Doug Marone 34 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: earlier this week was asked about the guys who stepped 35 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: into those injured roles, especially on the offensive line, and 36 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: how much of a challenge that has been up front. 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: I think the guys that have been I've been playing, 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: that have been here before you know, take take a 39 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: role in that um. So that's that that's been good 40 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: as far as the players that have been going in 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: you know, going in there, they're so focused on, you know, 42 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,559 Speaker 1: working hard and trying to do the right thing, um 43 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, and just getting ready for play and excited 44 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: about the opportunity because obviously a lot of a lot 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: of players, especially on that side of the ball, wouldn't 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: have this opportunity. So it's an opportunity for them to show, 47 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, go out there and show what they can do. 48 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: And you know, it's a it's a challenge, you know, 49 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: it's it's a big challenge this week. I mean, Tennessee's 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, has an excellent defense. UM front seven's outstanding, 51 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: big strong, powerful winebackers, downhill hit secondary play as well. 52 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna have to do a good job 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: up front. It would be a great challenge for those guys. 54 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: But on the old line, you have a lot of 55 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: familiar names on that defense whine we'll get to those 56 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: coming up with Paul Kaharsky of the Titans beat. But 57 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: here you have a look at what has happened on 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: the offensive line this year for the Jaguars. You know, 59 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: what's happened at left tackle or on the fourth left 60 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: tackle the season this year. Partnell was out of the 61 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: game some last week, came back in. He's available for 62 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: this week. That's a good news. But it has been 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: a mass unit upfront for this Jaguars football team in eighteen. 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: Quarterback Cody Kessler getting a second start with the Jaguars 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: on Thursday night, the tenth in his career. He's getting 66 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: a new weapon in the backfield with him in running 67 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: back Leonard Fournette this week, in my opinion, one of 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: the best running backs the NFL. Um you know, and 69 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: having him it was with Carlos and TJ back there. Um, 70 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, it makes my life alot easier. So it's 71 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna be exciting. Obviously don't play with Lenard yet, um, 72 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: so we'll be out there on the field with him. 73 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Is gonna be exciting and you know side watching go. 74 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: You know what happened in Buffalo for the Leonard Fournette. 75 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: He was ejected from that football game after fighting against 76 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. He had a great half, that's the 77 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: good the good thing about it. He was playing very 78 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: well in that game in Buffalo and then came across 79 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: the field, got into the fisticuffs, was ejected from the 80 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: game and then suspended by the NFL. He was back, 81 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: he spoke in the locker room this week. He's got 82 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: a little extra rest actually going into this short week 83 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: on Thursday night football. That's the good news. Hopefully we'll 84 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: pay off of this Jags team. They need a big 85 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: win on a Thursday night on the road, a place 86 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: they have not won on the road since.

And there's 103 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: not much of a bigger stadium show than the Rolling Stones, 104 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: the greatest rock and roll band in the world. Yeah, 105 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at who were up against 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: right now is to the twelve biggest cities in the country, 107 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: the number one grossing rock and roll band in the 108 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: world coming here in our backyard. And and you mentioned 109 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: this is really the next step in a journey that 110 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: started a couple of years ago with our commitment to 111 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: bring live entertainment to downtown, specifically music content. Daily's Place 112 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: was a big part of that, and as we established 113 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: our reputation, UH, the industry started to look at us 114 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: as leaders in the music space. And that next step 115 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: was something that happened back in UH Labor Day weekend 116 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: with the Leonard Skinner Jason L. Dean Kid Rock Show, 117 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: where we really showed the industry how well we can perform. 118 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: And then it doesn't get any bigger than the Rolling Stones. 119 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: Let's let's go back to that Skinners show though, I mean, 120 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: that was that was an all day affair. Obviously, how 121 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: was the result? What was the bottom line? How did 122 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: it look? For the from the Jaguars and a Bold 123 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: Events perspective. Well, number one was the second largest show 124 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: that Skinner has ever done in their what forty year 125 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: in their career right, and so we knew we represented 126 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: Jacksonville well by having a full house forty four thousand 127 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: plus people there. But that was an idea in a 128 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: concept we came up with, and we had to go 129 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: out and prove to the industry that what Jacksonville may 130 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: lack in size of the market comparable comparable to some 131 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: of the others, we gain in passion, we gain in 132 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: the way we mobilize, and we gain in first class 133 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: artist experience. And those artists came here, they had an 134 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: awesome time. They started talking and started talking about Jacksonville. 135 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: And then here we are book in the next, uh, 136 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: next big act in that journey. Yeah, the Rolling Stones 137 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: coming up in April. Of course, Ticketmaster tickets around sale. Now, 138 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: the last time The Stones were in Jacksonville was I 139 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: think I was eight years old. It was nine. I 140 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: mean that that don't they don't come around here every day? 141 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: How did you guys land the Stone, All right, well 142 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: thirty years ago, you're right. And the initial conversation when 143 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: this started, and we had some strategic relationships with partners 144 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: that help get us a seat at the table right are. 145 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Our line is give us a puncher's chance. And we 146 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: got out there and we started talking with Stones Management 147 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: and we said, listen, there's solutions. Whatever challenge you have, 148 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: whatever challenge you think Jacksonville brings the table, let us 149 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: take that challenge on. Let's take the risk away from you. 150 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: Let's let us go out there and execute on this. 151 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: So we put a very aggressive offer in front of 152 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: them that offers aggressive financially, it's aggressive from the marketing 153 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: deliverables will do, from the artist experience, will give them. 154 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: And they came back and said, you know, we we 155 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: weren't interested in Jacksonville at all, but what you put 156 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: in front of us is so compelling that we're going 157 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: to take it to the band and see what they say. 158 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: And about two weeks later we got a call and said, 159 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: how do you think a looks because we're coming to Jacksonville. 160 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: It looks good? Was the answer there. That's pretty impressive, 161 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: it really is. But that's the thing that you invest 162 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: in it and it's not your it's not part of 163 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the regular Stones tour. You guys had to make the 164 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: offer and make that part of the Stones tour. So 165 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: in promotion, like you said, the Jaguars have the big 166 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: hand in that, right. Yeah, Yeah, there's there's a lot 167 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: of risk for us in this case, right, but we 168 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: know and we believe that that risk has high reward 169 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: new fans coming to our stadium. And what was really 170 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: important to us JP was when you look at where 171 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: else they're playing. The closest venue north of US is Washington, 172 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: d C. And the closest venue west is Houston. So 173 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna be a regional market. I've already looked at 174 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: the ticket buyers, obviously Atlanta, the Carolinas. We have forty 175 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: eight states so far that have purchased tickets. So all 176 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden, all these people are coming down on 177 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and giving us great exposure like letting our stadium 178 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: showcase some of the beautiful investments we've made. And that's 179 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: why we would take that risk, because we know more 180 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: fans that come into the stadium potentially become Jaguar fans, 181 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: potentially come back to Daily's place, potentially helped downtown Jacksonville, 182 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: and that was worth it for us. You got different 183 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: things to offer those fans while they're here as well, 184 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: bar real seating or the terrace suite or the clubs. 185 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: There's so many different areas to enjoy a concert here. Yeah, 186 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: we're we're, as we know, one of the best fan 187 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: experiences live for football. And that transfers over to the 188 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: music industry, right, and it's it's about the fans and 189 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: it's about the artists. And if our fans and artists 190 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: come to this building and walk away happy financially, everything 191 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: else falls into place, right and the next step falls 192 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: in place. So um, it's fun to have venues across 193 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: the country calling us going, how the heck did you 194 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: guys get the Rolling Stones? We tried, we couldn't. What 195 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: did you do right? And my answer is sorry, can't 196 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: tell you. Tune in for the next one, that's right, 197 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: you come seeing it in person if you want tickets 198 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: on sale? Now, how have sales gone the first week 199 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: or so? So? So we're thrilled with where we are today. Right. 200 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: We knew that we'd have to really work this for 201 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, get the other markets to understand 202 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: what's left here in Jacksonville. So we do have seats 203 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: available still, um, not many, but we have sold very well. 204 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: I think over the next two weeks as we really 205 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: market the rest of the state of Florida, the rest 206 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: of Georgia and the Carolinas um, that should fill out 207 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: right now. But uh, I think if I recall last time, 208 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: we had about eight thousand seats left, that's not many 209 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: really in the grand scheme of things. That we're selling 210 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: thousands a day right now, so it could be, you know, 211 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: could be just a couple more days. Favorite Stones song 212 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: go um. You know. I I've just had this debate 213 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: a few different times. I don't put you on the spot. 214 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: I think that you can't always get what you want. 215 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: I tell our staff that all the time. We've got 216 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: to keep grinding it. And I think I've got to 217 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: stick with it. I like that tumbling dice for me. 218 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just like the song. I 219 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: don't have really a reason behind it, but it's fun. 220 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: Coming up April.

