7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,479

00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: maybe later in the show we're gonna I have something

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: from Mark that actually may make him gag and it

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: might make you too. I just I don't I don't

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to give it away. I've

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: had this thought in case he's listening right now. I

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: just I'm I don't want to give it away. But

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: just between you and I, can you imagine if the

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars had drafted to Shaun Watson number four in

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. I know, I know, I know, right, I know,

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: I know I had to see I had the same reaction.

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Don't tell Mark, though, I want to hit him with

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: that and see what he see what he thinks. So

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,240

00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,360

00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: be by Russell Baxter couldn't join us tonight, and so

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: you'll get an old snippet of our in lap podcast,

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: which is absolutely fantastic that Drew and I do. And

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: this week we talked a lot about numbers, which I'm

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: sure is shocking with Drew being very, very smart and

35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: me liking numbers. So we talked a lot about numbers.

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: And the point in our discussion was, look at these

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 1: two teams. Look how similar they are to one another.

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: You'll be shocked when you look at the numbers. Now,

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: when you look at the teams, you're thinking, I don't

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: know if they're that similar. But the numbers say that

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: they are Drede. I talked about that, so we'll have

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: that later in the show as well. But we get

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: it kicked off as we always do on a Wednesday

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: without Reads. Hot Reads brought to you by Geico fifteen

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Now,

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: we typically kick off Hot Reads by going to the

47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: podium because on Wednesday, Coach O'Brien, de Sean, JJ, Tyrn,

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: J Joe, a lot of guys talked to the media

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: about various things and usually coach O'Briant kicks it off.

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Today JJ went first, but Coach O'Brien's first nugget today

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: was to announce that there were a couple of changes

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: in the practice squad. But then he saved the best

53
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: for last when talking about Drey how he had this

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: to say, we activated the twenty one day window on

55
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: him and so he'll be able to practice with the team,

56
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: and you know, at any point in time over the

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: twenty one day window, we can decide to activate him

58
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster, so we'll see where

59
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: he's at and and go from there. But that's great

60
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: news for Dre and for us. It is definitely great news.

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Now to explain a little bit further about what coaches

62
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: talking about, drey was on the active slash non football

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: injury or non football illness list. So what they allow

64
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: those individuals to do is come back to practice and

65
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: then they give the team twenty one days essentially three

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: weeks to decide do we want to put this player

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: on the roster, on the fifty three man roster or

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: does the player needs some more time that I don't

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: think has been completely determined how long that's going to be.

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: But Drey Howe practicing today, seeing twenty nine, seeing two

71
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: nine out at practice today was an amazing, amazing thing

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: and everybody was asked about it today in the locker room,

73
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys had some great things to say.

74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Here's Deshaw Watson when he was asked. And obviously Deshan

75
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: is not on the same side of the ball as

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: as dre Is. Buddy obviously knows him and knows that

77
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: this is some great news. Here's what de Sean had

78
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: to say about the news on Dre how Everyone was happy,

79
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: excited for him, and you know, he's been working out

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: with us every day. He's been around in the meeting rooms.

81
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: He's been bringing that energy and just you know, supporting

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: other guys that's been playing and now you know, being

83
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: able to you know, get back on the field with us.

84
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a special time. It is gonna be

85
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: a special time, no question about that, Tyrn. Matthew had

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: a chance to react as well. Ye. Yeah, we're excited

87
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: for him. You know, he's been a constant ever since,

88
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's been diagnosed him. You know, he's been

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: in every meeting trying to help us out, especially on

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: the sidelines as well during the game. So just really

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: happy for the guy. Um, you know, you get the duty.

92
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Loved again. Of course our dude Mark Burman, who I

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: absolutely love. He couldn't get enough with the story. And

94
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I think Burman probably speaks for for everybody, so he

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: asked Tyrn, this is pretty phenomenal, right. I mean a

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: lot of different guys go through a lot of different things.

97
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: But I think anytime somebody did diagnosed with a serious

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: condition like that and you know, and even be able

99
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: to come back in the same year and still be

100
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: able to play him, I think that speaks a lot

101
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: towards him. You know, his work habits, the things that

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: he's done outside the building, then you knew everything that

103
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: the doctors that have helped him with. I think one

104
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: of the things that I love about this story. First

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: of all, I'm the biggest Drey How fan you're gonna

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: find anywhere. Andre Ware and I are the charter members

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: of the Drey how Fan Club. There's no doubt about that.

108
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Dred a couple of games, a number of games actually

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt when Drey was a senior there back in

110
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Just love the guy. I mean, we're huge

111
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: fans of him, and there's so many people were excited

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: talking about dre How. You heard from the Sean, you

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: heard from tiring coach O'Brien talked about it as well.

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: When Drey was asked about it, he said he was excited,

115
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: but I mean he just sort of subdued because this

116
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: was supposed to go this way. This is the way

117
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: that I wanted it and needed it to go. I

118
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: was gonna come back and play, he said. He talked

119
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: about that at the podium today. It was very exciting,

120
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: you know, and been a long way for me. I was,

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, kept working out, you know, I kept my

122
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: favorite at completed this year and no it came to

123
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: fruition coach and Bran announced the news that a team

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: meeting on Wednesday, and that happens every Wednesday, coach has

125
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: a meeting with the players. This one was special because

126
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: he got to announce that news to the players and

127
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: of course the players went crazy. Dre talked about what

128
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: that was like, Yeah, all got happy, you know, anybody

129
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of congratulating me and it was

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: a good feeling. Just incredible stuff there from our dude

131
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: on Dre. How all right, let's get to let's get

132
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: to a little bit more sound from today. We had

133
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew on just a second ago and Tyrant was

134
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: asked about the Jaguars, what do you see in this team?

135
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, the Cardinals did play the Jaguars last

136
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: year and in that game, Tyrant headache backbreaking interception that

137
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: essentially sealed the win for Arizona in that game. But

138
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: asked today about the Jaguars, Tyrant had this to say, Well,

139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: the physical football team. They're gonna try to come in

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: here and run the football. Oh, we gotta do a

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: great job of stopping the run. And then um, you know,

142
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: hopefully from there, you know, he can make some place.

143
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: Sean Watson came to the podium today and well, a

144
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: lot of people wanted to talk about any number of things,

145
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: and the first one was how healthy were you against Buffalo?

146
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Whereas it was it safe to be on the field.

147
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: He had this to say, Now, I wouldn't be out

148
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: there if he would, you know, cause any any more problems.

149
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I talked it over with my family,

150
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: doctors and everything, and everything was fine. That's the only

151
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: reason why I was out there there. It is he

152
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: was out there. He was ready to go and got

153
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: it done and said he feels pretty good heading it

154
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: to this week against Jacksonville, but that means a challenge,

155
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: a challenge facing Shalen Ramsey. Sean said, this guy's pretty

156
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: good and he's an overall good player. He's a good

157
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: football player, competitor, you know, he's very smart. You know,

158
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: he has all the ability, and you know, he's just

159
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: one of the guys that, like I said before, he's

160
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: a good football player and he's gonna be in the

161
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: right place at the right time out of time, and

162
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one heck of a battle with DeAndre Hopkins.

163
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: JJ Watt met with the media as well, and he

164
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: said the defense playing pretty well right about now, but obviously,

165
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: as with anything else, it can improve. Anytime you watch

166
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: the film, those things that you think you can do better.

167
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think I mean to end the

168
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: game with a pick six to win it, and then

169
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: obviously creams picked to seal it. Those are huge plays.

170
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, those are massive plays. And throughout the course

171
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: of the game. To be able to hold a running

172
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: back like that under one hundred yards rushing and to

173
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: do some of the things that we did, we played well,

174
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: but I you know, we just you watch the film

175
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: and there's still a lot of things you can improve on.

176
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: So I think that's the most exciting part for us

177
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: is that we can continue to get better. Well, how

178
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: much you're proving do you have to do? JJ? When

179
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: I go back and watch the film, I click through

180
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: the good plays fast. It's the bad plays that you

181
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: watch in slow motion and you try and figure out

182
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: kit where my eyes, where is my focus? Where my keys?

183
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: Why did I do this? What step do I need

184
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: to take? Where should my hand be? So there's countless

185
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: number of things, and that's what practices for That's why

186
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I love practicing because you get to go

187
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: out there and you get to work on that and

188
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: then you watch the film. And so that's why this

189
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: season has been good for me. Is just the more

190
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: game tape you have to watch yourself, and the more

191
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you get to learn from your mistakes and you get

192
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: to pile them back to back, the better you are.

193
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: So I just each game is a chance for me

194
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: to watch and see where I need to improve and

195
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: continue to grow. I'm by no means where as good

196
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: as I'm gonna get yet, but that's because there's still

197
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: a lot of learning and growing let's to do. I

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: guess JJ was getting some emails during that because you

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: can hear the little dans. Either that or I was,

200
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: so there you go. Now, there are four teams left

201
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: in the Major League Baseball Playoffs, and there are two

202
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: people that I've thought about this entire time. One is

203
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Jesse Clark, our social media guru who used to be

204
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: my roommate, Missie Jess, my office mate. The other one

205
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: is j J. Watt. He was asked today what it

206
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: would be like if the Astros were to play the

207
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: Brewers in the World Series. It'd be a great jam

208
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: to be in. You know, I wouldn't mind it. It'd

209
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: be I mean, like I said in my tweet, I

210
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: grew up watching the Brewers of County Stadium and having

211
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: baseball cards of all the Brewers and Jeremy Burnetts and

212
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: those guys, And ever since I've been here in Houston,

213
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: I've been a massive Astros fan. I'm friends with a

214
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: bunch of guys in the team, so it would be

215
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: quite the jam. I don't know. Maybe I could throw

216
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: out a first pitch at bowl stadiums. You know, I

217
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: have no clue. But when people would ask who do

218
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: you want to win? I literally don't know what my

219
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: answer would be. So whoever's fans are closest to me

220
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: someone could beat up. Yeah, I'd like to see anybody

221
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: try and beat up JJ Watt. Good luck with that.

222
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: Now for our next hot read, our good friend Amy Palsik,

223
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: who runs everything as our vice president communication, said this

224
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: note earlier today and I saw this somewhere, but she

225
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: confirmed it. Deander Hopkins will beat the Astros tonight that

226
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: he's doing the playball ritual right before the game starts

227
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: thirty five love it. That means Hop's gonna be wearing

228
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: his rainbow colored number ten hop Astro's jersey. You saw

229
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: some Rockets at the game last night. I'm sure there

230
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: were some Texans in the house too. One will definitely

231
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: be there tonight. That's DeAndre Hopkins doing a playball ritual.

232
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: All right, our final hot read, and that is the

233
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: injury report. Not too severe in the Texans side, with

234
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: one exception. Zack Fulton did not participate. I saw him

235
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: hurt his ankle against Buffalo. He made it all the

236
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: way through the game, that ankle giving him issue. Did

237
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: not participate. Everybody else ready to go some limited the

238
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: Seaun was a full participant. Jacksonville struggling a little bit.

239
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: The DMPs on their side Clay's Campbell, Leonard Fournette, starting center,

240
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Linder, starting guard Andrew Norwell, and the starting running

241
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: back when Fournette is out, tj Yellin. So Jacksonville deal

242
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: with some injuries. Like to see him get fully healthy.

