GET UP | “Travis is real HUNTER” – Rex Ryan reacts to Jaguars complete comeback win over Chiefs

up with a regular Tuesday crew reunited and it feels so good. Looking smooth today, I must say. Look at that. Eyes goes to Nick today. Showed up looking like that. We walked in the building. Quarter to six. Nick looking good. Yeah. Do somebody’s wrinkles, baby. Monday night in Jacksonville. The Chiefs, the big boys of the AFC against the Jaguars. The measuring stick night for Trevor and company. Pick it up. Third quarter. Jaguars down 14-7. First and 10 in their own territory. Trevor is back. And Travis got to be down there someplace. Oh yeah, he put it up there. And we saw Travis Hunter last step up and become a big time player and make multiple explosive plays for received it. Four yards. And then later in the drive, Trevor Lawrence showing he could do things in the red area. Travis Travis fired up. He had three catches of 64 yards. But here comes Lawrence. He’s going to take off and go. his first rushing touchdown of the season. Spoiler alert, it wouldn’t be his last. Jaguars tied at 14 now. Two and a half remaining in the third quarter. 99, baby. Look at the wheels. First of all, whoever’s back, he is flying. But Deon Lloyd is going to go high on the pick six. Incredibly, Lloyd has four interceptions in his last four games. Jaguars a seven-point lead. Fourth quarter. Second and seven. Travis, where is this going? There’s a flag or there should be a flag on the play. Take another look at this one, JM. Clearly, there should be a penalty. I mean, if you can just take a receiver out to intercept the ball, me and me might still be out. I can catch that pitch. Defense cheating. What a shot. What a shot. Let’s not go that far. Not called. So now we got first and goal. We got Kareem Hunt. We got ourselves a tie game at 21. Two minutes in the fourth. Chiefs down by three. But Holmes, he would throw for 318 yards. How about this strike to Hollywood Brown? Oh, he great toe tap. Get possessed in that thing. Incredible throw. But the catch’s even better. And so later in the drive, it’s Hunt finding the end zone again. Jeff power football. Look at this. You think? Hey, nail in the coffin. Everybody’s celebrating. Everybody’s like, “But wait.” But wait, Harrison Butler kicks it out of bounds. So Jacksonville has the ball at the 40. Now they got a third and seven. It’s Lawrence. It’s Brian Thomas. What a throw. Wow. 43 yds and they’re in business. Throw of the night. Unreal pressure. drops that thing in the bucket. That is an unreal throw and catch. Few plays later, I need my two DBs to tell me. This is a third and 13. Pass interference in the end zone. Is it a good call? It is a good call. You don’t turn to find the ball. You got to make that call. 10 out of 10. I hate it, but it’s a good call. So, that sets up first and goal at the one. And here it comes. The play you’re going to be seeing all week long and everywhere. Trevor Lawrence. He’s a incredible athlete. Just like we designed it. We baited. This is the Jaguars win it 3128. They beat the Chiefs for the first time since 2009. Here’s Trevor on the final play. 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 cuz 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 hands 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 of 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. There is so much to unpack on this game and it generally all starts with that play and Jeff sometimes when a team turns a corner if this is going to be the beginning of something special in Jacksonville. We don’t know that it is 4- one is it’s premature to say that but they’re way better than I think we expected them to be. They’ve been incredibly opportunistic. They had nine takeaways as a team all of last season and this year they already have 14. So now you’re helping get Trevor Lawrence into more advantageous situations. It helps that the Chiefs kicker kicks it out of bounds so you can start that with that game-winning drive on the 40. But you’re able to take advantage of this and I think you see a quarterback and an offense that is that is going through some growing pains but is winning anyway and you’d see improvement and I think that’s only bodess well for their future. No question. Now, generally speaking, we come on in the morning here and we react to the things that we saw. I am usually very hesitant to react to the things that are playing on social media because it’s not always that legitimate. But in this case, there’s so many people talking about the effort of Chris Jones on the final play. So, I want you, everyone I have seen on social media has reacted strongly. Jeff, you’ve been a coach. Tell me what is being said when the coaches are watching that. Yeah, not enough. They they’ll talk about this in film, right? if he if he runs to the sideline, they could pinch him in potentially. But it looked like the the the blitz kind of got screwed up. Like Tranquil comes in front of him, he doesn’t get to the gap, but he stands, he sees him fall down. I don’t know what made him decide not to press it, but you got to come back over the top. Defensive players, you pursue like they have a a drill called pursuit drill. Every day in practice, they pursue the ball. He did not pursue the ball. And is it all his fault? No. But as a as a leader and a captain of that defense, he’s got to be flying to the football. Unfortunately, he doesn’t. And they end up winning the game on this play. You can make mistakes, but you can’t be slow. Like that’s the always been the rule of defense. If you’re going to mess up, mess up fast. Just stand around looking around. Like I think obviously Chris Jones has enough credibility and has accomplished enough in his career that this won’t become a big issue. I’m sure it’s eating him up as much as it is the coaches and the team. It’s probably something we won’t see again. But normally you get ripped for something like that standing around on a pivotal play. But he obviously was exhausted. No doubt about it. I mean, you go all the way back to Peewee football. The two things you always say that are not coachable are attitude and effort. And for Chris Jones on that play, when you’re watching his effort in the league. Yes. Right. This is this is the play of the game. And Trevor Lawrence falls down. He has the best vision to see it. He sprints. He can possibly make that tackle. Just not good. And defensive tackles at the line at at the goal line. That’s where balls pop out. I mean, you think about pit, you know, Pittsburgh um um beating the Patriots at the goal line, right? Punching the ball out. We see this time and time again, change games that he doesn’t pursue the football. I’m not saying it would or would not have, but you never know because you loaf on the play and that’s really what it’ll be jotted up to. Chris Jones did address this after the game. Again, this is very, very heavy on social media right now, which is why it felt necessary to bring it up here. This was what he said after the game. I thought multiple times we had him. We just got to finish. We got to finish. We had multiple guys there that we just got to finish that play. It was a fluke play for him to be able to break that many tackles. Um but yeah, I I think I put it on us as a defense. We got to finish, you know, we got to bring him down on that. I mean, it’s a team game, so I get what he’s saying, but I think in that moment, I I got to be running. I got to give effort is normally what you want to hear. I don’t think he probably realized when you’re in the moment you’re playing. He probably doesn’t realize his body like Chris, you not moving, right? Like right you’re just standing there. So to your point, Nick, I need to get over there and try to make the tackle. Yes, he breaks two guys free from those guys, but come on. And can I say this? What adds to this is week it was week one against the Chargers, right? And and the defense has a chance to close out the same way the defense had a chance to close out the Jags and Chris goes inside. Herbert breaks contain, ends up, slides down, they end up winning the game. But it’s it’s they are finding ways to lose as opposed to win. And when you’re talking about your best player that that you can circle him on two different scenarios this early in the season does not bode well. So I think that will play into people being upset as well. Yeah, you want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. He has literally closed out Super Bowls with with impact plays in the back field. Uh and obviously this is a bad look. I mean, is he confused? Did he think the play was over because the quarterback was on the ground like I I can you think of any possible reason for what he was thinking? But it’s a bad look. And to Jeff’s point, the Chiefs win this game. Like they like we over the past nine years, the Chiefs win this game, right? And uh they did enough wrong special teams penalties again, the kickoff out of bounds. Yeah. There’s things that they don’t usually do to lose on the market. Can I speak Can I speak to the the the plays over? Yeah. It’s never over, right? Like that’s like from a defensive perspective, I can just tell you every defensive coach ever ever