It's you know, 281 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: the practices are different. Um, there's more emphasis obviously on 282 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: the mental part. Of it, you know, than the physical part. 283 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: Head coach Jack Marone speaking about the short week the 284 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars playing on Thursday Night Football tomorrow night against the 285 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the 286 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group. JP shatterck with you. The team is 287 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: in the air, currently headed to Nashville, Tennessee. We go 288 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: to the phone lines and welcome in the creator of 289 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk, host of p f T Live on 290 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: the NBC Sports Network, Mike Florio with us. Good to 291 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: talk to you. Mike, How are you jing great, buddy? 292 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: How are you doing well? Well? Four and eight. I 293 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: don't know if that's well, but um, you know, snapped 294 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: to seven game losing skid last week, so better than 295 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: it could be, I guess, Mike, yeah, and you know, 296 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: the last week's game. Just to reminder that the talent 297 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: gap in the NFL not early as big as it 298 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: used to be. And we get locked into our narratives 299 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: about the good teams and the bad team. But even 300 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: the very worst team in the NFL, and obviously the 301 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars are far far from that, but even the worst 302 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: team can be the best team if it all lines 303 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: up just right. And lined up just right the Jaguars 304 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday an again with Sunday as they say, is 305 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: this just looking around to other teams in the league, Mike, 306 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: as you do. Um, this team had so much energy 307 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: and so much momentum heading into the season. They've just 308 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: been to the FC title Game in five minutes away 309 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: from the super Bowl, and now the four and eight. 310 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: Where does this rank among disappointing campaigns in terms of 311 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: the the build up to it. It's gotta be up well, 312 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: it's got Yeah, It's one of the most disappointing that 313 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: I can remember in recent years, just because this is 314 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: one of the rare teams. It was essentially bringing back 315 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: to everyone added Andrew Norwell, but for the most part, 316 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: it was consistent. There was continuity. That was one of 317 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: the chief reasons giving for keeping Blake Bortles at a 318 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: time when there were a bunch of different directions in 319 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: which the team could have gone at quarterback, and there 320 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: was a sense that let's just go back and do 321 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: it again and next time maybe we get a stepper 322 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: two farther on the playoff tree. And you know, I've 323 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: been trying to think of all the different reasons why 324 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: this could have happened, and maybe there's a bunch of explanations. 325 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: I think one is that after the Patriots game back 326 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: in September, team goes to two and oh. I think 327 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: maybe there was a tendency to forget that you have 328 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: to show up every week and bring it every week 329 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: and win every game. I feel like maybe there was 330 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: an organizational temptation to fast forward to a rematch with 331 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots in the postseason. I wonder about the physical 332 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: toll on the players from the Doug Barron training camp 333 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: last year, through sixteen regular season games, through three postseason games, 334 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: through another physical training camp. Does that take a toll 335 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: on the players? You know, was there is there an 336 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: organizational complacency that's set in where it's just like, hey, 337 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: you know what, let's just do what we've been doing, 338 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: and you just forget how hard it was to do 339 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: what they did last year and also the bigger target 340 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: on your back. You become a team that other teams 341 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: no longer take for granted. And that's a really a 342 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: real dynamic in the NFL. You know, just as the 343 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles are getting the best from everyone they played, 344 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: that the Eagles become the measuring stick for where other 345 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: teams are. The Jaguars for years benefited from being that 346 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: team that people would just kind of go ask it's 347 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: just the Jaguars. Well not, that's not the case this year. 348 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: That's a measuring stick team because the Jaguars had all 349 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: the hype because they didn't do well last year. And 350 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: I think a lot of those things come together and 351 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: made it very difficult. And once you once you start 352 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: a losing streets, sometimes it's very it's very hard to 353 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: get out of it. And I think that's, uh, that's 354 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: what happened. Because the talent is there, they just weren't 355 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: able to execute this year. Mike Florio with US Pro 356 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: Football Talk. I mean, it's everybody hates excuses, but it's 357 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: a reason for some of this um not having success 358 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: running the injuries. I mean, the offense is just beat 359 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: up right now, Mike. They're on the fourth left tackle, 360 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: backup left guard, backup center. The right tackle came out 361 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: of the game and came back in last week. The 362 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: fifth tight end has been played this year in Blake Bell. 363 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, the running back situation. You don't like excuses, 364 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: but that's a big part of what's happened on offense too, 365 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: especially when you build it around Blake portals and all 366 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: that breaks down, then what else can you turn to? 367 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: There's not much left. Yeah, And this is where the 368 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: challenges when it comes to that notion of injuries being 369 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: excuss because the natural inclination for anyone and plenty of 370 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: teams go through this every year. Hey there's been too 371 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: many injuries. What are we supposed to do? And that's 372 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: one of the things that sets the Patriots apart because 373 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: they have fully embraced this idea that there are no 374 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: excuses for injuries. We're not going to say, oh always does. 375 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: We're not going to accept anything less than the highest 376 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: possible performance from whoever steps in for a player who 377 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: is injured, and they're able to pull it off. One 378 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: of the things they able to pull it off is 379 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: they manage the salary cap in a way where they 380 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: have high quality death when they go to the backup. 381 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: The backup is pretty good and almost as good as 382 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: the guy who's in front of him, and it's easier 383 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: to pull it off then when guys get injured. But 384 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: that that's a that's a mentality that gets baked into 385 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: an organization over a period of years. And that's a 386 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: tough that's a tough switch for any team to flip. 387 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, and it's it's it's new for 388 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: the Jaguars to even have to make excuses, right right, 389 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: Nobody nobody's had this in how many years since the 390 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: conflent coaching era, really and at a minimum in ten years, 391 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: had had never been an occasion where you had to 392 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: make an excuse the team just wasn't very good and 393 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: you never got to the point where you had to say, well, 394 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: we got a bunch of injuries. And I think that 395 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: that that they're processing that this year and maybe that 396 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: will change come next year. Mike Florio from Pro Football 397 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: Talk with us uh sug Moron pulls the plug on 398 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles as the starting quarterback. And that's franchise altering stuff, 399 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: of course, Mike. When you have a first round draft 400 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: pick and he started every game in his career, you know, 401 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: and has has been a sturdy force at least on 402 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: the field. Whatever you can say about his play, but 403 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: he's been out there, he's been available. When you pull 404 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: him and you're pretty much done with him, that's a 405 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: franchise altering thing. And you get the feel that quarterback 406 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: will change around here in the offseason. What is Blake 407 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: Bortle's future in the league? Can will he be a backup? 