1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Celebrating twenty five years of Jaguars football bottles and every day.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: This is very low red for a town that prides

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: itself when having such an NFL tradition. Jackuars, did you know,

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Jack Jack Warris, did you know? Jaguars drive Time? Ryan

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: Sex steps that John oh says it and actually Jaguars

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: drive Time starts right now. Yeah, it's just a belief

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: in one another. You know, it's it's you know, knowing

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: the guys in that huddle. But as long as there's

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: time in the clock, we're gonna keep Biden. We're gonna

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: give it all, um, give all we got because we

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: know we got next to you is and you're not

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna let him down. So that's, you know, as long

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: as there's any chance, that's what that's what we're gonna do.

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: The Jaguars coming home from Carolina two and three, tough loss,

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: but one thing for sure, they'd never gave up. There

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: was never a thought in any of our minds that

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: they weren't gonna win that game. Because they took the

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: field on the final offensive drive, we all thought they

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: got something they might be able to make it happen.

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: But need let's just say a loss in Carolina, lots

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: to talk about, but definitely an exciting game, back and

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: forth throughout the entire game. Well, here's the theme and

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: one before you get the big things that we will

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: talk about. There was no point from the sidelines yesterday

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: where it felt like they were not in control, and

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: they never let it was because when they were playing

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: well and shutting the rundown, which I admit didn't happen often,

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: but there were moments where they got them off the field,

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: the offense felt like they could go right back down

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: the field and score, and they did on a regular basis.

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: So it was a good football game. I talked to

32
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: a lot of Jaguars fans after the game, and you

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: know my family when I got home last night, they

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: enjoyed the game, was thrilling to watch to the end.

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: They didn't like the outcome, but that's half the NFL

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: every Sunday. This was a much different kind of loss

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: than we saw in Jacksonville last year. Um, and then

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: we saw for a number of years. It's a competitive loss. Yeah,

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: and I'll be the old guy, get off my long show.

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Because after after talking on our rapid recap, I realized, yeah,

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: we were all sort of positive and and and our

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: positive right now, there are two and three, and there's

43
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: some major issues obviously defensively, So this is not necessarily

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: shine the car and look how kind of great we look.

45
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: But in the long run, the positive is I think

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: you found the guy who can play quarterback, and I

47
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: think you've got an offense that can function in this

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: league for the first time in a long time. Uh,

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: but you're still two and three. You got like I

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: think anybody's shining in the car. I think what we're

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: pointing out is this is a different kind of This

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: is a different team entirely. It's more talented the defense.

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: I believe you can fix those issues. You've got a

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: quarterback that can make things happen. I've been on the

55
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: sidelines now for a couple of years. I've never felt

56
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: what I felt yesterday, which was a team that knew

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: that they were capable of pointing right yeah and only

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: covering this league for a few years. Um. In the

59
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: locker room, it was the most well, it's NFL Sunday,

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose. Sometimes loss in the locker room it

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: felt like, I mean, people were upset, but there was

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: still such belief and positivity in that locker room after

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: the loss. It wasn't like a big time blowout loss

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: like the last year. You had important guys saying that

65
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: and meaning it, and yeah unique and get saying it

66
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: and meaning it. You have Leonard Fournette saying it, meaning

67
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: it that they believe that there is a lot to

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: build on and it's it's a good thing, but you

69
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: better start winning. Well. Look, I don't know if this

70
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: team is good enough to be anything more than a

71
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: win one lose one win to lose two kind of

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: team this year. Um, but they're good enough to be

73
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: in the game in the fourth quarter. And we all

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: know that wasn't the case last year. The game was

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: over because the offense couldn't score. They fell down seven

76
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: nothing last year and in Houston done. You know it

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: didn't take much. It's a completely different situation because you

78
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: have an offense that's capable of moving down the field

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: and giving you a chance. All right, let's get right

80
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: into big things. Big thing one is the quarterback facing

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the NFL is top rated defense meants you through for

82
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a career high three hundred and seventy four yards, get

83
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: a lot go wrong, but still put the Jags in

84
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 1: a position to win at the end of the game.

85
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: He's the guy you feel like, you know, you always

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: have a chance. You know, when he's in there, you

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna go ahead and he's gonna make

88
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: a play. And I think sometimes you see him running

89
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: around and moving around and duck in and going. You know,

90
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: eventually that stuff in histily, he's gonna catch up to

91
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: you whether they can knock the ball out. Sometimes you're

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna make play, sometimes you're not. Um, we just appreciate

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: the you know, I mean, the guys out there, you know,

94
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: giving giving us everything he has, and that's all you

95
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: can ask from it a player. Big thing too is

96
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: the defense. All you have to do is look at

97
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's stats, know what type of day the defense,

98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: especially the linebackers had three touchdowns, two hundred thirty seven

99
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: yards and the Panthers average ten point six yards per carry.

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: Miles Jack takes the plame for this one. Um, I

101
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: had a couple of new career cluse So I mean,

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm really gonna put that on myself, Like told I

103
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: can't put it on anybody with my slot left there,

104
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: Like I gotta come back. I gotta be better, um,

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: and I owe it to this team to be better.

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: So UM, I'm really putting that on myself. UM. I

107
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: don't blame anybody else for myself. And big thing three

108
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: is the chart attack that comes tory between Minshew and

109
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: d J Chark made for a tough day for Carolina Secondary.

110
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Eight catches, a hundred and sixty four yards and two

111
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns should have been three, but we'll get to that later.

112
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: DJ Chark is not surprised about the season he's had

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: so far. People will be surprised by you around the league.

114
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: You're surprised at all about how well you've done the

115
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: first five us of this season. Uh, you know, No,

116
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: like he said, you know, I just come in and work.

117
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: I got receivers around me that helps me every day.

118
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: You know. I just think, uh Chris, I think Keith,

119
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, because he's because he's always there for me.

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: But like I said, these these guys never given up

121
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: on me, even lashes, you know, and outside you know, uh,

122
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, had they come as the guys in his

123
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: locker room never doubted me. So I want to say surprised.