243
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: I just want to win over the jackson I don't

244
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: care we get it. Just want to get it so

245
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: but it still would like to do it at full strength.

246
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to play without a number

247
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: of stars. The Texas have done that before and hopefully

248
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: we'll never have to do that again. All right, let's

249
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: go behind enemy sidelines with our next segment. JP Shadwick

00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,760

00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Have they done in every game?

260
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: I think it's been in every game that they have

261
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown, even in the Dallas game. Yes, it

262
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: was four fuel goals, but Kiki Qt scored that was

263
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: a pass. That was a pass, so that does count.

267
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: behind enemy's sidelines with dep City this week. It is

268
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: our pal, JP Shatrick. And we've done so many games

269
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville since we started. DP started twenty thirteen, I

270
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: started twenty fourteen. I think each time, maybe I say

271
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: every time. I don't know if it's every time, but

272
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we talked to our good buddy from

273
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, JP Shatick. He has got his finger

274
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: on the pulse of things down in Jacksonville as well

275
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: as anybody is going to. He's in the building every

276
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: day with Doug Marrone and the guys, and he joins

277
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: DP pretty much every time we go behind enemy sidelines. So, yes,

278
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: we've gotten to be good friends with JP Shatrick. And

279
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: here it is. How are you today, Jp? I'm doing great. DP.

280
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: It's always good to visit with you, and it's always

281
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: fun to see the Texans come to town. It is

282
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: always fun. Although I've got to say this Jaguars team's

283
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of people worried. But with the last

284
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: two weeks everything that's happened, I got to ask JP,

285
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: what is going on in Jacksonville. Yeah, a lot of

286
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: soul searching is going on in Jacksonville right now. It

287
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: sounds like Doug Morone after the game in Dallas last week,

288
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: said they've got to look at everything from coaching to

289
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: players to schemes. So they're turning over every leaf here

290
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: to try to figure out what happened the last two weeks.

291
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Or the bottom line is they were out of the

292
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: ball game in the first half each of the last

293
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: two weeks. In Kansas City two weeks ago, it was

294
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: twenty to nothing at halftime, the Jags offense field four

295
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: out of five times in the red zone, they couldn't score,

296
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: and they turned it over five times. And then last

297
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: week they were blown out of the out of AT

298
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: and T Stadium in Dallas by the Cowboys. They scored

299
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: twenty four in the first half and the Jags didn't

300
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: get anything done until really in the second half, and

301
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: it was pretty much over by then. So it was

302
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: an all around just beat down by the Cowboys last week.

303
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: A team that had scored less than seventeen points a

304
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: game put up forty on this Jags teams. So a

305
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: lot of you know, question marks, Fans are angry, Broadcasters

306
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: are yelling at each other around here. I mean, it

307
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: is a it's a struggle right now, and it's a

308
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: team that feels like they're much better than they've put

309
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: on tape the last two weeks, and this is a

310
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: week to prove it. A home game, the only game

311
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville over the next six weeks of the seas

312
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: are in this six week span of the season, because

313
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: the Jags are in London next week. So you got

314
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: to get a home win this week against the Texans

315
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: to get back on track. The must game win for

316
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: both of these teams. And you know you mentioned the

317
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: disappointment the last two weeks as back to back losses.

318
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: It seems like these two teams could not have started

319
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: off the season any differently. The Jags started off two

320
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: and oh they beat the Patriots. They just looked like

321
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: the team that should have won the AFC Championship last year.

322
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: I meanwhile, the Texans go oh and three and so

323
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: the Texans have won three straight, the Jags have lost

324
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: two straight. Both teams sitting here at three and three,

325
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: tied for the division lead. What is everyone's saying about

326
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: the state of the Jags right now? Do they look

327
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: like a different team from that two and oh start? Yeah,

328
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: I think last week's game in Dallas just kind of

329
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: scared the heck out of a lot of people because

330
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: there have been moments where the offense has played great,

331
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, and the defense has done what they've done

332
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: last season, you know, and let's take the ball away

333
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: some and riek a little havoc. But they haven't been

334
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: that game wrecking defense that they were last year. You

335
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: guys saw a Week one last year with the ten

336
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: sacks and the stripped sacks and the returns for touchdowns

337
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: and all that. They haven't done a lot of that.

338
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: They had an interception return Week one against the Giants.

339
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: That's their only defensive score. They had a safety earlier

340
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: this year. Those are the only two defensive scores they've

341
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: had this year. They haven't gotten home in the quarterback

342
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot compared to last season. That's got to

343
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: change a little bit. There's still second in the league

344
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: in total yards on defense, and they're you know, first

345
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: against the past, so they're doing things well. It's just

346
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: they're not having those big splash plays and the offense

347
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: is up and down. Blake Portles will have a great day,

348
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: then he won't, and receivers aren't having a great day,

349
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: and then they will, and then the running backs hurt

350
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: and then who's gonna run the ball today? And who's

351
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: gonna play left tackle this week? They're on the third

352
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: left tackle the season, so it's a little inconsistency in

353
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: the play since that two and start. I think if

354
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: they can work through the injury bug that's bit them

355
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: right now and get to the buy a week in

356
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, get healthy again and make the run,

357
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 1: I think everything will be okay. I know a lot

358
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: of us saw that Jalen Ramsey postgame interview after the

359
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: Dallas loss, so very uncharacteristically quiet after that game. How

360
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: surprised were you to see this sort of change and

361
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: attitude after that loss? Or are you worried at all?

362
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: Or is this just sort of what you think is

363
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: a wake up call for that Jags defense. Yeah. I

364
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: think Calais Campbell probably put it best in the locker room.

365
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, we got beat and we just gotta

366
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: go wear it. You know, this is a team that

367
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: talks a lot, and when you talk a lot and

368
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: you get your tail whipped like they did last week,

369
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna figure out how to handle it. They haven't

370
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: had that a whole lot in their time around here

371
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. So for Jalen, I mean, Jalen's gonna be

372
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: fine leading up to the game, and he's actually been very,

373
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: very very good, and his pregame interviews is Thursday press

374
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: conference each week. He had a little tiff with the

375
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: media here early in the Sea preseason, you know, and

376
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: that was that's kind of worn off. Now I'm curious

377
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: to see this week how he comes back off of

378
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: that loss after you know, immediately in the locker room,

379
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: you never know, guys are upset and listening. So I'm

380
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: not really gonna buy too much into it, but i

381
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: will say, we'll see this Thursday how he responds and

382
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: how this defense gets ready and comes off giving up

383
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: forty points. I mean, they gave up twenty four when

384
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: it was really a close football, you know, and when

385
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: it really mad at in the first half. The ones

386
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: in the second half games kind of away from its

387
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: short fields off turnovers, and so I'm not buying into

388
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the second half too much. This defense is gonna be okay.

389
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna still talk some they I think they'll tone

390
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: it down a bit though after the last two weeks

391
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: and just move forward. Yeah, Jalen Ramsey always good for

392
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: a good sound piding and those matchups. Absolutely no, not complaining.

393
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: He's a lot of fun to that entire story that

394
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: came out in GQ over the summer. It had everybody

395
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: talking across the country and he didn't have anything bad

396
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: to say about the Texans, So I can't complay. You

397
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: gotta play the Texans twice a year. That's probably why

398
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: he has a respect for Hopkins and those guys, and

399
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: that's been out in the public before and and likes

400
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: his play and likes when they line up against each other.

401
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: And I think that respect is fun to watch. But

402
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: it's a broadcaster's dream. I mean, we of course trim

403
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: four or five sound bites out of every press conference

404
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: he has, and their their gold, you know. But then again,

405
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: the football side of things may not like that as

406
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: much because it puts the target on their back and

407
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: then you have to wear it when things don't go well. Yeah,

408
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: you've got six Pro Bowl players on that defense right now,

409
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: when you look at the forest through the trees, are

410
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: there any standouts so far for an even better twenty

411
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: eighteen campaign for any of the big names on defense. Yeah,

412
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: it's tough, you know, because the stats might not be there.

413
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: Miles Jack's playing good football. He was not one of

414
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: those Pro Bowlers last year, and he's the every on

415
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: middle linebacker now. He's not going to have the huge

416
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: tackle numbers and all that, but for the most part,

417
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: he's playing good ball. He hasn't had the impact plays

418
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: that he had in the postseason last year. He had

419
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: an interception against Pittsburgh and the Divisional playoff and of

420
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: course the big strip fumble thing. The Miles Shack wasn't

421
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: down playing the AFC Championship game. He hasn't had a

422
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: lot of that yet. I think those come at some

423
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: point for him. Thinking Goqua had a couple of sacks

424
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: last week. He's been a little slows starting, as this

425
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: entire pass rush has been, in fact, but he's starting

426
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: to get home a little bit now. He's getting closer

427
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: and closer to the quarterback. A guy who went to

428
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl last year with a big sack total

429
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: and there were a lot of people that picked him

430
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: possibly as a Defensive Player of the Year candidate. Well,

431
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't lived up to that yet. But he's still

432
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: playing good football and he's starting to come around and

433
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: he never slows down. He's got an unbelievable motor. Those

434
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: are two that I picked right now. Secondary he's had

435
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: their moments, they've gotten beat you know, and that's just

436
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: kind of part of the life in the NFL and

437
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: the defensive backfield, and I think they're trying to figure

438
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: out some things now, some communication issues on defense the

439
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks and between all three levels, so

440
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: it's work in progress. On defense, there are a couple

441
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: of guys, some guys playing well and it's okay. And

442
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: obviously they're still good because they're second in the league

443
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: in total defense. All right, let's talk about Leonard Fournette.

444
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: He's been a big storyline this year. I keep seeing

445
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: reports that he could return this week against the Texans.

446
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: And if he does, do you think he's full go.

447
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: That's a great question, because he left the Week one

448
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: game and hid in New York against the Giants and

449
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: did not even make it the halftime in Week one,

450
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: which is certainly a great disappointment because he put up

451
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: some numbers in that game early and then it was

452
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: the next week or so, is he gonna play? Is

453
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: he not? We don't know. It's as hamstring. Okay, Then

454
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: he comes out and plays another half of football A

455
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later doesn't even make it through that half.

456
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: So he hasn't even played a full game season for

457
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, so spots of two football games. And you know,

458
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when he walks out of the tunnel

459
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: with smoke and fire and the lineups are being announced,

460
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: and when he steps on the field behind Lake Bortles

461
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: on the opening play of a game. I mean that's

462
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: because there's been all these speculations, always going to try

463
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: it out on Saturday. Will see on Sunday game time

464
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: decision that he hasn't gone, you know, So do they

465
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: miss him? Sure? I think he's the identity of this offense.

466
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what else he could point to right now.

467
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: It's the run. They want to run the football, and

468
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: in order to run the football, well, you need a

469
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: really good running back to do that, and he's a

470
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: guy they drafted in the first round to be on

471
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: the field. He hasn't been on the field this year,

472
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: so t J. Yelden has been playing wellness place. They

473
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: got Jamal Charles last week because they needed some help.

