot about him with this Colts team, and
12:27
Speaker 1: we don't know how this is gonna go. Brian well Um,
12:30
Speaker 1: I watched him here last November and was my initial
12:33
Speaker 1: thought is what he's done. He didn't seem to be
12:36
Speaker 1: the same Matt Ryan. Didn't seem comfortable. It didn't seem
12:38
Speaker 1: like he had the zip on the ball. In talking
12:40
Speaker 1: to people in Atlanta when we were there a few
12:42
Speaker 1: weeks ago, they said how frustrated he was last year
12:46
Speaker 1: in Arthur Smith's offense, and and for a guy who's
12:49
Speaker 1: thirty six years old at the time, he had a
12:50
Speaker 1: hard time getting past the frustration of what they were
12:53
Speaker 1: doing and how they were getting it done. So here's
12:57
Speaker 1: the thing that makes Matt Ryan a real weapon, Jonathan Taylor.
13:01
Speaker 1: Without Jonathan Taylor, I wouldn't worry about Matt Ryan. But
13:04
Speaker 1: the threat of Jonathan Taylor is going to allow the
13:06
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old Ryan the ability to hold off
13:09
Speaker 1: the past rush and to be able to drop back
13:11
Speaker 1: and find receivers open. Because twenty eight is so darn good.
13:16
Speaker 1: Ryan without him is not Ryan Ryan with him as
13:19
Speaker 1: a chance to be the guy we watched what four
13:20
Speaker 1: or five years ago with a team that won the
13:22
Speaker 1: NF six. It's easy, I think in analyzing the Colts,
13:27
Speaker 1: because they've gone, uh, Andrew Luck and then who the
13:32
Speaker 1: quarterback was the next year? You know so? And then
13:36
Speaker 1: they went Philip Rivers, Phlip Rivers, and then they went, uh,
13:40
Speaker 1: went so and none of it has worked how they
13:45
Speaker 1: wanted it to. They've been good, but clearly er say
13:48
Speaker 1: believe this is a super Bowl roster and needs to
13:50
Speaker 1: add a quarterback, sort of like the you know the
13:53
Speaker 1: water to the mix. Just add water and I have
13:55
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. Well. I think it's easy, because that
14:00
Speaker 1: hasn't worked yet to assume that this is just another
14:03
Speaker 1: in that line. In talking to people around the Colts,
14:07
Speaker 1: people would cover them. They kind of think this guy
14:09
Speaker 1: might be the best fit that they've had yet. Good
14:12
Speaker 1: roster with Jonathan Taylor. I still think this is the
14:16
Speaker 1: best team in the division. It will be uh interesting
14:19
Speaker 1: to see if Matt Ryan can break that streak. I
14:23
Speaker 1: don't think they believe he's just the latest guy to
14:26
Speaker 1: be just okay, And I don't know either. I mean,
14:28
Speaker 1: I think I think what he brings with Jonathan Taylor
14:32
Speaker 1: and Michael Pittman, you know, he's he's got a big receiver.
14:35
Speaker 1: He's used to big receivers. Dog Peterson said yesterday. He
14:37
Speaker 1: sees them down the field, they're easier to see. I
14:40
Speaker 1: think Matt Ryan's heading shoulders above Carson Wentz and with
14:44
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor behind him, they have a real shot. They're
14:47
Speaker 1: a really good team. It seems like he just needed
14:49
Speaker 1: that fresh start. It's a very good roster on both
14:53
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. There's talent all over the place. Um.
14:56
Speaker 1: They probably should have gone to the playoffs last year,
15:01
Speaker 1: but the old Jaggie stopped him. Well, don't forget until
15:03
Speaker 1: the Jags. Wentz was awful in the last six seven
15:06
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. The Titans were the best team
15:08
Speaker 1: in the division record wise, but the Colts were one
15:11
Speaker 1: of the big stories of the a f C and
15:12
Speaker 1: people thought they were if they got in, they were
15:15
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance. Remember they still they stumbled against
15:18
Speaker 1: the Raiders at home, so that was a sign. Um
15:21
Speaker 1: and I just in talking to people in Atlanta. I
15:23
Speaker 1: haven't talked him Indy this week. But in talking to
15:25
Speaker 1: people Atlanta, they thought he would be the difference mentally,
15:28
Speaker 1: just because of who he is, the way that he
15:30
Speaker 1: carries himself. Right, So you're gonna have to go stop
15:33
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Quick note. Jonathan Taylor in the Colts win
15:37
Speaker 1: the last November in Indy had a hundred and seven
15:40
Speaker 1: yards in the first half, right, and he averaged almost
15:43
Speaker 1: six yards per carry in the first half. Here he
15:46
Speaker 1: had eighteen yards and two point three per carry. That's
15:49
Speaker 1: not as good Sea. So the point is, if you
15:53
Speaker 1: want to beat the Colts on Sunday, you must keep
15:56
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor from getting started. Yes, I remember standing on
15:59
Speaker 1: that Colts feel and hearing his name again and again
16:01
Speaker 1: and again. I'm oh my gosh. It was different here.
