1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time. Ryan sex Sexty John says it actually

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: day jaguarres Drive Time starts right now. All right, here

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: we go on if we can definitely use a motivation,

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: but we can't get that back. That's one thing about it.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: And the great thing about it's a new year. That's

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: how it is. Every year, whatever happened in the past,

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: you forget about it. Those that hold on to it,

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: you know, they stay complacent or you know, they get

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: ahead of themselves because they're comparing to what happened last year.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: We can't do that. It's a new year. They have

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: new players. We have new players, new weapons. So we

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: just have to go out there and make plays. I

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: do that all the time. Night. You're so ready to

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: go on a Thursday morning, you said to me, you said,

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna have boy off the top of a We're

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna at the top. Are there we go? Uh? Yeah,

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm raring to go. It's Thursday. It's Patriots Week. Um,

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: the storm is not coming this direction that it looks

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: like no storm related weather on Sunday. I just want

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: another Sunday in the wind, in the wind, in the rain, right,

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: I want to be dry on to day and it

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: looks like we're gonna get that now. So I'm excited, Slint. Sorry,

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: I just temp the gun on that one. It's okay. No,

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited too. It's gonna be hot, but that's what

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: we wanted to be. No, rain is good exactly. We

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: like the heat. It's our friend. By the way, this

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: hour of Jack's Drive Time is brought to you by

28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: our friends at Mercedes of Jacksonville and Mercedes of Orange Park,

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: proud members of the Fields Automotive Group. Um, you got

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: the sense yesterday just as sort of an overview to

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: our show, that there were two schools of thought in

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the locker room. One is it's just another game. In fact,

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: you could hear the players that were listening to the

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: coach because all he said was I heard this, and

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I went, okay, there's the theme. I'm excited that we're

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: playing at home and it's the home opener in front

37
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: of our fans. They did not take the bait. And

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: then there were some that said, the heck with that.

39
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: I want to play the Patriots, right, I want not

40
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: that it's the same game. It's not revenge because you

41
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: can't go back and play the Super Bowl over again.

42
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: They got that one. Um, but I want to play better.

43
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to walk off the field with the W

44
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: I want that. So there were two distinct schools in

45
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: that locker room. Mstday absolutely had a j Boy who

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: we just heard. It was very intense focus. We had

47
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: to give him credit real quick. I'm sorry interrupt you,

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: but today, um Jalen's the big talker. Jalen obviously is

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: the guy who draws everyone to him with his words

50
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: and his play. Obviously, UM boy is more soft spoken,

51
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: but you can see in his eyes the intensity and

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: what he's feeling. Yeah, when he walks up, it's almost

53
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: a scary thing. He is laser focused him. But he

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: was one of the guys that said the first thing

55
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: you said, you know, a win front of our fans,

56
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: regular season Game two. And then you had to Sean

57
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Gibson who was all about the Patriots, all about an

58
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: FC rematch and I think he said one and nine

59
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. He is, Yeah, he was all excited

60
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: about the Patriots. Well, he had two separate sides of

61
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: the Spectrus. We said on Tuesday the Jaguars have only

62
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: ever beaten the Patriots once and Scott Zolak was the

63
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: quarterback that day. Pete Carroll was the head coach. They've

64
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: never beaten Brady or Belichick. This is their best opportunity

65
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: with this defense. And if Lendard for Net plays, well,

66
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself again. I'm sorry. Let's do

67
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: the big things so that we can go catch up.

68
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Catch up to me, Lynn, catch up to me. You're excited,

69
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: all right. Big thing one like it's been all week

70
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: is for Net status Leonards Like now, it's been our

71
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: big thing the entire week. Week one. This just it

72
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: will and it's going to be tomorrow too. So done.

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: When we asked him yesterday if he's going to play,

74
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: he said, even if he doesn't practice all week, if

75
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: he's ready to go on Sunday, they're gonna put him

76
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: out there. You know, I'm more focused on how we

77
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: have to prepare then, you know, trying to throw up

78
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: smoke screens and things like that. I don't I don't know.

79
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: If you guys are ready to play, they play, We

80
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: get him out there, and uh, you know, it's more

81
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: of a focus on us. Um. I don't like to.

82
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: I think when you start playing those games and things

83
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: like that, I think you're wasting energy, waste in time.

84
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: You know, this is a common theme throughout the league

85
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: this week. Uh for net obviously is the engine for

86
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: the Jaguars on the offensive side of the ball. So

87
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: we're all waiting to see whether he'll or not. And

88
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: he said on the field after the game to an

89
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: ESPN reporter, Oh yeah, he'll be ready to go. The

90
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: same thing, by the way that Aaron Rodgers said to

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Michelle Tafoya on Sunday Night Football. Oh yeah, he'll be

92
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: ready to go. There are star performers all around the

93
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: league whose expectation is to play on Sunday, and yet

94
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: they have to work their way towards Sunday and that

95
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: final workout on Sunday morning. I don't expect that we

96
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: will know anything until on Sunday morning where they will

97
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: and not that Doug is playing games with this, but

98
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: he said there's a plan in place, you know, since

99
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: the flight home on Sunday, probably since halftime on Sunday

100
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: they knew exactly because he was in street closed in

101
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: the second half. They were probably working maybe some stimulation,

102
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: who knows, And they've had a plan all week. They're

103
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: gonna work him out on Friday afternoon, after the workout,

104
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: after it's closed to the media, which again is not

105
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: playing games. It's the coaches prerogative. And so then they'll say, Okay, well,

106
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: now can we get it done today? Can we get

107
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: it done? So today? Can we get it done Sunday?

