Jaguars Establish Identity With Gutty Performance in Week 5 | Jags A.M. | Jacksonville Jaguars

[Music] Welcome into another victory edition of Jagam. I’m Kani Stevens. Brian Sex and John Oer with me. We’re a little bit later in the week because it was Monday Night Football here in Jacksonville this week. The only prime time matchup of the year and boy was it a good one. We were hoping for a great outing and we got a great game and a great win for the Jags as they improve on the season and they’ve only got one loss. Pretty looking pretty good so far through five weeks. Let’s start out with our big things. It’s actually three big people. So, we’re going to start out with Trevor Lawrence who had a performance to remember on Monday Night Football. None more memorable than that final play uh on offense for him to get the game-winning touchdown. Yeah, you know, we had a good a good goal line play that we liked off a little play action and um but never got to see it because I was going down as I came out of the center. So, I mean just panic honestly because I was trying to get up to get the ball out of my hand so the clock I mean we didn’t have any timeouts so just try I was really going to just stand up and like launch it out the back of the end zone. Uh but then I had a little bit of a lane so I took it and you know scored from there. Brian, the perfect example of no, no, yes, as Trevor falls down twice before he finds his way into the end zone. And I’ll say it myself, I had some stuff written up earlier on because I was so disappointed with some of the plays early on from Trevor, but in the second half, just showing the resolve, resiliency, we talk about it a ton, but he won that game for them late. Listen, uh, he took us on a roller coaster ride, right? Penalties and turnovers, you know, mixed in with big throws, especially on that last drive. And at times you’re wondering, is he going to do this or is he going to miss this? And it’s my hot take, so I’m not going to go too far down the road other than to say that it was a thrill ride because it ended with him in the end zone in a really big moment. Happy birthday, Trevor. Yeah. Yeah. But I thought in the second half you could see him, I don’t know if it’s a funk or whatever or just starting to embrace it. Uh first of all, the interception not his fault at all. Uh it it was interference, but in the second half they have been wanting him to go for the moment uh to go for the play when it’s there and for the biggest play of the game to be a ball that he threw to Brian Thomas Jr. where he just let it rip. Uh hopefully he channels let it rip moving forward because I thought that was the key as much as Stumble Ruski was the memory. I like do fall as well. I’ve seen some good seen some good options on Twitter. We’ll we’ll we’ll see what everybody likes and we’ll come up with one name after this week. Um our second big thing, second big person, Devin Lloyd, who is your AFC defensive player of the month for September and now continuing into October, a 99yard pick six. Talked a little bit about how this team is different and what you saw on that play. First off, I’m just super proud of this team for finding a way to win. And I know we’ve been in situations like this and we weren’t always able to capitalize in the past, but um this is a completely different team and I’m just proud of everybody, you know, for for believing and executing um when we needed it. And um as far as a pick, it was just a great call. Um it was a zero look um and I was able to pop out and u we know the ball’s coming out quick, so it’s really about me get my eyes back and uh get in the right vicinity. Um so the ball was right there thankfully and uh picked up a couple blocks. Um those were big. I don’t know if I would have made it if I didn’t get those. So, um, you know, grateful for for everybody who helped me get into the end zone. John, we talked a lot last week about needing a play from the defense. We’ve seen takeaways, but the Chiefs don’t always throw a lot of interceptions or turn the ball over at all, but not only to get the interception there, but taking it back 99 yards. I have not heard this stadium that loud in probably the time since I’ve been here, maybe before that for sure, but that was just the marquee moment for me in that game. Yeah. And it was the longest regular season interception return for a touchdown by a linebacker ever. So that’s a long time break record like that. I actually started laughing during the middle of the play when Devin was