124
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: That was Marquise Lee in the background, agreeing you want

125
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: to terrify that was not Times Union Sports columns Jeane

126
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: for Nett saying that you could see jeans a little

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: head popping out. Let's go back, let's let's draw the

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: curtain back on this. I'll tell you why I have

129
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: an element of positive energy about this team, because the

130
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: dirty little secret in the NFL is that it's not

131
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: about Super Bowls. It's not about championships. It's about selling

132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: your tickets, it's about filling your building, it's about being

133
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: a successful franchise. And what I saw yesterday was a

134
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: reason for people to buy tickets and watch this. There

135
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: are going to be an enormous number of Saints fans

136
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: here on I don't well you know that or not,

137
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: but the Saints fans are coming in droves. They marked

138
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: this when the schedule came out as being one of

139
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: their fan trip like the what's the group that does

140
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: fan trips? Yeah, those guys, Uh, this is their version

141
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: of that, and they're coming here just like Kansas City.

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: And all I heard, or all I saw yesterday was

143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: tickets being sold by Jaguars fans who want to come

144
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: and watch this kid play. Not just this kid. Let's

145
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: give him all the credit. He is exciting. D Jhark

146
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: yesterday was damn near unstoppable, right, the guy. Every time

147
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: they wanted to go to him, they went to him. Um.

148
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: The more they do that, the better he gets. The

149
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: harder that Leonard runs, and he ran hard again this week.

150
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: You fix the issue at the left guard, which is

151
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: now a major issue with this football team. The left

152
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: guard is the highest paid player in the game, and

153
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: quite frankly, he stinks. Right, you don't get thrown back

154
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: into your quarterback and set that up if you're not

155
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: stinking badly. Um, but they have an exciting offense that

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: people will want to see. That's a reason to be

157
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: energetic and positive because it speaks to the success of

158
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the franchise as a whole. And that's really important right now. Yeah,

159
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, they have a major issue coming

160
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: up in three or four weeks because I don't know

161
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: how you set this kid Gardner manship. Yeah, we're we're

162
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: at that point we can talk about that. And uh,

163
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: I believe you believe that he's got a chance to

164
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: be really, really good in two or three years. He's good,

165
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's really good. He's fun now. But he's

166
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: just out there running around play. But if if you

167
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: think this guy has it and can be your guy,

168
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how you said him, but I don't

169
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: know how he said the other guy either. So it's

170
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: it's as difficult situation as I've ever seen, but in

171
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: a good way. I said, he's out there running around playing.

172
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: He's a very smart kid. It's not like he's just

173
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: chucking and ducket. You covered Bill Pollyan and and so

174
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: you'll know this better than me. But Bill Polian said

175
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: there were four phases to a quarterbacks development. One is

176
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: just figuring out what's going on, and the second is

177
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: figuring out what a defense is doing. And I think

178
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: the third was figuring out how to take advantage of

179
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: what the defense is doing, and the fourth was actually

180
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: dictating to the defense. Right, So when I say that

181
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: he's out there just throwing the ball all around, he is,

182
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean he's figured it all out yet.

183
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: The more that he plays, the more he'll be able

184
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: to manipulate a defense. Now that could come in in

185
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: year two. Who mean, who knows, uh, he's so far

186
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: advanced from any quarterback I've seen in a Jaguars uniform

187
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: in his rookie season right Byron Left, which you know, Blake, Gabbert,

188
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: Blake Bordles. I mean, none of them have been where

189
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: he is in terms of intellectually understanding what they want

190
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: to do. But where he gets to from here is

191
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: anybody's guess. But it sure looks like it. Don't move out.

192
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: You see flashes of really really smart football in the

193
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: sense of he drifts a certain way. I'm not gonna

194
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: say he he'll never do this, but when he drifts,

195
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: he never throws back across the field of the wrong

196
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: receiver when he's at the line, and he gets the

197
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: ball out quickly on screen passes, gives his receivers a

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: chance for a success. He has an innate feel for

199
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: this game of where the ball is supposed to go,

200
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: where is there to be placed. The incomplete pass to

201
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Westbrook that almost set up like a five yard line,

202
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: that was the right read, the right throw. He was

203
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: drifting the right way at the time to give d

204
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: d a chance. He makes so many good decisions, so

205
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: far ahead instinctively of where most quarterbacks are. His age um. Again,

206
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how you pull him out, So sometimes

207
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: you just get gets lightning a bottle, get lucky, whatever

208
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: you wanna call it. But the Jaguars invested eight million

209
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: guaranteed dollars in NI fules and they were excited about

210
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: what the Super Bowl m v P brought to the table,

211
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: both on the field in the locker room. He has

212
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: forty five million dollars in dead money against your cab.

213
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a major decision. You put a plan

214
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: in place to execute, you built around that. Now you're

215
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: changing course, Maybe for all the right reasons. Maybe that's

216
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: just the lightning in the bottle that happened right. Sometimes

217
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: you just don't know. Do you think that the Carolina

218
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: Panthers draft dude Christian McCaffrey and thought this guy's gonna

219
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: be an MVP candidate in a short time. Probably not.

220
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: They probably thought he's gonna be a really good back

221
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make his multidimension. He's gonna make our

222
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: quarterback better. And now we saw yesterday the guy is

223
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: phenomenal what he does with his hips and changing direction

224
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: on a dime in the acceleration. Plus he's built like

225
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones, drew below the waist so he can put

226
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: his shoulder down a drive to me, he's the best

227
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: offensive player in the league. Not not a quarterback. Not right.

228
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just get lucky. Um finding a quarterback in

229
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: the sixth round it forces you to change your plan

230
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: is nothing but lightning in a bottle. Yeah, I want

231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: to tell the marketing people that we can't have Minta

232
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: must passes. I mean, I know of a group that

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: live in Ponavita. It's part of the Pontavita Rotary Club

234
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: that I think to every year. And they texted me

235
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon and said, we're driving to Carolina. We

236
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: want to get tickets. Where's the action at right? They

237
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: were they Saturday Friday night, they went to dinner. They

238
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: were all talking about Gardner Midshew, and then they all

239
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: were at the game on Sunday. They just drove to

240
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: Carolina to see this kid play. And let me tell you,

241
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: if I'm looking for action in Charlotte, you're the man

242
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm calling. Well, I can tell you where it is.

243
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: I won't be there. I won't be there for me.

244
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: It was a top golf with t i a bank

245
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: but but there was a lot of Jaguars. It's a teal.

246
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: There were a lot of fans there and this. They

247
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: didn't drive up there because they wanted to see the

248
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: defense play, and they didn't drive up there because they

249
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: wanted to watch Christian McCaffrey. They drove up there for

250
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: the mustache. You don't force magic, it just happen half

251
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: and this kid's got it. So we addressed all the positives.