108
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: And my guess is somewhere between Leonard and the coaches

109
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: where the reality is and we'll find out at eleven

110
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: thirty on Sunday. So stay tuned on this one. Anyone

111
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: that tells you that they know, if it's not Tom,

112
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: Dave or Doug, they don't, Right, Leonard's gonna have input

113
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: into this one. Obviously, he's going to have input in

114
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: this one. But he may be able to say I'm

115
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: absolutely going to go on Sunday, and on Sunday Doug

116
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: may say no, it's week two. We have a long season.

117
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Carson Wentz, right, what have I

118
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: been telling you not to beat my own chest? But

119
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat my own chests here? What have I've

120
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: been telling you since Mayson will not see him in London?

121
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: I think that's true. Not I could be wrong on that,

122
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: but what I've been saying is he won't be ready

123
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: for the start of the season, and all the stories

124
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: where he looks great, he'll be ready for the start

125
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: of the season. Jeff Logan was in here on Tuesday

126
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: and it was real simple, go back to the surgery

127
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: and start counting months. It's a year injury for him.

128
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't expect. And now all of a sudden as well,

129
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: he's not ready. He hasn't even he cann't need clear

130
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: for contact yet. Every player in the league wants to

131
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: push the timetail forward because it's a very short career.

132
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: They don't want to miss the opportunity to get on

133
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: the field and make their money. Pro ball. It's about

134
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the money. They want to make their money. Now, Wentz

135
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: wants to play. Oh yeah, they know, they want to

136
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: play with their teammates and all that stuff. But the

137
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: bottom line is these guys sacrifice their bodies for the money. Right.

138
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: They want to go and do that as long as

139
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: they can. So Leonard for Net, he wants to play,

140
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: he wants he wants to maximize his opportunities, but eventually

141
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: the coaches slow the process down. Agreed and worst case

142
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: scenario if for Net cannot go on Sunday, Blake Bortle

143
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: said yesterday to the media. You know are other options.

144
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: We have confidence in them. Am I supposed to not

145
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: talk right now? I don't know. Everybody knows the kind

146
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: of football player that Leonard is and what he brings. Um,

147
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: he's extremely good back. And I think when when you

148
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: know if he's not going to be available and you

149
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: go to t J and Corey, Um, you know, I

150
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: think they do a good job of picking up that slack.

151
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: And I think everybod Eels takes pride in the fact that,

152
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, if we're not going to have Lindard, we

153
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: gotta make sure we're on top of our game to

154
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: help about the backs. And suddenly if you're reading between

155
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: the lines there and if you have paid attention to

156
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: our show all week, especially on Tuesday when Jeff came in. Um,

157
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: if everybody is prepared, means if the offensive line plays better.

158
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: They didn't play very well last week. And it wasn't

159
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: just It wasn't just the left tackle who struggled with

160
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: a couple of penalties. Andrew Norwell gave up the sack.

161
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: He didn't he wasn't dominant at the point of attack.

162
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Linder was working his way back after missing most

163
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: of the preseason with the knee injury uh they had

164
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: and by the way, Jeremy Parnell is on the injury

165
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: report this week within knee, although he's practicing. That group

166
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: has to be dominant upfront. The The Patriots are good.

167
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: They don't have that absolute game record like the Jaguars

168
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: do with Marcel Dorius and Millie Jackson in the middle,

169
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: but they're good. The scheme is sound, they are incredibly

170
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: well coached. UH. Danny Sheldon, the former Cleveland Brown, is

171
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: a load in and the linebackers play their game very well.

172
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: They can stop the Jaguars from running the ball if

173
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offensive line is not playing well. But I

174
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: think if Andrew Norwell and Brandon Linder and a J

175
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: can are on their games inside, the Jaguars should be

176
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: able to run. With t J Yeldon and with Corey Grant.

177
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: For just for this conversation, I'm gonna say Leonard Fernet

178
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: doesn't play on Sunday, they still should be able to

179
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: run the ball. Based on what we saw from t

180
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: J in the preseason. He ran with power, and we

181
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: know that Corey can run inside the tackles. He did

182
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: it in the preseason. He's done it before, but they've

183
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: got to play better up front. I mean, you have

184
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: to give him a chance. And I know fans were

185
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: so excited to see more of Corey Grant this season.

186
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: If that's the case, wherefore net can't go, probably will

187
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: see more of Corey Grant, a lot more of well.

188
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: And you know, the Jaguars have had that two backpackage

189
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: that they would like to use. But in order to

190
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: do that, you have to have three healthy backs. You

191
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: can't just have to. You need to have three guys

192
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: so you can rotate them in if you go to

193
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: that two back can't have it. So in order for

194
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: the whole playbook to be open, you want to have

195
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: everybody healthy on Sunday. Agreed, That is the goal, all right,

196
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: big thing too is key stats. So we have some stats,

197
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: some numbers for you. John Osier brought up an interesting

198
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: one yesterday and that is to take care of the football,

199
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the turn of a battle. Some interesting

200
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: numbers here, Bryan. Well, when you look at at the

201
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Patriots win of the time, it seems like they of

202
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: the time. Anyway, the numbers are overwhelming when they win

203
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: the turnover battle, when they're plus one or greater. Um,

204
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: they lose fifty of the time. That's a winning percentage

205
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: when they lose the turnover battle. And obviously they're about

206
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: sixty seven in that range when they're even in the

207
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: turnover battle. So you've got to win this one on Sunday.

208
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: It's a key number. UM. I can remember Tom Coughlin

209
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: back in the old days when we did an actual

210
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: radio show together, UM where he said, seventy of the

211
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: time you win when your plus one. That was a

212
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: chart that he brought out. And when you're plus two

213
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: are better, it's a nine percent of the time. Plus

214
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: three or better is ninet three of the time you

215
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: win plus four plus five. And by the way, we

216
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: should point out the Browns where plus five last Sunday

217
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: and they tied. I mean, so that just through the

218
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: skewed the whole poll. It makes sense. If you take

219
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: a regulation NFL game, the average number of offensive possessions

220
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: is eleven, okay over time, over time it's eleven. If

221
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: you start taking two three possessions away in this league,

222
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: that's two or three scoring opportunities away. Absolutely is major.