408 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: Will he play well? I think we'll get a chance 409 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: to compete, to be on a depth chart somewhere, probably 410 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: as it back. But you know there's going to be 411 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: a coach out there that thinks I can fix this guy. 412 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: I see enough good in him that once I did 413 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: him in my system, I'll figure out how to put 414 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: guys around him and they can work, and maybe he 415 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: becomes even more determined to make the most out of 416 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: whatever second chance he has somewhere else. But he's gonna 417 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: have to earn it. He's gonna have to prove it. 418 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: Nothing's going to be given to him at best. What 419 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna find is a is a team where they've 420 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: got a couple of guys who were competing for that 421 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: for that starting job. And I could see him signing 422 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: with a team that We've seen this a few times 423 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: in recent years, like the Mike glennon the Chicago Grove 424 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: last year, where you sign a veteran before the draft 425 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: and then you draft a guy in Round one and 426 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: that treater and just kind of holds the spot until 427 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: the rookies ready, and you know, that's one of the 428 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: reasons to do the draft before you have free agency, 429 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: because you don't want to end up being that quarterback. 430 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: It gets nuts to the wayside. But I could see 431 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: something like that happening with Portals, where a team that 432 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: clearly hasn't need a quarterback signs him as a placeholder 433 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: and then goes after the guy they want to try 434 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: to room and develop in the draft. The problem, of 435 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: course for the Jags is that they're stuck with sixteen 436 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: million against the calf no matter what happens with him 437 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: next year. I mean, that's a lot of money going 438 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: out the door for no production, no quarterback, and that's 439 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: what makes the decision so glaring. I remember when I 440 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: first caught win it was going to go that way, 441 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: even though there were so many other guys out there 442 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: the Jaguars could have explored, from Kirk Cousins, the case 443 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: Keenum to Teddy Bridgewater, trade for Tyrod Taylor, trade for 444 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: Alex Smith, draft Lamar Jackson. I still thought there was 445 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: a good chance to Lamar Jackson was going to be 446 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: a pick at twenty nine, even with Blake Portals there 447 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: for the next three years. Be because you've got Lamar 448 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: Jackson and you can groom him quietly. You can use 449 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: him the way that the Ravens used him, and if 450 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: Mortal doesn't work out, you've got a guy that you 451 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: can make into your quarterback. But for whatever reason, they 452 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: weren't ready to pull the trigger on him, and there's 453 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of regret about how that was handled. 454 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: And now this year, with fewer quarterbacks available in free 455 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: agency in the draft, it's you know, it's gonna be 456 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: uh time to move on. And I think it makes 457 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: it even more compelling for them to find a younger, 458 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: cheaper guy through the draft because of that money is 459 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: gonna get allocated to Blake Bortles. Moving forward, Mike, last 460 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: few minutes with you here. We appreciate your time today. 461 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: Let's touch around the NFL, the domestic violence issues popping 462 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: up the last couple of weeks. Ruben Foster arrested the 463 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: team hotel down in Tampa a couple of weeks ago, 464 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: cut and then claimed by the Redskins. Uh, we know 465 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: all what all happened there. Of course, Kareem hunting video 466 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: came out and then he's cut by the Kansas City Chiefs. 467 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: That is a busy week from anyone's standards. Let's start 468 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: off with the Foster thing and and the Redskins claiming him. 469 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: Obviously there was a huge uproar about that. What's your view, Well, 470 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: I think what Washington thought they could do is called 471 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: this Don Foster, who's not going to play this year, 472 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: will be available at some point in twenty nineteen. And 473 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: they figured, hey, you know what, who's gonna give us 474 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: a hard time for this. It's not like he's going 475 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: to be on the field. We know he's not going 476 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: to be on the field, will pay him not to play, 477 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: and we'll have him available to us in twenty nineteen. 478 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: And I just don't think they had a plan for 479 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: the backlash that they got, because everything they did after 480 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: that it felt like it made it worse instead of better. 481 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the big reasons Kareem 482 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: Hunt wasn't claimed. After people saw what Washington experience, they decided, 483 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: you know what, it's not worth putting ourselves in this 484 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: position where we're gonna suffer through a week of bad 485 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: pr for a guy who can't play for us until 486 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: who knows when. In teen or maybe not even until Yeah, 487 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: that's the question I had next is will either one 488 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: of these guys play in the league again. I think 489 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: Foster will be back at some point next year, and 490 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: I think Hunt, unless the NFL decided to, would pose 491 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: a very very serious and stern punishment on Hunt based 492 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: on the February incident that was on video. There's a 493 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: June incident that's been reported, the league's investigating. There's a 494 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: January incident that popped up earlier this week. I mean, 495 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: if they really want to stack together these punishments, they 496 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: could knock him out for all of twenty nineteen and 497 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: maybe even into twenty twenty. But this guy is ascending. 498 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: He left the league in rushing as a rookie, and 499 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: there will be a team that will give the guy 500 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: a second chance. Mikel Vick got a second chance. I 501 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: never thought he'd be back in the NFL after the 502 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: things he admitted to doing and after going to prison 503 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: for two years. Hunt's not even gonna get arrested for 504 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: any of the things he did. So you'll see that. 505 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: You'll see him get a second chance somewhere, and somebody's 506 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: gonna end up with a pretty good player. Who's going 507 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: to be motivated to show that that number one, he's 508 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: gotten his life together, and number two that he can 509 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: still get it done and that he can earn the 510 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: kind of money that everybody thought he was gonna get. 511 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: In Kansas City, Mike Florio with US Pro Football Talk, 512 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: how does TMZ get all these videos ahead of the 513 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: league and the authority mine they paid for him and 514 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: the NFL is not inclined to do it. I posted 515 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: something earlier today explaining that the NFL is very leary 516 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: about trying to beat TMZ at its own game, because 517 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: you know, t m z's immediate outlet, and even though 518 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: the NFL operates its own in house pidia outlet, it 519 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: wouldn't be trying to get it for the purposes of media. 