Drew, good morning, Thank 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: you for joining us. Oh, thanks for having me. Great 9 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: to be with you. Hope you're doing all right. We 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: are doing great. And I want to know about this 11 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Texans team. We spoke to some players and coaches on 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: Monday and they said, do not be fooled. This Texans 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: team is better than their record show. So where are 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: the Texans right now? Is they coming to Jacksonville on Sunday? 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: That is true, they are better than last year, but 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 1: they're still oh three and one, and there's nothing real 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: really smile about when you think about that record. On 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: the whole. However, there are some bright spots, and the 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: brightest of them all is a guy who's very, very 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: familiar to all of you back there in Jacksonville. Damian Pierce, 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: the running back, has been a breath of share ever 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: since the pads came on. In training camp, you took notice. 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: And then in the preseason game he was clearly the 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: best guy, the best weapon out there for the team, 25 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: so much so that he averaged about seven eight nine 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: yards and can carry in the preseason opener. They held 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: him out of that second preseason game because they said, hey, 28 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: we've seen enough. And then he comes in and basically 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: over four games he's averaging about sixteen seventeen touches per 30 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: and he just cracked the hundred yard mark last Sunday, 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: largely apart to a seventy five yard touchdown run. But 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: you take that run out of the mix and he 33 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: still was good for about four point three yards per carry. 34 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: And this was a Texans team that was dead last 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL in yards per carry last year, only 36 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: three point four. So even when he wasn't peeling off 37 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: monster runs, he was still doing his job and getting 38 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: four point three. So this guy has been ex silent. 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: One weird little anomally from last week in the stat 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: line he caught six passes, but he only got eight 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: yards off and a lot of that, A lot of 42 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: was kind of due to ball placement. I mean he 43 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: was having a sort of contort his body on the 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: run and reach behind himself. I think if he gets 45 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: the ball just where it needs to be, he's gonna 46 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: get some good yardage catching the ball as well. So 47 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: he's been excellent, but the run defense hasn't been good. 48 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: The defense as a whole has given up big plays 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: when they can't and David s Mills he's just gotta 50 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: play better, and he said so himself. He's got to 51 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: make the throws when needed and it's been a struggle 52 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: in that department. And Drew, I thought you were going 53 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: to say that Lovey Smith was the bright spot because 54 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: when I watched this team, I do see a very 55 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: well coached team, and I know the defense is his 56 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: forte and obviously we all understand it's about having the 57 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: talent to execute the defense that he wants. But to me, 58 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: to be able to come back like they did from 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: the big deficit last week shows us the kind of 60 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: coaching that they're getting. And I've been impressed with what 61 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: I've read and heard from Lovey Smith's know far, Yeah, 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: you're spot on in that regard. And love. He's been 63 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: around the block. He knows what's going on, and it 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: makes all the sense in the world. Even when he 65 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: was in the building last year, he had a gravitass 66 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: to him and has a gravitass to him that you 67 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: can understand why guys like Brian or Locker and guys 68 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: like Devin Hester. One's in the Hall of Fame. One 69 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: will be someday. But when we high when the Texas 70 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: hired him, love you Smith for for real as the 71 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: head coach. In the off season, we talked with those 72 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: guys and they said, you're getting a hell of a leader. 