John Osier 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: was here on Monday. He's here on Wednesday. How's your break? 7 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: It was great And uh, my father may rest in peace, 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: would have hated this. He hated wires, like when you 9 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: went into his house. Uh, everything was always like there 10 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: was an extension cord. Every lamp had to be in 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: a corner where you couldn't see the chords. That Mario 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: would have hated this. So this is bothering you now 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: he does. You're older going on all year? Yeah, he 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: gets frowsled when he sits down every morning. Last year? 15 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: Is this just sort of an onset? Well, other things 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: were bothering me last year. I didn't. There's a lower 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: one list solve some issues, and now this has risen 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 1: to the top. That's how my life works, is number one. Well, yeah, 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: let's give people, let's get people a preview of what 20 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: else they're going to have on the show today, Hey, 21 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: stone Cold, if you throw the camera on Joe at 22 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: your earliest possible convenience, just because well you know. I 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: mean when I think of Christmas Elves, I think Joe, 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: who crowned himself this morning the corn hole champion of 25 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: the Beaches. I did. I wish I had known that. 26 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: I didn't know there was a competition going on. How 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: are you this morning, Joe? I was your break, Joe. 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: My break was not as good as Johnny's, but it 29 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: was good. Do chords and cables bother you? No? I 30 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: don't care good because there's chords and cables everywhere I 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: look in your direction. You get the camera down here 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: to be scary. You got a song force today? I 33 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: do have a Hey Joe, I don't want here now, 34 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: but I just want to know that you're ready. This 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: is sadly enough, this will be the final song. You're 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: gonna have one to wrap it up next week? Why not? 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to, Hey, Joe? Four sat all right? 38 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: This is it okay, so cherish it now. If I 39 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: had a camera for Stone Cold, if we're getting towards 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: the end of the season, I think we have come today. 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: Five more shows left. I would throw it on and 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: I'd ask you to turn it on, because he wouldn't 43 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: because he just said, no, Brian, I'm not I run 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: this show, not you, which is come true mission. But 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: he's back there somewhere behind the curtain, and he is 46 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: grousing's growling right now, get on with the damn show, 47 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: And so I think we probably should. I'm picturing stone 48 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Cold waking up on Christmas morning like going to the 49 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: shooting right, Why does why does that show? I guess said, 50 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, I just have the warm fuzzies from Christmas yesterday. 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: And so I'm concerned about everybody and whether they're seeing 52 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: his parents, going, hey, stone Cold, you had some presents 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: his parents. Don't call himself. I'll be back. They do, now, 54 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: I'll be back exactly. I don't have time for that. 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: Just give you my ammunition. Okay. So here we go 56 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: with big things before the season finale in Houston on Sunday. 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: Big thing one is the quarterback big story? Who is it? 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: Coachman did not name a story starting quarterback after Sundays 59 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: went against the Dolphins. We'll find out about that more. Today. 60 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: We've supported Blake and we talked about it after the 61 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: game on Sunday that we thought it was a great 62 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: moment for Blake Barrels. But looking at the Texans defensive 63 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: line with J. J. Watt and Jadavian Clowney, I can't 64 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: help but look at Blake Barrels in his rushing ability 65 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: and say that he has to be the guy this 66 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: week because Cody Kessler is not as good as a 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: rusher as Blake is, and they're going to need to 68 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: use that to their their advantage, especially with the Jaguars 69 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: offensive line. Yeah again, John, you and I talked about 70 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: this on Monday. Um, for the long term, it's irrelevant 71 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: who you choose as quarterback because I think we all 72 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: believe that neither one of these guys is going to 73 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: be the guy in nineteen, either as the bridge or 74 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: the backup or the starter or whatever. Now that may change, 75 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: but at this point that's how it feels. Yeah, that's 76 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: how it goes. Here's my thing. If you want to 77 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: give yourself a chance to compete against the Texans who 78 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: are playing for the division title and who are still 79 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: marginally but still playing, uh, if things fall right, they 80 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: could have the number two seed and a bye. So 81 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: you're getting the best they've got well, but they sure 82 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: don't want to not win the division title because then 83 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: that puts him in the Yeah. So, uh, this is 84 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: big for them, really big for them. So you're getting 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: a team that's charged up. And look, I mean they 86 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: they were the hottest team in football in October, November, 87 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: in the early part of December. They just ripped off 88 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: what they win nine in a row. Uh, I mean 89 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: there were tenant a row, tenor row. I mean they 90 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: were as good as a god. Um, you put like 91 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: Bortles in, he's the best chance if you want it 92 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: would be an upset. But if you want a chance 93 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: to pull it upset, you're gonna do it. Like well, 94 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: it would be an upset, but it it's uh the 95 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: way this Jaguars defense is playing right now. In in 96 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: four of the last or three of the last four games, 97 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: even getting up zero seven and a what I feel 98 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: like he low scoring sixteen against Washington, if it makes 99 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: any sense, It didn't feel like Washington, uh was getting 100 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: going offensively because the one touchdown drive was when Deshaun 101 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: Gibson tipped the ball and it was a mirrc right. 