16:03
Speaker 1: He had one yard on his first carry, then he
16:05
Speaker 1: had two yards on his second carry. The Jaguars did
16:07
Speaker 1: a great job against him, and the Colts never found
16:10
Speaker 1: a rhythm. Yes, on the interior of the defense is
16:12
Speaker 1: key there. No matter how great you are as a
16:14
Speaker 1: running back, if you can't get your feet going and
16:17
Speaker 1: it's it's glomed up in the interior, you can't get going.
16:20
Speaker 1: So big game for Hamilton and Roy Robinson hares, Yes
16:22
Speaker 1: it is, and that is around the locker room when
16:24
Speaker 1: we come back on Jaguars Drive time some he will,
16:26
Speaker 1: he won't, he might. Soneth is Jacksonville's trust and reliable
16:37
Speaker 1: moving company. Sonath It's brought to be the official moving
16:39
Speaker 1: company of the Jacksonville Jaguars. To get a stress free quote,
16:42
Speaker 1: call nine oh four six three eight seven five three six.
16:50
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, which means it's time for he will,
16:53
Speaker 1: he won't, he might go in him Sunday's game against
16:55
Speaker 1: the Colt's first home game of the season for the
16:57
Speaker 1: Jaguars ran what do we concerning go with Tyson Camp
17:00
Speaker 1: and he will be the most tired player in the
17:02
Speaker 1: locker room after the game, because I think he's got
17:05
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge in in one on one matchups with
17:08
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. He six four and two five pounds um
17:11
Speaker 1: and as a guy who can wear you out. Last
17:14
Speaker 1: week he was targeted thirteen times, had nine catches for
17:18
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. But it's that third team number,
17:20
Speaker 1: meaning the quarterback is gonna be looking for him at
17:23
Speaker 1: all times, which means Campell's gonna have to be alert
17:25
Speaker 1: mentally and ready physically so he'll be a very tired guy. Um,
17:30
Speaker 1: he won't get beat much. I think he's up for
17:32
Speaker 1: the challenge. I think I watched him in Atlanta. Uh,
17:35
Speaker 1: and whenever he was on Kyle Pitts, Uh, Kyle Pitts
17:39
Speaker 1: struggled Ryan. I mean he had a fight for the ball.
17:42
Speaker 1: So he won't be a pushover. Um. And he might
17:44
Speaker 1: lead the a f C and interceptions after the time
17:47
Speaker 1: this one is over. Um, I think he might find
17:49
Speaker 1: himself in a position to grab the ball or two. Um.
17:52
Speaker 1: We thought he was opportunistic on the training camp field.
17:55
Speaker 1: He showed it in Washington last week. He might be
17:57
Speaker 1: a guy who grabs a pick or two on Sunday. Yeah.
18:01
Speaker 1: How many targets wasn't from Michael Pittman last week? Yeah,
18:04
Speaker 1: so you would have to think Tyson gets one of those. Yeah.
18:08
Speaker 1: I went with z Jones, the wide receiver. Uh, he
18:13
Speaker 1: will I think get a lot of targets. And the
18:15
Speaker 1: reason for this is Christian kirk got I think twelve
18:19
Speaker 1: targets last week. Uh. At some point, and I think
18:23
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen quick. Teams are gonna realize Christian kirk
18:26
Speaker 1: Is is the guy that Turvior Lawrence wants to go
18:28
Speaker 1: to so they will defend Christian Kirk says A Jones
18:32
Speaker 1: will get a lot of opportunities this week. He won't.