73 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: You're getting a guy who's gonna be buttoned up and 74 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: knowing what's going on and you will not make um 75 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: mental errors like like we've seen here in the past. 76 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, I love you Smith. Has been a bright 77 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: spot in that beard. I mean, it's uh, it's gorgeous, 78 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: isn't it. We could all we could all learn a 79 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: thing or two from growing a beard like that, right, 80 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: He's very self self aware, very confident man to have 81 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: that beard. Absolutely, Yeah, he's not coming up the chimney 82 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: at night on December. I mean, that's the only other 83 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: guy I think they can get away with something like 84 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: that probably, so uh. Obviously, Davis Mills right now playing 85 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: like a different quarterback than he did the last five 86 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: games last season. Um, do you see a difference? Is 87 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: what's going on around him? Assays that if you will, Yeah, 88 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: it's tough, John, It's he's making throws sometimes. You know, 89 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: in the third quarter he threaded some one in Nico 90 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: Collins for fifty nine yards. Then right next play he 91 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: hits Brandon Cooks for an eighteen yard touchdown. But it 92 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: took until last week, until the third quarter of last 93 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: game four Mills to throw a touchdown past to a 94 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: wide receiver, to throw a touchdown pass to a non 95 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: tight end because Rex Burke had also caught one. In 96 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: the first three games, there were three touchdowns total, and 97 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: they'd all go on to tight ends. So he'll do 98 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: the good things here and there, but then again he'll 99 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: he'll struggle at other times and it is a combination 100 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: of of many things. You know, he'll get rocked for 101 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: a sack and it seems like that's been the case 102 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, where either the ball come loose 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: and the Texans will pounce back on it or lose 104 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: a fumble or or something like that. But it's just 105 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: been up and down and they really need to see 106 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: consistent consistency from him. But that's the beauty of this 107 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: league is if you make one or two mistakes a 108 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: game games over and you don't win. And they haven't. 109 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: They haven't made the plays when they've needed to, and 110 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: they've lost four very winnable games. But they've lost and 111 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: and and the other team has played better when they 112 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: needed to Andrew. When we look at this game on Sunday, 113 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: I don't even want to call it a rivalry because 114 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: Brian told me the SAD a couple of mornings ago 115 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: that the Texans have won eight straight and the Jaguars 116 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: have not beaten the Texans since two thousand and seventeen. 117 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: I was shocked, and then I looked it up and 118 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: it is true. So what is this Texans teams saying 119 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: about the Jaguars right now? We believe they're much improved. 120 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: Do the Texans see that as well? Well? Absolutely? I 121 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: mean how can you not? I mean this this team 122 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: is so much better. Uh and and it's in I think, 123 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: such a better situation. You guys asked me about Lovey Smith. 124 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we can come right back at you about 125 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, I mean, he seems like he's gotten everything 126 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: on the right track. And what sure helps having some 127 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: some more defensive talent like you and you guys know 128 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: better than me. But goodness, gracious, Devin Lloyd is somebody 129 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 1: that a lot of I think a lot of people 130 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: in the mock draft season. Uh, there are a few 131 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: that's that could see him coming to the Texans and 132 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: it didn't happen, But that would have been fine, and 133 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: I think he would have worked out fine on just 134 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: about any team. That guy is really really impressive out 135 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: of Utah. So yeah, the Texans, No, this is not 136 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a guinea game, not that it ever is, 137 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: but they know that this is a salty Jaguars team 138 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: and they've got to be ready because you know, they 139 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: need this. The Texans absolutely need this like oxygen. They're 140 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: the last winless team in the NFL. Going to be 141 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: an interesting game here in Jacksonville on Sunday. Drew, we 142 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: will see you here. Thank you so much for your time. Hey, 143 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: thanks so much for having me. Great to see all 144 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: three of you.