252
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: We have to address the negative now, the run defense.

253
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you knew that Christian McCaffrey was going to

254
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: break one. We talked about it all week. We predicted

255
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: an eighty four yard run like we saw, but we

256
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: predict run. John and I were talking in zone Blitz.

257
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: We thought, you know what, he's gonna get one. He's

258
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: gonna get one breakout run, but then they'll collect and

259
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: they'll be okay. Far from the case. Well, um, it

260
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: was as bad a running defensive days you can have,

261
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: and to me, it felt just like a two thousand

262
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: and six when Jaguars ran over the cold of that game. Uh.

263
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: The good news about that is it's the same issue

264
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: as bothered the Colts. It's the same issue that often

265
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: bothers these breakout games like this. When you play a

266
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: gap control scheme, it's all based on the gaps being

267
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: filled when you have one guy out of your gap

268
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: on a play, all of a sudden, the guys in

269
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: the secondary he's going all the way. Um, that happened

270
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: way too often yesterday. Historically, it's very fixable. Historically, it's

271
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: about getting in the gaps and getting simple and just

272
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: making sure guys are doing their assignments. But this is

273
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: not as good a defense right now as we thought

274
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: it was gonna be. The good news is offensively, you're

275
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: making up for it. But if you even though it's

276
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: a passing league, if you can't stop the run, you're dead.

277
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: And they're not very good against the run right now

278
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: is epically embarrassing. Todd Wash is just But even in

279
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: their good games, been sort of a little bit of

280
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: a oh, we better watch this moment, right So I'll

281
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: go back to that two thousand six game. The Jags

282
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: ran for three seventy five yards that day. I mean,

283
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: it felt like wow. And at that point there were

284
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: still three games remaining for them. They're eight and five

285
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: and they had a chance. I thought, if they could

286
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: run like that to make playoffs, right uh? And I thought, boy,

287
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: the Colts are done. I mean, if you can't stop

288
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: the run and Peyton will never have the football. How

289
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna keep going? So, just out of curiosity,

290
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: I went to Tony Dunge's press conferences right across the

291
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: hole here, and I wanted to hear what he had

292
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: to say. And he was so calm. It was striking

293
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: how calm he was that day. He said, this is

294
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: not a problem. We know how to fix this, and

295
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: people kept hammering him with questions, how are you going

296
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: to fix this? This is terrible and he said, no,

297
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a move here to move there. It's

298
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: a guy getting into the right spot, having the right fit. Um,

299
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: and I thought, this is crazy. They're essentially the same

300
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: thing every with with out of out, and you know

301
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: the numbers better than I that they fixed it. I

302
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: don't think they allowed a hundred yards rushing by any

303
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: opponent the rest of the way, any any individual rusher.

304
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: And they won the Super Bowl. So you can fix

305
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: this if everyone gets on the same page. A fair

306
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: question is, can Miles Jack and Quincy Williams and Ronnie Harrison,

307
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: who appeared to be the three guys who were most

308
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: at fault for what happened yesterday, can they get on

309
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: the same page legit question. I don't know the answer.

310
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and find that out yet. If you're

311
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: at a position in this defense, Sunday happens, and it

312
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: happened over and over again. I was gonna say, have everything.

313
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: They like it, but I have you have. Here's the

314
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: other thing to point out in this take the yardage

315
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: off there just just for a moment, because the yardage

316
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: equal points, but it was a points. The real damage

317
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: was the three fumbles. You win that ball game. Give

318
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: him two five yards, you still win the ball game

319
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: if you don't have those three fumbles. Because the first one,

320
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: which was caused by uh Seth said his name Valve

321
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: right the time, who inexplicably ran into Gardner Minshew. He's

322
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: got a better ball security obviously, but he ran into

323
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: him from behind as he was turning the throat to

324
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: hand off. Um. That turned into Christian McCaffrey's second touchdown, right,

325
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: and they're they're driving absolutely so when I was at

326
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: their own twenty yard so they were just getting going.

327
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: Then the next one was Andrew Norwell and who hit

328
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: him with impressive force. He and and that was was

329
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: a Mario Addison, the pass rusher. Um it's no surprise.

330
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Norwell has been a terrific disappointment as a free agent.

331
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: They expected him to come in and be a dominant player,

332
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: and yesterday he was thrown around like an undrafted rookie

333
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: free agent right highest paid player on the team. If

334
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't change, they've got major problems. They may have

335
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: to start talking about Ken will Richardson play left guard,

336
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: because you have to talk about it, because in every

337
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: game this year, Norwell has missed a slide block protection

338
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: that's allowed somebody to come through. I know, I've watched him.

339
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: And then yesterday was just embarrassing, and it cost a

340
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: touchdown because Brian Burns picked up the fumble and took

341
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: it back for a touchdown. The third fumble was Gardner.

342
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: I thought, as a rookie, it's gonna happen. He was

343
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: running around trying to stay He looked like a rookie mistake,

344
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: and he keeps going and keeps going. He didn't have

345
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: great ball security there and the ball got slapped out

346
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: because he kept running around. And you admire, in fact,

347
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: you were kept alive in the game and in in

348
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the game last week because of his ability to scramble

349
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: and improvise. You don't get his magic with that without stuff,

350
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: But I think they're going to work with them on

351
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: You can still be magical with two hands on the

352
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: ball without a doubt. However, big point for him right now.

353
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: Credit to the defense and no one's talking about this

354
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: this morning, because they stopped him on that drive on

355
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: a big fourth and one. It was a huge opportunity

356
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, they didn't end up capitalizing because they

357
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 1: lost the ball game. But you still can win that

358
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: ball game if you don't fumble the ball give him

359
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: twenty five. You can still win if you don't fumble

360
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: the ball three times. Well, guess what if you allow

361
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: ten yards to carry and you lose giveaway takeaway three,

362
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: you're you're done in that sense. And if you always

363
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: forget when they talk about giveaway takeaway you're that close

364
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: and you feel like you outplayed him and you still

365
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: lost that. You know, talent wise, what you're doing will work.

366
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: You gotta get a couple of guys playing better. Yeah,

367
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if the linebackers don't fit against the run

368
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: better than they did yesterday, you're gonna lose a lot

369
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: of games, especially when you have a back like album Camara.