474
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: Corey Grants on injured reserve. Now he's done, so that's

475
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: what they've been rolling with right now. It'd be great

476
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: to have him back, but I just like I said,

477
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: I won't believe it until I see it. I think

478
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: they should just arrest him for another week, be on

479
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: the safe side, you know. I mean, well, I'm just

480
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: hoping that whoever is back there could run the football

481
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: and keep JJ Watton Clowney at bay. I mean, because

482
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: the way these tackles and the offensive line is struggled

483
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks with pass rush, that's not

484
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: a good combination for this Jags team. If they get

485
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: down in this game and those guys get rolling, so

486
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: all the running backs we can find here at TIAA.

487
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Bank Field will be on the active roster this Sunday.

488
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: Certainly very battered at running back the Jags this year.

489
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: You mentioned the offense and the being scoreless in the

490
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: first half of both of those games against Casey and Dallas.

491
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: What's been behind the slow starts? Is it the injuries

492
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: or is there something else that the Jags are looking

493
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: to correct? Yeah, football guys over here will never tell

494
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: you all its injuries. We're beat up, you know what

495
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: was mean. It's always next man, op and we can

496
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: do this and we're looking forward. But I can I

497
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: can say that, Yeah, injuries have beat this team up

498
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: a little bit. They're on their third left tackle of

499
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: the year. They just signed Eric Flowers for goodness sakes,

500
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: who was cut by the Giants, a guy who you

501
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: know the jagsaw Week one, had to trip Calais Campbell

502
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: and couldn't keep up with him on the right side,

503
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: and he's out of New York now. They needed him

504
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: just as in case. He's a better option at the

505
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: tackle position. Every other offensive lineman has a little something

506
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: they're going through right now. They've been on the report

507
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. They've played, but they've been

508
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: on the report. Wide receiver play has been a little inconsistent.

509
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: Running back situations, they're beat up. Blake Bortles is up

510
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: and down and hasn't been totally great this year. He's

511
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: had his moments, So yeah, there's some of that. I

512
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: think that's that's a big part of it, is the

513
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: injury bug they put Last week alone, they put Tory Grant,

514
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: Austin Seferian Jenkins, the left tackle, Josh Wells, the long snapper,

515
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: Carson Tinker, and now this week, wide receiver Jadon Mickins

516
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: and punt returner all on injured reserve. That was in

517
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: the last week alone. That that doesn't even count Cam

518
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: Robinson the starting left tack in the first second week

519
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: of the season, and Mark eas Lee the wide receiver

520
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: in the preseason. I mean, this is a beat up offense.

521
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: It's not what you envisioned at all. So you know,

522
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: it's been hard to sustain drives and stay on the field.

523
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: When they have they've won. They haven't had a lead

524
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: changed this year. Deep, if they have the lead, they

525
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: win the game. If they don't have the lead first,

526
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 1: they lose the game. So that's pretty simple math to me.

527
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: Getting the end zone first, stay on the field, take

528
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: a lead, let your defense go to work. If you don't,

529
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: they've been in trouble. And that's the that's the point

530
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: on offense this week. Stay on the field, get some

531
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: early points, and let's go. That's an interesting stat ap

532
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: they haven't had a lead change this year. It's a

533
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: good one. Ankle. I mean, it's you know, you get down,

534
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: like last week the Cowboys score field goals three and nothing. Okay,

535
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: no big deal, right, all right, let's go offense. They

536
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: just had a three and out. All right, let's get moving.

537
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: Oh another three and out here come the Cowboys. They

538
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: drive down the field, touchdown, tend nothing. Oh boy, Okay,

539
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: this is not looking good right now. The offense couldn't

540
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: move and the first they couldn't do anything. They had

541
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: three they had like five possessions, three three and outs.

542
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: Another punch, And in the end of the half they

543
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: could move the ball and Dallas is driving down the

544
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: field and Ezekiel Elliot's running like a deer through the

545
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars and here goes Cole Beasley getting in the Ring

546
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: of Honor last week. So, I mean, it's it's just frustrating.

547
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: You know, when you're down seventeen and the Cowboys pass

548
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: rush gets going, then you got to you gotta abandon

549
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: the run. You gotta throw the football to get back

550
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: in the game. And that's not what this offense is

551
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: built to do. Yeah, good stuff, JP. It's it's remarkable

552
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: after the starts of these teams have had and after

553
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: everything that they've been through, especially you mentioned all the

554
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: injuries for the Jags. Both teams still tied for first

555
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: place in the AFC South with the Titans. We said

556
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: in post game last week yeah, it's three and three.

557
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: They're tied for first. But the Jags are trending in

558
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: the wrong direction right now and the Texans they're going

559
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: the other way, so maybe they can turn it. As

560
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm confident they're still good players in this team.

561
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: They can turn it around. This is a big game. Obviously,

562
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: you get behind. If you're the Jags fall in this game,

563
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: then they've lost to the Titans already, they've lost the Texans,

564
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: and you're behind the A ball and division standings, and

565
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: you got to go to London with a bye week

566
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: and it just win the games, stay on pace in

567
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: the division, and then get back above five hundred. That's

568
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: the Jaguars perspective at least, all right, good steph. JP

569
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: can't wait for this game in Jacksonville on Sunday. A

570
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: lot on the line for both of these teams, so

571
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Thanks on JP. Shaddrick of the

572
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network has always JP great talking to You'll

573
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: see you in Jacksonville. Sounds great. DP. Always good to

574
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: see you. We'll talk to you soon. JP's the best.

575
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: He always gives us time no matter what's going on.

576
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: I found it interesting each and every February. We see

577
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 1: JP at the combine, and every time we see him,

578
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, JP, how are you doing? Man? You're

579
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: doing okay? And yeah tough I picked though You're looking good.

580
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: This past year, Oh, it was a little bit differ,

581
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: JP walking his chest out a little bit. Hey, who's

582
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: AFC champs now? Oh? We went to an AFC championship game?

583
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: How about you guys? Oh, there was a little bit

584
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: more smug quality to JP. I mean, great, dude, but

585
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: after all the tough years, we'll give him that one. Hopefully,

586
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: the AFC South Championship will run back through Houston this

587
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: year and not through Jacksonville, but the game down in

588
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: Duval County on Sunday will go a long way towards that.

589
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: Coming up, Drew Doherty and I will break down some

590
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: of the numbers in this one that showed that these

591
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: two teams probably a little bit more similar than you'd think.

592
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: It's coming up next right here in Texans Axis, each

593
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: and every Tuesday, Drew Doherty and myself we sit down

594
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: to do a podcast that we like to call in

595
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: the Lab, and it was essentially born out of a

596
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: couple of numerical anomalies or oddities that Drew had noticed

597
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: in the offseason, and so he thought, hey, let's call

598
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: this thing in the lab where you and I will

599
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: go in and we'll start breaking down and deciphering some

600
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: of the information that we see. And I thought, Okay,

601
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: sounds good, we'll do it. And so we did that,

602
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: and with our indo Lab podcast, as we've done it,

603
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: we get into the season a little bit easier to

604
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: do it. We essentially break down the win or lost

605
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: the previous game, and then we start previewing the next game,

606
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: this one being Jacksonville. So for this one, Drew decided

607
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: to quiz me at sort of a numerica level, if

608
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: you will. His point being, these two teams, in particular,

609
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: the two defenses might be a little bit closer than

610
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: you think. When you think of Jacksonville and you think

611
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: of us, you think, yeah, those are two different teams, right, Well,

612
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: Drew's point, statistically, we're a little bit closer to one

613
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: another than some might think. So here's a portion of

614
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: our in lap podcast. You want to hear the whole podcast,

615
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: So we talk a lot about the special teams against

616
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo and what they were able to do. So longer

617
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: form podcast, you can hear iTunes, stitch your tune in.

618
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: However you get your podcast, go leave a review. But

619
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: you get all the podcasts in the Loop, in the

620
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: Lab and Vanderbury's View and Deep Slant. All right there,

621
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: go check them out. Appreciate you guys listening. But here's

622
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: Drew and I from our In the Lab podcast this week.

623
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: Let's move ahead because the Jaguars they don't really care

624
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: about the special teams yet they do, but they don't

625
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: care about our discussion. And this is who is coming

626
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: up for you. So, John, we're gonna play a little

627
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: game here where I'm gonna give you a stat and

628
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have you tell me whether or not the

629
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: Texans or the Jaguars are this stat this team, John,

630
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: to start off, all right, is nineteen in yards per

631
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: play in the NFL at five point six nine by

632
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: the Jags or by the Texans. Nineteenth in yards per play. Yeah,

633
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that's the Texans. And I'll tell you

634
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: why I say that. The Texans are one of the

635
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: leaders in the league at plays total plays. They were

636
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: at least going into the game the other day. They're

637
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: one of the leaders in the league at total plays.

638
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: So I'm just doing a math dive on this, thinking

639
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: they're down at nineteen, and it says it down they're

640
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: at nineteen because they've run so many plays. So that's

641
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: why I'm going, I'm going, Texans, you're actually wrong, you're

642
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: close because that was five point six nine at nineteen.

643
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: Texans are five point six six, so they're twenty first

644
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: in the league. So these teams are My logic actually

645
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: applies in some sense. These teams are very close in

646
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: that regard. Think about it. You got DeShawn Watson, who

647
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: I think we all characterize this guy who's very explosive,

648
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: gets the ball down the field, does some great things.

649
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: They're they're getting downfield evidently as well, or they're they're

650
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: getting good chunk plays because they have fewer plays. Yes,

651
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: because they have fewer plays. Okay, this team is eleventh

652
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL in yards per game on offense at

653
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: three eight point eight. Am I the Texans or am

654
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: I the Jacks? Eleventh in the league? Yet offense, I

655
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: think the Texans are higher overall. Although last week was

656
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: going to drop them a peg, I'm gonna say it's Jacksonville.

657
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: John Jacksonville gets three hundred and seventy one yards per play.

658
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: They're sixteenth. The Texans are eleven three eighty twenty. This

659
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: is a trick. They were a little higher. I know

660
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: they were a little higher. I'm and basically the point

661
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: of this whole little exercises these teams are very very

662
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: evenly matched. Just numbers. Why stats wise, Okay, I'm not

663
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: saying they're they're they're the mirror images of each other.

664
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's interesting in all these things. Okay,

665
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: points per game. This team is scoring eighteen point two

666
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: points per game? Which is it? John Man, I could

667
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: do the math. Watch I'm gonna do the math in

668
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: this really quick. Twenty seven plus seventeen is forty four

669
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: plus twenty two is sixty six. Sixty six plus thirty

670
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: seven is one oh three. One oh three plus nineteen

671
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: is one twenty two one twenty two plus twenty one,

672
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: forty two and forty two divided by six is over twenty.

673
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: So that's gotta be the Jaguars. It is eighteen point

674
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: two points per game. That's twenty ninth in the league.

675
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: Texans are twenty first. They're scoring about twenty two and

676
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: a half per game, So that's an interesting thing. First,

677
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: big difference sor you're scoring about four more points per

678
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: game than these guys. All right, now, let's go over

679
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: to the defense, because I think we can both agree

680
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: both these teams right now, you can hang your hat

681
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: on some pretty darn good defensive efforts. Yes, okay, you know,

682
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not even a quiz on this, you know

683
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: that that the Jags are second in the league in

684
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: yards per game allowed. Yeah, there's an interesting tweeter I

685
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: want to read to you in a little bit, just

686
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: the Gosselin one. Yeah, yeah, I did. That's a pretty

687
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: amazing tweet. Yeah, we'll get to that in a second. Okay,

688
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: Rick Goslin, by the way, I used to work kind

689
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: of kind of with him in a sense we would

690
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: have him on the show that we produced in Dallas.