returning it because it was like who else was going to do this? What an incredible storyline. It’s almost been comical how much he’s around the ball. and Brian in those old science fiction stuff when like you you when we were kids many years ago there’d be that little tube and they would sort of teleport and all of a sudden they’d appear. Yeah. It’s like Devin Lloyd first round pick has sort of teleported and now he’s here and it’s everything you expected everything physically that he could be. Uh there’s not enough to say about him. What credit to the kid to be playing like this and it’s not a fluke. Listen, it’s who he was at Utah and that’s why we were all so frustrated. He was a guy who had sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles, fumbles recovered, touchdowns, and we’d seen moments early in his career of him being around the ball, but nothing consistent at all. He’s Fred Warner right now. I mean, there are very few linebackers who are 63, 240. Those guys have become edge rushers in today’s game, and he’s in the middle of the defense making plays. He’s as good a linebacker as there is in the AFC right now. And I don’t know how you don’t have him already plotted into your future. I get the salary cap and understand the dynamics of things that change, but this is a verifiable star at this point. And those guys, you build around them. I think they’ve renamed the player of the week award. Just the Devon. The Deon Lloyd Award. The Deon Lloyd or just the Devon. I think the Deon Hipper little mystique. I like that. The Devon. Um, our final big thing is Liam Cohen. He’s come in here. Steam is four in one. He’s shifted the culture already. Brian, we talk a lot about, you know, what that means cuz people come in and talk about culture shift, but to actually put those words into action and what we’ve seen so far, cuz we talked against the 49ers and and even on Monday Night Football, those are games the Jaguars don’t win. Maybe they play well, but they don’t find a way. And this team has enough confidence in themselves if they make a mistake to find a way to win. He set the standard. He came in and talked about what he wanted his football team to look like. And we’ve been through it a number of times. fundamentally sound attacking, situational masters, and toughness. And you know, as you watch him go through the course of a game and into the postgame locker room video that was posted last night, he exemplifies all of that. And his team follows him. He’s very clearly a gifted, natural leader and the kind of guy that brought Well, John, you just look at a team that lost nine games out of 10 opportunities just like this last year and they flipped it in five weeks. The coach had a formula, set a standard, his team is following it, and it’s awesome to watch. Yeah, the flipping it part is is part of my hot takes, so I won’t go into that, but uh Brian, you can correct me if I’m wrong, and I’m sure you will. Uh Jack Del Rio, I think, was the only other coach without any head coaching experience when he got this job, right? Uh Liam was had never been a head coach. uh 39 years old. What I wondered was I I knew reputation-wise he could call an offense and he was, you know, one of the latest offensive geniuses. You didn’t know if he would be the head coach, which is everything leadership, connecting with players. Um he’s off the charts. I mean, it’s it’s uh to change this and to have players believing in you and and to be handling uh you know, leading the leading the ship is remarkable after five games and he’s changed his franchise. It’s it it’s very very impressive. The buyin has been spectacular and we got a huge win on Monday Night Football. Stay with us. We’ll go back over the highlights from that Big W.

Yeah, it’s a goofy finish, but what a what a tough moment for him to be able to say like he just he wasn’t going to lose. And that’s kind of really what it comes down to. He wasn’t going to lose and um he made a unbelievable individual effort that uh hopefully can continue to springboard us. A goofy finish. Um we haven’t quite picked the name for it yet, but to get back up and find your way into the end zone, that’s something memorable on prime time on Monday Night Football. Um, we got the drama we asked for. Listen, um, somebody asked me for my top 10 Jaguars regular season games. That’s probably in the top three. Yeah, probably. So, absolutely. Let’s look at some of the um some of the tape. We’re going to start with highlights. We’re going to do highlights. The first