520 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: They'd be trying to get it to the purposes of 521 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 1: internal discipline. So if the hotel whose employee sells that 522 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: video to the NFL decides to sue that employee in 523 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: the NFL gets in the middle of it, they can't say, well, 524 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: we have we you know, we have a legal privilege 525 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: where we don't have to tell you who gave us this. 526 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: And I think they're very concerned about getting themselves some 527 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: ugly messages if they start doing what TMZ does. Plus 528 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: there's an unseemly quality to this idea of paying for 529 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: for videos. So what they need to do is try 530 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: harder to get the video that they're operating in a 531 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: in a scenario where TMZ will pay, the NFL won't. 532 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: And I think that they need to be relentless in 533 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: their efforts to try to get law enforcement to demand 534 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: the video, law enforcement to share the video. That was 535 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: the problem in Cleveland. The hotel would only get the 536 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: video to law enforcement, and law enforcement wouldn't ask for it. 537 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: And I'd love to see the paper trail between the 538 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: League office and law enforcement in Cleveland as to how 539 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: aggressively the NFL tried to get that video, because I 540 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: think they need to do everything they can. They need 541 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: to never let it go and try and try and try. 542 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: Once into that videos there, they gotta do everything they 543 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: can't short of buying it to get that video. Hey, 544 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: what's uh you gonna watch Thursday night? And who you 545 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: got Titans or Jays? Well, you know, I never know 546 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: which Titans team is going to show up. Nobody does, 547 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: and and and the Titans at six and six you know, 548 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: we were talking earlier today on TFT Live. Christens and 549 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: I were going through all the six six teams to 550 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: figure out which one's going to find the gas pedal, 551 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: because every year it seems like there's a team that 552 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: gets hot and runs the table and carries that momentum 553 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: into the postseason. And it could be the because their 554 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: schedule is favorable, but every time they get a big 555 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: win or two, they follow it up with an ugly 556 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: loss or two. So I really don't know which way 557 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: this one's gonna go. Short week dynamic changes everything. I 558 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: probably air on the side of the home team, but 559 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: error is the key word, because we saw the Jaguars 560 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: beating the Colts on Sunday, and if they can carry 561 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: that bote in the Thursday night and the the Jaguars can 562 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: run into two in a row, I mean, this is 563 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: really a game where I have no idea how it's 564 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: going to play out, which makes it, you know, all 565 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: the more reason to watch. Well, the way the Jags 566 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: offense is struggling these days. It took a shutout to 567 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: get that done last week against the Colts, so we'll 568 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: see if the Jags defense is up to the task again. Tomorrow. Hey, Mike, 569 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: it's great to talk to you. We really appreciate your time. Man, 570 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: Have a good day, all right, Jake Buddy Mike Florio 571 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk. Always great to have him on with us. 572 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: He's gracious with his time each and every year, and 573 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: certainly again today. Plenty left to come on.

Well, not as great as the 637 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: Titans are. Right now, there's six and six, Jags are 638 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: four and eight. Thursday Night football national television audience at 639 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium. What what is Let me know when you 640 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,239 Speaker 1: figure out which way the Titans team is going to go? 641 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: Which which way? Will that be? The final month? Paul? Yeah, 642 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: I wish I knew. Um, you know, last year at 643 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: this time they were eight and four and a lot 644 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: of bad stuff was ahead. Um, they finished nine and seven. 645 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: Only after that last week win over the Jags, when 646 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: the Jags already had things sealed up, so it's gonna 647 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: be a harder track, uh this time around. Winnable games obviously, 648 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: Jags are not what most of us expected. UM. Giants 649 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: and Washington have had before season finale at home against 650 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: the Colts, which could could be a huge game, could 651 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: be a playoff game if the Titans take care of 652 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: things between now and then. But Titan has been very 653 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: up and down, very unpredictable, often playing to the level 654 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: of the competition. UM, so it's it's really hard to know. 655 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: And coming off a game where you know, they did 656 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: what they had to do and beating the Jets, but um, 657 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: I really didn't look like they were up to the 658 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: task for for three quarters of that game. Really. Uh, 659 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: it was disappointing. So it's hard to know exactly what 660 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: the what they're gonna be. Um, they're not as talented 661 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: as as we thought. The loss at Delaney Walker on 662 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: opening day really really hurt them. And UM, you know, 663 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel and his staff UM, which is a lot 664 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: of newcomers still kind of sorting through things. Speaking of Rabel, Paul, 665 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: you know you're with him on a day to day 666 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: basis there on the beat. UM compare him to some 667 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: of the Titans coaches in the past, Malarkey and wizzen 668 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: Hunt and Munshack and Fisher. I mean, how does he 669 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: compare to deal with what's his personality? How has he 670 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: been so far in his first year? Well, I mean, 671 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: I think he's a really smart guy. I think sometimes um, 672 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: maybe with some of the aggressive calls he's made. Going 673 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: for a two point conversion at the end of the 674 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: Chargers game in London, Uh, to play winner loss right 675 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: there at the end, when it had taken the Titans 676 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: uh so much energy to get in the end zone 677 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: for the touchdown. I thought they had taken momentum in 678 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: that game and that they'd need more than you know, 679 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: they had needs a lot more than one try to 680 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: get in for the touchdown. I thought it was over aggressive. Um. 681 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: Uh they tried a fullback dive with with Luke stock 682 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: or a tight end who never carried the ball in 683 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: the NFL or in college. Um a couple of weeks 684 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: ago and a big turning point at Houston. Um, sometimes 685 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: it seems a little bit too much. Um, a player 686 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 1: still with wanting to go for it in the way 687 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: that a player might We didn't play that long ago. 688 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean he was on the field not that long ago. UM, 689 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: But I think I think he's smart. Like he took 690 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: intentionally took a twelve menu on the field penalty the 691 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: other day on the second two against the Jets. That 692 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: kind of stop the clock bought the Titans an extra 693 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: time out, gave them a reset because they knew the 694 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: Jets were gould to convert a second and two, but 695 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: gave them a new kind of four minute defense reset. 696 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: And um on a new first new first down there 697 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: and helped set the Titans up for a stop, get 698 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: the ball back, drive down, and you know they were 699 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: in position to tie it with the field goal or 700 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: win it with touchdown, and they wanted with the touchdown. 701 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: He does some smart things like that. I think he's 702 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: got a real feel for for what players need in 703 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: terms of rest um and and when um and I 704 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: think he's a comer, but I think this season maybe 705 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: he is a little harder than he and and and 706 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: UH general manager who hired him, John Robinson expected UM 707 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: and I think they'll know full well at the end 708 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: of the season whether they get in or not. Um 709 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: just the work that's ahead of them to kind of 710 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: complete the transition into these schemes and uh, and to 711 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: get things going in a better direction a little faster. 712 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: Caharsky is with us. Give him a follow on Twitter 713 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: at Paul Koharsky nfl UM Paul Marcus Mariota is a 714 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: guy who's taken a lot of hits this year. That's 715 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: one thing. He runs around a good bit. We know that. 716 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 1: Um of those sacks and the quarterback hits? Is it? 717 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: Is it? Line issues? Isn't his style of play? Can 718 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: he overcome that? What? What has what has been the 719 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: reason for him getting just hit a lot this year? 720 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: What's the deal? Well, it's line issues first and foremost. Um, 721 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 1: you know, knock on wood for them. He's done a 722 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: pretty good job surviving it. I mean, he got his 723 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: elbow knocked pretty good in the season opener and um, 724 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: and then dealt with you know, kind of weird nerve 725 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: stuff like a fun a prolonged funnybone injury where he 726 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: had some tingling that that kind of reduced his feeling 727 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: in his hand and uh and left him with some 728 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: tinglingness in his hand that was an issue for a while. 