Getting ready for a home 151 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: game this Sunday against the Tucsans, a big a f 152 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: C South matchup. Brian Ashlan and John here with you. 153 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for big things? Shall we do it? 154 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: Let's go? Big Thing One is calm. There is no 155 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: sense of panic in this building, even after losing to 156 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles last week and a somewhat close game, but 157 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: with five turnovers, rapidly improving this team like we just 158 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: talked about with Drew Doherty and competing in the a 159 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: f C South for the lead. It's all thanks to 160 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: Coach Peterson and his personality in this building. But at 161 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: the same time, you know, if if I'm the one 162 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: that's all over the place emotionally, uh, there's no calmness 163 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: amongst the team, and and I feel like if I'm calmed, 164 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: their calm. You know, if I'm erratic, they could be 165 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: erratic and and so it's a little bit a little 166 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: bit of both, probably my personality. But at the same time, 167 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that and I don't 168 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: ever want us to let the opponent know that they've 169 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: gotten under your skin too, you know, and and and 170 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: all of that. So we just we just stay stay 171 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: the stay. Of course, big thing too is confident that 172 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Jaguars are riding a quarterback Trevor Lawrence, of course, because 173 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: he is the franchise quarterback, and aren't really worried about 174 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the five turnovers. They more asso see it as a 175 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: blimp on the radar. He's just saying, you know, whether 176 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: whether he's having the best game or whether he feels 177 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: like he's you know, not playing like he's supposed to be. Um. 178 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: And you know that's why we have guys like Marv 179 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: and Pristian and Zay especially, you know, keep the energy high. 180 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Especially what Trevor, he's such a young quarterback. Um, he's 181 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: got a lot on his play and um, you know 182 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: we're riding with him whether he's you know, throwing for 183 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: five hunting yards or whether he's you know, playing in 184 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: a sloppy weather game like that yesterday. So um, you 185 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: know we're gonna ride with Chever because he's he's a 186 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: leader of this team. Whether he um really realized it 187 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: or not, he's so young, but you know we're riding 188 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: with sixteen into the wheels for all off and Big Thing. 189 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: Big Thing three is critical. Sunday is a huge game 190 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: for both teams and a critical win for the Jaguars 191 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: and the Texans, who are winless right now in the 192 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: a f C South. The big matchup in this division, 193 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: and the Texans have beaten the Jaguars the past eight games. 194 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd knows this defense can be better this week. 195 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: I'd say, um, defensively, um, I mean it really just 196 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: as a whole um, you know, coach, staff, players will 197 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: understand how to you know, improve basically from this game. 198 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: You know, there were certain things that we did this 199 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: game that you know, I feel like in some ways, 200 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, we made it harder than what it needed 201 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: to be. And so really just you know, funning way 202 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: to clean it out. And that is Big Things. As 203 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: we go back up to Big Thing one, the calmness 204 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: in the building thanks to head coach Doug Peterson. But 205 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: I also think there's a sense of no panic because 206 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: of the way the Jaguars did play on Sunday. Yes, 207 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: the turnovers, but you still made it a close game 208 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: against a very talented team. I think if they got 209 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: their doors blown off by maybe it's a different story. Well, 210 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: I still don't think you would have seen a strong 211 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: visceral reaction from Doug. I mean I was watching carefully 212 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: and I did not um, which is impressive because I 213 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been. I'm not that type of person. I 214 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: can't be that calm um. I said it when we 215 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: first got a feel for him in the offseason, John, 216 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: he's like a big brother. I mean, he's got got 217 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: his arm around this place. You know, a franchise that's 218 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: kind of desperate to win and anxious about what kind 219 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: of team they're gonna have when they sell tickets. I mean, 220 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: this whole franchise just needed to calm down, and I 221 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: think Doug has been that guy just kind of put 222 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: his arm around the franchise metaphorically speaking, and said, let 223 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: me show you how we're gonna do this. Yeah, a 224 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: couple of thoughts. Um, he's calm. But I also liked 225 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: on Monday when he said, uh, he basically said, okay, 226 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: we can be calm, and we can take these things 227 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: as learning