223
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: So taking the bowl away is a key stat on Sunday.

224
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: The Jaguars did that last week, the tip ball by

225
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: every Jones pick six and I swear as and I

226
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: was standing right there on the sideline when Telvin came

227
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: over and he and Miles were having the conversation with

228
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Marcel and calais, okay, now we go score. And I

229
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: can remember thinking, I don't you don't hear a defense

230
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: saying now we go score right, now we go sack them.

231
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Now we go get the ball back in three plays,

232
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: we make them pawn. Now we go score and hold

233
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: them normal. Of course they did right. Eight defensive touchdowns,

234
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the most in the NFL since Opening Day last year.

235
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: They can do it. They've got to do it this week.

236
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: You have to take the bowl away from Tom Brady

237
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: and limit his exposure. Remember us all back here at

238
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: Cia bake Field, all saying, you know, I feel something coming.

239
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: I feel some sort of momentum they need to score here.

240
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: I think everyone felt that some kind of shifted momentum

241
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: need to happen, And then it happened. We talked about

242
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: how special this defense is. There are enough guys on

243
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: the field that can take that back right if that

244
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: bowl is anywhere near Miles Jack or Telvin or Dante

245
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: Fowler or Yanni and go or Hack. How about last

246
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: year in Arizona when Calais Campbell picked it up and

247
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: took it back in. So this is a team that

248
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: can dictate. Um, it's tough to dictate to Tom Brady.

249
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean just last year they took away Rob Gronkowski, Right,

250
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: he had a bad thumb. Member the story all week.

251
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: They have championship game and still and they had a

252
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: touch lead and they couldn't old him off. This team

253
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: needs to play nearly perfect and they need to force

254
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: him into bad situations, which means take the ball away

255
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: and go to that winning percentage. Let that number play

256
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: into your factor, give yourself a chance. One more stat

257
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: We talked about how good this defense is. The Patriots

258
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: are six and oh versus top five defenses since two

259
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: thousand and six. So we talked a week about how

260
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: good this defense is. Well, he rises, He rises to

261
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: the occasion, Tom Brady, He's the greatest quarterback of all

262
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: time because when the game is the biggest, right, he

263
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: comes through. Right now, not all waisually didn't win the

264
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year, right, but how about when they

265
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: were down three in the Super Bowl prior? Right, all

266
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: the way back. That's his d n A. This is

267
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: what the guy does the sixth round in two thousand.

268
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: That is a story. I think that a lot of

269
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: people forget. You don't hear that as much as you

270
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: would think you would. Sometimes the stars align and you

271
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: get lucky, You get lucky, and that's the way it

272
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: worked for them, all right. Big thing three is the

273
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: Pats rush. So the Giants didn't have much of a

274
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: pass rush last week, Boardles had some time. Now, when

275
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: you look at the Patriots roster, you don't see a

276
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: lot of names. You recognize a lot of big names

277
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: on that pass rush, but it hits on Shawn Watson.

278
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Twelve hits and three sacks on a mobile quarterback. That's

279
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 1: not easy. Now. Again, he's coming back from the A

280
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: c L so he probably doesn't want to hang in

281
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: the pocket very long now. And the Texans offensive line

282
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: is still not very good and they're now they're down

283
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: a left tackle who tour his or broke his ankle

284
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: in that ball game. But this is a team that

285
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: can get pressure on the quarterback. They have to. The

286
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars have to be able to establish the tempo on

287
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: the ground. On Sunday they must be able to run

288
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: the ball no matter who it is, and keep Blake

289
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: boardles facing third down and eight. If the Jaguars can

290
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: control the tempo, they can control this pass rush. But

291
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: if they can't, right there playing right into their hands.

292
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: And of course Bill Belichick is an x slent defensive mind.

293
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: You know they've got to be able to throw the

294
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: ball on Sunday because Belichick is going to force Blake

295
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: to throw it right. But if he can complete some passes,

296
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: short passes, law any pass complete some passes and lighten

297
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: them up, soften them up. Then you go to the

298
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: ground game. That's where you hope you have Leonard and

299
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: that's where you hope your offensive line steps up. Absolutely,

300
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: you are not going to see they don't have Chandler

301
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: Jones anymore. This is not J. J. Watt coming at you.

302
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: You hope you can win the one on one matchups.

303
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: You hope that your tackles, knees and all are healthy

304
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: enough to be able to be stout against these guys.

305
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: Uh down to high tower in the middle of that

306
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: defense is a very good player and a good pass

307
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: rusher two. So you need everybody to be on their game. Um,

308
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: they will bring pass rush towards you, and you must

309
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: be ready for it. You look at guys like Cam

310
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: Robinson and General who didn't have the game that we

311
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: all wanted him to have last week. This is the

312
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: time week to everyone needs to take a step forward.

313
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: And va Sack came up the middle, didn't come off

314
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: the edge right. Bortles is a guy that can get

315
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: to the outside. So the outside pressure right that comes

316
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: tries to keep him in the pocket. Um, they don't

317
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: necessarily have that middle rusher, although Danny Sheridan can be

318
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: a handful for anybody. This week, the Jaguars have to

319
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: protect the quarterback even though you wouldn't think, well, you're

320
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: not seeing the stud pass rusher. There is no von

321
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: Miller on this team, right, And if Tom Brady gets

322
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: out to a lead of some sword right and you're

323
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: trying to play comeback, well, that's when Belichick is at

324
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: his best. So I don't want to come back from

325
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: a lead. I don't want to do it. Well, you

326
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: do not want to fall behind. You want to set

327
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: the temple, which comes back to the running game, which

328
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: is the story. Our first big thing, Leonard's leg Again,

329
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: no update was working on the side yesterday, as Doug

330
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: said that he would, but don't try to interpret anything.