370
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: I'm in a town well without a doubt, all right

371
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: when we come back. Some highlights from yesterday's Lost in

397
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: of partners of your Jacksonville Jaguars. But we just gotta

398
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: tight load, you know what I mean. We gotta come back. Um,

399
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: we gotta play better. We gotta start out fast and

400
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what that let's taking. Um, the teams

401
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: are jumping out on us and then we're playing catch up.

402
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: So we just gotta stop doing that. Not a very

403
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: good day for that guy. Jaguars linebacker Miles Jack and

404
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense is they look to bounce back. A

405
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: big game coming up on Sunday. Alvin Kamara in the

406
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: Saints coming to town, and let's get into some highlights

407
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: and it's been the case now the past few weeks.

408
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: The defense gives up a big play right to start

409
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: the game, but the offense drives down the field and

410
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: responds in a big way, burst out intent. I'll play

411
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: factor for net. Makes you looking deep Perk Sark, He's

412
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: touchdown right away, boom boom. Well they established it earlier

413
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: three catches on that opening drive, and they go right

414
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: to chart Um, who appears to be a guy with

415
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: his lenk. You know the other touchdown that he had Um, Well,

416
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: he had two more, but only one of them counted

417
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: was when he was falling backwards and lunging, you know,

418
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: reaching high into the air to make it happen. I mean,

419
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: they really have something here, and he's their go to guy,

420
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: their go to guy. I've got this is my hot

421
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: take later on, so I'll go light on chart Um.

422
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: I honestly, Brian, I sit in the press box and

423
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing all all those little things I do in

424
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: the computer during the game. Yeah, it was coinable. I

425
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: didn't know how to process that's what they did in

426
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: the first drive. Because it's been so long since I've

427
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: seen something like that. You're down seven nothing for the

428
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: last eight years. With the exception of seen a few

429
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: games down seven, nothing that early. I'm sort of starting

430
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: to write, well, here we go again, you know that,

431
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden you look up. In a

432
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: minute and a half later, they've evened it up. And

433
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: not only have they evened it up, this feeling hit

434
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: me when I watched that drive of oh they've they're

435
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: doing this. Now they've got something meaning, it's not the

436
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: first time this season they've done that. It's not the

437
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: first time they've responded. It's not the first time they've

438
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: been down. And offensively they just looked deficient. They did

439
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: with the head to get back that. I mean, I'm

440
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: not breaking news here. That hasn't been the identity of

441
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: his team in forever. And all of a sudden you

442
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: look and you think, okay, well, this is the kind

443
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: of game they can play. They even against Kansas City

444
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: early remember with Folds, got back into it and then

445
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the wheels went off hard to

446
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: recover their resilience whatever, but they can function offensively at

447
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: a level to now play these kind of games in

448
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: the NFL. This is the new Jaguars um. If you

449
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: can fix the problem on the left side, of the line.

450
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: If you're throwing the ball like that to Chark, think

451
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: about how it loosens up the front for Leonard to

452
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: be able to run. Because yesterday the Panthers were stacking

453
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: the box. There was always that extra defender hanging right

454
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: around there looking for Leonard. After his big day in Denver,

455
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: if you keep hitting DJ, Leonard will have better lanes

456
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: to run, because he finished with a hundred and eight

457
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: yards and forty eight came on one. But man, was

458
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: he running really hard yesterday. And the way that he

459
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: was taking control with the offensive line on the sidelines,

460
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: just listening to the way that he was working. Leonard

461
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: had never done that before. Leonard has never been that

462
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: kind of a leader he was yesterday. You get the

463
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 1: sense he feels, what's what's possible with DJ playing that, Well, there,

464
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: they got something they're gonna back for net. We've talked

465
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: about it ever since he got here. As you started

466
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: to look at him and what he means this team,

467
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: you figured out he's very capable of getting an extra yard.

468
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: He's so strong, he's very capable of getting an extra

469
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: yard on every carry with just physical desire, uh your

470
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: scrappinus whatever. Over the course of nineteen carries, that's nineteen yards.

471
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: That's turned that's turning second and seven in the second

472
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: and six those kind of things. You're huge in the NFL.

473
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: It's what he's doing now and it's why he's so

474
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: important to the office. Okay, you talk about him fighting

475
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: for extra yards. I don't know if it's Keena McCardell

476
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: emphasizing this, but it's every single wide receiver. It seemed

477
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: like yesterday they're down, they got three guys on him,

478
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: and for example d D. Westbrook driving the three defenders

479
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: with him and not going down like that three or

480
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: four skill guys right now. I don't know how you

481
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: define this, but a Westbrook chart for net who are

482
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: football players, meaning they understand situations, they play hard during it,

483
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: uh to tw years ago, It's like the only guy

484
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: on offense like that was Mark Eisley who he was

485
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: really into every play and understood situations. Uh. D D

486
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: definitely is. DD is a guy who you get the

487
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: idea that if if if you paid him ten bucks,

488
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: he'd go play a football game because he loves being

489
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: out there playing. It's fun to watch. Ten bucks. Huh yeah,

490
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: what a bargain. Maybe twenty. Fair enough, all right, we

491
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: have a few examples of this costly mistakes turning into

492
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: points for the Carolina Panthers. Up the middle ball comes

493
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: up Carolina into treating. They have it ready for the

494
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: football as he's coming in. Gaffredy lined up in the

495
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: slot as a wide receiver at you back field next

496
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: to Allan on the first compif teams Catherine the Texan,

497
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean complete change the momentum. And like we said,

498
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: you can't win a ballgame when you just give away

499
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: a football like that. It's funny, as you know, I'll

500
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: think about this during the game, and it's so hard

501
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: to write this because it sounds so stupid. Need give

502
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: about two yards. As poorly as the defense played, you

503
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: still handed them fourteen point. So as poorly as the

504
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: defense played, its still only gave up twenty, which in

505
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: this day and age in the NFL, you will take twenty.

506
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: Your offense gave you seven. It's enough to win. Again,

507
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: you don't have those two fumbles that directly or indirectly

508
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and you still win the game despite how

509
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: poorly you played, which is a reason why you look

510
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: and go okay clean. A couple of things up. I

511
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: believe you can clean the defense out right. I'm not

512
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: sure about left guard, but I think you can clean

513
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: that up. And my hot take kind of deals with

514
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: them cleaning it up. Alright, let's go post halftime. At

515
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: third quarter, Christian McCaffrey basically closing the door on the

516
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: bus running back in the league right now, conversation, and

517
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: this is the moment when we all said, oh boy,

518
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: as a starters, it off to McCaffrey. There he goes.