729 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: He overcame that and uh, you know it's been dinged 730 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,959 Speaker 1: once since then. But he's done a better job staying 731 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: healthy than you might expect based on how much he's 732 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: been hit. He's just not uh, not doing well enough 733 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: throwing the ball away and get getting himself out of trouble. 734 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: There's some metrics that say generally gets rid of the 735 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: ball quickly, but he's not getting rid of it quickly enough. 736 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: And some of those sacks circumstances. Now sometimes I mean 737 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: people are getting blown up and uh, and he's hit 738 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: very quickly, but I think even in some of those circumstances, 739 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: he should see stuff coming. And uh, you know, he's 740 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: got some circumstances where he's getting ah, he's creating big 741 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: losses where he could have smaller losses and uh and 742 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: it's a problem there there and second and long and 743 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: third and long and far too often and uh and 744 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: not able to battle out of that stuff. And the 745 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: Jaguars obviously came to life against Andrew luck putting the 746 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: Colts in some of those situations. So they're gonna need 747 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 1: to do far better. And they'd certainly like to see 748 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: the Jaguars from previous weeks and not from last week 749 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: Tomorrow night. Yeah, that that's the recipe for the Jaguars 750 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: right now, they have to nearly pitch a shutout the 751 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: way the Jags offense is set up and is playing 752 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: these days, and I'm not sure if that can happen 753 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: again tomorrow night. A couple of top ten defense speaking 754 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: of the Jags defense, the Titans defense the top ten 755 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: unit as well, familiar names Casey, Iraqpo Wood you admired 756 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: all the rest. I mean, where do these guys stand? 757 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 1: Why are they ranking so highly? And it's got a 758 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: start up front, right with with Casey, he's still stud. 759 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: He's a stud, but he didn't have much help alongside him. 760 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,720 Speaker 1: The rest of the defensive line hasn't really done much. 761 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: And those outside guys you mentioned Racpo. He had a 762 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: good game last week, but he's looked old this year. 763 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: He's in the last year of his contract. Derek Morgan's 764 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 1: banged up, might not play. He's in the last year 765 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: his contract. Has been banged up a lot this year 766 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: and hasn't done much. Uh. The interiors really provided the rush. 767 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: Wesley Woodyard H J. Brown, the young inside linebacker. He's 768 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: more of a coverage guy, but has found a way 769 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: um to get in the backfield, particularly on blitz is. 770 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: It's a good scoring defense first and foremost. It was 771 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: first for a while before it got lit up and 772 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: back to back weeks by the Colts, um and the Texans. 773 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: Good scoring defense, still, good red zone defense, very good 774 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: at making people kick field goals and buckling down. But 775 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: not a lot of good individual numbers, not a lot 776 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: of sacks um and not a lot of turnovers. It's 777 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: been been uh too long since. Uh. I mean Malcolm 778 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: Butler finished this game off this week with an interception, 779 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: but uh uh an interception to staunch the bleeding in 780 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: the middle of the game hasn't come in a long time. 781 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: Haven't seen the defense in the end zone in a 782 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: long time. Um, they really could help out the offense 783 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: even a bit more. But it's a it's a defensive 784 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 1: football team for sure. Every time I think it's going 785 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: to be an offensive football team and don't turn out 786 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: that way. No, it doesn't. And we we saw that 787 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: certainly at the end of the regular season last year. 788 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: A couple of interceptions I buyed in that game, one 789 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: to seal it and then won the middle of the 790 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: football game as well off Blake Portals. Alright, so Thursday 791 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: night football is the city ready. They're excited about the 792 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: Titans still are they kind of on the on the 793 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: fence here? Uh? Well, I wrote this week, Um, you know, 794 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: this team still hasn't grabbed this town. Obviously, the two 795 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,479 Speaker 1: nine and seven seasons were way better than the Ken 796 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: wizzen Hunt era where they you know, had two and 797 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: three wins and consecutive seasons, and um, he got fired 798 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of one of those. Uh last year 799 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: nine and seven and went to the playoffs. But there 800 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,959 Speaker 1: was a real disconnect between the team and the town 801 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: lugely over the playing style. Uh and Malarkey's future was 802 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: a big storyline there still and it hasn't connected much better. 803 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: This new final offense was supposed to grab people scored 804 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: ten points less at this stage of the season than 805 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: Malarkey's archaic offense. So I don't know how how how 806 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: well it's gonna go tomorrow in terms of the tenants. 807 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: It's cold here and I think people are frustrated with 808 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: this team. Uh. Still holding out hope obviously that that 809 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: it will produce a playoff birth, but there's no love 810 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: affair going on right now. People are frustrated that they 811 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,240 Speaker 1: haven't turned the corner and figured things out. Malarkey's offense 812 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: was archaic. That was exotic smash mouth. Paul. I don't 813 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. It was exotic arcade. Paul. 814 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: It's uh. It's good to talk to you, but it's 815 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: been too long and we'll hope to talk to you 816 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: again soon.

The Jags are currently in flight. 866 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: They're headed to Nashville for Thursday night football against the 867 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. We welcome in our friend Alex Marvez from 868 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: Sirius XM Radio. Alex, it's great to talk with you. 869 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on today, Bud Noble, and I'm sorry 870 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: they left your behind again. I mean, listen, I know 871 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: what this has become. At first you thought, Okay, this 872 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 1: is cute, and then you realize that they were changing 873 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: your schedule that they were giving you so that you 874 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: kept missing this flight. I hope it's nothing personal, any 875 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: any sort of thing that you did, but it is 876 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: still great to be talking to you. Yeah, I hope 877 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: it's not personal either. But that's well, we'll see. The 878 00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: jury's out, alex Um. The Jags have some issues right now, 879 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: alex certainly on the offensive side. They let the offensive 880 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: coordinator go. They've benched the franchise quarterback and that's never 881 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: a good sign for the final month of the season 882 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: and then this offseason coming ahead. There's a lot of 883 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: change of float down here in Jacksonville. Yeah, that's what 884 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 1: it's looking like. And listen, you know, things unfortunately for 885 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 1: Nate Hacket, the guy very creative at times with this 886 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: game plan, and you know, had made some strides with 887 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 1: Blake Portals and where I don't want to sit here 888 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: and beat up on Blake because I actually like Blake Portals, 889 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 1: but as a person he's always been gracious to me. 890 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 1: But as a quarterback, you know, sometimes you know, in 891 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: this league, you've got to be able to raise the 892 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 1: level of the play around you. And unfortunately for Blake, 893 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: it just wasn't happening. And of course he pays a 894 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: heavy price in eate Hacket pays a heavy price, and 895 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 1: it just raises some questions. So what is the future 896 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: at quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, And you know, and 897 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: it's so weird, right because each time you win, you 898 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: feel better about it and you're trying to get the 899 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: program to finish strong in December. But it also moves 900 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: you away from one of those high draft picks where 901 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: you may be able to get a quarterback. And we 902 00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,800 Speaker 1: look at some of the teams that are struggling in 903 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: the NFL right now, and they may need quarterbacks. So 904 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the tough parts about this, 905 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 1: you know, I think it really starts right there, JP 906 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,760 Speaker 1: just trying to figure out who's going to be under center. 