102 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: So aside from the outlier of Tennessee Thursday Night weirdness, 103 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: which again feels more like that now than it is 104 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: anything else. The Jaguars defense has been playing well enough 105 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: against a Texans offense that's not great. Um but I 106 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: think it's more to it than just do you want 107 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: to win this game? And I'm not saying they want 108 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: to tank this game? But uh, the injury risk with 109 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: Blake Boarders going into the offseason, if if you release 110 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: him you need him to sign elsewhere. If he's going 111 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: to sign elsewhere, you don't need him with an injury 112 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: because that the d values was he of offset language? 113 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: Um So, because you say you need him to sign elsewhere. 114 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: If you need him to sign elsewhere, he has to 115 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: have offset nine, which just the only reason you beat 116 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: him too. You also you traded Blaine Gabbert a few 117 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: years ago. Could you oh trade him a six round pick, 118 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: seven round pick if if there's any value to him 119 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: that you don't want to get him hurt? So made 120 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: that plays into it. Other than that, I don't know 121 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: why you wouldn't play Cody. I mean, I don't know 122 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: why you didn't play play Poor. So if you're just 123 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: regarding injuries, you want Coody Castler in that that's the 124 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: only reason at this point. I mean, if if you 125 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 1: thought we're thinking the Mega SAT game against Luke Jokele 126 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: a few years ago is bad. If Cody Kestler plays, 127 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: all we've seen is sacks. Yeah, there's six holy penalty 128 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: and six sacks the other day, it's difficult to do. Yeah, 129 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that in Big Thing too. But 130 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: I just get back to the quarterback issue for a moment, 131 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: and that is that if you're Doug Moron, and I 132 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: have no reason to believe that when he sits here 133 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: on Fridays or when he stands there on you know, 134 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: Sundays and Mondays and Wednesdays and talks to us um, 135 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: that he's exaggerating what he says. All I'm trying to 136 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: do is win this game. I mean, he's a man 137 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: of singular focus, and so I would think he would 138 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: play Blake because he he has to watch the tape 139 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: and say that's the better quarterback, and we can talk 140 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: about running in the capability and all of that. He's 141 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: a better pastor. Also, he has a better instinct. I 142 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: don't think Cody Kesler completes second and eighteen to Dante 143 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: Moncrief I think he's too indecisive. I don't think he 144 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: does that. Blake Bortles stood there because he knew what 145 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: he wanted and he delivered the past that led to 146 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: the game winning It's a game winning field goal because 147 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: it was the final go ahead points that you needed. Um, 148 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: if they want to win, it's it's so it'll be 149 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: interesting today when Doug talks if he says Cody Kesseler 150 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: is going to start, because then you say, don't don't 151 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: you want to win? Well, uh, that's everybody else's opinion. 152 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: Doug hasn't come out and said I don't think I 153 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: can win with Cuddy Kesler. So no, and I don't 154 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: think he would right. So from from that perspective, perhaps 155 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: there is a Perhaps there's a reason to start, I guess. 156 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: And he said all season, I don't believe in splitting reps. 157 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: I want there to be one guy, one starting guy. 158 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: But last week on the practice field, they did right 159 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: because he said, sometimes you have to alright. Big thing 160 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: too is the challenge, Sehn hinted at its earlier. The 161 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: challenge this week is going up against the Houston Texans, 162 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: who are playing for the a f C South. The 163 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: biggest challenge is that defensive line going against the Jaguars 164 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: offense lying give up six sacks against the Dolphins, Josh 165 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: Wells against J. J. Watt, Davian Clowney going up against 166 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Eric Flowers, that is a challenge, to say the least. 167 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: Well and Robert Quinn is a heck of a pass 168 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: rusher and he just had Flowers at times on skates. 169 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: Here's Clowney who's all of six ft six almost six 170 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: ft seven, with enormous reach, I mean long arms, very 171 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: long arms, extremely long arms, and so he's really tough 172 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: to get anybody on because he can pep you off 173 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: of it. Tremendous athlete. We all know what he did 174 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: when he was at South Carolina. Well, all of a sudden, 175 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: he's playing like that, only the professional version. So you 176 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: can't really and you don't even have a tight end 177 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: that you can put over there and go. He'll help stop. 178 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: And Marcedes would be that guy if you still had 179 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: eighty nine here, but you don't. So, boy, it seems 180 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: like an enormous challenge for an offensive line that I 181 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: was talking to people the last day and a half 182 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: at Christmas parties and things, and they want to know 183 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: what happened to the Jaguars. Shares said, have you seen 184 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: the offensive line? What? What? Well? Yeah, um, the tight 185 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: end who essentially in this offense is a de facto 186 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, and four starters are on in your reserve. 