691
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: I consider him one of up with John McClain, you know,

692
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: one of the NFL riders, best NFL riders around, all right, John.

693
00:33:54,440 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: Rushing yards per game, This team is tenth best in

694
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: the NFL at rushing yards allowed per game. Rushing yards

695
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: allowed ninety five point eight. That's the Texas, That's right.

696
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: You know what. You can run on the Jags to

697
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: a degree. One hundred eighteen point seven. They're twenty second

698
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: in the league. They're getting away with it there, all right.

699
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: Let's flip things over though. Against the pass. This team's

700
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: giving up one hundred eighty seven point eight yards per game.

701
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: That's the Jacks their first in the NFL in that regard.

702
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's their best best. I guess that's the

703
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: stat They can hang your hat on the best one

704
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: hundred eighty seven. Well, and it makes sense. They got

705
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: a ferocious pass rush and they got the two best

706
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: corners I think in the game. Uh for best corner

707
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: tandem for sure. Okay, point differential per game, John, they

708
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: average almost minus three, meaning other teams are outscoring them

709
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: by three points. Who is that? That's the Jacks. Yeah,

710
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: that's the Jays the league. Yeah, they've they lost thirty four.

711
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: He lost forty to seven, so that accounts for now.

712
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: They beat the Patriots by eleven. So they beat the

713
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: Jets by I think nineteen or twenty or something like that.

714
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: That was the last win that was in that was

715
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: down in the bank as they call it, Tia Stadium,

716
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: and they had to score two points at the end

717
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: of the game, which was a little controversial. But they

718
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: haven't won since then, so I don't know football gods

719
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: smiting them maybe for doing something like that. But either way,

720
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: the the that's where the differential comes from. Whereas for US,

721
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: lost by seven, lost by three, lost by five, one

722
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: by three, one by three, one by seven. We've been

723
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: close every game. Yeah, so literally, I think I think

724
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: we're in negative differential. It just points. I think it's

725
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: minus two if my math is right. Yep, I think

726
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: we're minus two from that perspective. So over six games

727
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: and I'm out of like zero point three points that

728
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: were you know that we trail in that sense, but

729
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: we've played close games. They were all six of been close. Games.

730
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: Have been frustrating because I don't think we have played

731
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: the game that we're capable of playing. But Jacksonville has

732
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: played blowout, blowout, blowout, win or lose. Yeah, they've all

733
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: they've all been that way there. I don't think they've

734
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: had a close game. And because of that, they've allowed

735
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: an average of twenty one point game points per game,

736
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: twenty one point zero points per game. That's ninth in

737
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: the league. Texans, though, are not far off that they've

738
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: only allowed twenty two point eight points per game. That's

739
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: eleventh in league. So I'm not gonna go through all

740
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: these stings like, but basically my point is these teams

741
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: are very They're eerily similar statistically, yet when you look

742
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: at how they've won and lost, they couldn't be more different. Yeah, exactly.

743
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: It's funny. I saw I saw one of the Texas coaches.

744
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: Did you get him? Got him? Yeah, he's bothering me

745
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: over here too, So take one for the team. I

746
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: saw one of the Texas coaches the other day and

747
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: I was kind of talking about the game against Buffalo,

748
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: and I started talking about the game against Jacksonville and

749
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: he said, you know, it's gonna be similar to this one.

750
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: And when you think about it, when you really think

751
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: about it, that's true. Buffalo and Jacksonville are very, very

752
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: similar with the reception of Bortles has more experience than

753
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen or Nathan Peterman, and he's won some big

754
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: games in the playoffs. But other than that, they're pretty

755
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: they're pretty similar. It's like that, Listen, you're the only person,

756
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: and you said it last week on this very podcast.

757
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: You're the only person that was really pointing out how

758
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: damn good that Buffalo defense was and we saw it.

759
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean that was a ferocious defense and you know

760
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: what aocious you know what also too, And I think

761
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: this is starting to kind of show its show itself

762
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: a little bit with Jacksonville, you know the one, and

763
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: it's similar with Buffalo. Twenty seventeen Jacksonville defense and twenty

764
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: eighteen Buffalo defense are pretty similar to me. They've got

765
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: a star corner Jalen Ramsey Tredevious White. Now I think

766
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: a j boy is better than Philip Gaines, but they

767
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: got a star corner. They're good at They're really solid

768
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: at safety. I think the one difference between the two

769
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: teams though, is Jacksonville is a little bit more athletic,

770
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: but Buffalo is way more disciplined. So the things that

771
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: you can maybe get away with against Jacksonville just because

772
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: they're on discipline, you're not gonna get away with Buffalo,

773
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: but you'll be able to take advantage of some of

774
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: their holes athletically on that side of the ball. But

775
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen Buffalo or twenty seventeen jackson twenty eighteen Buffalo,

776
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: no injuries, none, They were fresh. In the fourth quarter,

777
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: they were rotating their lines like one of defensive line

778
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: will go in, one defensive line will go out, and

779
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: they would just rotate. They were fresh as could be.

780
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: They're not fresh anymore because Klais Campbell. That's what I'm saying. Yeah,

781
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Kalaise Campbell went down against Dallas

782
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: two games ago. Jalen Ramsey had to leave the game

783
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: for a little bit. He played banged up last week.

784
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: So you're not getting Jalen Ramsey at full on Jalen

785
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: Ramsey level right now. So that's where you could maybe

786
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 1: make some hay against Yeah, and you hope that's the case.

787
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen was dragging his leg around a little

788
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: bit in the second half the other day and you

789
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen there. And Klais did come

790
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: back in the game and played. So who's to say,

791
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: but that defense still even with that the point being

792
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen with Jacksonville, everybody, yeah, Jackson the jackson

793
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: defense was great. But when you have the same group

794
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: week after week after week after week, play after play

795
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: after play after play, your team can get better. It

796
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: can get better, especially when you have explosive athletes like that.

797
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: They were on the field together. They were on the

798
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 1: field every day, play with each other, and that's gonna

799
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: make you better. I don't care who you got in

800
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: this league. If you can stay injury free, you're you

801
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: got a shot. I don't care what you have going on,

802
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: you have a shot. Even the Bills, with a really

803
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: difficult quarterback situation, they've got a shot because they're staying healthy.

804
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: Now there's just across the board and the team. But

805
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: even with Jacksonville's offense last year, they didn't lose much.

806
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: But this year they've already lost Cam Robinson. They they're

807
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: under they had lost a backup tackle, so now they're

808
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: under third tackle who used to be a backup guard here,

809
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: Josh Walker. So they're now. Fournett's been out, so they've

810
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: suffered from injuries and so now they're seeing what it

811
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: is like when you gotta go to your depth. And

812
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: obviously the last couple of weeks it's not it's not

813
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: been very good. So the Texans are not obviously one

814
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy. But knock on wood, the stars, the

815
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: guys that the starters, those guys are staying healthy. It's

816
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: impacted your depth. I would love Dylan Cole would love

817
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: to have Aaron Colvin, Brian Peterson special teams, but you

818
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: just don't. So think about it. You gotta go. Last

819
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: time you're in Jacksonville. You didn't have Deshaun Watson, you

820
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: didn't have JJ Watt, you didn't have Whitney Merciless. Nick

821
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: Martin got hurt in a third quarter. Yep. DJ Reader

822
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: got hurt. Yeah late, I think later he got hurt

823
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: in that game. So he had You were without a lot. Basically,

824
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't have ty Matthew. You didn't have

825
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew and Justine had a completely different offense. Jackson

826
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: was playing corner, Zach Foldon was a chief, Senel Callamette

827
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: was a Saint. I mean, you know, Julian and I

828
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: was not starting at that point. Obviously Kendall was not

829
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: playing at that point. So um that to me again,

830
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, those guys are gonna get it. Uh, They're

831
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna get it again with Yannick and Gockway in particular.

832
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: Goatways though one guy, I mean Lee Jackson. Clay's Campbell's

833
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: very difficult to block. But I think a guy like

834
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Julian will see how he fares against him with those

835
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: long arms. I mean, I'm sure Campbell's gonna try and

836
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: power through and Goquay is the dude, and Gotway is

837
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: the one that worries me because he kind of the

838
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 1: way that he kind of contorts his body and lines

839
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: up with the line of scrimmage. It looks weird, but man,

840
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: he's got so much pop and explosiveness off the ball

841
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: it's nuts. And he just and he knows it too,

842
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: and he tries to ruin everybody that he goes again.

843
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not talking just off its tackles. He

844
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: tries to ruin quarterbacks when he gets back there. He

845
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: tried to hop on Dak Prescott's back as you're starting

846
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: a ball one time, and I was like, who does that?

847
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: That dude does so and Gotway is the one guy

848
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: to me that worries me, probably more than anybody not

849
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: named Ramsey on that defense. You never worry me, John,

850
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: because you always deliver the goods in the podcast. It's

851
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: fun being with you. I can't wait to go to

852
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville the Texans or three and three, and you know what,

853
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 1: we got the quarterback, all right, He's not one hundred percent,

854
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: but we got him. And anytime he's on the field.

855
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: We have a chance in the Texas no matter what.

856
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: That's right, boys, we certainly do have a chance with

857
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: number four on the field. He has that started against Jacksonville.

858
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: He's only played a halfca he missed the second game

859
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville. So jacksonvilleill get a chance to see him.

860
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: They all said in the locker room afterwards, including Jalen Ramsey,

861
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson just started in Week one last year. Well,

862
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: now they get to see the Shawn Watson up close

863
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: and personal. You were plenty of stats in our in

870
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: play by play voice from the other side. This one

871
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: strikes home. It's two of my favorite people in the world,

872
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: obviously Mark being one of them, but Frank Frangie, that

873
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: played by playvoice of the the Jacksonville Jaguars is somebody I've

874

00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: we have our men behind the Mike's Series, I tell

884
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: you a little bit about the other side. Guys I

885
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: love to listen to. I've listened to Brad Sham for

886
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: a long time. I listened to Bob Socy unfortunately, because

887
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,479
Speaker 1: we have heard so much and I got the chance

888
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: to meet Bob at the combine. So many guys, Mike

889
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: Keith of the Tennessee Titans, even though Matt Taylor from

890
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: the Colts. But this guy, the man behind the Mike

891
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville, somebody I've known for about twenty five years,

892
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: having lived in Jacksonville where I coached football there and

893
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: got to know Frank Frangie and Frank took over the

894
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: play I played job I believe in twenty fourteen. I

895
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: believe that was a year he took over and he

896
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: has been the man behind the mike in Jacksonville ever since.

897
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: And Mark Vannermer had a chance to catch up with

898
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: him and get his thoughts on everything going on at

899
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and how Jacksonville is going to try and move

900
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: the football with the many injuries they've had. Frank, how

901
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: you hanging in there during this little losing streak that

902
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: the Jags are having. Yeah, Mark, good to be on

903
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: with you. Thanks for thanks for having me a little bit.

