00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty nasty storm, it seems like coming through here. Yeah,

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: no question about us. So be safe on the roads.

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Take your time and do everything you have to do

18

Speaker 1: to get ready for the holidays. Speaking of that, you

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: everything you strike me as a rapping guy like you

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: to wrap it would be good at rapping. Could not

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: be further from the truths good creases, no efficient on

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: the tape. I am type B and if it if

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: there is wrapping paper covering every square inch of the gift,

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: job done. Thank god I married someone who is type A,

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: who actually can rap presents and make them look presentable

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to our children on Christmas. Otherwise it gonna be like

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: was Santa, you know, drunk on nag. So what do

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: you do when you have to give a present for

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: your wife rap it poorly and she just knows this? Yeah? Yeah,

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: so there's no there's no fooling her on who wrapped it.

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's just me. I mean I could say

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: one of my three year olds that I could say

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: the dog wrapped it. You might have done about a job.

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: You could go to the department store. They have people

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: for that, right, don't they this time of year the

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: department stores have But I mean, I guess I went

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: to a couple of stores and I could have asked

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: them to wrap the items. Um, but I didn't, And yeah,

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: it was probably my mistake. So you guys give each

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: other Christmas pres Yeah? Do you? Yeah? It's uh, it's nothing,

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, crazy, but the gesture. Yeah, we still do that. Yeah,

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: my wife and I don't we probably should, Like that's fine,

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: I know, but I always feel guilty, like, you know,

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: what are we doing for Christmas this year? And she's like, no,

45
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: just you know, take it to the kids. I mean,

46
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: the big thing is giving giving the presents to the kids.

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I was just talking about this with Paris Campbell. He

48
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: has a four year old son, and he's very excited

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: to see the look on his son's face as Christmas transpires.

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: And that's the best part about Christmas now that I

51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: have kids, and I'm sure you can identify with that,

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: and anyone out there who as kids can identify that

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: giving gifts to your kids, especially when they're when they're

54
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: at the age that they still believe in Santa and

55
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: all that. It's uh, it's very cool, no doubt about it.

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: All right. So let's transition to some football here. Nick

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: Foles is going to start for the Colts. So the

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: Colts are changing quarterbacks. So the Colts are gonna have

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: a third different starting quarterback. That'll be the first time

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen the Colts will start three different quarterbacks

61
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: in a in a season. Um, So fall is going

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: to start his first game since Week sixteen of last

63
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: year when he started for the Chicago Bears JJ, everybody's wondering,

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: why now, why are the Colts making this switch now

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: to Nick Foles. I mean, I think when you blow

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the biggest lead in NFL history, it kind of puts

67
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: anything on the table. And I mean two big things

68
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: that Jeff Saturday highlighted this week are the Colts need

69
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: to execute better in the red zone and they need

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: to push the ball down field more. This is an

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: offense that is thirty first in red zone touchdown percentage.

72
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: They are thirty second in average depth of target on

73
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: passing plays. The Cults are averaging under seven yards of

74
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: depth on their passes. That seven yards to be on

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage this year, that is last in

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. Defenses are have taken note of that all

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: season long. They've dropped an extra safety into the box.

78
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: They have done whatever they can to take away the

79
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: run game because they're not worried about getting beat deep.

80
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: And Nick Foles, I mean, you know, we don't totally

81
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: know what he's going to look like in a Colts uniform,

82
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: but we have seen him in practice, we have seen

83
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: him in training camp. He still is a good arm

84
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: I think his arm strength, probably of all the three

85
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the team, is the best, and that might

86
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: give him an opportunity to, Hey, we're going to get

87
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: the ball downfield, and Nick Foles is an aggressive quarterback.

88
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: He will push the ball downfield. He will be willing

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: to stand in there and take a hit and get

90
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: the ball to you know, an Alec Pierce down field

91
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: or an Ashton Dulin down field. So that's a big

92
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: aspect of creating explosive plays in an offense that has

93
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: struggled to get those this year. Reality though, is, by

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: the way, that's JJ Stangovitz on the Colt's Daily Update.

95
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor. The reality is, though, is that Folls

96
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: has been primarily the scout team quarterback all season and

97
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: really hasn't taken first team reps all season and hasn't

98
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: thrown to the first team skill players you know, wide

99
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: receivers in tight ends since training camp and even at that,

100
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: you know that point, Matt Ryan's the starting quarterback in

101
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: the month of August, and he took all the first

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: team run in training camp up at Grand Park in Westfield.