187 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: So that's five on in your reserve and agent KM 188 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: maybe should have been because he's been playing with a 189 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: bad hamstring all season long. Four starters. It's a Josh 190 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: Wells is your I mean, I mean, now you feel 191 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: like you guys mentioned Josh well Is he didn't catching 192 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: the day I'm not. I'm not sure he's playing Sunday. 193 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure you know. Uh so I assume until 194 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: we see him playing, the won't be Um. I think 195 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Josh Wells played very well when he's played this year, 196 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: But there's this feeling like you're getting back if you 197 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: get Josh Wells. But I mean, you know, this is 198 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: still a guy who wasn't starting at the beginning of 199 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: the year, who you're hoping against. Hope plays to give 200 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: you a chance against J. J. Watt. So yeah, the 201 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean it. Nobody wants to talk about injuries because 202 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: it's so easy once you see the guys in uniform 203 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: and think, oh, there's a bunch football players that there. 204 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: It's awesome, but it's not awesome if they're not starting football. 205 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: But to the people who are still saying, oh, no, 206 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: give me the injury excuse, what if we had said 207 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: before the season began, Okay, here's the Jaguar season, or nutshell, 208 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: they lose their entire offensive line, Well, how are you 209 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: gonna win? They would have said, before then will you 210 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: what would the Jaguars record be if they lose their 211 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: entire offensive line. Well, there's no one that would give 212 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: them a chance at a winning record, no one. They 213 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have said, Well, don't give me those excuses. You 214 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: have to have backups. Everybody who watches this game understand 215 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: there's no backup offensive line in the end. No, there's not. 216 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: You can't pay those guys. There's really not. It's the 217 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: number thirty two times five hundred sixty. Pretty uh, there's 218 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: not a hundred and sixty starting offensive line in the world. 219 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: If you have three on your team, you hope to 220 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: overcome the guys that don't qualify as that right. There 221 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: used to be in five years ago, teams had offensive 222 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: line depth because there wasn't free agency and you could 223 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: keep guys um in this day and age, if you 224 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: talk to any executive in the league, they will tell 225 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: you there are not a hundred and sixty offensive linemen 226 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: who teams would feel good about starting for their football team. Right, 227 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: So there's certainly not three. That's two times um, there's 228 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: only three, So there's not that's their issue. So the 229 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: challenge this week is how do you do anything offensively 230 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: right when you have Clowning on one side and sometimes 231 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: Conny lines up in the middle, and sometimes Clowning and 232 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: wat it up next to each other, which becomes overpowering force. 233 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: But you've got Clowney Watt and then let's not forget 234 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless, who has been a Pro Bowl pass rusher 235 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: coming from his outside linebacker spot. I mean, it just 236 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: it limits what you can do because you have to 237 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: leave maximum protection in And now you've got an underwhelming 238 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: receiving corps right that is out there trying to make 239 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: plays without a tight end who can make plays in 240 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: the game. If the challenge comes back to what can 241 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: special teams do? And can defense score again? Yet again? 242 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Dras had six holding penalties in about a quarter last week, 243 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: to the point where Doug afterward, and Doug is not 244 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: one to take a media situation and try to embarrass 245 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: his players. Is not what he was doing. But he 246 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: said after the game, he said there were times where 247 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: he was asking, he was telling the players, I really 248 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: haven't seen anything that blake in terms of holding. So 249 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: he's almost saying, look, officially had no choice but to call. 250 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: I mean, it was clear it was holding. Well that 251 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: take those six most all whole things in the game 252 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: don't get called, and you have six sacks on top 253 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: of it, and several of Kesser's completions, he was running 254 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: for his life. Well, the Dolphins pass fresh is good, 255 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: but it's not the Texans. No, No, Texans have the 256 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: best defensive front of the league right now when you 257 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: just look at individuals and how they match them up. Now, 258 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: that said, usually in the NFL, when you talk about 259 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: a match up like this, the team on the on 260 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: the bad side of the matchup usually winds up playing 261 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: a little better than you think. And it's it's not 262 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: I don't expect there to be twelve sacks. I don't 263 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: expect NFL records to be set, but it's uh, Well, 264 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: the Draguars went in there against a bad offensive line 265 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: if you remember Opening Day last year and had ten 266 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: So it's not possible, right, I'm just saying, let's give 267 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: me a little let's give me a little something to 268 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: work with you And I like special teams has given 269 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: a lift the last two weeks. Defense has given a 270 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: big lift the last two weeks. They might need to 271 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: out of that much. Not two scores, but to flip 272 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: big place to have a chance to win this well. 273 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: And and in Miami you had Telvin's touchdown, but at 274 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: the end of the half, if you go back and watch, 275 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: and I know that you do. Uh. Pete Westbrook was 276 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: the punter away. He kind of got pinned in over 277 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: on the Dolphins sideline there. If he had a little 278 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: bit more, just a little, he would have scored on that. 279 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: And if it hadn't been for Chris Reid's behind, they 280 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: might have scored a field goal. Yeah, yeah, selfish of him. 281 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: But right, Okay, Big thing three. Big thing three is 282 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: the a f C South. Looking at the playoff picks here, 283 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: the Texans are already in Colton. Titans game got flexed 284 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: to Sunday night football. That is almost a playoff contention. 