904
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: It's been a little bit of a grind. Now, it's

905
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: not just a losing streak. Our guys have gotten it

906
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: put on him the last couple of weeks. And look,

907
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: it's a season of expectations around here. You know that

908
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: they were five minutes from the super Bowl last year.

909
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: I got off to a three and one start this year.

910
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a little bit of a grind. I

911
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: think this was the most uncharacteristic performance, Mark was last week.

912
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: You go to Kansas City, they're flying high. You knew

913
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: that was going to be tough, but we thought they'd

914
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: played better against the Cowboys last week. So yeah, I

915
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: think everybody's kind of resetting a little bit and seeing

916
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: where they are, what is going on with the defense,

917
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: because you have all the talent, but you had some issues.

918
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: Now the Chiefs are going to give everybody fits. The Cowboys, however,

919
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: might be a different story. So what do you think

920
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: about that side of the ball? Frank, you know what, Mark,

921
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: And then that's been a big discussion around here that

922
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: it certainly didn't look like a dominant defense and in

923
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: all world defense and the other day we all know that,

924
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: but I will we all have a different position on it.

925
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: The Jaguar offense had two first downs in the first

926
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: half from r two two first downs, and one of

927
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: the punts was a thirty yard punt followed by a

928
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: ten yard holding on the punting team. So the twenty

929
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: yard that punt. If your offense is going to have

930
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: two first downs two in the first half and your

931
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: putter is not putting me out of trouble at some

932
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: point in today's NFL, where all the rules are geared

933
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: toward offense, you're gonna collapse a little bit. I And yes,

934
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: towards the end, the Jaguars defense wasn't very good. It

935
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't a dominating defense. And the defense we all

936
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: thought this was a defense of the ages and it

937
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: didn't play that way. But in today's NFL, the offense

938
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: has to help a little bit, man, And I think

939
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: the group here that's really struggling is this defensive groups.

940
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: So the defense here will be fine. It's a good defense.

941
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: They've got to make some adjustment. They've got to play

942
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: a little better. But the big question here's what are

943
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: they gonna do on offense? All right, Well, let's talk

944
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: about that side of the ball then, And Blake Bortles

945
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: is always a subject of conversation around the league, and

946
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure in North Florida as well. So what's the

947
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: latest on Blake? Who can look very good at times?

948
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: You know, the AFC Championship game to win over the Patriots.

949
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: What are you thinking lately with Blake Bortles? Frank, Well,

950
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: let me put it in perspective, and it'll sound like

951
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: an excuse, Mark, but you and I've know a long time,

952
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: and I try and call it as great as I can. Here,

953
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: let me put it in perspective, and the way I

954
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: asked you, they lost Marquise Lee, their best receiver. They've

955
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: now lost Austin Seferie and Jenkins their best tight end

956
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: and maybe only time. They lost Cam Robinson their best

957
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: left tackle. They lost Josh Wells, his backup left tackle.

958
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: They lost Leonard Fournette, probably their best player on offense.

959
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: They lost Corey Grant, a very important backup running back.

960
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: And you've got to get out in space. That's eight guys,

961
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: seven guys. That's a lot of guys man for any

962
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: offense to lose all of a sudden. Now, the receivers

963
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: are ordinary, there's no tight end to speak of. T J.

964
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: Elden's a nice back. TJ has done a good job

965
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: for this team, but he's probably a better off back.

966
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: He's probably a better third down back and back up

967
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: than he is the lead guy. So Blake has not

968
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: had much help. There's not the players around him that

969
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: some some of the successful quarterbacks have had. There's not

970
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: a DeAndre Hopkins around here. Bro I can tell you

971
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: that all right. So I think because of that, he

972
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: hasn't had much help. And I think Blake has gotten

973
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: to where the pocket is collapsing so fast that he's

974
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: not trusting his protection. I think he's leaving too soon.

975
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: I think he's not letting passes developed sometimes that he

976
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have time or patterns developed because he doesn't have time.

977
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: So I think it's more than just Blake. And yes,

978
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: Blake has played badly. He's some some very bad balls

979
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: at the time. But Blake is a guy Mark that

980
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: when properly surrounded, when they're playing ball control and punning

981
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: and playing defense and you need to make enough players

982
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: to win, he can get you awfully close to the

983
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: promise mine. We saw that last year. I don't know

984
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: that when the left tackles out, of the best receivers out,

985
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: the best tight ends out, the best running backed out,

986
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: the backup running backed out. I don't know that Blake

987
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: can carry you on his shoulders by himself. I don't

988
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: think he's there yet. He's twenty six years old. I

989
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: think he's played okay, probably not as badly as someone's

990
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: suggest but the whole offensive struggled. Well. Not too many

991
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: guys could carry you in that situation. Frank, all right,

992
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: let's go here. Now. Everyone saw the Jail and Ramsey video.

993
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: He's a terrific player. What do you think happens to

994
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: the culture around the team in the locker room if

995
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 1: the losing continues. What are your thoughts on that part

996
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: of the equation. You know, I think they're a pretty

997
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: close group. Even two years I've been til the last year,

998
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: the losing did continue. There were a three win team

999
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: until last season, and I never thought there was there

1000
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: were problems in the locker room. There wasn't dissension, there

1001
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of infighting. I've been around this team

1002
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: a while now and I never got that sense. So

1003
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: I think that part's gonna be able. Jalen's ticked off,

1004
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: Telvin Smiths ticked off Calais is kind of the older

1005
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: statement in there. He's kind of rallied everybody together. But

1006
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: that won't be a problem. There's a lot of finger pointing.

1007
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of there has against Young and

1008
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: the early in the season, but I've seen most of

1009
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: this group mark go through bad times before, and that's

1010
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: not been a problem for these guys. They've just got

1011
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: to play better. And again, I think the defense can

1012
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: play better, but the defense has to get some help

1013
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: from this offense, which is really struggling. All right, let's

1014
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: go over some of the seasons so far. You play

1015
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: the Titans and you lost, and that was a bit

1016
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: of a surprise to people. The Texans were surprised. I'll

1017
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: put that in air quotes by them as well. Week two.

1018
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: What did you think of that one? What do you

1019
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: think of the Tennessee Titans. They just lost to Baltimore

1020
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: and they lost a Buffalo of course, but they've got

1021
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 1: a team that can scare some people on defense. Anyway,

1022
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts? They play well against us. Sometime

1023
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: our team plays well against the Steelers. I would have

1024
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: ultimate confidence. Every time the Jackworth played. The Steelers beat

1025
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: them twice last year in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Steelers have only

1026
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: been in their history of their franchise have only been

1027
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: beaten twice in their city by the same team. It's

1028
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: only twice ever, and Jacksonville did at both times those

1029
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: seven and last year. The Jags play well against him.

1030
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough, Mark, they know why that is

1031
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: sometimes that they do. The Titans play well against the Jaguars.

1032
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: They played with an air of confidence. They also have

1033
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: something that the Jaguars don't play well against, which is

1034
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: the same thing that Houston Texans have, and that is

1035
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback who they move a lot around the

1036
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: pocket out of the pocket naked bootleg. That naked bootleg

1037
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: has been the kryptonite for this Jaguars defense. They lost

1038
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: last year to Arizona because they moved Blaine Gabbart out

1039
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: of the pocket. They lost to San Francisco because Jimmy

1040
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: Garoppolo ran a lot of those naked bootlegs. Marcus Mariota

1041
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: runs those set pat Mahomes ran that two weeks ago

1042
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: Dak Obviously, it's a big part of his offense when

1043
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: there's a big, strong arms quarterback sitting in the pocket.

1044
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: The Jags are very good. They walloped the Patriots this year,

1045
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: even though the guy's the best player of all time,

1046
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: and frankly should have been the last year in the playoffs, Mark,

1047
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: you saw the game, they should have won it. So

1048
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: they have stuffed Brady the last two times they played

1049
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: him because he's a statue in the pocket, even though

1050
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: he's a great, great player, mobile quarterback who coordinators can

1051
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: get on the edge. A lot of that naked boot

1052
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: stuff has really bothered this team and that's what Tennessee

1053
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: does very well. What do you think of the matchup

1054
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: this week with the Texans. What are the Jags people

1055
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: saying about Houston and what are your thoughts looking at

1056
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: it from here, the Jags are playing a third team

1057
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: left tackle, an undrafted guy named Josh Walker. Now they

1058
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: signed Eric Flower and maybe he gets in there song,

1059
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: But as of today, a third team undrafted guy, Josh Walker,

1060
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: who's got to play because the second team undrafted guy

1061
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: Josh Wells was hurt after backing up the first team

1062
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: guy Cam Robinson. That guy's got to block to Devian Clowney.

1063
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: That's one thing we think about around here. Jeremy Parnell

1064
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: has struggled a little bit and pass bro he's got

1065
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: to block JJ Watt. I think there's great respect around

1066
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: here for the Texans defense. I think everybody around here

1067
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: knows that group is really good. The Texans also are

1068
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: planned are playing well. They've won three games in a row,

1069
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: and at some point Deshaun Watson's going to start taking

1070
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: over games, whether that this week, next week, or down

1071
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: the road. So I think there's a great deal of

1072
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: respect to the Texans around here. Me watching from Afar,

1073
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,479
Speaker 1: I think the Texans don't have a great offensive line,

1074
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: but they've got a young quarterback who I think setting

1075
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: better every day. I think they may have the best

1076
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: receive in the league. I probably think Antonio Brown's best

1077
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: receive in the league, but I think DeAndre Hopkins is

1078
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 1: right there. Great receiver, young inspired a young, improving quarterback

1079
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: in a really good defense. Oh yeah, I think the

1080
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: Jags are gonna third. All right. Now, what about Doug

1081
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: Maron because I think he's a good coach. I think

1082
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: he's a winner, but he's got a tough situation here.

1083
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 1: What about moving forward forward? With Maron leading the troops?

1084
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: Up until last week, Doug morons, the Jaguars under Maron

1085
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 1: were eight and one in game in weeks where they lost.

1086
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: A week before coming off a loss, the Jags were

1087
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: eight and one under Maron before losing to the Cowboys lastly. Now,

1088
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: obviously they're two. So he's done a pretty good job

1089
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: of rallying the troops when things are down. That's a

1090
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: strength of really break guy, I mean really really break guy.

1091
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: Mark and Bill O'Brien doesn't. Well, they're they're they're best friends,

1092
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: are going up, so they know each other. But Doug

1093
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: is a really bright guy. I understands the psychology that

1094
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: probably both any coach I've ever been around, So he's

1095
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: good at that. Having said that, they got problems. You know,

1096
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: there's a struggling football team. Without getting too cliche on you,

1097
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: they've got to go back to the drawing board at

1098
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: all we say, I apologize, but they got to kind

1099
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: of reset, you know what I mean. Mark, They gotta

1100
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: go back and say, look where were we two three

1101
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago, when we were three and one, when we

1102
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: finished strong last year. Let's go back, let's watch that tape,

1103
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: let's find let's rEFInd that team. And I think that's

1104
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: what these Jags need to do. Frank, great stuff. We

1105
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Okay, Mark,

1106
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: look forward to it. Thanks for having me on. There

1107
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: is the voice that Jacksonville Jaguars, Frank Frangie, and essentially

1108
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: he's been the guy down in Jacksonville for a very

1109
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: long time. In fact, I really started listening to sports

1110
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: talk radio when I moved to Jacksonville. That was what

1111
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: I first started listening to, and Frank was always on

1112
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: in the afternoons when I was leaving from practice, leaving

1113
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: in the school, I would listen to Frank and I'm

1114
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of his. He's such a great guy.