experiences. But we also can't wait too long 228 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: to learn from him and have results, because all of 229 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: a sudden, the season gets away from you. So I 230 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: liked that because it did show a sense of urgency 231 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: within it. And I think Doug will remain calm. I 232 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: asked him the question. I've been fascinated by how he's 233 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: been able to keep this thing on an even keel. 234 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: I think he'll remain calm, but this week has a 235 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: different feel in terms of around the organization. I think 236 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: this is a big game in terms of keeping everybody calm. 237 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: You lose the Texans, and all of a sudden, I 238 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: think a lot of fans and observers start looking at 239 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: the season differently, rightly or wrongly. That will happen. So 240 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: it's a big win for a lot of reasons. If 241 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: you win Sunday, I'm going on a big thing three 242 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: a little bit without your help, Ashally, sorry, but it's 243 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: a big game Sunday for that reason because if you win, 244 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: then everything about the first four season weeks you've been 245 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: saying still sort of makes sense. If you don't, then 246 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I think people start to panic, 247 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: because that's the nature of fans. There'll be a k 248 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: but the fans will look at and be like, they're 249 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: they're not gonna Let just let me help you with 250 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: this one. They're not gonna lose on Sunday because they're 251 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: big toe. They're big toe. We'll be back. And by 252 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: that you have not probably seen the movie stripes, but 253 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: you have remember when when Bill Murray says Sergeant Hulko 254 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: was our big toe. Um, I just laughing as as 255 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: I was listening to Agnew there. Um, this guy is 256 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: their guy. He is the balance, and I expect, just 257 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: like he did from week one to week two, I 258 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: expect Trevor Lawrence to learn quickly, rapidly from the mistakes 259 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: of last week and come out against the Texans team. Hey, 260 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: was the last time we said Jaguars should win this 261 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: their favored they're the better team. It's been a long time. 262 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: That's the case. On Sunday, it's Legends weekend. There's more legends, 263 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: by the way, more alumni who will be here for 264 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: this game than at any point in any alumni weekend history. Uh. 265 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: And it's Posselli's ring ceremony. No no, no, no, they're 266 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: walking into a trap this week. There's no panic. This 267 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: franchise is a big game, but this is one that 268 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: I expect to see Doug Peterson's calm, resolve and Trevor 269 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: Lawrence's return to be things that will lead to them 270 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: getting a big win in a big game. I love 271 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: your confidence. How can you not be confident that? I'm confidence, 272 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: But the reality is this team has not been in 273 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: this situation. This is not that team though, right, but 274 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: this team has not been in that situation. You gotta 275 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: go do it improve that you are as good as 276 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: you think were. They not in that situation a week 277 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: two coming back against what they weren't favorite, but but 278 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: facing a pretty important game. There are a lot of 279 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: questions going into weeks about what this team was. Now 280 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: we know what we think they are. They got to 281 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: prove that they're what we think they are. I get 282 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: your point. I'm swinging for the fences and saying that 283 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: they're going to run rough shot. When you look at 284 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: the matchup, the Jaguars should win. An I'm not even 285 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: looking at the matchup yet. I am just listening to 286 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: players and coaches and and basing on the way that 287 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: they rebounded from Week one to week two, and then 288 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: they went and took care of business in week three yep. 289 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: Five turnovers week four. But as we've talked about, there 290 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: was still a moment where they could have captured this 291 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: game in the third quarter and the fourth quarter. That's 292 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: not the same team that we've seen. I just if 293 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: they are what we think they are, they they go 294 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: in and the weather is going to be much better. 295 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: Should I bring up the weather again last Sunday? Please 296 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: please don't. It's gonna be gorgeous weather. Our coworkers are 297 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: like Ashlyn, did you go to war? My gosh, you're 298 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: a bit dramatic about the one. It's going to be 299 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: a spectacular Sunday, and I know John is eager to 300 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: put the Baselli Ring ceremony I mean center and missed 301 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: that one. That headline. Yeah, it's going to be a 302 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: special Sunday. You know, win would make it even better. 303 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely all that.