285 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: Game winner goes home when our winner goes to the playoffs, 286 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: the loser goes home. If the Jags can beat the Texans, 287 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: that those winners of the Titans and Colts game when 288 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: the a f C South. Moral of the story is 289 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: all three of these teams are in the conversation in 290 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Well, so the South Big Three doesn't include 291 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: this team. And the OBErs question is how far away? 292 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: How f we're behind the other teams? Is this franchise? 293 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: Um farther than you want, not as far as you think, meaning, yeah, 294 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: they ought to be in it right now, and they're 295 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: five and ten. And if you you always say the NFL, 296 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: you're not as bad as you think, and you're not 297 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: as good as you think. Um, would you with a 298 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: couple of plays here and there, you're probably eight in 299 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: seven right now? Um, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, if a couple 300 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: of it, you know, if the Colts, yeah, it was 301 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: one of them, so Indie, Pittsburgh, Buffalo. So if you 302 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: had beaten the Colts, they're back with you at eight 303 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: and seven. So it just feels the seven game losing 304 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: streak was really two streaks. It was the blowouts at 305 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: the beginning of it, Kansas City, Dallas and Texas or 306 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: the Texans, and then the four ride after that. Every 307 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: one of them could have gone either way. And that 308 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: was really where it all got away. Um had that 309 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: little four game losing streak at the end of the 310 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: seven game losing streak been a split. Then I think 311 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: you're talking about beating Washington and your back. In that said, 312 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: you can't sit here and say, well, you're you can't 313 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: say about a five and ten team that it was 314 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: that close because the NFL you win. Well, here's the entry, 315 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: the defense, the guys who won't be back. You would 316 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: assume that Malik won't be back, and obviously Bury Churches 317 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: and back and maybe two Sean I don't know, well, 318 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: he won't be back at his cap figure, which is 319 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: nine million. Even with those guys gone, And even if 320 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: you don't bring back Marcel Darius, which I was assuming 321 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: mid season he'd be back now with Calais playing at 322 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: the sub there's no way you can't get Calais back. 323 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: So but even if you lose the guys I'm just 324 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: talking about, you still have three line corners. You have 325 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: Miles Jack, Kelvin Smith, Uni can got a Clais Campbell, 326 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: Tavian Bryant, Abrey Jones. That's a defense good enough that 327 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: if you make marginal improvements on offense, you should be 328 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: able to compete. Um, we gotta a break. I'll say this. Uh. 329 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: The team that I think that their furthest away from 330 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: is the Colts because they have Andrew Luck and they 331 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: have a hundred and twenty million dollars in salary cap 332 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: room next year, so they could go grab a Levy 333 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: on Bill. They could dramatically improve themselves on both sides 334 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: of the ball. They're not that far from the from 335 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: the Titans, despite the fact that the Titans have beaten 336 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Uh, And they're not 337 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: that far from the Texans, I don't think because the 338 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: Texans have a young quarterback, a bad offensive line, not 339 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: much in terms of offensive weapons outside that one amazing receiver. Right. Um, 340 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: I think they can make a lot of ground up 341 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: against the Texans. And Titans will see about Andrew Luck 342 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: in the Colt So and I say that with the Colts, right, Um, 343 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: but they beat the Colts, they shut him out here 344 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: six to nothing from them with cap space that I 345 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: gotta take a break. But I remember we talk about 346 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: cap space. We look at cap space with this organization 347 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: right now and think, boy, the team's got cap space. 348 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: They are set because they seem we haven't got boy 349 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: A Campbell made dramatic strides. You've always got to see 350 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: how the team uses cap space because as we've also 351 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: seen free agency around here, that cap space doesn't always 352 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: work out. I totally get that, So it's hard to 353 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: assume that's going to be used to improve some as 354 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: it blows up. They've got a quarterback playing on a 355 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: mega deal right now and they still have all that 356 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: cap on, which goes to show that they can at 357 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: least keep their team together if they like the guys 358 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: they've thought. And that's more of a key. You're about that, 359 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: absolutely all right. We'll take a break. When we return, 360 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: we'll have Hey, Joe and the O Zone snapshot on 361 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: Jags Drive Time, brought to you by the Duval Motor Company, 362 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: who invites you to enjoy the Duval Difference in four 363 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: locations on Atlantic and cast it in Jacksonville and in Gamesville. 364 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: When you hear think Duval Motor Company, a proud partner 365 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Chadwaters since nineteen sixteen.