907 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Scott Milanovitch is the long term 908 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: answer at offensive coordinator, but we'll let him call the 909 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: plays right now. See where that goes. But I think 910 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: everything really starts there, and of course a return to 911 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 1: health because this wasn't Alan Blake. You've had Leonard for 912 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: needed in onto the lineup throughout the year, whether it's 913 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: Leonard screwing up or its injuries. You've had four off 914 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: starting offensive lineman, go On I r And Marquis Lee 915 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: one of the underrated absences for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He 916 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: developed into a pretty darn good receiver. He hasn't been 917 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: playing all years since getting hurt, I think and we 918 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: want Yeah, that's a great point, Alex. The Marquis sleeping. 919 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 1: It was actually the preseason against the Falcons he got 920 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 1: rocked and h He's his recovery continues, and of course 921 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: they signed him to a longer deal before this season. 922 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: He's not available and it's not even yet. Certainly his 923 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: speed and everything in the in the past game down 924 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: the field to get vertical, but he's big in the 925 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: run game now, they'll they'll be the first to tell 926 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: you the guy can block too, absolutely if you're right 927 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: about that, and one of the underrated things about him. 928 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 1: And it's been an interesting year for Dante Moncrief as well. 929 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 1: I know it was a one year. Let's see how 930 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 1: this Ghoest type deal, you know, nine million dollar salary. 931 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,919 Speaker 1: It was solid. You know, he was hoping to become 932 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: the next Alshon. Jeffrey Right and al Shan signed almost 933 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 1: the exact same numbers with the Philadelphia Eagles and they 934 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: were able to strike the long term to deal with 935 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,919 Speaker 1: him during the season. And al Shan has been great 936 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: for the Eagles. So here's something else for the Jacks 937 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 1: to consider, because they've got so much money now up 938 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: against the salary cap, and they understood that this was 939 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: a team that was built to peak in eighteen. Some 940 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: familiar faces that that you've seen in Jackson go for 941 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: a while, probably won't be back next year as his 942 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: team retools and and just tries to keep having the 943 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 1: success in the draft that it's been that it has been, 944 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: because while the free agent signings have helped the Jacks 945 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 1: get to be two thousand, seventeen AFC Championship Game, it's 946 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: really the draft that to me has served as the 947 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 1: backbone of so much of the positive things that have 948 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: happened on Florida's first goes Alex Marvez with a serious 949 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,439 Speaker 1: XM Radio Leonard for that is back. He has missed 950 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 1: ten of twenty eight pass games in his career. Either 951 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 1: the injury or suspension or the team holding him off 952 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: to the side, whichever way you want to look at it, 953 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: is he a long term franchise back in this league? 954 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: Can he be that kind of guy? Count? Well, he 955 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: can be, what with more consistency. I mean, the nice 956 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 1: part of the Jack is, look at you're in for 957 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: a penning, You're in for a pound, right, And we 958 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: got two more years to try to determine this. When 959 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: I when I was in you know, at your Jack 960 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,439 Speaker 1: training camp in mid August, you know, nice, nice, cool, 961 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,480 Speaker 1: breezy degree day in the middle of the month. Um, 962 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, Leonard Fournette looked great, right, and you know, 963 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 1: he looked like he had lost some weight. He spoke 964 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 1: with a guy with a lot more confidence than he 965 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 1: did in his rookie season. And I'm not you know, 966 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 1: that's not disparaging his rookie season. But I'm just trying 967 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 1: to give you a snapshot from one year to the 968 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: next about what I saw in Leonard Fornett. And I 969 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: was really optimistic that he had turned the corner. You know, 970 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: remember in his rookie season he had been I think 971 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 1: he missed a meeting or something JP, I forget what 972 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 1: it was, but team photos. I mean, yeah, so you 973 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: know that sort of steff he just can't do at 974 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 1: this level. And you know, for Leonard, it's always been 975 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: so easy for him, right and be one of the 976 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: great high school running backs you've ever seen, one of 977 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: the great college running backs that you had seen. And 978 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: he gets to the NFL and it's it's a different animal. 979 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: You have to be disciplined, you have to watch your weight. 980 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: I mean you're so you know, as the number four 981 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 1: overall picking the draft, there's responsibilities that come with that, 982 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 1: and unfortunately at times Leonard has not embraced that list. 983 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: And the guy got hurt hamstring injury. Fortunately doesn't look 984 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: like it's a chronic thing, you know ala Shawn Lee. 985 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 1: But I think the jury still I don't whether this 986 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 1: is gonna work out for him, you know, over the 987 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 1: long haul, he's got two years to prove it and 988 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 1: try to earn that big money deal. I know they 989 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,280 Speaker 1: can redo is do after year three out of Tide Gurley, 990 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,319 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's happening. I think it's gonna 991 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: say two solid years of Leonard Burnett showing that he's 992 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 1: someone that you can trust. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised 993 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: if the jackson move on, Alex, What do you make 994 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: of the leadership structure here in Jacksonville where a couple 995 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 1: of seasons into it now Tom Coughlin at the top, 996 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 1: Dave calledwell the GM, Doug Marone the head coach, Tony 997 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: Con is involved in there, of course as Parcelona or 998 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 1: the team, and shot Con the owner. It's um, you 999 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 1: don't see that type of you know, structure. I guess 1000 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: around the league a lot. What did you make the 1001 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: first couple of years of this? I think it's fine. 1002 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 1: I don't think the leadership structure is that you know 1003 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: that the structure of it itself is not the problem 1004 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: that the problem is like portals decision is there's a 1005 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 1: big one. I mean for this team, you know that 1006 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 1: was a huge one. I mean, look and endless that 1007 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 1: every team is gonna have hits, every team is gonna 1008 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: have some misses, right, I mean, look, Aaron Coleban to 1009 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 1: me's a heck of a corner. But there's only so 1010 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 1: many players are going to be able to resign, right, 1011 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if the nickel you know, the Nickel. 1012 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 1: Cornerback play has been up to snuff, and I know 1013 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 1: there's been some injuries. Listen, very Church that didn't want 1014 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 1: expect the wheels to fall off on him as quickly 1015 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: as they did. But fortunately you've got a nice replacement 1016 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: in Richardson, the rookie who started last week and had 1017 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: a big game, I know, a big sack against the Colts. 