331
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: You won't see much. He will not be in view

332
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: of cameras when practice is open. And again that's not

333
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: playing a game with it. It's just holding onto the

334
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: information a little bit, not giving him. Don't interpret much,

335
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: but know everyone's well. And Doug stood there and said

336
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't play those games. And I don't believe that

337
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: he does. But Tom will Tom Will TC will make

338
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: sure that Leonard is off to the side, somewhere where

339
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: no one sees him. He is not about to give

340
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: up even the slightest shred of information anything that can

341
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: be put on camera that Bill Belichick can see. Nothing.

342
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe Doug is playing games. Doug is just

343
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna do what Doug does. But the people around the

344
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: seasoned NFL veterans, whether they be on the medical training

345
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: staff or the medical staff or the front office staff,

346
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: are going to make sure that the Patriots getting no advantages,

347
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: because the Patriots been known to take some advantages. I'm legal,

348
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm not. Hey, what can you do? You can make

349
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: sure you don't give him, don't give m anything at all.

350
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: All right, we are due for a break When we

351

Speaker 1: fun stuff, alright, go and miss out all right. We

389
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: now are joined by Meredith Gorman New England Patriots team

390
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: reporter Meredith. How's it going, Hi, guys, Thank you so

391
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: much for having me. Of course we're excited to talk

392
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: about you. So we've heard all week about the Patriots

393
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: and how successful they are and how intimidating they are.

394
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: What's it like working for a team that has that reputation?

395
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like, you know, everything around here

396
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: is exactly what you think from the outside. You know,

397
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: it's starts with the top. You know, everything I would

398
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: say is just exactly how the players portray things to

399
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: the media. If that makes sense. Um, you know, it's

400
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: basically it's a great place to work. Um. But at

401
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, it's it's all business.

402
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: And I think when the guys come in here, you know,

403
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: if they're from an outside team, they quickly learned that,

404
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: and then the guys who play on this team they're

405
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: used to it. I would say that the interesting thought

406
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: here from a lot of people is you have a

407
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: star who transcends the game in so many aspects, and really,

408
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: there are only a handful of players in my twenty

409
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: five years covering this league, a handful of players in

410
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: any franchise that have what Tom Brady has, who brings

411
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: the sort of aura that he brings. From your perspective,

412
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: what what's it like covering Tom Brady? How easy is

413
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: he to deal with? It's amazing being able to be

414
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: here during this era. You know, Um, I think that

415
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: Tom is really humble. He's really really nice. Um. You know,

416
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: the same thing for Coach Belichick to people kind of

417
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: get an outside of view of the two of them

418
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: is being kind of reserved, you know, kind of shy

419
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: away from the media. But they're both I mean, they

420
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: are both really nice people. And Tom is just so humble,

421
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: and the guys in that locker room just cannot say

422
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: enough good things about him. I'm mean, when you guys

423
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: come onto the team, I think a lot of them

424
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: are a little surprised. You know, Tom Brady, He's a

425
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: lot nicer than they even could have imagined. Do you

426
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: think people realize and I'm not talking about people in

427
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: the organization now, talk to people outside the organization. With

428
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: a forty one year old quarterback who is clearly the

429
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: greatest of all time, the window is closing to some degree.

430
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the Tom Brady era is closer obviously to

431
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: the end. Do you think people appreciate him for everything

432
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: that he brings to the table, or will it not

433
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: be until he's gone that they'll have enough perspective on

434
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's career to really understand what they watched those years.

435
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think that Patriots fans fully appreciate Tom Brady.

436
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: But at the same time, people don't truly appreciate things,

437
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: just in human nature until they look back on things. Um.

438
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: But you know, it's interesting, and you say that because

439
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, I know that Brady basically. I mean, you know,

440
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: there is all the contra are seeing the off season

441
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: and stuff, but when you look at what Brady has

442
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: done for this organization, it's truly incredible. And I know

443
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: that we talked to some of the guys in the

444
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: locker room just from an internal perspective last week. You know,

445
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: can you believe that Brady's playing at the level that

446
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: he's playing at forty one years old? And the guys

447
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: are like, actually, yeah, we can, because when you see

448
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: him going in the preparation and the work that he

449
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: put in, it's no surprise that he's playing at the

450
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: level that he's playing at at his age. Well, and

451
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I asked the question. We were

452
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: there last summer for the joint practices. I saw kids

453
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: who were a mid teens, you know, fifteen sixteen, and

454
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: all they ever knew from their franchise was greatness, was

455
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: winning ten or more, you know, wins this season for

456
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: fifteen straight years, five super Bowls in their lifetime. And

457
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: we know Detroit Lions fans, for instance, or Cleveland Browns

458
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: fans Jaguars fans who have never even seen Super Bowl,

459
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: let alone one five of them. The level at which

460
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: they've played is so high, and all I thought was, boy,

461
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: these kids are in for a huge crash when he retires,

462
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: because there's you get that twice. You know, you don't

463
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: get it twice, you get that that's once in your

464
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: franchise's history that something like that comes along. Absolutely, and

465
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: I think, you know, just being in the organization at

466
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: this time, sometimes you do have to take a step

467
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: back and kind of pinch yourself and say, hey, you

468
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: know you're covering this team at a really historical time.

469
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll never probably see something like this again

470
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: in my career. You won't, I promise you, if you

471
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: if you are working to a hundred, you will never

472
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: see that again in the career. If that's how special,

473
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: it is pretty cool. Now, Rob Rob Bronkowski seems to

474
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: have an extremely goofy personality, at least when we see

475
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: him in front of the media. What's he like behind

476
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: the ropes in the locker room? Um, I would say

477
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: he's still pretty much a goofy person with Robert, you know,

478
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: it seems like he's exactly what meets the I. Um,

479
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: he is silly, obviously, you can be serious when he

480
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: needs to be. And when it comes to like more

481
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: serious topics, um, you will see a serious side of him. Uh.