one’s not a highlight necessarily. It’s this QB sneak early in the game, which felt a little to me like, is this going to be a turning point where we look back and say, “What if?” Right? Because we’ve all seen Trevor do the reach over the top as he tries to jump. It’s not my favorite line. I I was I was assuming we weren’t doing that anymore. Listen, you thought right back immediately. Everyone went to Tennessee. End of 2023. A chance to tie and stay in the playoff race there. What are you doing? This is what I talked about, John, when I meant roller coaster ride. There were moments like this with plays that we have become accustomed to seeing from the quarterback. Well, um, you know, I thought he scored, but, uh, because he didn’t, it’s a bad play. Uh, Liam sort of intimated afterward that, uh, it it was more of a tush push and he and and he should have stayed down. Um, I guess I would tell you that probably the same instinct that told him not to throw the ball out of bounds on the last play was the same instinct that told him to go after this on this play. Um, he could have thrown the ball out of bounds on the last play and you don’t know what happened. So, I guess it’s hard to take the spirit out of the wild horse, but um you got to live with some things like that to the other things. So, uh but I my guess is we’ll see less reaching from here on out. Uh let’s go to Mahomes’s rushing touchdown. Um the first one had that little bit of a pick play on the broadcast. They said may or may not, you know, was it one yard line? Was it one yard from scrimmage, what have you. This is Mahomes rushing. This is where I felt Trayvon was missed a little bit. Um, OG was in for him here and and Mahomes out doing Mahomes things and we talk about that discipline you need to see on the pass rush because this is what he can do. He gets outside either rushes or he finds someone open after scrambling a bit. So, this was this was a little tough early. Felt like the defense took a little bit to get settled um against this Chief’s offense. Yeah, I I guess I’m very hesitant to criticize anything defensively when you’re playing Mahomes. Mhm. I think you can play great defense and this guy can do these things. On this sort of thread, I thought the defense had two or three series uh second quarter, early third where a lot of times the Chiefs once they get going will roll through that and end the game. The Jaguars defense once Trevor got the second touchdown, the Jaguars defense had a little period there where they said no and got them back in the game where it could be sort of an an even footing. So against the Chiefs, Brian, you watch them a lot. Yep. That’s what you have to do. And I thought they did that in big moments. Well, people forget Deon Lloyd scores a touchdown, right? You go up 214 and the Jaguars got the Chiefs off the field, got the ball back. Yeah. And then it was that next series that there was the pass interference that became the interception. So yeah, the Jaguars defense did their thing. Let’s take a look at that Travis Hunter catch because we talk about big players making big plays and big moments and all we’ve been hearing, where’s these Travis Hunter plays? Where’s his marquee moment? This is a marquee moment for Trevor to step up in the pocket, get throw it up there, and for Travis Hunter to go up and come down with it. It felt vindicating. We’ve seen him do it, whether it’s in practice or, you know, maybe that PI call, that bad PI call against him against the Bengals. For him to have this marking moment, it was needed, you know. Um, that’s a huge play. And they talked about how they worked on it after practice. I love the little 12-y, you know, first down where he made that dynamic move to get back to the outside. He showed you last night that he is a player who will draw people’s eyes to the television. He is that electrifying of an offensive and defensive threat. Yeah, Kai, you and I have talked and I probably said on the air, I’ve been wondering, he’s been great on defense and you can see all pro level on defense and I’ve sort of been like how is his talent going to make the impact that they want because we hadn’t seen it. And then when he caught that pass, I said, “Oh, okay, John. That’s what it is.” I mean, it is it it was a remarkable catch. If you saw how high he was off the ground, all we’ve heard about is the body control and the and the ability to make the play in the moment. That was body control and he was way up. I mean, it it was an impressive play and uh I I’m