1115
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: I see him at the combine and we talked about

1116
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: all things going on. Jacksonville asked, obviously, how I'm doing,

1117
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: how my family's doing. I'm thinking about my wife at

1118
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: one point. So he's a tremendous guy. I hate that

1119
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: he's on the other side of this one, but I

1120
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting when Mark started the conversation asking

1121
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: him about how how's it going. And the Jaguars have

1122
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: seen some pre lean years. Obviously the fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

1123
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: those are those are rough years. I think three wins,

1124
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 1: four wins, five wins. I don't think they got above

1125
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: five wins. But the twenty sixteen year was really difficult.

1126
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: They lost here in that game too. It was twenty

1127
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: one twenty but they had at twenty to seven lead.

1128
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: I think in that game, Bracket throwing all kinds of interceptions.

1129
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: Savage had to come into the game essentially saved the

1130
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: season at that point, and Gus Bradley got fired before

1131
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: the plane even took off, and that team finished three

1132
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: and thirteen. Now they helped us out because the next

1133
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: week the Jaguar beat the Tennessee Titans and that allowed

1134
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: us to clinch the Vision. That night against the SINSETI Bengals.

1135
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: But the point being, once you have tasted the success

1136
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,479
Speaker 1: and you have all these players coming back, as Jacksonville does,

1137
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: especially on the defensive side of the ball, then it's

1138
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: tough to go back. It really is. So I think

1139
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: that's the difficult part here, is you taste it. You

1140
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 1: went to AFC championship game, you all these players coming back,

1141
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: You're thinking, we're not only gonna go back to AFC

1142
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: championship game, We're going beyond that. So I think that's

1143
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: the that's the thought of the Jaguars going in and

1144
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they stubbed their toe, and

1145
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: only stubbed their toe they could beat pretty soundly in

1146
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: two those games in Kansas City and Dallas. And Kansas

1147
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: City obviously a team that's gonna be right there in

1148
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 1: the AFAC race for Sharon Dallas, a team those two

1149
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: and three heading into that game, I can imagine Frank's like, no,

1150
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, we're not We're not going back

1151
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: to this five and eleven stuff or three and thirteen stuff.

1152
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, I can see where the Jaguars

1153
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: and especially Gully Frank, who's been around it for a

1154
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: long time and been calling games there since twenty fourteen.

1155
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: They don't want to see this thing go back down

1156
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: into toilet, if you will. So they see this one,

1157
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: obviously against the Texans, as being a must win, and

1158
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: Texans see it as being a must win. Last year

1159
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: Texans went down to Northeastern Florida and Duval County and

1160
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: got it handed to them, handed to them. They obviously

1161
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: want to make amends. And these are players that all

1162
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: know each other. I mean, Hopkins and Ramsey have gone

1163
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: against each other for what three years would be a

1164
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: third year now this to be their fifth meeting. They

1165
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: love going against each other. Jayan Ramsey played against the

1166
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson in college, so there are players that know

1167
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: each other. And of course two meetings last year didn't

1168
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: go to Texans way. But see what happens on Sunday,

1169
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to looking forward to seeing Frank as well.

1170
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,399
Speaker 1: All right, we get back Mark, she has jump into

1171
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: the studio with me and we'll discuss this Jaguars game

1172
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: going to Duval County and any Land yapp we have

1173
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo win Sunday, Texas All Access rolls on.

1174
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access

1175
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 1: from the Monday Texans Radio studio. I'm your host, John Harris,

1176
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: Footplanoffs Sildon Reporter and one of my favorite segments of

1177
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: the week when I get a chance to catch up

1178
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: with the voice of the Texans and my boss, Mark

1179
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: Van of Biermark, how you doing. I don't look at

1180
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: it that way, Johnny. You're the boss of me. You're

1181
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: the guy with all the knowledge. Remember that ESPN commercial,

1182
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: the promo I'm getting Knowledge, and it was this big

1183
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: furry guy or something you know it was. It was

1184
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: right out of the Sendac novel. It was kind of funny.

1185
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of did you see today on Twitter? This is

1186
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this. During the NBA Finals,

1187
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant did a show for what he called They

1188
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: called it Details. The thing. It was called Details, and

1189
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: he would basically break down exus and ohs, just a

1190
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: video of himself talking about different things in the game.

1191
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: And so he had his film. I guess he's got

1192
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: a production company. They would do all the graphics and

1193
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: all that, and so Kobe would do this and it

1194
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: was on ESPN Plus. Well, they're about to take it

1195

Speaker 1: that's at the core of the show. I'm honored to

1213
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: help expand Kobe's Detail to a football audience has Peyton

1214
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: talked much about why he's not trying to run a team,

1215
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: not that I know of. No, I've not hurt anything

1216
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: as it pertains to that. I'm I'm curious. Maybe he's

1217
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: waiting for the right opportunity. Maybe it's not something he

1218
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: wants to do. Maybe like when we played the Giants,

1219
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 1: standing on the sideline, I was waiting for Brian Gaine

1220
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: because I always get Brian for a few minutes before

1221
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: the game. So I was waiting for Brian gain around

1222
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: midfield and I just see this guy and like six

1223
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: to five, just kind of Cormiac tell he's tall, and

1224
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: I look over. It's Peyton. He's just here, and he's

1225
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: here because it's Eli. So he's coming to see Eli.

1226
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: That's why Eli played so well that day. This is

1227
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: like bo All, it's all coming out. It's like Corleone

1228
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: testifying in front of the Senate and then the brother

1229
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: of Frank Pantangeli comes in and everything changes. That's exactly

1230
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: what happened that day. Yes, oh no. And maybe that

1231
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: allows and maybe this is one of the things that

1232
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: allows Peyton to stay around the game of football, study

1233
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: it the way that he wants, but not have to

1234
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: be in the gritty details with a team at that point.

1235
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, So we'll see it is it is

1236
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: gritty details, And I'm sure you know, he could call

1237
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: up Elway at any time and say, all right, tell

1238
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: me what it's like, tell me what it's like, what

1239
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: do you think, what do you go through? You know,

1240
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: and then he can make a good decision as to

1241
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: whether he would like it or not. Yeah, you know,

1242
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: this is what you could. Elway could definitely tell him

1243
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: everything about what you're gonna face, what it's gonna be like,

1244
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: the daily grind of it. It's not like being a coach,

1245
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: but there's still very much of a grind. So it

1246
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: would be good information for him to get. And my

1247
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: guess is he grew up in New Orleans, played collegeball Tennessee,

1248
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: he played Indianapolis, and he finished in Denver. I mean,

1249
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Payton's got money, he can go anywhere. Everyone thought Tennessee. Yeah,

1250
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: but John Robinson, they've got it kind of going on

1251
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: in Nashville there. So I mean, maybe he's looking for

1252
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: the perfect to sit in air quotes, the perfect opportunity. Well,

1253
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: he would run control, right, I would think so. If

1254
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: you're Payton Manning and look it is Peyton Manning. But

1255
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: if I'm an owner, am I ready to just say okay,

1256
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: go ahead, take over completely. You have full control. I'll

1257
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,479
Speaker 1: let you make every decision, which is what he would want.

1258
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna happen. Maybe it would,

1259
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,439
Speaker 1: But it's different than say, Jacksonville with Tom Coughlin. Tom

1260
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Coughlin has done it. He's got skins on the wall. Yeah,

1261
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: he's got skins. He's been around different organizations, He's seen

1262
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: what works, what doesn't work. He's not only the two

1263
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowls with the Giants, but people forget he went

1264
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: the two AFC Championship games with the Jacksonville Chadars. But

1265
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: the funny thing, Johnny is he goes into Jacksonville, and

1266
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: funny enough, we're playing them this week. He goes into

1267
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Dave Caldwell still there is the GM. So

1268
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: I imagine Coughlin has veto power over everything. I don't

1269
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: know what kind of freedom total free him and freedom

1270
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: that Dave Caldwell has. I would imagine that he's got

1271
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: to run a lot of stuff by upstairs, if you

1272
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But cald Bill's got a gig,

1273
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: so I don't think he's gonna complain too much. I

1274
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: would figure I saw this, and the Texans obviously played

1275
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 1: Jackson this weekend, and I think about how things could

1276
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: could be different on a number of different levels, and

1277
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: I think about how the twenty seventeen draft shook out.

1278
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: I never, at any point mock Leonard Fournette to the Jaguars,

1279
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: even though it felt like all along it was a

1280
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: fatal company like Leonard Fournett's going into the Jaguars. And

1281
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I saw somewhere on Twitter, and obviously Blake has struggled

1282
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. I put up some yards against

1283
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City, not not much if any against Dallas. But

1284
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: that was a draft in which, after Mitchell Trubisky went

1285
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: with the second pick, the Jacks had their pick of

1286
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or DeShawn Watson. They had the pick of

1287
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: either one, and they decided to go with the running

1288
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: back right there in Leonard Fournette. Now we don't know

1289
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: what Leonard's status will be. He's not apparently going to

1290
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, and the thought is they wanted to

1291
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: see him practice pretty much full go before they would

1292
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: have him in a game. So we'll see. Maron said

1293
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: that he is possibly gonna practice. He's gonna try and

1294
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday and see if they get him ready

1295
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: for the game on Sunday. That's said, How are things different?

1296
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: You think if number four is wearing a Jacksonville jersey

1297
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: and net wearing a Texans jersey. I think I just

1298
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: threw up a little bit. I think so too, Yeah,

1299
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: Holmes as well Mahome. That you have either guy right there,

1300
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: and look, it's so early in the career of Watson

1301
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: and Mahomes it is, and Fournette, but they look really good,

1302
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: both those quarterbacks. And Fournette looks good too, but he's

1303
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: hurt a lot, which is an issue obviously, And with

1304
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: running backs that clock. You know, running back years are

1305
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: very different from quarterback years, as you know, so you know,

1306
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: you miss a half a season here, a season there,

1307
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, that's a quarter of your

1308
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: of your prime really almost depending on the back, I

1309
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: get it, but most backs, and I don't know what

1310
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: would have happened. Obviously, the Texans would have been in

1311
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: a very interesting situation, and so with the Chiefs, because

1312
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs ended up getting Mahomes and they could have

1313
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: gotten them anyway you would think. But maybe the Texans

1314
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 1: feel like, well, if Mahomes or Watson, if both, if

1315
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 1: one of those guys is gone, they are sitting there

1316
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: way back in the first round wanting to move up,

1317
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: and do they make that deal with who was it

1318
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Arizona that Kansas City moved up with in Arizona ended

1319
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,439
Speaker 1: up getting Rosen this week? Look these things. I love

1320
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: it when these things work out for teams because then

1321
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: you can talk about it for years. Imagine, you know,

1322
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: we go back to two thousand and four, you go

1323
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: back to some of the other quarterbacks that were taken

1324
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: that worked out pretty well, you know, with guys like

1325
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Brady Montana was a third round draft choice. With guys

1326
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: like that, you can talk about a bunch of different

1327
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: scenarios because so many teams whiffed on those players. I

1328
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: just think about and I just in my mind, I

1329
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: did a quick closed eyes and tried to put to

1330
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: Sean and Teal and I think I'm with it right

1331
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: there with you out Oh gosh, I would throw up. Well,

1332
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: we were worried about Lamar Jackson on draft night. I

1333
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: know this past year they've passed on quarterbacks for the

1334
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: last two years. And look, if you watch Jacksonville, it's

1335
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: it's not all about Blake. Now, Blake has made his mistakes,

1336
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: and he made plenty of him in Kansas City in particular.