103
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: So what kind of challenges does does he face this

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: week getting up to speeds, so to speak, for the

105
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: first time, even though he's been around these players for

106
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: thirteen regular season games. Yeah, I think that that angle

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: sometimes gets over overblown, Matt, just because I mean, you

108
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: look around the NFL and backup quarterbacks have to come

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: in a lot, and usually those backup quarterbacks do not

110
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: have any experience throwing to the guys they are playing with,

111
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: especially you know, you think about like the San Francisco

112
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I can't imagine Brock Purty had a

113
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: lot of experience throwing the ball to Brandon Aiyuk. It's

114
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: been good, it's been fine. There. You can find ways

115
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: as a coaching staff, as a quarterback to step in

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: and do that. And Nick Foles has a lot of

117
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: experience with this. Nick Foles in twenty seventeen, we all

118
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: know the story came in when Carson Wentz to his

119
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: ACL went on to win Super Bowl MVP. I can't

120
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: imagine Nick Foles that's spent a lot of time throwing

121
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: to you know, Zach Ertz that year, you know before

122
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: he came in. So and Foles being a veteran, being

123
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: in the league for as long as he's been in

124
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the league, he knows ways to go about this into

125
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: X at that process. I think he is well equipped

126
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: for this, and I don't think his lack of experience

127
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to a really good wide receiver in

128
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Jr. Is going to be what holds this

129
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: offense back on Monday. He's been in the NFL since

130
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. He's literally been thrown into every situation imaginable,

131
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: also winning a Super Bowl and winning Super Bowl MVP

132
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: in that process. Elsewhere. How about Quentin Nelson makes the

133
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl? He becomes the first Colts player ever to

134
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl in each of his first five

135
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL. Excuse me, so we're obviously excited

136
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: about that. Any other players that you thought had a

137
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: good chance of making the Pro Bowl initially that got

138
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: snubbed ultimately last night? I think Stefan Gilmore is a

139
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty big snub just in my mind, you know, without

140
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: and this is all relative too. I can't speak on

141
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: the other cornerbacks who made it on the AFC roster

142
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: because I haven't studied them as much as I've studied tonight.

143
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: I haven't watched them as much. Stefan Gilmore is having

144
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: a really good season though. You know, you see the

145
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: way that he's locked down opposing receivers, you see the

146
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: way that he's played consistently weakened and week out. Um,

147
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: you can't look at that guy and tell me he's

148
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: not a great player. He's not one of the best

149
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL. The guy who I thought, the

150
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: fact that he wasn't even named an alternate was Grover Stewart.

151
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: That to me just it's another example of like politics. Brother,

152
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: yeah we're not we're not even watching the games. Well right,

153
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: name recognition, But I mean if you turn on the tape,

154
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: if you're a team that played the Colts this year,

155
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: and you turn on the tape, you see number ninety

156
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, that guy's making a ton of plays.

157
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: Quint Nelson, Quintin Nelson was really good today. Uh. We

158
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with him in the

159
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: locker room and he said, if I could give my

160
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl spot to Grover Stewart, I would do it.

161
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: And and Q as someone who knows very well how

162
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: good of a player Grove is, having played against him

163
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: and played with him for now five years. Um, you know,

164
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to take for Grove

165
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: to make the Pro Bowl because guys who play his

166
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: position where it's not based on how many sacks you get,

167
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: it's based on can you eat a double team, can

168
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: you penetrate to the backfield on run plays? Can you

169
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, pressure the quarterback on occasion, but usually you're

170
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: coming off the field in pass rushing situations. It's really

171
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: hard for those guys to make the Pro Bowl. And

172
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: unfortunately that's just the case for Grover Stewart. Yeah, and

173
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: again I think that for me, the biggest thing is politics,

174
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: name recognition. We've seen that in the past where Colts

175
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: players have had more than deserving seasons that that don't

176
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: go on to make the Pro Bowl. It takes the

177
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: next year for them to build up some steam. And

178
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: we saw that with Kenny Moore. We saw that with

179
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Shack Leonard his first year he got snubbed for the

180
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls. Incredible by the way, that Shack Leonard didn't

181
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl in twenty eighteen, like that that

182
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: one still what I'm saying. He was the first team

183
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: All Pro, he set the Colts record for tackles in

184
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: the season, and he didn't even make the problem, Like, yeah, yeah,

185
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: there was that the debate on what position is he

186
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: is a linebacker off the ball linebacker, you know, so

187
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: really no one knew what bucket to put him in.