482
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: He definitely is just as goofy and and fun as

483
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: what he shows to the media. He's pretty Yeah, he's

484
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: pretty much what what meets that, you know, and that's

485
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: it's a great word to describe him. I don't think

486
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: it does enough justice for him. The story on him

487
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: Meredith has been that he hasn't spent a penny of

488
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: his money. All he's done is spend the endorsement money,

489
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: not his contract money. Uh. In a game that that

490
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: is absolutely the minority of players. I mean, he really

491
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: stands out. And you know, the thought on Gronkowski is

492
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: is that every week for most of his career, it's

493
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: been is he playing or is he not? But he

494
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: seems like he's healthy now and not a guy that

495
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: you're really worried about up there. Absolutely. I mean, I

496
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: think during the pre season the Patriots just wanted to

497
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: be extra cautious with him. But I know that, you know,

498
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: he he is fully healthy right now. You know, he

499
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: said he's feeling like he's a hundred percent. You saw

500
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: him last week. He looked great out there. I think

501
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: the key is just keeping him healthy. And obviously the

502
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to have to rely on him a lot,

503
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: especially you know, the first four games of the season

504
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: with Julian Edelman out for you know, this month. But

505
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I think he is fully

506
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: healthy and I just gotta keep them that way. Do

507
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots have big games in the regular season. I mean,

508
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: for a team whose expectation every year is to play

509
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: in February, can week to be a big game for

510
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Oh? Absolutely. And I don't

511
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: think anybody within that team right now is downplaying you know,

512
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: just how big coming going to Jacksonville and playing playing

513
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: you guys. I think this is one of the biggest

514
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: games on our regular season schedule, and when you think

515
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: about it, you know it's an a f C Championship

516
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: rematch Patriots heading down to Jacksonville. You know, the fans

517
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: are obviously going to bring a lot of energy. Um,

518
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: you could say maybe thoughts of hey, are the Jaguars

519
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: out for revenge? You know? I mean, I think this

520
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: is a huge game, and by the looks of it,

521
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense has only gotten better from last season,

522
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: so I think the Patriots will definitely have their hands

523
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: full looking forward to Sunday. What's the reputation of the

524
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars like up in New England. We've heard all along

525
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: about what we think the Jaguars are and what we

526
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: think the New England Patriots are down here. But what

527
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: are they saying up there? You know, people are saying

528
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: they're tough, great defense, well coached. Obviously there's now a

529
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: little bit of talk about the trash talking because of

530
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Dalen Ramsey. But I would say, yeah, the three things,

531
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, tough, well coached, and it's gonna be hard

532
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: to beat. That's what we like to hear. All right, Meredith,

533
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. I'm sure we'll see

Speaker 1: Mercedes of Orange Park and of Jacksonville, proud members of

559
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: the Fields Automotive Group. All right, let's take a look

560
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: at the a f C South. It's pretty cut and dried, right,

561
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: the Jaguars all alone in first place. It's only one weekend, uh,

562
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: But injuries in Miami and well in Tennessee and in

563
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: Houston this week, and the Colts hopefully getting someone back.

564
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: So let's take a look at your a FC South

565
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: headlines as we get started on Thursday. The Texans lose

566
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: another starter. Cornerback Kevin Johnson, a former first round pick

567
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: who has struggled a bit with injuries over the course

568
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: of his career, suffered a concussion last week in New England.

569
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: They thought he would be down a few weeks. It

570
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: was a serious concussion, and then we learned that he

571
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: has now had two concussions in the last month, and

572
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: so he's down on injured reserve for at least eight weeks,

573
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: designated to return, but we'll see he's got a long

574
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: road ahead of him. And that's a defense that was

575
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: decimated by injury last year. Recall that they lost J. J.

576
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: Watt and Whitney Merciless. They were really playing shorthanded. Their

577
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: middle linebacker Brian Cushing, was out for a big chunk

578
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: of last year as well, so they're not starting on

579
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: a good foot. And by the way, it's the second

580
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: started they lost for for the injured reserved list, although

581
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: he's designated a return. Seantral Henderson there starting left tackle

582
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: done as well with a fractured ankle, which I mentioned

583
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: as well. So Houston starting up kind of the same

584
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: way they did last year when injuries absolutely and players

585
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: still coming back from injury. J. J. Watt, Whitney Merciless,

586
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson all coming back off of a long layoff,

587
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: and so we'll wait and see how long it takes

588
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: them to get back in mid season form. All right

589
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: on to Tennessee, where you have Marcus Mariotta, who apparently

590
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: still has some tingling in his passing hand. Remember that

591
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: he had the elbow shoulder injury last week in Miami,

592
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: went back in the game after that long delay and

593
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: through two interceptions. So they're gonna be really cautious at

594
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: these their franchise quarterback Ashland, but also they're going to

595
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: be cautious with him because they need to have him

596
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: performing at a high level. Um So we'll see still tingling,

597
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: but they're hopeful he can play against the Texans, that's

598
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: their home opener this week. Yeah, if you have tingling

599
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: and you're throwing interceptions, I have a feeling they're not

600
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: gonna want to raise that absolutely. But he practiced to

601
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: a degree yesterday. We'll see what he does. And finally,

602
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: did you hear Andrew. Look, he said that playing on

603
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: Sundays is like a car wreck, which is a very

604
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: apt way to describe it. It's a scheduled car wreck, right,

605
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: and he's right. This week, it appears that he'll have

606
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: one of his air bags. Left tackle Anthony Costanzo, who

607
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: did not play last week because of a hamstring injury,

608
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: is scheduled to return this week. So for a guy

609
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: who thought he played pretty well and got through the

610
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: game relatively unscathed. Andrew luck should have his big air

611
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: bag on the left side there to cushion it. I

612
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: like that analogy. Yeah, you don't want necessarily be called

613
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: a bag of hot air. I know I've called that before,

614
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: But air bag in a in the right context, not

615
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: too bad. A planned car attack, car correck, correct car accident.