519
00:26:54,320 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: It's so it's hard to describe this, but we came

520
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: out of the locker room yesterday and Pat Kavanaugh and

521
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: I were talking. It felt h the Jaguars just they

522
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: believed at that moment that they were a much, much

523
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: h better football team. They were they were going to

524
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: take control of this thing without too much difficulty. And

525
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: then that's the first offensive play for the Panthers and

526
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: Jaggars go three and out, and then that's the first

527
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: place like, oh right, oh, the offense got them back

528
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: in at the defense couldn't stop the running game in

529
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: the second half, So obviously the feeling that they were

530
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: better football team was wrong. Um, but at halftime, they

531
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: really believed they were coming and and I just I

532
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: we've talked about the Jaguars problems. CHRISTI McCaffrey is really special.

533
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: Well he is, And you also saw in that play

534
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: how one small thing make such a huge difference in

535
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. Miles Jack sort of inexplicably went to his

536
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: left to follow the tight end he was guarding. After

537
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: the game. He was guarding one of the time it's

538
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: on the place to make sure the quarter doesn't boot.

539
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: But he basically said, I blew it. You know, I

540
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: have to be there if you stop that play is

541
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: one of the one of the things, again going back

542
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: to that Cold Steam two thousand and six, you stop

543
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: little things. All of a sudden you're doing you know,

544
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: Bob Sanders came back and they started getting you know,

545
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: four yard gains into six yard games, or what had

546
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: been fifteen yard games tournam into four. On that play,

547
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: If Miles makes that play, it's a six yard game.

548
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: You're living to fight another day. Um again, very fixable,

549
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: but at some point you have to stop talking about

550
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: it being fixable and do it all right. So, even

551
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: with all of that that had gone wrong and everything

552
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: that had happened, this play made you think momentum is back,

553
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna win this game. Okay, free to the energy

554
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: the car Canada. I mean, look, there were a couple

555
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: of times just too wrong where Aprey Jones and Marcel

556
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Darius were absolutely unblockable. Not enough obviously. Um, but I

557
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: see that plan ago. Okay, you've got guys up there

558
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: that can really play. Now, let's see if you can

559
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: get them really playing that. That brought momentum back to

560
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: the offense and they did something with it, but obviously

561
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: not enough. It's interesting because from the press box, once

562
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: Carolina got up twenty seventeen, what's McCaffrey's rund happened? I

563
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: never really felt like the Jaguars were in control. So

564
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: it's interesting that the sideline felt so different, and I

565
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: got that vibe from talking to the players. Um, I

566
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: never got the feeling the way they were stopping the

567
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: run that that they were going to get back into it,

568
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: and I was surprised when they got to just because

569
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: of the way the game was feeling. And again, it

570
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: just shows you that sometimes the vibe that you get

571
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: from upstairs is different than to get from the sidelines. Unfortunately,

572
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: the vibe that you had, well, it wasn't the vibe.

573
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: It was the mistakes. The mistakes cost them a couple

574
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: of little mistakes here. Otherwise that team felt like they

575
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: could just come. It felt like they were always on

576
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: the verge of taking control and then right at that moment, mistake. Oh,

577
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: here we go again. And that brings us to the

578
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: final play, the final drive. When Minsha took the field,

579
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was exactly like last day. You left

580
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: too much time on the clock for Minshew to go

581
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: down and score. I was convinced you couldn't tell me otherwise,

582
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Luke Keickley blueod for me. You should look right to

583
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: kick quickly over there bitches struggling mans chased by otis

584
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: and now flows. Can we get it to the end zone?

585
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: Can pick get up by Luke kick Carolina. Yeah, I

586
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: mean they had where they get to extra plays, So

587
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: they ended up with three shots into the end zone.

588
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: Um and with some taller receivers, with a guy like

589
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: DJ Chark and you see Kaling Cole out there, I

590
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: mean you'd like their chances to leap and make a play,

591
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: especially with his accurate passer as um As Gardner Minshew is. However,

592
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: there was pressure. You saw it there and it forced

593
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: him to run around and he threw the ball off

594
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: balance there at the end, and the hail Mary's just

595
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: that for a reason, to hail Mary, please pray that

596
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: we can win. And right it's it's not meant necessarily

597
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: to be a slam. Well, beyond all that, Gardner did

598
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: a nice job on that drive, and the offensive nice

599
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: job of at least giving itself a chance. And uh again,

600
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: the ability for this team to create points quickly and

601
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: get themselves back into situations they can win. In the

602
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: last four weeks, they've been down by double digit at

603
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: some point in the game three times. They won one.

604
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: They probably should have won the Texans game, and they

605
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 1: gave themselves a chance to get back in this one. Um.

606
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: They did it a few times in seventeen with defense.

607
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: It was sort of remarkable that year they came back

608
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: from double digits and they got some defensive touchdowns to

609
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: do it. I don't remember a time where they've been

610
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: this consistent getting back in games offensively as they have

611
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: the last three or four weeks. And at this point

612
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: it's not a fluke, it's trend. So that final play,

613
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: um lukeick Lee is asked in the locker room, why

614
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: didn't you try to intercept it and you know and

615
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: make a play goes and I just wanted to go home.

616
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: You know what us you don't need to make a play, Luke.

617
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: That brings us to one more highlight that it is

618
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: not exactly in the game. Take this for what it's worth.

619
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: But Deshaun Watson on Instagram yesterday posted this picture of

620
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey and Houston, where he's supposed to be getting

621
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: back treatment with his agent. Um watching football, hanging out.

622
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: People erupted, as they do with anything Jalen Ramsey News updated.

623
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: But like we said, he was in seeing a back

624
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: specialist in Houston. Deshaun Watson and him are good friends,

625
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: but they should address it. They share with an agent

626
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: who's sitting there in the middle. Um, and make no

627
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: mistake about this is the agent sending a message. They

628
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: have no leverage. I think my opinion is is that

629
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: he made a bad business decision with the whole trade

630
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: request the week of the Houston laws. In the short week,

631
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: this is all they can do. Um, people who are mad,

632
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: here's here's my thought. You, Um, there's a moment where

633
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean he could play and should play somewhere in

634
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: between there right, Um, when he should be able to

635
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: play and it's cleared medically to play. If he doesn't play,

636
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: then you have a problem. If he's there visiting a

637
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: back specialist today, I don't care who he has dinner with, right,

638
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't care who hangs out with. Its none of

639
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: my business. Um. If if that is, you know, if

640
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: he's cleared medically to play, the better play or you've

641
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: got a problem the I think the agent is a problem. Anyway,

642
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: you can't do anything. It's a it's a bad look.