1018 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: So there's something that's promising there. I don't think the 1019 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: structure of this team is an issue. In fact, I 1020 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 1: think it's actually a positive for this team because there 1021 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: are defined roles. Everybody knows what their responsibility is. Do 1022 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: your job, JP, and you'll be fine. Just like when 1023 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 1: John oshan boss is you around. As long as you 1024 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: respect him, you're doing great. Yeah, that's just like, that's 1025 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: just Alex straight of Um, there have been changes in 1026 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,399 Speaker 1: the league already though. Mike McCarthy's out in Green Bay, 1027 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson is out in Cleveland. Um, what was the 1028 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 1: how about the McCarthy when let's start with that one? 1029 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 1: How surprising mid season was that that was when he 1030 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 1: kind of felt coming though the way things were going 1031 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: apart there, Yeah, things were going that way. But listen, 1032 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, for the for the Packers. What was the 1033 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: endgame on all this? I mean, you you just lost 1034 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals and that is, you know, probably 1035 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 1: the worst team in football, just just based upon the 1036 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: way they played, every statistical ranking, you name it. You're 1037 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 1: playing at home December football lambeau Field, knowing that you 1038 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: probably need to win out to make the playoffs, and 1039 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: you just stink. And I think that that was one 1040 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: of those indications. I don't want to say that Mike 1041 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 1: lost the team because I'm not there and I don't 1042 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not there every day. I don't think 1043 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: that's fair to say. But it was clear that that 1044 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 1: this was just unacceptable to management. So why waste anybody's time, 1045 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 1: you know, why continue to see the way it was going? So, 1046 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, this gives the Packers and let's and they 1047 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 1: can start talking to college coaches now, they can start 1048 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,879 Speaker 1: talking to people outside the league right now, and they're 1049 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: they're in a war right here with the Cleveland Browns 1050 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: for a head coach, and there's gonna be others that 1051 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: end up making changes. You would figure the New York 1052 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 1: Jets going to be a team that's probably moving on 1053 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 1: from Todd Bowls as well, and you know a couple 1054 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 1: of others. So and really, this year, there isn't that 1055 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 1: hot head coaching candidate. You know what I mean When 1056 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,319 Speaker 1: you look, everyone's trying to find the young, hot shot 1057 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, that up and coming guy. Who is it? 1058 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean John D. Philippo in Minnesota. I mean JP, 1059 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: he hasn't heard of running the football. The Vikings have 1060 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 1: the most out of skew offense of any team in 1061 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. They passed sixty at the top. I mean, yeah, 1062 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: that's brutal, brother. I mean, you've got to be able 1063 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 1: to have some sort of running game to complement it. 1064 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 1: And what happens sometimes is you get these guys, the 1065 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: Jim Bob Couts of the world that you know him, 1066 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 1: that John D. Filippo, and you know, they forget that 1067 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 1: you have to have balance and you have to be 1068 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 1: able to keep teams off guard because they love designing 1069 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 1: pretty past plays and I understand it. And everyone's seeing 1070 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: the success of Sean McVeigh and Matt Neggie in Chicago. 1071 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 1: You know they say, Okay, well we're gonna get the 1072 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 1: hot shot offensive human with a veteran defensive guy and 1073 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,399 Speaker 1: we'll go from there. Well, there aren't too many hot shot, 1074 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,959 Speaker 1: offensive guys out there that are really floating people's VOTs. 1075 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 1: So I think for the Packers is just allowed them 1076 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,879 Speaker 1: to move on from here. Allow Mike McCarthy too, since 1077 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,399 Speaker 1: he's going to be in high demand that I think 1078 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: he will get another shot right away to be able 1079 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 1: to prepare for what his next step is. It really 1080 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 1: works best for rival involved. Trust me, Mike didn't want 1081 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 1: to get fired. It isn't the way he wanted to 1082 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,320 Speaker 1: go out in Green Bay. He wanted to try to 1083 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,719 Speaker 1: win out, get into the postseason. But the reality is 1084 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: they were going to be moving on, So why not 1085 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: just go from there? What's the better job green Bay 1086 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: with four or five more years of a quarterback or 1087 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: an up and coming Brown's franchise. You gotta live in Cleveland, right, 1088 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: I mean that's sort of right there, JP. I just 1089 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: sort of sort of settled that. I mean, look, I 1090 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 1: think when you have John Dorsey, a guy who his 1091 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: track record speaks for itself as far as personnel goes, 1092 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: and building a winning roster, I think that's a really 1093 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,839 Speaker 1: appealing job. Green Bay's got some work. I don't think 1094 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 1: it's as far off as people think, but you know, 1095 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,839 Speaker 1: I do think that there's some work ahead and listen 1096 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 1: to I mean, what are you gonna run with Aaron Rodgers? 1097 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: I just feel like the fense, you know, And I 1098 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 1: hope Mike just takes a look back and not take 1099 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: it personally or anything like that, but takes a look 1100 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,279 Speaker 1: at what he's been doing on the offensive side of 1101 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 1: the football and having Aaron Rodgers stand back there and 1102 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,280 Speaker 1: waiting for these plays to develop. I mean, the NFL 1103 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 1: has become a short passing league, JP. We've seen offense 1104 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,960 Speaker 1: and passing we've never seen before in the NFL. Because 1105 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,720 Speaker 1: of the high completion passes, quarterbacks are getting the football 1106 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 1: out of their hands quicker than ever. It's the exact 1107 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: opposite in Green Bay. It seems almost archaic with the 1108 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 1: way that they're doing their business. But I will tell 1109 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: you this, based upon the draft this year, not only 1110 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 1: does John Dorsey deserve high mark, but Brian gutten Coust, 1111 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 1: the general manager. In his first year there, JP, he 1112 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 1: did a fantastic job finding some nice talent at wide receiver, 1113 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: some talented linebacker I mean, listen, and retooling that secondary. 1114 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: I think ultimately these guys are gonna be pretty good. 1115 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,840 Speaker 1: What's interesting about Green Bay as well. Mike Petton I 1116 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: think done a solid job as defensive coordinator there. So 1117 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,760 Speaker 1: does green Bay look for that young, hot shot offensive 1118 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: coach and then say, okay, we're good with Mike Petton 1119 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,400 Speaker 1: will roll from there. And the same thing with Cleveland 1120 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: Greg Williams. I don't think he's going to be the 1121 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,360 Speaker 1: head coach there, but to the Browns Entie Faim with 1122 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: a Vic Bangio a three million plus dollar a year 1123 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: offer to try to keep him in the fold. So 1124 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting. I think both teams are looking 1125 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: for the same thing. It'll be interesting to see how 1126 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 1: that one plays out. Alex Marvez with us last couple 1127 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 1: of minutes with you here, Alex, you still have the 1128 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame vote right, I'm now a permanent voter. 1129 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: By the way, you're in, You're in the room. I 1130 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: like that. That congratulations. I thought I thought voting for 1131 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,800 Speaker 1: the Pro Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame. It was like 1132 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: my peak, that's what Tony and I thought. But now 1133 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 1: it's not, and it's just you know, really, I'm just 1134 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 1: now I got this not bad. It was just a 1135 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 1: stepping zone to get you here, um, Tony Baselli is 1136 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,439 Speaker 1: a semifinalist again, he was in the room last year. 1137 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 1: What are the odds here is you have a good, 1138 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 1: a real shot to get in this year. Well, let's 1139 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: take a look at Here's how I like to look 1140 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,840 Speaker 1: at this sort of thing. Right, how many slots are 1141 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: we talking about? Right now? We have five modern error 1142 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: candidates who are set to get into the Pro Football 1143 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. So who do we figure gets in 1144 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 1: on the first ballot? Tony Gonzalez? And it was okay, right, 1145 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,800 Speaker 1: So you figure Tony gets what are those flops the 1146 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,800 Speaker 1: figure Ed Reid? And Ed Reid gets one of those slots, 1147 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,439 Speaker 1: and then I think there's gonna be a strong push 1148 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: for Champ Bailey to get one of those spots. So 1149 00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 1: what does that leave us? That leaves us to Hall 1150 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 1: of Fame spots. And that's where the Joscelyn begins, so 1151 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 1: to speak, to try to get people into the Hall 1152 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 1: of Fame. I can tell you without breaking any confidences 1153 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 1: or Hall of Fame rules. In my eyes, Isaac Bruce's 1154 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 1: candidacy really got help last year because of the comparisons 1155 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 1: between Tara Owens you know, and other great wide receivers. 