Yes, let's go to 440 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: Weston from Greenville. Do you think there's any chance that 441 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: the Jacks talk about Blake Boardle's restructuring his contract this offseason? 442 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: Amazing story about Western from Greenville. By the way, it's 443 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: uh Western from Greenville is is his family's from Jacksonville. 444 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: I believe Weston is is the is the child in 445 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: in the in the dynamic family. My son Jacob had 446 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: an internship at a tennis club in Greenville this summer. Uh, 447 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: and his first day there, he's wearing a Jag shirt 448 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: and Weston's dad a sort of a conversation ozone rate. 449 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: There was a problem in Jake's internship and Jake wound 450 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: up staying with Weston's family for a couple of this 451 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: work wealth it well, it's uh, it was cool because 452 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: it just kind of shows you there's good people out 453 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: there and a family from good people. But it's kind 454 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: of wild Greenville, Delaware. What are the odds wind up 455 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: with Jags fans and hardcore Jacks fans come to a 456 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: lot of games and good family. So blake bords contract 457 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: is the issue here, and Weston was asking if they 458 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: might be restructuring Blake's contract in order to have him 459 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: stay in that bridge quarterback to the future and and 460 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: it's a legitimate question, um, but I think it's going 461 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: to have the answer of no. It just as we 462 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: talked about money, Brian, there's a lot of logic and 463 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: on paper stuff that says it makes sense to bring 464 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: Blake back as the bridge guy. But I just don't 465 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: know if that's at some point when he's been your 466 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: franchise guy and when there's so much attached to it. Um, 467 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: it just feels like it has. I've been saying the 468 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: ozon for a couple of weeks. Sometimes it's time to 469 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: move on. Uh. It's not a definite, and there'll be 470 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: some conversation, well I think after the season about do 471 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: we do this? But I think the answer will want 472 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: to be enough. I would tend to agree for for 473 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: what you're saying, and that is is that it feels 474 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: as if and we said it when they benched him, 475 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: it feels like it's time is done here right um. 476 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: And I have, among others, said, if you want to win, 477 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: you put him in now, right. Um. The logic of 478 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: it makes sense because look, you're gonna you're gonna pay 479 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: him something if he leaves. You're paying him to leave, 480 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: and then you're paying a bridge quarterback, a veteran to 481 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: come in. So now you're paying two and only one 482 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: of them is here while you draft someone. I I 483 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: have absolutely no uh hesitation if I'm TC and d 484 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: C and d M to keeping him as my bridge quarterback. 485 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: I understand why they don't, but I would. There's the 486 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: other side of this too, Um would he want that? 487 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: Probably not, And that's the you know, with a restructure, 488 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: he has to gree the restructure. And you know, even 489 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: with him, he's been a a a class act on 490 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: every level. If if that's not the role he wants. 491 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: I haven't talked to Blake about it, but it would 492 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: be hard from Blake's perspective to say, Okay, I'm going 493 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: to I still want to be a starter everyone, So 494 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: she wants to be the guy. Probably hard for him 495 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: to envision and getting a fair shot to get back 496 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: in a competition without a doubt, and everyone's calling for 497 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback the first time he has a two 498 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: interception game. So from his perspective, going to some place 499 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: where things aren't established and there's a little bit more 500 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: of a path to maybe starting again would make sense. Um. Again, 501 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him about that, but that feels 502 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: like something that might work against restructuring them as well. 503 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I think it's likely to have 504 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: the right I'm with you on that. I just more 505 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: open to the idea than most All right, all right, 506 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: let's go to Jordan from Jacksonville. Just an average running back? 507 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: Well right now he is, you know, and uh, there 508 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: were times. There have been times where he's not uh 509 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: potential wise physically he's not. Uh, he shows flashes of not. 510 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: But at this point he's thirty one games in minus 511 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: whatever he's missed, and his numbers and performance say that 512 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: he is. So I didn't say no along uh since 513 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: the two games this year Pittsburgh Buffalo where I thought 514 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: he looked like the guy. It's now up to him 515 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: to show us that he's that. I would say that 516 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: he is an average running back between the twenties and 517 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: an elite running back inside the he has that nose 518 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: for the end zone. He knows how to use his 519 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: power and his and his he's got a quickness to him. 520 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: You know. It's he has a nose for the end zone. 521 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: He's really good at getting into the end zone. And 522 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: so from that perspective, there he is um. But his 523 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: numbers say here, here's my thing. And I've got to 524 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: talk to some people and find this out. It looks 525 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: to me like he has poor field vision. There are 526 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: there was a play on Sunday where and and we 527 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: can go back to the Pittsburgh game as well. On 528 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: third down at the end of the ball game, if 529 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: he bounces it to the outside, he probably scores um. 530 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: But he'd never see that. And he missed a wide 531 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: open hole. It looked to me as if he was 532 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: looking at it and then came back and said, no, 533 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: I'll go there where there's three guys in the way. 534 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't understand why he did that. Now, maybe there 535 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: was a I don't understand. I don't get it. But 536 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't think he's got great vision. I think he 537 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: lacks a certain instinct other than put your head down 538 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: and try to run downhill on a defense, which is 539 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: what he did because all he's ever had to do. 540 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: The good and the point you made, Bryan, is that right. 541 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: He is very good inside the twenties, um, And that's 542 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: the good news. Uh. The bad news is you drafted 543 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: him to be more than that. I hate to bring 544 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: this name out of the past, but Tim Tebow was 545 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: an excellent quarterback inside the ten yard line. He had 546 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: a nose for the end zone too. But obviously we 547 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: know he's been out of the league long enough now 548 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: that he couldn't play at an elite level, um so, 549 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: but for running back you can probably last a lot longer. However, 550 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: you're gonnaet drafted the number four overall to be a quarter, 551 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: to be a cornerstone guy. Yet that's to get him 552 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: into the red zone action. The thing that that does 553 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: give you hope, though, is there are times where you've 554 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: seen it. The Buffalo game, the three quarters in Buffalo, 555 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: before he lost his mind and went across the field 556 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: to fight. They win that game, by the way, if 557 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't do that, they may overturn the touchdown. They 558 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: put the ball third and one, a part of me 559 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: first and goal at the one, and he scores, and 560 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: they had all the momentum in the world there and 561 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: the Bills don't win. The Jaguars win that ball. But 562 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: up to that point where he lost his mind and 563 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: ran across the field, he owned him. He was doing 564 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: whatever he wanted. And that's the hope is this has 565 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: been a mess of a season for him, with the hamstring, 566 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: with the expectations, with the not meeting those, with the 567 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: coming back, with the fight. So benefit of the doubt 568 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: for the kid because he's still just a kid. Uh 569 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: Reset that shown enough potential to make you think that 570 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be out of the question or the biggest 571 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: comeback in NFL history if he has a big year 572 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: next year. Alright, I think we have one more. One more. 573 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: Let's go to jeans from Salt Lake City via Jacksonville. 574 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm not sure it's been said, but the 575 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: only problem with our defense is our offense. They in 576 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: most games of how to stay on the field much 577 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: too long. Even the best wear down. Keep our defense 578 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: as intact as you can, then just please fix that offense. Well, 579 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's been months, but yes, yes, the 580 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: biggest difference is not so much the wearing down, it's 581 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: the lack of weeds. And we talked about in Monday, Brian. 582 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: The two interception returns for a touchdown this year have 583 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: come in the exact same scenario. Leading the fourth quarter 584 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: pressure turns into a interception turns into a touchdown. That's 585 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: how you get them. They have had enough opportunities to 586 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: do that. As we said earlier, even with a couple 587 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: of losses personnel wise, the core for this thing is 588 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: still a defense that you ought to be able to 589 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: win with. It will still come back as one of 590 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: the better defenses in the NFL. I think it's reminding 591 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: people that they tried to fix the offense this year, 592 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: so they knew that the defense was not likely to 593 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: play to two thousand seventeen levels unless the offense gave 594 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: them the chance. So we're not just over here talking 595 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: to talk. But they signed marquees and they went out 596 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: and grabbed Ante Moncrief and Austin Severian Jenkins and put 597 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: the biggest contract in front of guard Andrew Norwell that 598 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: to that point had ever been given to an offensive guarden, right, 599 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: and then they built this two back system that we 600 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 1: never got to see. They knew they had to fix 601 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: the offense this year. It just didn't work out because 602 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: of the injuries, and that of course took away from 603 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: the defense. Yet we we get it. We know what 604 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: this is, and so do they. And they have to 605 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: have a different plan this year apparently because they're not 606 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: going to go forward with their quarterbacks. So they're gonna 607 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: be working on it from the very moment that this 608 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: season is over already. Number one, let's take a break. 609 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: When we come back.