643
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: But young players these days care less about bad looks

644
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: then they did back when I was Um, so look, um,

645
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: if if if you're going to get mad at every

646
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: time Jalen Ramsey has a bad look in this situation,

647
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be mad a lot. Uh, I'm I

648
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: guess I'm just tired of the store now. Yeah, you know,

649
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people are tired of it. Um.

650
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't thinks are going to trade him. I think

651
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: if if he wants to play football, it's going to

652
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: be here and gets at some point it's gonna be

653
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: back in his court of do you want to play

654
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: football or not? I'm telling all I hear is they

655
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: are resolved that they are going to do it their

656
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: way and unless someone offers them a herschel Walker sort of,

657
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: my goodness, you couldn't turn that down, which nobody's gonna do.

658
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: Its happened since you've had that kind of deal, so

659
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: it's not likely to happen in two thousand and nineteen.

660
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: If that's not going to happen, then he's going to

661
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: play here or he's going to watch football from the

662
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: sidelines and tweet photos like that which are quiet desperate

663
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: plea for please pay attention to me. At some point. Well,

664

Speaker 1: You've teased it throughout the show. It better be a

707
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: good one, Bernie g lif On. I like that. Uh well,

708
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: I think DJ Start is on his way to being

709
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: a number one receiver, right And I say on his

710
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: way because there's still some things in terms of um,

711
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, consistently making the big third down, third and five,

712
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: turn that into a seven yard game every time there's

713
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: still some veteran stuff that he's got to do over

714
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: and over and over again. Before you look at him

715
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: and say, boy, he's really a one. Um, that's that's

716
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: minor nitpicking at this point. What I look at here

717
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: as a guy who's in five games this season now

718
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: consistently can do things. He consistently gets open on his

719
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: crossing routes, he consistently has a chance to make big play,

720
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: and he makes tough catches over and over and over again.

721
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: His body control, his athleticism, his speed, uh, and the

722
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: way he catches the ball. He catches the ball very cleanly.

723
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: He reminds me a touch at times of Justin Blackman

724
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: the way he catches it. And when I say that,

725
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: that's the highest compliment in terms of the way Justin

726
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: caught the ball, his hands were really really good. Um.

727
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: And there are times where DJ catches the ball in

728
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: traffic where he just snatches it like a big time receiver.

729
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: What you have to catch the ball outside your body. Um,

730
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: he's impressive. There are veteran things, and I know Keenan

731
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: is still working with them on that he's still got

732
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: to do, But boys, the potential there. I think he's

733
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: going to be the best receiver this team's had since

734
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith. High pointing the ball right where you go

735
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: up and take it away from He didn't do that. Um.

736
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: Last week in Denver, there was an opportunity to go

737
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: to leap to grab and snatch the ball away. They

738
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: call it high pointing. Um, that's something. You know, he's tall.

739
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: He's never really had to go way up because he's

740
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: got those long arms. His second touchdown, you know, he

741
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: reached up. You could see he need to high point.

742
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: We's gotta learn to do that because there's gonna be

743
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: opportunities for him where he is caught between two defenders

744
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: and he's got the long arms and the body to

745
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: go up and get it. The good news is there's

746
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: just so much room for him to get better, and

747
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: he's good right now. We all knew he had it,

748
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: especially we're talking about it during training camp this year.

749
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: We knew he had the potential. It was when he

750
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: was going to get there, and he said it throughout

751
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: the entire year so far that he was so impressed

752
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: with how the locker room stayed patient with him. Yeah. Well, receivers,

753
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, you often know they have it, but There's

754
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: often a lot of guys have it and never do it,

755
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: and they have the ability, they have everything that he's

756
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: got um and I credit Lockman for this. Jeff lockhaman

757
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: our analyst UM and former Jeguars defensive end, said all

758
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: last year, the way DJ worked on special teams, the

759
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: way that as a guy who wasn't starting yet he

760
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: committed to that he got better. He worked really hard

761
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: and cared about it. Jeff said all on that bodes

762
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: very well for how he's going to be as a

763
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: receiver in terms of his work. Ethic is desire to

764
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: get better, and he's shown it. It's a out of

765
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: I get mince hu mania, but to me, chart developing

766
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: is very close to being just as important as and

767
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: and just as impressed because he did not show this

768
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: last year. You take, I'm absolutely confident in this. This

769
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: is not just a throw a dart against the board.

770
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: But I believe that the Jaguars will hold Alvin Kamara

771
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: to less than a hundred yards rushing this Sunday. They're

772
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna sell out to stop the run. And I know

773
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: this is not a popular take this morning because a

774
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: lot of people are angry. They want someone to stand

775
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: in front of the firing squad for what happened yesterday.

776
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: But Myles Jack and Ronnie Harrison are two and and

777
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: and Quincy Williams, two people have been focused on him. Um,

778
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: but they are talented players, and they're young, and they

779
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: obviously have a lot to learn. But I think that

780
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: selling out this week and Todd Wash will beat that drum.

781
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara was held yesterday to sixty nine yards run

782
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: by Tampa, who's got a good defense. Um, I think

783
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: the Jag Warriors will sell out for the run, and

784
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: I think that they will hold Alvin Camor to less

785
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: than a hundred yards. It doesn't mean they have fixed

786
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: all their problems, but it means they're capable of fixing it,

787
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: and it's a step in the process. No doubt, it's

788
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: going to be an emphasis this week, you hope, so

789
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: at least know that they will they will stop him

790
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: this week. You say they've got to sell out the run, Well,

791
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, They've got to be focused

792
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: on that first. They also got to be focused on

793
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, one of the best receivers in the NFL,

794
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: and that brings me to mine. Go forward, assuming Jalen

795
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: Ramsey does not play on Sunday. We have no idea

796
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: whether that's going to happen right now as of Monday morning.

797
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: A J boy is going to stop Michael Thomas, one

798
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: of the best receivers in the NFL for the Saints.

799
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: And it's not going to be easy because yesterday he

800
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: had a hundred and eighty two yards and two touchdowns

801
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: in their win against the Bucks. But this is when

802
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: big time players shine against a good team at home.