1156 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: I think that it really helped Isaac and I think 1157 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 1: voters may look come into this Hall of Fame class 1158 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,240 Speaker 1: looking at him differently maybe than they did in the past, 1159 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 1: because his body of work is so impressive and it 1160 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: wasn't just the greatest show on turf. This guy was 1161 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: doing some great things well before that. I mean, receiving 1162 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: yards in a second NFL season was absolutely ridiculous, you know. 1163 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 1: And if we're comparing apples to apples, and if you're 1164 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,879 Speaker 1: one of these Hall of Fame voters, it says, why 1165 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to vote for five dbs to get in. 1166 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote one at each position. Well, as 1167 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: Tony Boselli a better candidate than Thief Hutchinson, As Tony 1168 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,880 Speaker 1: Boselli a better handidate than Kevin Mawai, And is he 1169 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,359 Speaker 1: a better candidate than Alan Fantica, you know, and all 1170 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:05,840 Speaker 1: of these guys now are starting to get to be 1171 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 1: multiple times in the room as offensive line candidate. I 1172 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 1: think Tony during his heyday was an incredible player. You know. 1173 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: Part of the problem he has that Terrell Davis was 1174 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,919 Speaker 1: able to overcome is that t D You you saw 1175 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 1: Terrell Davis, it was tangible to watch him run with 1176 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 1: the football right and carry it, and he was an 1177 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: offensive superstar and a Super Bowl m v P, all 1178 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 1: of those things. With Tony Vasselli, he blocks. I mean, 1179 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: you know what I saying, it's it's not the sexiest 1180 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 1: thing in the world. So he's got to overcome the 1181 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: fact that he had such a short injury play career. 1182 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: But when he was on there was nobody better. And 1183 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 1: I think that's the hope for Tony Boselli and whoever 1184 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 1: the presenter is has to be able to stress this 1185 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 1: in JP just behind the scenes thing here on this 1186 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 1: to me when I go into the meeting, I know 1187 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 1: that the guy is a great player. You don't have 1188 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: to tell me how great he is. He's obviously one 1189 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 1: of the final fiftine. I just want to have answered 1190 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 1: why he shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. I 1191 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 1: want you to be able to be prepared to tell 1192 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,520 Speaker 1: me all of the reasons why he shouldn't be there 1193 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 1: have good defense mechanisms for him to be honest to do. 1194 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: I think that's what cost of Parcels getting in the 1195 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,080 Speaker 1: first time people say, well I didn't Bill get in. 1196 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I thought the presentation was lacking, 1197 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 1: and there were some questions about Bill that lingered. He 1198 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 1: finally got in. I mean, trust me, and he's completely worthy. 1199 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 1: But I just think the presentation matters as well. That's 1200 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 1: interesting thoughts. I mean, and not a lot of people 1201 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 1: get an insight into that room. I know you guys 1202 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 1: are pretty quiet about all the tactics and everything that 1203 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 1: happens in there. But that's an interesting take. It is 1204 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 1: each city's voter has to present. Isn't that how it works? Correct? 1205 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 1: And you know, but I will say this though, sometimes 1206 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: as a presenter you can get a little bit of help. 1207 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: So you know, that's where like some others can come 1208 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,720 Speaker 1: in and you can reach out and you can talk 1209 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,919 Speaker 1: to some at large voters. You can talk to people 1210 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,960 Speaker 1: that support the candidacy and have them try to help. 1211 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's different ways you can present. I mean 1212 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,920 Speaker 1: I've had you know, I'll give you an example. Jeff Legwald. Uh, 1213 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 1: you know ESPN Denver did an incredible job presenting you 1214 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,320 Speaker 1: know Floyd Little. I mean, you know, JP, A lot 1215 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 1: of people wouldn't know Floyd Little. Well. The Broncos were 1216 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 1: terrible in the sixties. I mean this team didn't even 1217 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: make the playoffs for the first time until the seventies, 1218 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 1: let alone have a winning record. They were like the 1219 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints to the sixties in the NFL. Jeff 1220 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 1: went back and watched all the film and he marked 1221 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 1: down every time Floyd Little was able to turn getting 1222 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,960 Speaker 1: tackled at the backfield until like a one to three 1223 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 1: yard game. And you really convince people to do it 1224 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,240 Speaker 1: like that. Armando sal Ghetto of the Miami Herald he 1225 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: got Jason Taylor, and largely because of a letter from 1226 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady where Tom Brady wrote a note to Hall 1227 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 1: of Fame voters that said, this is the best defensive 1228 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 1: player I have ever played again, and Armando was able 1229 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: to parlay that into getting in. So there's different mechanisms 1230 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: that can be used to show the greatness of Tony Boselli. 1231 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 1: And I just hope this presenter take advantage of all 1232 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 1: that is out there to get them in and works 1233 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,400 Speaker 1: hand in hand with Tad Dickman and his award winning 1234 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 1: media relations staff to be able to get some information 1235 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 1: that would be able to help tell the Tony's canvasy 1236 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 1: just flip on the tape of the Bruce Smith game yeah, 1237 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,440 Speaker 1: that that might be a good starter. Exactly right, you 1238 00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean, things like this, go how about 1239 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 1: this called Bruce Smith? Hey, Bruce, what was it about 1240 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 1: Tony Boselli that made him so great? Bruce? Is not 1241 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 1: things like this that that you know, can help get 1242 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: the guy in. I've heard Bruce is not so open 1243 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: to discussing that football game though. Alex twists are man 1244 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 1: twists are? That's it? An Tony to his house. He's 1245 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 1: still an imposing figure. He'd block him again. Um, hey, 1246 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 1: what about Thursday night football? Jacks Titans? So you got quickly? 1247 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,200 Speaker 1: I got the Titans. I mean, I just think, and 1248 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to say that the game means more 1249 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: to them. It does mean more to them. Not that 1250 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: this Jacks team won't be fired up, but I just 1251 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 1: it's a short week and listen, look at look at 1252 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: the results on Thursday night football, by the way, and 1253 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, just look at their home results, and I 1254 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: think it answers your question. Obviously we have an anomaly 1255 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 1: here and they're like Denver Arizona. But by and large, 1256 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 1: if tho teams are equal, the home team wins. I 1257 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 1: go with the home team. And you know, the Titans 1258 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,000 Speaker 1: have been so erratic this year, but I think they 1259 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 1: can get it together. And look, the Jacks have passed 1260 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: for I believe the net yardage total is somewhere around 1261 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 1: three hundred yards in the past three games, if I'm 1262 01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: not mistaken and trying to do that on the road, 1263 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: and when a short week with a quarterback who hasn't 1264 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 1: had a whole heck of a lot of practice. I 1265 01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 1: know Leonard for Nette is back, but then the Jacks 1266 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 1: get something done in the air because the Titans will 1267 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 1: score a few points. I just don't think it happens. 1268 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: I think the Titans win. Alex. We can always count 1269 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 1: on your butt. It's always great to talk with you, 1270 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: and let's do it again soon.