1337
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: It's not all on Blake. He's lost his left tackle.

1338
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Fournett's banged up, apparently, tj Yelden is not going to

1339
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday today. He's got Ustin's Ferry, Jenkins's tight

1340
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: end is out. He's thrown to James A. Shaughnessy. So

1341
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: he's got no receivers that you know by name. Now

1342
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: they've got some talent, but they there's no receiver and

1343
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: they're not reliable. They don't catch the ball all the times.

1344
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: The guys who are sleeping in the cars in practice

1345
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: squad days with the Jags, Yeah, that was Jis. He's

1346
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,919
Speaker 1: not seen the field as much. Well, wasn't healing Cole

1347
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: also in a car or something he might he might have,

1348
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: but he looked good against the Texans in that game.

1349
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Latenst soon as it did. And that's the thing. I

1350
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: think these guys they could have two bum weeks on

1351
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: the road and then come back home and they could

1352
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: look like the combination DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Junior.

1353
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean they could just catch everything. I'll roll that

1354
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: back a couple of plays here and there in a game.

1355
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: I project this game to be a teens kind of

1356
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: game too. So you make one or two big plays

1357
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: for either team, it's over, right, yeah, especially you know

1358
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: you get to the halfway through the third quarter, fourth quarter,

1359
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: you make a big play, it could be the deciding play.

1360
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: So I'm a little concerned about that kind of thing obviously,

1361
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: and I always will be. Um. You know, you'd love

1362
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:18,439
Speaker 1: to have a lead in one of these games where

1363
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: you can protect it and have and nurture a double

1364
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,919
Speaker 1: figured lead, like I hope they would against Buffalo. Think

1365
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: about this. Two of their wins in this win streak,

1366
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: they led it to half, they lost the lead and

1367
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:33,919
Speaker 1: got it back the Texans, Yes, because the Colts. That happened. Yeah,

1368
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,959
Speaker 1: oh gosh. Yeah, and a big lead. They double digit

1369
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: lead at halftime one ten. They were up twenty one ten.

1370
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: Then they had the third quarter eight minute drive, nine

1371
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: minute drive and they went up twenty eight ten, and

1372
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 1: we thought it was over, but it wasn't. They double

1373
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: figure leads in both of those. Yeah, and you know

1374
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 1: they let the other team back in by making silly

1375
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: mistakes on offense, and they can't afford to do that

1376
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: in both games. In both both games they've done that,

1377
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: They've done that same thing. Is it as obvious mark

1378
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: to say the biggest concern is how do you block

1379
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: them up front? Is that the biggest concern to you?

1380
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: And this one, well, I would ask you that, but

1381
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: I think to me it's yes, if I can just

1382
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: get Watson a little bit of time, and again we

1383
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: talk about one or two big plays. I'm not even

1384
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: saying you need three four touchdowns to win this game.

1385
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,439
Speaker 1: I think twenty points wins this game, So go out

1386
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: and get me twenty. But it's not enough to say twenty,

1387
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: does it. I'm gonna have to hold the ball a

1388
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: little bit here, you know. So even if I have

1389
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: some drives that stall out and fair Barns gotta kick

1390
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: a field goal, I'm okay. I consume clock. I kept

1391
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: the ball away from their offense whatever they're putting out

1392
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: their offensively, And I still think that this is the

1393
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: kind of game. I think it'll be similar to the

1394
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo game, except you're on the road and Jacksonville does

1395
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: play better. What are the point totals, they're twenty twelve

1396
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: and nine I think, yeah, at home are the opponent

1397
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: point totals, and nine was in a loss for the Jaguars.

1398
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: They held the Titans to nine points but lost the

1399
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: game ninety six. So they played d at home. This

1400
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: is a different home field advantage than we're accustomed to

1401
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: in North Florida, and it is the biggest game these

1402
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: two teams I've ever played collectively between them. I was

1403
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: racking my brain really thinking back. You know, we could

1404
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: go over the history of the series. Johnny, There's no

1405
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: game that's quite like this, this late. It's not late

1406
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: in the season, but it is week seven. There's nothing

1407
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: like this between these two teams in their history. Well,

1408
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: if you have told me at O and three, if

1409
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: you would have said, what's what are the odds we

1410
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: go to North floor the odd we go to North

1411
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Florida in week seven and we're playing for first place?

1412
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: What happened? What happened? Did Jacksonville forfeit games? I would

1413
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 1: have said, you need to go to the hospital because

1414
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: you had to have them lose, not only lose, but

1415
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,640
Speaker 1: they lost badly, and then the Texans have got to

1416
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,600
Speaker 1: then win at Indie come back and win on a

1417
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: Sunday night against Dallas, and it turned around after what's

1418
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: going to be a physical, emotional game against Dallas and

1419
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: then beat Buffalo has got a really really good defense

1420
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: and plays that grimy kind of style. You're gonna win

1421
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: all three of those games. It didn't look good and

1422
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Jacksonville are going to end up losing four.

1423
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: That's that's the beauty of this thing. They've they've lost games,

1424
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: You've won games, and here you are with a remarkable

1425
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: opportunity with ten games to go. And I think that

1426
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: too many people are missing that that this Yeah, you

1427
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: got some help, so what thank you for the help.

1428
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: Let's go. Everybody's three and three. Let's move on. And

1429
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of football to play,

1430
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: and not like Bill O'Brian would say, nothing's been determined. Still,

1431
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: you have ten games to go. A lot of different, crazy,

1432
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: wacky things can happen. Yeah, and if you can get

1433
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: to a point where you're playing from ahead and they're

1434
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: chasing you, they've done that before against US. I remember

1435
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: Blake as a rookie in twenty fourteen almost pulling that

1436
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: one out of the bottom his back scramble that got

1437
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 1: them a first and goal at the ten and your

1438
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: whole seasons on the line. And at the time, I mean,

1439
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: I know that making the playoffs that day was going

1440
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 1: to be a tall order because you needed Cleveland to

1441
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: be Baltimore. And Baltimore, although they led in the fourth,

1442
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: glad they did and you have a shot. But the

1443
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: thing is you wanted to have a winning season to

1444
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: just finished strong. And there they were at the ten

1445
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: yard line, first in goal, and he needed your defense

1446
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: to come through. That's what a running quarterback can do.

1447
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 1: That's what I was worried about. I think I brought

1448
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 1: that very playoff last week, maybe to the Buffalo media

1449
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: or something, where you're thinking that kind of thing can

1450
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: happen with a young, mobile, rookie quarterbacker ups what Josh

1451
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Allen was. But they obviously knocked him out of the game.

1452
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Bortles can still do that kind of thing, and he's

1453
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: gonna be desperate. I don't think he's in danger of

1454
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 1: losing his job. Doug Moron was asked about that after

1455
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the Dallas game. They have Cody Kessler, You're not You're

1456
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: not going to Cody kesl Wasn't he the guy who

1457
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: played for Cleveland in that game. I was just talking

1458
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: about or I think he came into the game. He

1459
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: came into the game at some point, I believe because

1460
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: they went from Hogan. I think it went to Kessler

1461
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: in the Cleveland game. But the point being with Boards,

1462
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: it's his job. He's got to work through this. And

1463
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 1: that's my fear is that he against our pass rush.

1464
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: And our pass rush it can be excellent, but our

1465
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: pass rush can also be very volatile. And what I

1466
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: mean is they can fire up field think they're gonna

1467
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 1: get to sack, and that can leave some seams where

1468
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: Blake has been able to exploit them. Over the years. Now,

1469
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: They're also been games like twenty fifteen where JJ had

1470
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 1: a million sacks and got the safety and then we

1471
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: ended up winning that game and going to the winning

1472
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: the AFC South. And then in sixteen that's the day

1473
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: that that Clowney was great against them in sixteen here

1474
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 1: and we had to come from behind, and twenty that

1475
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: was one of the best defensive performances I've ever seen

1476
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: holding them down. But in their stadium, in the bank

1477
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: as they call it in Duval County, that's a whole

1478
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: different animal to have to do. That's a whole different animal.

1479
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: Have to score against them. Mark, appreciate it, Thank you,

1480
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Johnny. Coming up next, it's our good buddy

Speaker 1: Toros Matris Big thanks to Knago Phillips. All right, we

Speaker 1: got one final segment left on the show. And when

1490
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: that is the case and the day is Wednesday, it's

1491
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: like a logic puzzle, you know. It's got to be

1492
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: our good buddy Andre where our game analyst, our goodpal

1493
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 1: college football analyst. He's the best. He caught up with

1494
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: Mark earlier today, joining us right now. It's Andre, where

1495
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: as we've is it weekly, Actually we've visited a couple

1496
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: of times a week, but this is our later in

1497
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: the week visit Dre. How's it going good, good, just

1498
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: ready to continue the winning ways this week, but it'll

1499
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: be a tall order having to travel down to Jacksonville

1500
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: and face a team that's kind of looking for there.

1501
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 1: They're actually in a situation that the Texans were in

1502
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, where they've lost a couple

1503
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: in a row, searching for themselves, and I think being

1504
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: back at home, they're looking forward to that. But this

1505
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be a tough football game. I agree and Drey,

1506
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: when you look at what Dallas was able to do

1507
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: to them, that's interesting to me because Kansas City's one

1508
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: thing at Arrowhead, they gave up a lot of points.

1509
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Kansas City's doing it to everybody, But what about what

1510
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: happened against Dallas. What do you think is going on

1511
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars on the defensive side of the ball anyway, Yeah,

1512
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of there's still respectable numbers where you know,

1513
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: they're only giving up twenty one points a game. They're

1514
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: not giving up a whole lot of yard total yards.

1515
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 1: I think it's just over three hundred in terms of

1516
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the game, but average per game. But it's just something

1517
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 1: missing there, the chemistry. I'm not sure what's going on

1518
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,679
Speaker 1: this season in terms of back from that regard, because

1519
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: there are a lot of the same players that are

1520
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: back from last year in the same place, same same spots,

1521
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: Yet the production seems to be just a little bit off,

1522
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: and it could be a situation where they're just playing

1523
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: too many minutes. Where last year the offense was able

1524
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: to stay on the field, they had a consistent running game.

1525
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to be the case this year. So

1526
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: when you start playing a lot of minutes on defense

1527
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: and the wear and tear starts to show up, and

1528
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: that could be exactly what's going on. What about Blake Bortles,

1529
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: because he played really well against the Texans and the

1530
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: second matchup, and then he plays well in the AFC

1531
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Champion game. He had a good game against the Patriots

1532
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: this year, but then he has some bad games. And

1533
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: I know the running game or lack thereof certainly is

1534
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: a factor there, but he just doesn't seem to have

1535
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: the consistency that they're looking for from him. Yeah, passing

1536
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: lanes aren't there, because when you look at it as

1537
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: a whole, there's a lot of pressure on him and

1538
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: he's never been the quarterback that could just take in

1539
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 1: and shoulder in and go with it. He's always needed

1540
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: a supporting cat. So now you look at it, there's

1541
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: really I don't know that there's a number one receiver there.