616
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: All right? How about NFL headlines? A couple of news

617
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: and notes from around the National Football League as we

618
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: get set to start a week to tonight with the Ravens,

619
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: and the Ravens do here this. Mike Zimmer yesterday said

620
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: that he expects Aaron Rodgers to play on Sunday, and quote,

621
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: what you know that guy he walks on water. Yeah,

622
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: with the intensity that we saw in that postgame interview

623
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: an all week. If he can go, he's gonna go.

624
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: But his knee was sore, and he didn't go yesterday

625
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: on the midfield, which is interesting. He didn't go in

626
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: the practice. Now, running back is a position where you

627
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: cannot practice and probably play quarterback wouldn't seem to be that.

628
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers thirty four, been around the game now

629
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: long enough he might be able to get away with it.

630
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: Practicing on Friday alone. That's one to follow, he said

631
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: immediately after the game which you referred to. He would

632
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: play Sunday. But he's been in that system so long.

633
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the few that could pull

634
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: off a quarterback knock practicing. But god, it does walk on.

635
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: We'll find out, Aaron Rodgers, We'll find out. How about

636
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: this one? The Quarterback Club for quarterbacks under six ft

637
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: was started by Drew Brees yesterday, who has thrown for

638
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: seventy eight hundred and eighty four passing yards in his career.

639
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: I think seventy four. He said Baker Mayfield could be

640
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: better than him. Wow, so that's for at least seventy

641
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: eighty five of right, those are big shoes to fill.

642
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: And you know, I hadn't thought about it, but in

643
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: watching Baker Mayfield at Oklahoma, and I'm excited to see

644
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: the kid developed. Whenever he does get into the lineup

645
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, he does have a little breeze to him,

646
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: which is high praise because Drew Brees has that cannon

647
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: for an arm and the uncanny timing to get rid

648
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: of the ball to the right guy at the right time,

649
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: and just I think the biggest thing about Baker Mayfield.

650
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 1: The will to win man. He just finds a way

651
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: to win. If you watched Hard Knocks, you fell in

652
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: love with just the love of the game he has.

653
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Oh it's good stuff. It makes Baker Mayfield. Just you're

654
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: a fan of him, you can't not help but be

655
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: after Hard Knocks, so you should watch it, all right.

656
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: Let's wrap up NFL headlines with this um. Joey Bosa,

657
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushers in football, suffered a

658
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: bone bruise on his foot about a month ago, thought

659
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: it was healed, and last week, working out in individual

660
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 1: drills is the Chargers were preparing for Kansas City, suffered

661
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: another bruise on his foot. It was confirmed to be

662
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: a bone bruise. He's out for a week two and

663
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: the thought is he might be out longer than that.

664
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: Not season ending, not injured reserve, designated return, but he

665
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: might be out for a few weeks with that bone bruise.

666
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: I have heard bone bruises I had won myself. I'm

667
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: not an athlete, but it was most annoying injury ever.

668
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: It's just there's nothing you can do about it. You

669
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: just sit there and let it heal. And I can

670
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: imagine for an NFL athlete who wants to play just

671
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: sit there. Well, and for the Chargers in particular, who

672
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: have had such a run of injuries on the defensive

673
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: side of the football over the last two years. Uh,

674
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: not having him the pressure upfront that they have with

675
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: those two edge rushers, not having him puts a lot

676
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: of pressure on the other guy, A lot of pressure

677
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: on the other guy, and a lot of pressure on

678
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: the head coach out there, Anthony Lynn to get that

679
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: thing turned around. Because many people believe that the Charger's

680
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: roster is as talented as you'll find in the a

681
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 1: f C West and should be competing for the division title.

682
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: But they're already in the hold nowt good for them. Uh,

683
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: they get Josh Allen this week, the rookie quarterback and

684
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill's team didn't look so great. You come on,

685
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: don't be nice. What did you see from the Bills?

686
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: Let it out, Ashlyn, come on, not very much. I

687
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: didn't see the Bills we saw here last year. Yeah, yeah,

688
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: they're not very good. And a rookie quarterback going out

689
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: there to the West Coast and playing in l a um.

690
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see what they get done. All right,

691
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. When we come back, we anticipate

692
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: Marcus Pollard joining us. For it's not Ashlyn asks what

725
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: dot Com slash Game Day has you ready for the

726
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Patriots in a game that's just bigger

727
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: regular season game. And again we you know, we say

728
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: that Ashland big regular season game. And then we're in

729
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: the locker room asking, Yeah, but if you don't win,

730
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: if you come out one and one, does it crush you?

731
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean does it does it hurt you? Not really?

732
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: I mean maybe in the tiebreakers when we get towards

733
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: the end of the season. So we build this up

734
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: because in the stadium, it's a huge game on the field,

735
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: it's week two, Game two, go play as well as

736
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: you can go play to win. But if you don't win,

737
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: it's not like you're going fifteen and one, you know

738
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: what I mean. You got some losses on your schedule

739
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: in this game. Um, only only the nineteen seventy to

740
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and the the only team that finished with

741
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl title and defeated. But the New England

742
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: Patriots had that sixteen game, sixteen and no season in

743
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. So look for that. Look for

744
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: this to be a big environment. Marcus Poller joined us.

751
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: to end at the stadium, which is exactly what they're

752
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,520

760
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,560

Speaker 1: he just won. Because he's our guest. I'm not gonna lie,

762
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: but we had to give it to him. He's our guest.

763
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: We had to be polite. John was having a fit.