18:35
Speaker 1: And I had troubled that he won't because I'm not
18:38
Speaker 1: sure there's anything you won't, but um, he won't be
18:41
Speaker 1: a guy I don't think yet that the Colts worry
18:44
Speaker 1: about because there hasn't been a reason to worry about
18:47
Speaker 1: him on on film yet. So I think that means
18:50
Speaker 1: he'll get opportunities, which he might be this week. Christian
18:54
Speaker 1: Kirk in this offense, and Christian had what six D
18:57
Speaker 1: seventeen last week. Um, if you remember in preseason and
19:02
Speaker 1: no fans hate in preseason they were this but he
19:06
Speaker 1: looked really good in preseason and there was some timing
19:08
Speaker 1: there and he had the ability to get open deep.
19:11
Speaker 1: He was open some last week for a bigger game.
19:13
Speaker 1: He might have that bigger game that he could have
19:16
Speaker 1: had last week. Slynn O'Brien, I see by your hands
19:19
Speaker 1: you want to say, well, to take it to another level.
19:20
Speaker 1: What you're saying is Trevor Lawrence sat down at one
19:23
Speaker 1: of our preseason production meetings and said, I can't wait
19:26
Speaker 1: to get to get to this game, because I'm excited
19:28
Speaker 1: about all the things we're gonna have for Z Jones.
19:31
Speaker 1: So they've obviously got a playbook, you know, a section
19:34
Speaker 1: of the playbook designed for j Jones. Uh, that's how
19:38
Speaker 1: much they think of him. And I talked to him
19:39
Speaker 1: in the locker room for a pregame radio interview and
19:41
Speaker 1: he I love the guy. He's so much fun. He's
19:43
Speaker 1: different in a Frenchiefuka kind of way. He's a little
19:46
Speaker 1: bit different. But yeah, do you know do you know
19:50
Speaker 1: his uncle's Jeff Blake and the former Bengals quarterback who
19:54
Speaker 1: the Duvers has some epic battles against that guy. Um So, anyway,
19:57
Speaker 1: I really like him, and I think he's got I
20:00
Speaker 1: think they've got to focus on him. And if you're right,
20:03
Speaker 1: and I think that you are, that Christian Kirk is
20:04
Speaker 1: going to draw the coverage. J Jones has the ability
20:06
Speaker 1: to beat you. He was frenchie few Qui played for
20:09
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the seventies and can catch you up.
20:11
Speaker 1: And Jeff Blake played for the Bengals in the nine
20:13
Speaker 1: and he write all that down now, high heels with
20:16
Speaker 1: goldfish in them, as he would get onto the plane
20:19
Speaker 1: and to have a cape and one of those cigarette holders.
20:21
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the guy was just all personality,
20:24
Speaker 1: Goldfish high heels. Can you rent those? Probably not. I
20:28
Speaker 1: don't think those exists anymore. Peter might call that's probably
20:31
Speaker 1: animal he was. I'm using that to say that it
20:34
Speaker 1: was an enigmatic personality and I think and I think
20:36
Speaker 1: seems like and after talking to Today in the locker
20:39
Speaker 1: room yesterday, it's clear he used to Wow, that is
20:41
Speaker 1: something I love the personality. We need it too, all right, Mike,
20:46
Speaker 1: he will, he won't. He might is Josh Allen? He
20:48
Speaker 1: will make this his game. Last week was Trayvon Walker's game.
20:52
Speaker 1: We've talked about him all week, the epic return of
20:55
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I guess you could say to Jacksonville and
20:58
Speaker 1: this home game, I think Josh Allen is going to
20:59
Speaker 1: be a guy we talked about Monday morning, and not
21:01
Speaker 1: because Trevor Trayvon Walker takes a step back. I just
21:04
Speaker 1: think now with Trayvon Walker having that great first game,
21:07
Speaker 1: I think now the attention will shift greatly towards him,
21:09
Speaker 1: and that's going to free up Josh Allen to make
21:11
Speaker 1: an impact in this first home game. He won't be offended.
21:15
Speaker 1: Last week on Jaguars All Access. We were talking about
21:17
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker and how he could have played college basketball,
21:19
Speaker 1: maybe even the NBA, and what a freak athlete he is,
21:22
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen admitted, Yeah, Trayvon Walker is a better
21:25
Speaker 1: athlete than me. You see, just he's a much bigger frame,
21:28
Speaker 1: He's got longer arms. He is physically gifted in ways
21:31
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen isn't, which is crazy because Josh Allen
21:34
Speaker 1: is a freak athlete in himself, but he won't be
21:36
Speaker 1: offended by that. I think Trayvon Walker, if he has
21:39
Speaker 1: the career like Josh Allen, as it's all about the
21:41
Speaker 1: work ethic that Josh Allen has had with his career,
21:45
Speaker 1: he might might make an earlier impact in this game.