sold. Another marquee moment. Um we’re going to jump ahead. Tie game. Devin Lloyd interception. Um and and for camp to kind of call that as well, knowing what the Chiefs like to do when they’re in the red zone for for Deon to be able to stay there and follow the ball and get an interception and run it back 99 yards. I get winded looking at this. So, um it’s just I know we’ve talked about Devin a ton, but even just the defense being in the right place at the right time. Well, and Lloyd talked in his post game and and Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes did as well. Lloyd said that his key was the center looking back at him and if he saw the center turn his direction, he had to get back out into that flat area and he made that key and andy Reid said they know that that’s the way that the Jaguars play it and that they got what were called poppers popping back out. It just was a remarkable play for a linebacker, John, who everyone thought didn’t have the situational awareness, right? I mean, the last couple of years, it I remember the game early in his career in Indianapolis where they just turned him inside and out. Um, it it was remarkable to see him execute that play so flawlessly. Well, we we’ve talked a lot about Devin Lloyd and uh you know, so on the play, if you noticed, Dwan Smoot’s 70 yards downfield blocking and so is Josh Hines Allen. Uh I I love Dwan Smoot. I wasn’t sure that he could run that fast that far. Uh but that speaks to the effort and the all-in nature of this team right now. Uh which Deon mentioned on the podium as well. That that return probably ends around the 20 if those guys aren’t downfield. All right, let’s jump ahead to that final drive. Um Trevor’s throw to BTJ for me was the highlight for him. I know he scored the game-winning touchdown, but this throw is something we know he’s capable of doing, but to have it in that moment and as we’ve talked about, whether it’s inconsistency from Trevor or Brian Thomas Jr., for them to have the faith that they have in each other and to make that throw where that is the only spot you can put that football where Brian’s going to be able to come down with it and get stay in bounds and he hit it. It was an indefensible pass. There was nothing that that guy could do. Yeah. And u as much as both of them have been criticized this year, Trevor and Brian Thomas Jr., um they’re probably three and two without two huge moment plays by them. And what did we sit on this couch and harp on all last year? Team couldn’t make plays in big moments. Yeah, let’s do it. We love it. All right. And the the stumble bumble ruski do fall. What have you stumble in the jungle? Stumble in the jungle. I’m waiting for I’m waiting for more. I love it. It’s coming to us. The internet is undefeated. They’ll figure it out. But this play is just all the range of emotions. And that’s, you know, sometimes watching Trevor, you get all your range of emotions. And I got one for you, Brian. That Trevor Lawrence was down twice, right there. I like that. You know, if you look closely at this, you see that Ezra Cleveland comes and cleans up a hole for him. and and also on the backside uh you had George Caroftus who had gotten free and Travis ETN looks and sees what’s going on and then gets his body just to slow down Caroftus who might have chased him down from behind. So there were some quiet heroes out there who didn’t get their name called. But if they don’t do what they do in that instance when everything’s breaking down around them, he doesn’t score. Yeah. It it’s all effort and it’s all plays. Uh what’s that uh phrase? characters what you do and nobody’s watching. They were all plays if they hadn’t made them, nobody would have blamed them for not making them. Um, and you know, I I guess if he gets tackled with 24 seconds there, they probably have time to get up and dirt the ball and they’re still running plays. So, they were probably going to be okay. But, um, again, what a big play and a big moment. And again, one we’ll be talking about as long as we do this. What’s amazing is you see the effort from Ezra, from Travis, and then there’s Chris Jones just walking his way down the the goal line. Effort wasn’t on, right? All pro future Hall of Famer, a guy who has three championship rings, and he’s just sauntering to see the Jaguars want it more than the Chiefs was gratifying. What’s been defining of their five games this year? Yeah, all effort, physicality, and belief in want to. The want to was definitely there. Stay with us here on Jagam.