I 632 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: have questions to ask, big ones. Ah ask number one. 633 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: Do you want to see the Jaguars win in Houston 634 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: on Sunday? Yes? Or no? No? Because you want a 635 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: better draft position? As Brian says, if you're gonna suck, suck, 636 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: ye say that. But do you want to see them 637 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: win for pride? Do you want another Dolphins game where 638 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: things were good and in a high note, good for 639 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: coach Marone, good for this locker room, bad for the draft? 640 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: What are we thinking? Brian? Go ahead, narrow loss, n 641 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: Look at this point, you've fallen back to ninth in 642 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: the draft order, and if you win, you can still 643 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: kind of be in the top ten. I think it's 644 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: fair to say, and look, if they win, I'm not 645 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: going to be upset, but I think it's fair to 646 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: say that they cost themselves some draft capital. Right, if 647 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: they want their guy, there will be other teams that 648 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: will be able to vault in front of them. They 649 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: will have to spend a second, a second and a third, 650 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: two threes. You need a quarterback, another offensive alignment, a 651 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: tight end, a wide receiver. I mean, let's just think logically, 652 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: you're probably running back, you're giving up draft pick. But 653 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: does everyone agree you gotta have the quarterback? But then 654 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: winning is losing at this point of the season. I 655 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: get it. The coaches don't think that way, the players 656 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: don't think that way. I'm not I'm not sure the 657 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: owner thinks that way. But the reality of it is 658 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: is that if you fall further down the draft board, 659 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: you're going to cost yourself if you want to climb 660 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,959 Speaker 1: and get a quarterback. So I'll say, play well, narrow 661 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: loss ten nine. I'm happy with the way they play 662 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: first of all. Then I'm gonna win on side, so 663 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: I don't expect that. That's why I said it. And 664 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: you've got You've got two offensive tackles, right, Eric Flowers 665 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: and Patrick o'mam a right because because as you just said, 666 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 1: we're not gonna see Josh Wells they started the season. 667 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: One is a left guard to one is a right 668 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: tackle for the New York Giants. Got cutting in there here, 669 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: So wait, you're gonna stop J. J. Watton, Jadeveon Clowney. 670 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: Defensive special teams go play well, kick some field goals 671 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: and narrow loss. It would not be disappointed with. My 672 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: answer is yes, but no. You sort of want to 673 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: see it because it makes it a cool story. But 674 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: it cool but not. I mean when you're there on 675 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: the side, when when in the stadium on Sunday, yes, 676 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: that you want to see them play well and win. 677 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: It's a better story for us to tell. It's easier 678 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: for us to do our jobs when the players aren't rap, 679 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, when the coach won't. And but they got 680 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: their win lateness, Yeah, that was great. They had a 681 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: seven game losing or seven game losing straight. And when 682 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,240 Speaker 1: you look back on it over their last five games, 683 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: they'll they'll have one two out of the five played 684 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: really well defensively in a couple of them, probably most 685 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: of them. That's enough to make them feel good going forward. 686 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: There is nothing, nothing that this wind could do to 687 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,760 Speaker 1: make you feel better. If in April you get drafted, 688 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,919 Speaker 1: the guy you want is there and you can't get 689 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: to him because you don't have enough draft capital to 690 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: go up right, if the quarterbacks climb up the board 691 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: and go back to two thousand and was it sixteen 692 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: when Carson wentz and Jared Golf with the quarterbacks they 693 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: Golf was thought to be a top ten pick. Wentz 694 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: was thought to be maybe a borderline first round pick, 695 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: and they went one too. If these quarterbacks, Herbert and 696 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: Haskins come out, they could shoot up the board. And 697 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: you have teams at the top that don't need quarterback. Um, 698 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders, the Cardinals, the Jets, the Niners. Right, they're 699 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: all gonna be auctioning them off, and teams that they're 700 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: desperate for quarterbacks are going to have to pay. Trust me, 701 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: you don't. You won't remember this game in April in 702 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: a lost season, but you'll remember the moment that you 703 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: draft your franchise quarterback. Think about the future, not the present. Yeahs, 704 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: number two, here we go. Who changed the storyline of 705 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: their season? Last Sunday we talked about it. I was 706 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: a nastional mass last week. Who's got to do it? 707 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: Who's got to change the storyline? Now? After I went 708 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: against Miami? Who did just that? I'm trying to think. 