 Alessandra Pompry on Sportscaster at our news partner News4Jax joins us now by phone from New York. Good morning, Alessandra Good morning. How are you? Good? Thank you for joining us from afar. We appreciate it. Oh Of course. Yeah, I'm here visiting getting early Christmas with my family in New York So I'm excited to come back to Jacksonville, but not excited to talk about this loss What a depressing game that was for Jackson yesterday. It kind of started from the beginning Yeah, so I mean first of all, I'm just curious about your take on the Trevor Lawrence's return to the game so soon after an injury I'm not surprised about that to be honest He was limited in practice this whole week, but even in practice. It didn't seem like it hurt him that much The one thing I know about Doug Peterson and the Jaguars are not going to put a player Into harm's way. So if he was going to play and it was going to either hurt him even more or Or You know, just it wasn't going to help the team if he wasn't like fully a hundred percent They weren't going to play him But they did he's never missed a game to injuring his entire playing career from high school college now in the NFL So I mean, it's a big thing. He wanted to play of course going to keep that story going You know, and he said after that it didn't really hurt him that much He didn't re-injure his ankle nor his knee. So, you know, that wasn't an issue But more of the issue Yeah, just from the start of the game. What were you seeing when you say that you saw problems right at the beginning manifesting? Yeah, I mean look at the opening drive like Joe Flacco who's not, you know He's a little older for quarterback 38 I think and he's only been on the grounds roster for a couple weeks For him to open the game with such a nice drive moving the ball down the field The defense could not stop them at all and then capping it with the 30 or 34-yard touchdown pass team to Joku When he was wide open, that's not a way that you want to start the game But, you know, Unfortunately the Jaguars opening jives Warns with sacks and then he went, you know, in his 3-9 they punch it back to the ground So, you know from the beginning you could tell that this was a kind of a wonky game And it may be a very long day for the Jaguars and of course, that's what it turned out to be And so when it comes to the Browns, they've got a great defense Who won the game for them? Was it the defense? Was it the Jags offense losing? What do you think was the most consequential? You know, the Browns they have the top-ranked defense Everyone knew going into this game if you knew the NFL You knew this was going to be a tough game because of that Brown defense or offense is I mean they looked great yesterday But they're really not that amazing But I think the Jaguars offense is the reason why they just had such a tough time After the game, you know, Dick Pearson called it a disconnect over Lawrence Lawrence called it just miscommunication and You know on every single drive there was miscommunication They just could not find a way to get going but you know, I think Travis Etienne had a good game. There was some Wildcat formations with him I think that was so easy a Trevor Lawrence a little bit with his ankle injury Evan Ingram had a great day career high two touchdowns And you know, he had 11 receptions for 95 yards. So he was the bulk of the offense Yeah, it was it was hard. I mean when you have three intercept when you throw three interceptions for Trevor Lawrence You know, you're statistically you're not going to win. Yeah, I will say that the shouting in my house At the television all surrounded the two-point conversion attempt. What what was the deal there? Yeah, I you know, they asked I'm Peterson after About that and he said analytically it would have been good for us to get that and not like kick them into field ball range Then you win So he thought that that was a good decision to do that You know, I think a lot of people were questioning that because even if you just were down by three You could have done non-side kicks and into overtime But I think because of how big off the Jaguars are you have a lot of players out right now or a lot of players playing through injuries They're not completely hundred percent. I think any extra minute playing in the game could be you know An issue You know, they played almost four hours now is a very long game yesterday So I think that may possibly he was trying to avoid overtime You know, but he thought it was a good idea and obviously it didn't work out for them But still a close game, you know, 31 27 and there's still they I mean they benefited from some bad weekend for some other folks in the AFC South. Yeah Yeah, of course, you know, they're still surprisingly one game Lead in the AFC South says the Texans and Colts lost In New York, they just were hosting the Texan. So I kind of watched that game simultaneously But yes, that's a good thing. I mean they lost back to that games the second time this season, you know week two and three They also lost but you know, they're hosting the Ravens on Sunday night football. They're leading the AFC North or one of the best teams It's not the best team in the league. It's gonna be a tough test for them. They really need this win Well, thanks Alessandra Pumphrey on Sportscaster at our news partner news for Jack's thanks so much for joining us by phone today. Oh Thank you everyone. Have a great day you too