It’s a big win. Like we I mean obviously it’s a good team. They’ve been a good team for a long time. They’re hard to beat. I mean they really are. They’re really good situationally. Um don’t beat themselves. You know, at the end of the game they’re always in it. they always seem to make the plays and even today, you know, they they went down and got some points there and and we had to go win it. So, it was cool for us to go take it and have to go win it at the end, put together a good drive. Um, and it’s just another step for our for our team. I think showing up on a big stage does say something. You know, it’s a big game. Big game statement win. I think it’s fair to say at this point. Um, I’m just so pleased to see I knew they’d play well cuz I felt like going into this it’s just a different Jags kind of team, but to to beat the Chiefs who always find a way even when they play badly, that said something to me. Listen, I had I had someone from Kansas City tell me before the game that these guys were wound up to come in here because they had watched the Chargers lose and they believed at that moment that the AFC West was still theirs and they had watched the Bills lose and they believed that their name was still written on the AFC. So, the Chiefs came out wildeyed and you saw it early. You know, they’re used to playing these prime time big stage games and they came out all fired up because they believed it was their opportunity to get within a game and prove they were still the big dogs in the AFC. Yeah, I I have a take on that, but I’ll wait for my hot take. Well, why don’t you do your hot take first and John? Listen, one of two things was going to happen yesterday. Either Trevor Lawrence was going to make the moment or the moment was going to make him. That was a stage game for him, a statement game. And it was up and down and back and forth again. Penalties, the turnover on the goal line, some bad throws mixed in with some spectacular plays. But there at the end when he is on the ground, that was his opportunity. Remember, because he’d had the 5yd penalty, then he had gotten them to goal to go with seconds left to play. And if he had fall down, had been touched down, you don’t have to imagine too hard what the conversation would be today. That was a moment that he either used to make his own or would be used to make it for him. And Trevor Lawrence made the moment last night and now has a completely different perspective in the national spotlight about who he is as a quarterback. And I hope he believes it. Yeah. And it’s interesting as you were talking I was thinking of the phrase in tennis they use the phrase on his racket. Meaning, if it’s on a player’s racket, then that player is either going to make an error or he’s going to hit a winner and he’s going to decide the match and the other player’s playing defense on him. Against Patrick Mahomes, when you look back on that game, Trevor sort of kept the game on his racket. He was the one deciding it. Uh he wasn’t scared of the moment. He hears criticism and whatnot. And on the biggest play of the game, third and seven, where if it’s an incomplete pass, you’re facing fourth and seven, he makes a play to Brian Thomas Jr. um that you know that was a no fear play. He kept it on his racket and he won the match. Listen, the way that he would not be stopped. He fell on twice and got up and kept going forward. There’s that will to win. I have wanted to see that level of grit from him during a game. And I I’ve seen moments, but I hadn’t seen it consistently. And you’d have to say that from the po point in the game that they went down 14- nothing, there was a lot of that. The way that he was running the ball was very uh much an example of that. But at the end that get up and step over step, I thought it was freaking awesome. And he made the moment. John, what’s your hot take for us? Well, um, it’s this is what they are. And, uh, it’s sort of redundant because we’ve been saying that all year, but you’re in week five now. And by week five or six in the NFL, um, a lot of the mysteries are gone. A team is an identity and they’re a team that fights and wins. And I thought what was most impressive was they had led and been in control of all their games. Even Cincinnati, uh even San Francisco, they had trailed for I think it was a little over 9 minutes. I thought last night going in that they needed to run early, establish momentum, get 7 nothing, get 73, get 143 up, and then hold on. They didn’t do that. They got down against a team where every fiber of their being could have been a it’s the Chiefs. Well, it was the Chiefs and 14-7 and then didn’t always go, you know, didn’t get right back in. And it got it was a remarkably gutty performance that shows you that this team um it’s almost like in Men in Black when they hit the thing and you forget the past. They don’t remember what happened before and they don’t identify with anything before. They believe they’re a team that goes win. Did you see the stat on the Chief’s record with Patrick Mahomes on the road and a 14-point lead? Probably. won their last 22 overall. This this morning they’re 23 and one when he has a 14-point lead on the road. Well, I’ll I’ll take the one. I want to give some credit to some of the rookies on this roster. We’ve talked a lot about, you know, Trevor Lawrence stepping up to the moment. Deon