1542
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: There a bunch of a couple of good players, but

1543
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: not just they stand out receiver. They can go get

1544
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: him the ball and make plays for him as he's

1545
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 1: had in past years. And you take that mix it

1546
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: with not having Leonard Fournette and consistent running game that

1547
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on Blake Bortles. Andre Deshaun

1548
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,759
Speaker 1: Watson says he's feeling much better this week as opposed

1549
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 1: to last week, but he did play the game and

1550
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: took some hits. And what is your thought on the

1551
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: recovery vary from the injuries that he suffered during the

1552
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: Dallas game. I mean, how long are we looking here

1553
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 1: that he has to live with this? Does this not

1554
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: get better till after the season or can it he'll

1555
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: much during the season. What is your take on that

1556
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 1: now he's going to be in some degree of pain

1557
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: each and every week going forward. I mean, it's just

1558
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: because you're gonna continue to get hit, even if you're

1559
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: not being sacked, which he was quite a few times

1560
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 1: this past weekend. By the bills. You're taking quote, you're

1561
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: taking hits. You're just never really getting the necessary risk

1562
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: until maybe a bye week. The bye week comes up,

1563
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: and that's when he'll get a little bit better. But

1564
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I think even with the injuries he has, there's always

1565
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: going to be some type of significant pain for the

1566
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: remainder of the year, and that's he'll have to play,

1567
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: just play on blood and guts the rest of the season.

1568
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Do you expect kind of a low scoring game in

1569
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: this one with the Jaguars. I mean, that's kind of

1570
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking about. What are you thinking going in? Yeah,

1571
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: I think the team that can establish the running game

1572
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: the quickest will will kind of assert itself early and

1573
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: then it's it's hold on and uh and to actually

1574
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 1: see if you can hold on. And I think that

1575
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: that holds true for both sides. I think both sides

1576
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: will try to do it. It's always a very physical

1577
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 1: football game, especially going there, and none more so than

1578
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: this year when both teams are desperate for a win

1579
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 1: and you know, to try to take it take the

1580
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: reins of the division, so to speak. So this is

1581
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: an important one for everybody involved, and I expect it

1582
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: to be uh. Maybe the most physical game we've seen

1583
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: between these teams in quite some time. Now. I think

1584
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 1: it's no doubt the biggest game that the Texans and

1585
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: Jags have ever played. As far as the importance between

1586
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: the two teams collectively. They have been big in poor

1587
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: games for one or the other somewhere along the line,

1588
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: but both leading the division at this point in the season,

1589
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: week seven. I mean, this is huge and it's always

1590
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 1: been their most competitive rivalry, the Texans. So this is

1591
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Yeah, it really has. I mean, everybody

1592
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: thinks it's Tennessee, it's it is, and it isn't. But

1593
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: when from just the eye test of what we were

1594
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: able to witness on the field, it's always been Jacksonville.

1595
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: Those games have always been physical. Then when you put

1596
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 1: the chance to lead the division on the line, it's

1597
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: a road game for the Texans. Jaguars are coming home

1598
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 1: for the first time in a couple of weeks. They

1599
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: desperately need one. So this is this is as big

1600
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: as it gets between these two teams. Trait in the

1601
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: locker room for the Texans having won three in a row. Now,

1602
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 1: I know that there are a lot of critics and

1603
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: people saying Wow, they should do this better and that,

1604
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: And there's no question they need to improve in a

1605
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: lot of phases of play, no doubt about that. But

1606
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: what does it do to have a three game winning

1607
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: streak for the guys in that locker room knowing they

1608
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: gout it out three victories? Yeah, wins are wins. I

1609
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: mean they're tough to come by in this league. And

1610
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: just as easily as you you snap your finger for

1611
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: a win, you could you could point the other way.

1612
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: So it's actually, you know, you never turn down wins,

1613
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: no matter how you get them. Football is not an

1614
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: easy game and it's never going to be easy to

1615
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: get wins and and start to stack them up on

1616
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: your schedule. Uh. Coach Party told us a long time ago,

1617
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: years ago that successful seasons are are stacked together with

1618
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: with a winning with winning streaks, and if you get

1619
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 1: on a on a roll and start to stack wins

1620
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: together no matter how they come, Uh, that leads to

1621
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: a successful season. And it could go the other way

1622
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: as well. When you get yourself in a position where

1623
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: you start losing games, that's when it's not as successful obviously,

1624
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 1: but you take them as as any way they come. Uh,

1625
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:56,759
Speaker 1: you get out of the building when it hits zero

1626
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: and you're you're leading the game, Uh, it doesn't matter.

1627
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: There's as we say in golf, there's no room on

1628
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, scorecard for comments. It's just what it is,

1629
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: and so you take them, keep it moving till the

1630
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:14,480
Speaker 1: next week. Yeah, give me the ugliest thirty foot put

1631
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,720
Speaker 1: over a beautiful drive and approach shot then not being

1632
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: able to get it in the hole in the required

1633
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: amount of strokes. Right, absolutely, absolutely. I probably clumsily worded that,

1634
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: but I did my best. All Right, college football here

1635
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: for a moment, I can't help but notice that the

1636
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: long Horns and an Aggies are both starting to do

1637
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: pretty well here. What are your thoughts on their situations.

1638
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 1: I know that we're getting ever so close to the

1639
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas Bowl, and those two teams

1640
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: are starting to play their way out of it. If

1641
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: they keep doing this, well, yeah, you know, you look

1642
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: at it. Especially with Texas, They've still got you know,

1643
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: a tough schedule left. I think they go to steel

1644
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Water this week to play Oklahoma State. I think they've

1645
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: got West Virginia's still on the schedule, So there are

1646
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: a couple of games there that and with a banged

1647
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: up quarterback that's left on the schedule, so it's it's

1648
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: a little early, but it is some inspiring football. That's

1649
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: that both but the Longhorns and the Aggies, it seems

1650
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: as though they've Kellermans, They've found a quarterback in him,

1651
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: some consistency at that position that really hasn't been there

1652
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: since Johnny Manziel exited campus. So that that's good to

1653
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: see for their programs. And uh, you know you're right.

1654
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: As they continue to win, they continue to climb in

1655
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the rankings. I think uh A and M is in

1656
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: the obviously in the top twenty, and Texas is just

1657
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: on the fringes of the top ten or maybe even

1658
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: in the top ten at this point. I think they

1659
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 1: were ninth last week before a tough win over Baylor.

1660
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: But it's it's good to see, it's healthy for the

1661
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: state of Texas and uh and good to see. Let

1662
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 1: me ask you an other sport question now, with the

1663
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Astros in the ALCS, if you have a dog in

1664
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 1: the fight and you're just a fan watching the game

1665
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:02,480
Speaker 1: on television, which is more stressful to watch the baseball

1666
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 1: playoffs or the football playoffs, I would say baseball, because

1667
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: it's slower. Yeah, you know, it's just that's just how

1668
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: the game is. And if if you're rooting for two teams,

1669
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: uh and you you know you're you're sitting there, it's

1670
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 1: more stressful because the action you have to wait for

1671
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: the action to come to you, and it's slow and

1672
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: it can be slowed down. And how a pitcher controls

1673
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: the game to to actually uh calm himself and slow

1674
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: the game down. Whereas with football there's a there's a

1675
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: play clock. Uh, you're getting the information and the results

1676
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: a little bit faster. So I think definitely for me

1677
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 1: it would be baseball would would be the more stressful

1678
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: to uh that you know you're rooting and wanting something

1679
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 1: to happen for your team. It's let's just say, if

1680
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: both teams are trailing, you can get back in it

1681
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: a little bit faster. And football certainly than baseball. All right, Trey, Hey,

1682
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: I know you have SMU with two lane this week.

1683
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: Good luck with it and we'll see in Jacksonville looking

1684
01:22:59,880 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 1: for We're two of my friends. We're joking one time

1685
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: last week about Andre seeing SMU and he's got to

1686
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: cover a few SMU games. What that must be like

1687
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: after nineteen eighty nine, many many years ago. And he

1688
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: always says, look, I only played the first half. And

1689
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: if you don't know what we're talking about, go look

1690
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: up nineteen eighty nine University of Houston versus SMU. SMU

1691
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: was coming off the death penalty from the two prior years,

1692
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 1: and we're severely undermanned, especially in nineteen eighty nine when

1693
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: they came back and they had to they jumped right

1694
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 1: back into Southwest Conference play, and it was rough. It

1695
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: would have been the equivalent to me, as I think

1696
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: about it probably would have been like us at Brown

1697
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: University jumping right into the Southwest Conference. That would have

1698
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: been what it was like. And that game ended ninety

1699
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: five twenty one. I believe Drelely played the first half.

1700
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,040
Speaker 1: He did win the Highsman Trophy that year. But I

1701
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: can only imagine what goes through his mind when he

1702
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: has to when he sees SMU on the schedule. Is

1703
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: bring back a good memory? I would imagine it does,

1704
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: because you got to sit the entire second half. You

1705
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: have to sit and watch his buddies play after piling

1706
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: up all kinds of numbers that year, So appreciate Dre

1707
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: for coming in. He always gets the final word, if

1708
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:23,759
Speaker 1: you will on Wednesday, but we've had plenty from all

1709
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: across the map. We got to hear from JP Shatick

1710
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: at Jaguars dot Com. We got to hear from Frank Frangie,

1711
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: Mark stop By, of course our good buddy Andre Ware.

1712
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,600
Speaker 1: We also got to hear some sound today, and I

1713
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 1: think one of the best pieces of sound that we

1714
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: played for you. The best thing that I've heard in

1715
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: quite some time was the news about Andre how safety

1716
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: for your Houston Texans Hodskins limp Foma. He beat it

1717
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: this summer and this fall. He has now been He

1718
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 1: is allowed to practice. Now. They still, as coach said,

1719
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 1: they've got a twenty one day window with which they've

1720
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to do it. But they

1721
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 1: got twenty one days to figure it out. Now. Could

1722
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: Andre play this Sunday against Jacksonville? Yeah, technically could. I

1723
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,719
Speaker 1: don't know the timing, and I think the coaching staff

1724
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: doesn't know either. They got to see what and where

1725
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: Dre is condition wise, and I know he's conditioning is good,

1726
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: but football conditioning is a little different deal. So they

1727
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: gotta try and figure all that out and obviously that

1728
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 1: is some kind of task, but it's definitely something that

1729
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,200
Speaker 1: they will do for Dre how that Dre Howe wants

1730
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: for himself. And the one thing I would never do

1731
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: with that man, never count him out. Never. There are

1732
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: plenty of people that did. And I remember going to

1733
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: training camp and I saw active non football entry and

1734
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 1: I thought, could he come back this year? Well, he's

1735
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 1: on his way back. And that is some tremendous, tremendous

1736
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: news to get a player of that caliber back for

1737
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 1: this squad at some point. Don't know when. I don't

1738
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 1: know if it's this week. We'll find out very very soon.

1739
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: And that was great news. Thank you to you all
