We work through a brutal loss to Houston, where a 19-point fourth-quarter lead vanished and the same old issues—penalties, protection, and trench flaws—showed up again. We lay out how Jacksonville can still steer toward the playoffs with trench fixes and cleaner football.

Below are the specific talking points we covered this week:

• Fourth-quarter collapse after fast start
• Defensive line struggles
• Offensive line penalties wipe out key plays
• Turnovers dry up and pressure disappears
• Lawrence’s ceiling and the fans outlook on him
• Injuries to key targets and return timelines (Hunter news came after recording)
• AFC wild card chaos and tiebreaker paths
• Offseason priorities led by defensive tackle
• Practical OL reconfiguration for short term

James Johnson and Phil Barrera bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.

We gut out a 30–29 overtime win in Las Vegas, then break down why the Jakobi Myers trade fits our offense and our moment. A record 68-yard field goal lifts the locker room, the run game returns, and Trevor Lawrence settles in after a brutal mistake.

The specific talking points that were discussed included:

• Why a fourth and sixth for Jacoby Myers solves several issues
• The plan for Meyers this season
• Trevor Lawrence's reset after the interception and red-zone runs
• The return of a run-first identity to steady tempo
• Cam Little’s 68-yard record and confidence swing
• Injuries across WR, OL, TE, and defense and how depth responded
• Playoff math after a must-win West Coast game
• What the GM’s aggression signals at the deadline

We welcome special guest Dilla to discuss the upcoming Jaguars season and all the recent changes to the team, from front office makeovers to roster moves and new coaching philosophies.

• The front office transformation from Trent Baalke to James Gladstone has dramatically changed team culture and strategy
• Trevor Lawrence looks mechanically improved with faster processing and better decision-making in the pocket
• Liam Coen's modern offense features pre-snap motion and "gotcha plays" that create easy opportunities for success
• The running back room is stacked with talent, though Etienne likely won't return after this season despite his scheme fit
• Gladstone's approach to roster building prioritizes meritocracy over draft status or contract considerations
• The Jaguars have positioned themselves well for continued improvement with approximately 11-12 draft picks next year
• Jacksonville's stadium plans and downtown development represent growth for both the team and community
• The team has a more physical identity in practice and preseason than in previous years