803
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: A J boy is long overdue for a big performance

804
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: and what better than to go against one of the

805
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: best receivers in the league. Here's the thing you know

806
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: about Thomas, He's gonna get his catches, right. Uh. If

807
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't have that breakaway moment, if he doesn't have

808
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: that huge catch for a touchdown, UM, then it still

809
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: can be a win. I wouldn't judge it on how

810
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: many yards or how many catches. Will know at the

811
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: end of the game, whether if the jag Wars win

812
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: or lose. Um, whether a j did his job or not,

813
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: you just you'll feel it. But a guy like Michael

814
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: Thomas is going to have his numbers no matter what

815
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: you do. True true, as the young kids say, like John,

816
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: all right, John, you're ready speaking of young kids. Yes,

817
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: let's go to ozone. All right, let's go to Jeffrey

818
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: Atlantic Beach. Brian's neck of the Woods got it tough loss.

819
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: But the more I see of minto, the more I'm

820
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: convinced he's the long term answer at quarterback. As poorly

821
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: as the Jags played Sunday, I never felt that they

822
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,479
Speaker 1: were out of the game because of him. I can't

823
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: say that for past seasons, you know, and uh, Brian,

824
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: we touched on it throughout the show. It's everything, you know,

825
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: all of the other little topics we talk about, from

826
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: fumbles to even run defense. It just shows you what

827
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: we talk about over and over and over game with

828
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: this league. If you've got a functioning quarterback, a guy

829
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: who you trust, a guy who can turn third night

830
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: and first down and keep it, it dwarfs everything else.

831
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: And as poorly as a lot of things went, and

832
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: as weird as a lot of things have gone this season,

833
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: the fact that you've got that is why I think

834
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: about this. The Jaguars record after five games last year

835
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: was three and two. They're two and three. Now. You

836
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: feel so much better about this season than you did

837
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: come out of Kansas City last year because the quarterback

838
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: can play. Um, I like ribs, really good ribs. Let's

839
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: just cut the show off there, thank you and good night.

840
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: And what Minshew feels like to me, it's, you know,

841
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta taste of you gotta bite of

842
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: the rib against pandasit and you thought, well, I mean,

843
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: is there going to be another one of these? And

844
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: then you've got another bite of the rib against Houston?

845
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: And then what is there more? Right? You know, It's

846
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: just you keep fighting and chewing and swallowing and enjoying it,

847
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: and you keep thinking there's more to eat. There's more.

848
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: Minshew keeps offering you more. It's ribs tantalized me. I

849
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: can't wait to have another bite of that. And so

850
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the fact that there appears to be another

851
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: bite this week. Let's see what there is. I have

852
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: never been I have never in my life than I

853
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: am right now. I hope someone What do you want

854
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: me to say? I really like him. I really like him.

855
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: He's really good. He's really good. I get to see

856
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: him again next week. It's really hopeful. How about just

857
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: a little color, a little flair all these starved till

858
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: Thursday may not eat again, and you've never had really

859
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: good ribs. Let's go to Mark from Archer, Florida. John,

860
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: I think the Jags defense defense needs to stop walking

861
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: around acting like they're one of the best defenses in

862
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: the league. They're just too inconsistent in my opinion. They

863
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: may have talented players, but they're just playing horrible. Yeah.

864
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: And um, I think it's more, you know, I don't

865
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: get the idea that the defensive players right now are

866
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: are are walking around acting like they're they worked in

867
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: the locker room. I think this is more, um, your

868
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: anger because the inbox after loss is always an angry place. Um.

869
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: I think it's more people around the team, such as us,

870
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: believe that this thing was built around the defense, and

871
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: there's almost an assumption they'll be fine. So I think

872
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: this Houston and Titans game, they played lights out, play

873
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: great football. Um. But there's there's no question that still

874
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: as good as Minshew is and it's it's goods the

875
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: offense is playing if if the defense just plays to

876
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: its level of the first five games, which has been

877
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: two really good games. One man, I consider Denver and

878
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: Men because they got a lot of things done and

879
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: two bad games. They can't be five hundred in terms

880
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: of good performances as a defense and make a playoffs.

881
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: It's they have to play better defensively or they have

882
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: to have a good defensive games more of than not

883
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: for this team to be a playoff team. This is

884
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: not in e lite defense. But they're better than average

885
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: and and I think look, not having Jalen is a

886
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: big part of it. I mean, he's your best defensive player.

887
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: He's not on the field, he's not taking a quarter

888
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: or third or a half of the field away. At

889
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: times it hurts not to have him. But even without him,

890
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: they're capable of so much more than this. I think

891
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: they can be a top ten to twelve in other

892
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: words of playoff caliber defense. If that's all they are,

893
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 1: it appears minshow's good enough to make you, you know,

894
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: take you the rest of the way, which you can't

895
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: be bad defensively because the kid is not meaning minshew.

896
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: If you if you put him in ten shootouts there

897
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: are quarterbacks he you would say we're gonna win eight

898
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: to those. I don't think he's there yet. So the

899
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: defense has to be better. Let's be let's be clear

900
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: about this. Also, there's people celebrating Kyle Allen the quarterback

901
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: this morning in Carolina. Kyle Allen did not beat the Jaguars.

902
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: McCaffrey beat the Jaguars, Yes, yeah, and had some relacuracy

903
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: issues that. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it's that he is

904
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: not even on the same plane with Minshew in my opinion.

905
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 1: But people, reality's you know, he's the first quarterback since

906
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: the win, his first four starts or whatever it is,

907
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The Jaguars problem was their inability to

908
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: stoff the run. That is what beat them up there yesterday,

909
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: and that, as we've said, is fixable. Yeah, Kyle Allen

910
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 1: handed it off to McCaffrey the entire game, But who's

911
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: callen was unimpressive? Yes, all right, let's go to another

912
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: mark from Florida to wrap it up. Do you think

913
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: Miles Jack is a major liability as an undersized linebacker,

914
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: looks small, doesn't play smart, keeps making the same mistake. Well,

915
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a liability, but he has to

916
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: play better than he has so far this season, and uh,

917
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: it's disappointing that he hasn't. I wouldn't say it's his

918
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: size and would. I mean, he he's making the same mistake.

