1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Week sixteen in the NFL, the Jaguars head to Las 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Vegas to see the Raiders. Andrew Catalan will be there 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: to see the Jaguars and the Raiders as well. Happy 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: Holidays till you Merry Christmas. Good to see you again. 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: And you know this is the game America has been 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: waiting for. Jags Raiders. Andrew. 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: It's a big one, JP, Thank you, Happy holidays to you. 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: Just saw the Jags a couple of weeks ago. I 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: thought that was a much needed win in Tennessee, so 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: got a pretty good feel for what they're about to 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 2: bring to the table. And I haven't had the Raiders 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: since Week two, which was one of their two wins 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: of the year, when amazingly they won in Baltimore. You 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: think about that result. Here we are in late December, 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens this Sunday. 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the number one storyline in this 17 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: game are the rookie pass catchers for each team. Rock Bowers, 18 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: of course, is the leading rookie and receiving yards in 19 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: the NFL, the tight end for the Raiders, and then 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior has broken all the Jaguars rookie records 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: and he's right there second in the NFL young bright 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: pass catchers. That's something to watch for this game, and 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: especially against this Jaguars defense is having some issues down 24 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: the field. What have you seen looking back at the 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: Raiders this year in brock Bauers and how that's translated 26 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: from college now to the NFL. 27 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's a star JP. He is really 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: impressive the numbers that he's getting. And obviously they traded 29 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: Devonte Adams midway through the year and that really opened 30 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 2: up him as their number one passing option and he's 31 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: taken advantage of that. I mean, he has a chance 32 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: to break Mike Ditka's record. He's closing in on that mark, 33 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: which would be just incredible for a rookie tight end. 34 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: And you know, we met with Brian Thomas Junior a 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago in Nashville. It was the first 36 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: time that our crew had sat with him. Really impressed 37 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: by him. I mean, he's got a great way about him, 38 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: very serious, very focused, but also has a lighter side 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: to him too, So our crew really enjoyed spending time 40 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: with him. I really think that these two names are 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: going to be names we hear for a long time 42 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: to come in the NFL. I think both of these 43 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: young pass catchers are here to stay. 44 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: How do you cover Bowers? 45 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 2: Though? 46 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: I mean then this, I could ask that most weeks 47 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: on most tight ends that face the Jaguars, but they've 48 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: had issues down the field. He's got that balance of 49 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: power and speed with the football. 50 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, some preliminary talks with Jason mccordy, who's one of 51 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: the people I'm calling the game with, and he thinks 52 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: that Darnell Savage is going to be a big part 53 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: of this game for the Jacksonville defense. We haven't met 54 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 2: with them yet, but we will soon find out. But no, 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: this is a game where, look, if you put all 56 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: your attention on Bowers, it's not like Jacobe Myers can't 57 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: go off either. So yes, Bowers deserves that attention. Jacksonville 58 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: needs to slow him down, but Myers is also having 59 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: a nice season. I think the bigger question is is 60 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: can the Jaguars put pressure on the quarterback. We assume 61 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: it'll be O'Connell. Don't give him time to find powers 62 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: or Myers get after this guy a little bit. He 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: doesn't move very well, So I think that that's an 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: opportunity for Jacksonville to maybe get after him quickly. 65 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan with us, can we get a Carter Bradley 66 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: siding that come full circle if kid played against. 67 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: The Jags, that'd be really cool. Yeah. I mean I 68 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: don't root for players, but I root for stories. That 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: would be a great story to get in there. He 70 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: got Calevon chase On, who's done some nice things after 71 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: he wasn't able to really get it going in his 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: four years in Jacksonville. Mike Caldwell as the Raiders linebackers coach. 73 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: So there's a couple of overlapping players, teams, storylines, But 74 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: I don't think anything would top if Bradley got in there. 75 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Yes, Andrew, which head coach needs this game more and 76 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: the games down the stretch or at this point, we 77 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: just don't know what's going to happen after the season 78 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: here on this side of things. You never know in 79 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, the way they're losing games, which coach is 80 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: kind of more on the hot seat, Pierce or Peterson. 81 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: Well, you look at the comments that Mark Davis made 82 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago about Antonio Pierce, and you 83 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: know Tom Telesco, the general managers in his first year 84 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: as the GM, and someone asked, Davis, you know, are 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: these guys going to be judged together? To LESCo and 86 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: Pierce are separate, and he said, no, separate to LESCo 87 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: is not going to be judged. I mean, that's not 88 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: what you want to hear if you're Antonio Pierce. But 89 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 2: you know, to me, there's not a ton of great 90 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: candidates out there this offseason. I think very highly of 91 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: Mike Rabel. I think that he's a guy that will 92 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: get a job. I think he can probably get whatever 93 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: job he wants, in my opinion. Beyond that, it's going 94 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: to be a coordinator or maybe not a maybe not 95 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: an experienced coach, maybe a first year head coach, which 96 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: is fine if that's the route you want to go, 97 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: but I think that might help some of these coaches, 98 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: is Giants, Jaguars, Raiders, that it's not a slam dunk 99 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: that you've got X, Y and Z sitting out there. 100 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: All right, Andrew, let's wrap it up with the playoffs 101 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: chase here in the AFC starting to kind of settle in. 102 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens this weekend. The Chiefs are on Saturday. 103 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: They could go ahead and clench the number one seed. 104 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: But I mean the Bills are playing the Patriots, so 105 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: it's probably not going to be clenched. You never know, 106 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: That's why they play the games. Who do you like 107 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: in the AFC down the stretch here to finish it up? 108 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 2: You know, JPR crew had Baltimore last week and obviously 109 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 2: the opponent was the Giants, but just this sense we 110 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: got around being the Ravens, specifically Lamar Jackson, this is 111 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,239 Speaker 2: a very determined team. Feels to me like they're about 112 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: to go on a deep run mission. Lamar had this 113 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: different kind of way about him than our previous meetings 114 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 2: with him. So I think this is a team that's 115 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 2: very capable of beating the Steelers, winning the division and 116 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: going on a deep run. But as you said, the 117 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: AFC is loaded. I mean, whoever gets hot is going 118 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: to win. And you know, I'm one of the people 119 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: that hasn't been talking up the Chiefs like a lot 120 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: of others. But they're thirteen in run or yeah, thirteen 121 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: in one, so you know it's hard to you know, 122 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: call them out either, but Bill's and Ravens. But right 123 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: now I'm pretty excited to see what Baltimore can do. 124 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: One of these days, the jaguars will be back on 125 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: the end the Hunt graphic, and that's a good step 126 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: in the right direction. Today's not one of those days. Andrew. 127 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: Always good to see you, Thanks for the time you too, 128 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: happy how it is.