709 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: I think last week you did say Telvins, Now I did, 710 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: and I'm going with that again. Um, he has not 711 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: had a good season. He just he's not a big linebacker. 712 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: He's a playmaking linebacker, and so you judge him on 713 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 1: game changing plays. You judge him on interceptions, pick six 714 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: is uh, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries. Um, and he just 715 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: he hasn't done it this year. He has not been 716 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: that guy. You can judge him on tackles because he's 717 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: had some big tackle games, but he just he just 718 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: not had a good season. And on Sunday he gave 719 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: you that victory. There weren't any season to I guess 720 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: the season to finding victory was the Patriots. It was 721 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: so long ago. Um, but he gave you a good 722 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: Christmas holiday because you felt good about your team. Um. 723 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a reach, but maybe Carlos 724 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:57,919 Speaker 1: hide uh because I think that game may have been 725 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: the A four runner to him being resigned or I'm 726 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: not resigned, right, because it felt last week like he 727 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: probably gonna be around. He'd been inactive, he'd been a 728 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: healthy scratch. Um, he came in did for a second 729 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,959 Speaker 1: time this season. It was a second good game since 730 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:23,359 Speaker 1: he's been here. Uh probably showed everybody that he's going 731 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: to be around next year. I would think that he 732 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: can run with power and if he had an offensive 733 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: line that could really create holes between the tackles, which 734 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't right now because of the injuries. I think 735 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 1: you'd see a much more effective player. I think here's 736 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: the other thing at this point, why would you let 737 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: him go? Well, yeah, because you gave the pick and 738 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: you and he's got money in your cap. But here's 739 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,359 Speaker 1: the thing. We went through the launder list of guys 740 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: that you need if you can find a way, and 741 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: we saw five point seven procure against Washington from David Williams. 742 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: If you're going to play the power running game, which 743 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: they are, bring these three guys back. You don't need 744 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: to go get a guy at that position, or you 745 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: can do it in the sixth round if you're looking 746 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: for scatback more granted guy exactly which is where you 747 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: found him. So um, yeah, I think that's a good one. 748 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: None of you said I thought that was a shoeing. 749 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: If we thought he was coming back, then maybe right. 750 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: But we said he We not thought he'd never take 751 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,280 Speaker 1: another snap in Jacksville. Let's see, we did three weeks 752 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: ago when he got benched. That would be the last. 753 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: I think what we said was is that he's done 754 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: here long term. I don't know that we didn't think 755 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: he might not get in, But I get your point. You. Yeah, 756 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: he boy. His teammates were so happy for him in 757 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: the locker room on Sunday. He is well well liked. 758 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: I don't beloved is a strong word, but guys love him. Yeah. 759 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: I thought this was as asked. Well, I'm sorry, I 760 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: just thought it was a shoot. All right, all right, 761 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: we can make a John As segment. All right, let's 762 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: to the last one. Have you got? Oh boy? Here 763 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: we go last As? Here? What would you get Doug 764 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: Morn for Christmas? Tough? Right?

But Doug so much better, so 767 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,760 Speaker 1: much harder. If he comes in this morning and says, Brian, 768 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: you didn't get me a gift, what would you go? 769 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: Hurry and get him today and then put on his 770 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: desk tomorrow, Oh John, that makes me worried.

My dream is to 772 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: someday go to one of those office swap parties and 773 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: have everybody gift be twenty five dollars, So you would 774 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: give Dug on a envelope with cash and its not 775 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: even much. And you know what, he would probably that's 776 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: a good gift, even like that cash. I do I 777 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: have to answer after that? No, that's fine. I wouldn't 778 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: remember last year I and he said to Christmas cookies? 779 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: What am my Christmas cookies? You've seen Doug. He's a 780 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: big guy. I bet he likes cookies. I bet I 781 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 1: bet he like pinner butter blossoms. That I would that 782 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: I would get here.

I don't really want that. Nobody said that, hey, 786 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't have enough cash. Keep your cash.