Lloyd, this is a team now where if you’re drafted, you’re going to have an opportunity to play right right away. We saw that play from Travis Hunter and that was something we wanted to have a marquee moment for him. That catch and also the the shorter catch that Brian mentioned earlier. Those are marquee moments and he was taking advantage of the reps that were given to him. But I also want to give some shout outs to some other people. Jonah Mannheim coming in cold off the bench and playing as well as he did at center um is impressive to me as a late round kind of guy that you’re taking a flyer on thinking hey maybe we can develop him into something coming in at center um after Haney went out with injury Laquin Allen in there chip blocking Chris Jones all night um Rayon Lane on special teams these are people that Bashel Tutin who’s like splitting um carries with ETN at certain points these are players that you drafted and are putting in position itions to contribute to your team right away. And now when they’re in a prime time spotlight, they’re ready to go. This isn’t something where you’re throwing them out there and they’re panicking. They’re playing. They’re a part of your team. And that’s how you win games at this point. When you have a full rounded team of veterans and rookies that can contribute. Well, Liam Cohen said on Tuesday that when they entered this project of rebuilding, of taking over the Jaguars, um they were going to play young players and he told his coaching staff and they talked to the personnel department. They said, “Get used to it. We’re bringing guys in and we’re going to give them the chance to develop. Yeah, it it was a remarkable performance by Jonah Manheim in the sense that he’s the third guy now who has come in and you haven’t noticed that he’s in on the offensive line and I looked down and I saw a zero first and I was like, “Oh, did they move Van Lannon to center?” And it was just sort of the veteran instinct in me say, “Well, they must be putting somebody with some ext.” as it goes back all off seasonason all I’ve heard is no Manheim’s going to play if if if Hanyy’s out credit to him one day he will start at center for this team maybe not this year next year whatever because of hany but he’s going to be a you know a longterm guy yeah longterm guy and quite a moment for a debut as well um big win we’ll talk a little bit more about what’s coming up the rest of the week after the [Music] Since 2014, there’s been only one official home builder of the Jaguars, Dreamfinders Homes.

And this weekend’s game against the Seahawks, brought to you by Florida Blue, the presenting sponsor of that matchup on Sunday in week six, [Applause] guys. Talk about resilience. Down 14 nothing. come back one play at a time. How about Deon Boy, guys? But think about it. All three phases made a huge impact in that ball game. All three phases, guys. Not much we do is truly the most pretty thing in the world. But guess what, man? Guess what? Guess what? Winning feels good. Winning feels good. I just love a Liam Cohen victory speech cuz he just How about Devon F and Lloyd? Like Yeah, exactly. How about him? Um yeah, it’s just it’s so relatable. I mean, we talked about up and down about Liam. It just feels like the right fit. There’s an energy in that room. You can’t deny it. He brought it. I said before, he he’s been a remarkable fit and uh I think he’s going to be the coach here and a successful coach in the NFL for a long time. All right, short week now. We got to prepare for the Seahawks before the London trip the following week. Uh what’s the focus got to be to kind of yes ride this win, but also not overlook your next opponent. It’s got to be all on Seattle. They’re really good football team. They’re very close to being four and one just like the Jaguars are. They had some injuries last week, but you know, Sam Darnold led five straight touchdown drives in the second half to make that a game last week. Well, they might be the best team they’ve played so far. And not maybe not by miles, but Seattle’s one of those teams that you really don’t pay much attention to over here because they’re out west. Uh they don’t necessarily have a superstar that gets them, you know, uh, you know, national recognition all the time. yet every year they they win and they compete and and uh this year they look like I it’s very much like a favorite in their division and I think it’s the toughest matchup so far this season. They also think they have a defense that is going to be worthy of its own name. Kind of like the Legion of Boom. They have a very talented group up front. Uh it’s a great mixture of high round draft choices and guys they’ve developed and the secondary is very talented. Uh they played without some of those guys last week. Deon Witherspoon, their star corner, didn’t go. Uh Julian Love, the safety, didn’t go either, but it’s an excellent team. Now, they’re coming here to play probably on a hot Sunday at a 10:00 start. You got to take advantage of this opportunity while you’ve got it. That game’s presented by Florida Blue. Get your tickets for it. We’re not going to be at home for a while. Home game in London, but we won’t be in Jacksonville for a while. So, you definitely want to come and check that out on Sunday. Stay with us here on Jags AM tomorrow. We’ll look ahead to that matchup. Heat. Heat. [Music]