188
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was pretty egregious. And your alternates for

189
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: the Colts DeForrest Buckner, Stefan Gilmore who you talked about,

190
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: Unique and Ghakwa, Zaire Franklin, and also Jonathan Taylor. And

191
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: the Colts have placed Jonathan Taylor on injured reserve, so

192
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: the Cults are not going to have him for the

193
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: remaining three games of the season by NFL rule there, JJ,

194
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: So what do you expect the running game to look

195
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: like the rest of the way here? Yeah, pretty heavy

196
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: dose of Zack Moss and Deon Jackson like we saw

197
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Zach had twenty four carries. Dion had thirteen

198
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: in that game against the Vikings. Jordan Wilkins got signed

199
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster from the practice squad.

200
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: He is back. That's probably your trio the rest of

201
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: the season. Those three guys. The Colts liked what they

202
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: saw from Zach Moss. I know the numbers may not

203
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: have you know, really shown at twenty four carries eighty

204
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: one yards. But you know, hearing from Ryan Kelly, Ryan

205
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: liked how Zach was. He was physical and he was

206
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: downhill with the ball in his hands. There are a

207
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: couple of plays I was impressed with Zach Moss. It's

208
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: not like he's ripping off thirty yard games, but or

209
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: you could see him turn something that might have been

210
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: a one yard gain into a four to five yard gain.

211
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: So interested to see what the Colts have they're going

212
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: forward because Jack Lass he's under contract for next year.

213
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: He's a former third round pick of the Colts, got

214
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: in the niheem Hinz trade with the Buffalo Bills, and

215
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: he could conceivably be your backup running back next year.

216
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: Him and Dion Jackson could be competing for that role

217
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: behind Jonathan Taylor. Good time to get an evaluation on

218
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: both of them here in the final three games. Yeah,

219
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: and the Chargers are not good historically this season. Stopping

220
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: the run better as of late, but on average they're

221
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: giving up one hundred and forty five rushing yards per game.

222
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see if the Colts can take advantage of that.

223
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: Coming up on Monday night. All right, j Joe, we

224
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: got Jaguars and Jets tonight Thursday Night Football. Should the

225
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars win, the Colts would be eliminated from playoff contention.

226
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: So mathematically, the Colts can be done tonight in terms

227
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: of their hopes of making the postseason. Who you got?

228
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are on a roll right now, and Matt,

229
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's even a shock. I think they're

230
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: going to win the division. They're gonna win the AFC South.

231
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Ryan Tannehill out for Ryan tan Hill is out

232
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: for the year the jag And even if Ryan Tannehill

233
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: was still playing, I think i'd back the Jaguars to

234
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: win the division. They're six and eight, Titans are seven

235
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: and seven. They play one more time this year in Jacksonville.

236
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Already beat Tennessee. Yeah, so all Jacksonville has to do

237
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: is win out and they win the division. Wow. But

238
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: even that's it's plausible. It's plausible that they could win

239
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: their next couple of games, and that game in Week

240
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: eighteen is just a coronation for them. Wow, They're they're

241
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: playing really good football. Trevor Lawrence looks really good. I'm

242
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: interested though, because this Jets defense is really really good.

243
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: They are the big reason why that team is seven

244
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: and seven with Cam Robinson out for Jacksonville. Can the

245
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: Jets get after the Jaguars a little bit? Get after

246
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence a little bit? But who would have thought,

247
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: Matt in this week that we had Packers and Rams

248
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: on Monday night football stink that the playoff implications for

249
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: that game would be zero, Yet the playoff implications for

250
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Jaguars and Jets would be as high is any game

251
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: this week. In week sixteen to the season, yeah, that's

252
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, going back to the beginning

253
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: of the season, we said, oh, how many teams are

254
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: competitive in the AFC? I mean, only seven make the playoffs.

255
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: They're sixteen teams. How many can you're realistically right now?

256
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: Cross off? And we said maybe the Jets, maybe the Jaguars,

257
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: And here I mean probably it's probably three teams. And

258
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: two of those three teams are in contention for the playoffs.

259
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: And who saw four nine and one for this sports team. So,

260
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly why the NFL is the best

261
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: reality TV series going. Man, Yep, it's gonna be in.

262
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: This game is gonna be fun too. It's gonna be

263
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: a fun game out Thursday night Primetime Thursday Night or

264
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,560