21:47
Speaker 1: I go back to that sack last week on the
21:50
Speaker 1: reverse that was a swing of momentum for the Jaguars.
21:52
Speaker 1: I think for the Jaguars to win this game against
21:55
Speaker 1: the Colts, they have to have an earlier impact on defense,
21:58
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen just might be that guy. I talked
22:01
Speaker 1: to Bill Showey, who's the outside linebackers for CHAIRS today,
22:03
Speaker 1: and I asked him how long until Trayvon Walker's impact
22:07
Speaker 1: is on Josh Allen in other words, until they start sliding,
22:10
Speaker 1: kind of like with Christian Kirk, they start looking and
22:12
Speaker 1: he goes up. You might see it on Sunday. Josh
22:14
Speaker 1: Allen freed up on Sunday. And when you have a
22:17
Speaker 1: player like Josh Allen who is one on one, he
22:21
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to make plays interesting that quick huh.
22:24
Speaker 1: One week, Well, if you watch Trayvon Walker for very long,
22:26
Speaker 1: you realize one guy is going to have a hard
22:28
Speaker 1: time containing all right, and that is he will he
22:31
Speaker 1: won't see might when we come back Monday's Headlines today,
22:41
Speaker 1: we are predicting Monday's headlines today. Coming off a game
22:44
Speaker 1: against the Colts on Sunday, first home game for the
22:47
Speaker 1: Jaguars this season. Brian, what are we gonna talk about? London?
22:50
Speaker 1: Number eight is number one, meaning win number eight over
22:53
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts at home executively is win number one
22:58
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. They keep it going at home and
23:01
Speaker 1: they finally get going on all sides of the bomb,
23:05
Speaker 1: play a really solid game. I don't want to say spectacular,
23:09
Speaker 1: but solid, because that's what it's gonna take. You're gonna
23:11
Speaker 1: be good in every area to beat the cold stay.
23:14
Speaker 1: What do you think You're not gonna like it? It's uh,
23:18
Speaker 1: you always win this segment, Street stopped. But I think this,
23:24
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. I just see the Colts as
23:27
Speaker 1: a strong team. Uh that if they lose their oh
23:31
Speaker 1: one and one with two division non wins, I think
23:35
Speaker 1: the best team in the division. I don't think they
23:37
Speaker 1: lose this week. Uh So street stopped and everybody throw
23:42
Speaker 1: garbage and food at Yes, I have eight is great
23:46
Speaker 1: because the streak will continue the emphasis they have placed
23:49
Speaker 1: on fixing the little things this week. I don't think
23:51
Speaker 1: that's gonna go unnoticed. They will play a sound football game,
23:54
Speaker 1: like Brian says, and we will throw tomatoes at you Monday.
23:58
Speaker 1: It's worth noting that the drag wars your rocks and garbage.
24:01
Speaker 1: Who's a trip to lost Los Angeles the next week?
24:04
Speaker 1: I mean, which is a really whole order to go
24:08
Speaker 1: to the West coast where the Jaguars have only ever
24:10
Speaker 1: won in Oakland, right, and to beat those charges. So
24:13
Speaker 1: this is pretty important game for a young football team
24:15
Speaker 1: for both teams. Yeah, and Philadelphia is not far around
24:17
Speaker 1: the corner. I mean, you've you've got some challenging games
24:20
Speaker 1: at home win is critical for this football team. It's
24:23
Speaker 1: as critical for the Jaguars to go one and one
24:26
Speaker 1: as it is for the Colts to avoid going oh
24:27
Speaker 1: one and one. So that's going to be an interesting
24:32
Speaker 1: dynamic to watch. It is a good game on Sunday.
24:34
Speaker 1: We are predicting in big Monday headlines. Today, I will
24:37
Speaker 1: say John Hope, I'm wrong, and that is Jaguars Drivetime
24:42
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. Like we said, we'll have a show
24:44
Speaker 1: here Monday morning predicting those sidelines. Stay with us all
24:47
Speaker 1: weekend long on Jaguars dot com.