764
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: Well are you a guest? If you're here again this week,

765
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: I think you're now a regular. Now let's go all right,

766
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: let's do this thing, Marcus. Let's do this all right?

767
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: Who said it? Number one? Now? Do you remember the rules?

768
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Do I have to go over them again? I just

769
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: run through the real quick alright, So I'm going to

770
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: read something on social media. Could be Twitter, could be Instagram,

771
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: could be something they said in the locker room. We're

772
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: expanding now we got the locker room. Yeah, you're really

773
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to start paying attention now. So a player

774
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars ball sir said something. You're going to

775
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: have to guess who said that quote? Now. The first

776
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: one is this who can dread hair in Jacksonville. We've

777
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: seen it many times the past few weeks. This guy

778
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: really needs a hair do. He's tweeted it a lot.

779
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: It's been a major talking point that social media department.

780
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. You didn't see It's a wild guess.

781
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: It's a wild guest. I'm just guessing, basing on on

782
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: what I saw from him as he walked in your

783
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: city morning. I see why you would guess that I

784
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: was right right. He had the hair up yesterday he did,

785
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: and he had his hair braided on Sunday and last

786
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: week when he met the media. So I it's not

787
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: a problem that I would know anything to the guy

788
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: who the answer is, See why you would say that?

789
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: And Peter, did you make a guess? No, same guess,

790
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: not far off. He is a guy with a lot

791
00:40:51,160 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: of hairstyles. But it is it is Austin Safari and Jenkins, right, Bro.

792
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: He had the same thing going last week too. Yeah,

793
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: he had the dreads, the braids with what we call

794
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: him on what do you call him? Marcus? I called

795
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: him braids because right now he's rocking corn rolls, all right,

796
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: but he had that frog big he can pull it off.

797
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: He can. He's a big guy. En. So I see,

798
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: that's a good guess for both of you. But I

799
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: gotta be more attention to social Okay, Now this is

800
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: about the one and only Rob Gronkowski. Someone said this

801
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: this week either stop him or see all the crazy

802
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: dancing that he does. What do you call that? Dancing arms?

803
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: It's like those two things shot in front of car

804
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: dealerships that they blow up with area. Oh, that's a

805
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: good way to call it. Okay, So who said that?

806
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: Who said that? Wouldn't be somebody on the defensive side.

807
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: It would all right, let's see it, Brian, you first,

808
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: highly close but no story of my life, well with

809
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: close to but no hold on, hold on. Yes, you

810
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: should have guessed because he was speaking to the media yesterday. Yeah. Oh,

811
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: his press conferences have become a site to see lately. Well,

812
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: he was walking down the hallway instructing someone on the

813
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: proper way to cook crab yesterday, snow crab, king crab,

814
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. He was he was. He was offering

815
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 1: his preference for king crab legs. But he was offering

816
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: a recipe to Savannah she was walking down the hallway

817
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: after the press conference. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, maybe

818
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: he has an affinity for it and he's learned how

819
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: to cook. I have heard he likes to cook, and

820
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: I've already liked seafood. He was telling. I wanted to

821
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: keep walking down the hallway with him because I wanted

822
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: to hear the rest of it, but I had to

823
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: get onto the field. So he was telling us that

824
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: Safe Harbor is his favorite restaurant. Here have you been

825
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: to Save Harbor? Have been recently? Right out there in

826
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: mayport By? There's a Safe Harbor on. Look at all

827
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: the advertising we're giving them right here on the show.

828
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Another ways, bring breakfast for Marcus and Ashlyn and will

829
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: taste tested gladly? What else you got? All? Right? Last one?

830
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: This should be a pretty easy one. If you love

831
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: what you do, is it really work? Someone who loves

832
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 1: the game more than most, more than most. You're throwing

833
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: me off. I would say he loves the game almost

834
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: the most on this roster. Frustrating that can only be

835
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: one guy. You ready, it can only be one guy.

836
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: Go ahead, mp D D the man himself. Change it

837
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: even wasn't before? Well, because you talked to Dante earlier

838
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: this week, I thought he was happy to be back.

839
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: You're really like waking into I thought, well, then she

840
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: said loves the game more than anyone else, and I went, no,

841
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,479
Speaker 1: that can only be Chlais. So I did. I changed

842
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: it before I saw yours. You know what? Dante didn't

843
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: mention though, how much he loves the game of football.

844
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: I heard it, and listening to your interview with him,

845
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: I heard how much he missed the game last week

846
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: and how excited most Well, that that was the clue.

847
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: That was That was it when you said that about okay,

848
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: and maybe Dante loves it, but nobody expresses it better

849
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: than he does at this point in his career. You know,

850
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: just a little perspective, Um, well, how old were you

851
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: when you retired? That's a great question. Thirty? All right,

852
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: let me let me attack it from a different perspective.

853
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: He's thirty one years old, he's been playing the game

854
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: now eleven years. He loves it, maybe more than he

855
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: ever has. Everything about it, he said, the preparation, you know,

856
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: the trip, playing at home, all of it. Um and

857
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: last week Jeff Logman told us on Tuesday, he's as

858
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: well as he did last year. You don't necessarily find

859
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: guys and you were eleven that are playing as well

860
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: as they did in year five, let alone your town. Yeah,

861
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: he do you marvel at him? I do? I do

862
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: because I watched him during training camp. He's not asking

863
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: for days off. He's out there grinding it, running sprints

864
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: with Milo and the sun condition stuff and not asking

865
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: asking for any days off. He's never like he was

866
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: hurt and he was on a bike and he was

867
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: like he was last I'm strong out there, and so

868
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: the You marvel at a guy that's so big and

869
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: has been beat on so long and still loves the

870
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: game so much that he still was grinding at it

871
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: and working hard as a piece of rookie. I'm liable

872
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: to make someone mad with the statement, but rarely is

873
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: a free agent worth the money that you pay. Right,

874
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: there's that old adage you're just gonna overpay in the

875
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: marketplace to get the guy that you want. And in Jacksonville,

876
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: we've seen over the years, we've seen you guys come

877
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: through here. And you know, because you were playing for

878
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: the Colts. Again some of the guys, uh that we

879
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: had come through here. Um god, why can't I think

880
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: of his name? Logs yelled across the room, the pass

881
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: rusher that came from Philadelphia, Hugh Douglas. I couldn't Hugh Douglas.