919
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's uh, that's what you can't have

920
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: when you paid this guy to be a defensive leader. Uh,

921
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: he needs to be trending more towards Luke Keikley. That's

922
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: sort of the goal of that position in this league

923
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: right now. And he's not. And I think he'd be

924
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: the first one to tell you since he got paid,

925
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: he hasn't played very well. Uh you see a flash

926
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: here and there of what he's capable of. He's not

927
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: undersized by the way, I mean, for for a linebacker

928
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: in the modern era. In this era, he is. He's

929
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: a little big, Yeah, he's not. I mean yesterday he

930
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: looks smaller because Keikley is the model that you choose

931
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: allowed to be a middle linebacker. So you're not gonna

932
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: look like that guy. But he's fine in terms of

933
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: side he's everything's they're capable wise, he's just not playing

934
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: all No, he's not. It's between the ears right now

935
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: and he knows that. He said that yesterday. He has

936
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: the flashes though, I mean the fork down stop third

937
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: down when he was going to cover Christian McCaffrey like

938
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: a cornerback and broke up the past. There's flashes. Just

939
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: consider you gotta keep coaching him because you paid him.

940
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: He's going to be here and in the middle. He

941
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: can't just flash because if he if if he plays poorly,

942
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: it shows up every play. Um So was in on

943
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: almost every tackle between the tackles. It's got to be

944
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a

945
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 1: fan base level player like they love Luke Keeckley. Yeah,

946
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: good play, great player, model linebacker, that's for sure. Right

947
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: when we come back to wrap up the show, some

973
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: with some NFL headlines. The first one hot off the

974
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: press well this morning, and this is Jake Gruden getting fired,

975
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: which they apparently did before the sun was up in

976
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: d C this morning. It's no surprise to anyone. It's

977
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: been in the rumor mill. But I thought that the

978
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: most telling part was last week when he quietly let

979
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: it be known that he wouldn't have drafted the quarterback

980
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. To me, that was almost him giving up

981
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: than hadn't with this guy anyway, and and wanting out

982
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: of the situation. You grew up following that club. Bad

983
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: situation there of them, Now, that's that's a proud franchise

984
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: that used to filling their building into They're irrelevant in

985
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: the picture right now. Well, it's been twenty seven years

986
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: since they want to about eight and it's been fifteen

987
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: since they want to playoff game. Yeah, it's been mediocre

988
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: for a long time, and clearly the franchise believes that

989
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins is their way out. So the the interesting

990
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: story nine is gonna be, now, will Bruce Allen hire

991
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: the best coach or the best coach who tells him

992
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: he will work and likes Dwayne Haskins. Well, right, because

993
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: you've just hired I'll attracted the job. I guess how

994
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: many people are gonna go, Well, I I don't like

995
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. I don't want have to go yeah, because

996
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: that's really the key. You're you're putting your name next

997
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: to your quarterback, especially one that is rookie year. Absolutely. Um.

998
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: In Atlanta, it's gotten really bad. They've lost three in

999
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: a row. I mean, this is a team with Matt

1000
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: Ryan and Julio Jones. Calvin Ridley was a fourth last

1001
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: year for them. That's a defensive coach right there. And

1002
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn. Uh, he needed a vote of confidence last

1003
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: night from Arthur Blank, who said they're holding firm for

1004
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: an out. Um. They've got a couple of really challenging matchups.

1005
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: They go play the Cardinals, who you know, they beat

1006
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals that it's not necessarily a gimme, um, But

1007
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: then they have the Rams and the Seahawks before the bye.

1008
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: Hold on on this one, um. If if they stumble

1009
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: next week in Arizona, Arthur Blank could be making a

1010
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: change with the n Quinn there and just a few

1011
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: short years ago that was a team that played in

1012
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And that would be too. I mean, I

1013
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: get that it might happen, and it's the texture of

1014
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: the NFL these days. Firing Quinn, to me, would be

1015
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: different than firing Gruden. With Gruden You've got a situation

1016
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: where it's clearly a a rebuild around a quarterback, and

1017
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: if he has said he doesn't like this quarterback, then

1018
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: there's no reason to keep it. Uh, Quinn would fall

1019
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: into the category of really, what else are you gonna

1020
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: do at this point? That, I mean, why not wait

1021
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: to the n Seas and make a clean break it.

1022
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: Most of the time, I don't get in mid season

1023
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: coach firing because it just it doesn't achieve, which is

1024
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: turning the thing around. It's sort of changed for the

1025
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: sake of chance age, which that's what happened final one.

1026
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you guys, I woke up this

1027
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: morning and saw the score of the Kansas City game,

1028
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: and I mean, kudos to Indianapolis. I'm a believer now

1029
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: their offensive line dominated, but it hasn't helped. Mahomes injured

1030
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: his ankle here on opening Day, remember, and he's been

1031
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: playing through it and playing with it. He tweaked it

1032
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,479
Speaker 1: again last night and it was noticeable. Um, if he's

1033
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: not a percent, if he's still struggling, and you Tyreek

1034
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: Hill isn't playing, they've got some injuries on the offensive line.

1035
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: They could be vulnerable in a couple of situations. Here

1036
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 1: they get the Patriots coming up not too long into

1037
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: the future, the Raiders are playing well. Um, it's you know,

1038
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,479
Speaker 1: it seemed for a moment like who can stop these guys?

1039
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: But if Mahomes is hobbled, his mobility is you know,

1040
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: it's got to slide a little bit. He's not a

1041
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: running quarterback, but it's tough to get to him because

1042
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 1: he's so good in the pocket. Um watch that ankle injury.

1043
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: It'll be worth it's it. It will play a part

1044
00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: I think in the power of the a And as

1045
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: impressive as the Colts were offensive line, it was their

1046
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: defense that was also impression. I mean they pressured him throughout.

1047
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: They took advantage of the fact that they had the

1048
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: bad ankle. Um, it's gonna be up and down with

1049
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: the Colts because the quarterback is not Andrew Luck, So

1050
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: they will I think lack those two or three unbelievable

1051
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: games that he gives you, which gets you maybe over

1052
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: the top from ten and six, twelve and four type guy. Uh.

1053
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: But they're good enough that they're going to be around

1054
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: and they did it. Here was the really impressive for

1055
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: they did it without Darius Leonard who I think is

1056
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe their best defensive player. He's had an actually starting staying.

1057
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they were down on defense and absolutely dominating Kansas.

1058
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: All sorts of issues in the secondary, and you think,

1059
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play Patrick Mahomes, you better have those

1060
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: ironed out. They didn't, and they still want so an

1061
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: impressive win and with that, the Jaguars are now one

1062
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: game behind in the a FC South, behind the Colts

1063
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,840