882
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they paid Hugh Douglas. He rolled up

883
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: in his Ferrari and gave him nothing. Anyway, Anyway, he's

884
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: worth every penny, not just for what he's done on

885
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: the field where he that alone is worth it, but

886
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: what he means to that locker room in the way

887
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: that he is an ambassador for not only your football program,

888
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: but your franchise. He's worth seventeen million and one dollar.

889
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: He's worth one more dollar than you pay. And I

890
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: can't you got some guys in there, Bellie Jackson and

891
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: and um uh a j I mean, those guys are

892
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: worth their money. I'm not taking anything away, but and

893
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: they're they're worth their money. But that guy is at

894
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: a different level than maybe any free agent I've ever

895
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: seen at any stop except the guy who started free agency,

896
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 1: Reggie White. This guy has a chance to be as impactful,

897
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: especially if this team win the Super Bowl as Reggie

898
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: White was and he was the first free agent. He

899
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: told us. Clay has told us the other day that

900
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: he still practices right when he started his career. He

901
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: still does it. That he'll go for around doors, around

902
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: trash cans and practice pass rush. Oh he does it?

903
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: See him do it? D What are you doing? Working on? Working,

904
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: working on? He's the best and he never seems to start.

905
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he cracked up. He'll do he'll do coming

906
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 1: around me sometimes. Okay, you're working on your craft, broeah exactly.

907
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: Try trying not to get the side of my head

908
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: that I don't need any of that. Thursday night football

909
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: thought on how difficult it is. It's not as difficult

910
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: in week two as it probably is in week seven

911
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: or week eight. But how do those guys get ready?

912
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you get turned around in just

913
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: a few days? And I don't talk to the metal sun,

914
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: not totally physical. What would you do to be ready

915
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: to play on Thursday night after playing on Sunday? I

916
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: think it starts up top with the with the coach.

917
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: He has to have some sort of idea, what kind

918
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: of shape his teams in, what kind of torture they've

919
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: probably taken on Sunday, and you gotta give some time

920
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: where they just recover. Practices are a lot short, a

921
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: lot of hat, hat wearing practices. You do not put

922
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: on pads at all night, even the Spiders. You do

923
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: a lot of walk through its just to give guys

924
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: some time to recover, because you do take a pounding

925
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: on Sunday, says you guys know, uh So to me,

926
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: that'll be the first and foremost, just to make sure.

927
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of hat wearing practices. Hats on backwards

928
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: and you just call him hat practices and you kind

929
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: of just walk through things that you would need to

930
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: get ready for on Thursday. So tonight the Ravens play

931
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and we've got a new segment on the

932
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: show called MP pays Right. Who would Marcus Pollard pay

933
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: to watch play tonight? Who in the game this evening

934
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: is worth your time? You're not going to pay, obviously,

935
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: but you turn the TV on because you want to

936
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: see this guy play. I think I want to see

937
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: um a tight end from South Carolina hating her local

938
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: guys play tight end. I'm kind of interesting seeing what

939
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: he can bring to the table. Did you see him

940
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: when he came through, because I know we probably visited

941
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: visited with him. A great guy. We had a great,

942
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: great conversation. We talked tight end quite a bit, talked

943
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: about you know, what he means is community and what

944
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna do when he comes back. Uh. So I'm

945
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: excited to see what he can do. Also, Lamar Jackson, Yeah,

946
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: you guys, he got a couple of snaps last week,

947
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna be a seven and three this time,

948
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens. But I like to see Hayden,

949
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: see what he does. You know, I was interested to

950
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: watch A J. Green uh last week to see how

951
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: because he just was off last year and I got

952
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: a I get the Ramsey thing from last year, but

953
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: A J. Green was one of those guys I always

954
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching because he's such a different receiver. He's so long,

955
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: so tall, so fast. His timing was always perfect. I'm

956
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: looking forward to the night's game and last year when

957
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bengals played Week two this year.

958
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 1: I'm excited to say another guy I'm interested in this thrill.

959
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: Sus been around such a long time and playing at

960
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: a high level, and it was a lot like Chliss.

961
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: Canny still get it done at this point in his career,

962
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: and I think he's a first Battle Hall of Fame

963
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: when it comes down. Yeah, you know, And he's a

964
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: guy I used as an example. The Jaguars had a

965
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: chance to draft him and they didn't, you know, and

966
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: they drafted somebody who I love, Byron Leftwich, but who

967
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: didn't play very long. And he to me, he's an

968
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: example I always use of. In two thousand three, they

969
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: passed on Sugs. In two thousand four, they passed on

970
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: Wrothless Burger. In two thousand five, they passed on Rogers. Right, Well,

971
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: when you pass on those types of players, you generally suffer,

972
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: and they did for a while, right, And so now

973
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: you look at these drafts, and you look at the

974
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: way they didn't pass on on Jalen Ramsey, and they

975
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: didn't pass a Uni Can got away, they didn't pass

976
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: on some of these guys Leonard for Net, and so yeah,

977
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: when you bring up Sugs, they go, oh yeah, it

978
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: was very play Seattle and the first thing they said,

979
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: you guys gave up picking the punter Brian Inger. Yeah,

980
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: and we could have drafted Russell's Wilson. Yeah. That one's

981
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: never really gone away either. Yeah, exactly. All right, m

982
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: p pas and this week you're paying to watch the

983