I've always drive time time for some 309 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: this or that on a Wednesday morning, Brian, what you 310 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: got for us? All right? So who is more important 311 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: to get started quickly? Right? I don't mean more important, 312 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: like more important overall, but getting the offense in gear? 313 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: Does James Robinson satisfy that equation? Or is Christian Kirk 314 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: the right guy? Who do you have to get involved 315 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: earlier to make everything go the way you wanted to go? 316 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: John Decisions Decisions. I'm gonna say Christian because it felt 317 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: like when they didn't have him involved last week that 318 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: the passing game just couldn't get started. I felt like 319 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: overall they got j rob going and because of the turnovers, 320 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: couldn't keep them going. So I sort of feel like 321 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: they need to have both. But I'm gonna go with 322 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: Christian for that reason. Then I don't I don't feel 323 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: like the running game isn't going to be there when 324 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: everything else is going along with it, So I'll say 325 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. I think you need Christian and Z back 326 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: because I think we saw the absence of Z Jones too, 327 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: and maybe that freed up some things first Jamal Agnew, 328 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: but we saw when Christian couldn't get going. The offense 329 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: couldn't get going. But the question was, I'm adding to it, 330 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: she's the hope. Okay, you can put a little addition 331 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: Mark and z Jones under Christian Kirk. I'm going to 332 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: combine them. I'm going to make it a passing game 333 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: because I think Doug Peterson has made it clear that 334 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: this is not a team that uses the run to 335 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: set up the pass, you know, like the old Raiders 336 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: teams that would draw the safeties up having to stop 337 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: the running and go over the top. This is a 338 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: team that will throw the ball and use the run 339 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: off the pass. So I think Kirk is the guy 340 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: who needs to get going early. And z Jones evidently, yeah, 341 00:16:54,200 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: he's important. Ye go John Enough Mine was and I'll 342 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: read it the perfect are we gonna see this weekend? 343 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: The quote perfect team of weeks two and three or 344 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: the mistake prone team of weeks two and four, Weeks 345 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: one and four. I got this question a lot. You know, um, yeah, 346 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: they were so good and then so bad. You know, 347 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be somewhere in the middle. But 348 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: I really do believe they're gonna be closer to weeks 349 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: two and three. Because of this, I don't think they 350 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: were necessarily incredibly mistake prone in Week one, with the 351 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 1: exception of some penalties and some misthrows. I mean, right, 352 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: the penalties. I don't think the turnovers that we saw 353 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: in week four are going to be anything close to 354 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: the norm going forward. So I think they're gonna be 355 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: closer to a zero one turnover team than they are 356 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: a disaster wheels come off teams. So I'll say weeks 357 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: two and three, I'll say weeks two and three all 358 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: show primarily because I think that this coaching staff has 359 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: proved an their medal, right, I mean from week one 360 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: to week two, they went from thirteen turn penalties to 361 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: three and then they went to two. Uh, and they 362 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: didn't have many last week either. The turnovers, I think 363 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: we're in aberration. I think it's a well coached team. 364 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a team with more talent than we've 365 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: seen around here since two thousand seventeen. It is a 366 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: very talented team. They're young, but they're well coached, so 367 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: that kind of offsets it a little bit. But I 368 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: do think we're gonna see you know, bad Jaguars again 369 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: this year because of the youth in the inexperience. There's 370 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: gonna be a moment at some point in the next 371 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: six or seven weeks we're like, oh, here we go again. 372 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's one for one. In other words, 373 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: I don't think this is you know, bad good good 374 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: bad bad good good. I mean, there's no pattern to it. 375 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: There's just gonna be a moment, whether it's the weather, 376 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: whether it's travel, whatever it is, where we're going to 377 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: see the bad Jaguars again this year happens, or just 378 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: facing a very good team. Used to say when they 379 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: go up to play the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, 380 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: we might see a little of that. That's a talented 381 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: young team that is very well coached. And so for 382 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: that reason answer John's question, I expect weeks two and 383 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: three to be here on Sunday of a few more 384 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: weeks two and three where they're really really good and 385 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: they've got that in I don't think you'll see a 386 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: game with nearly as much sloppiness again as the Eagles, 387 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: because I think so much of that was the weather. Well, 388 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: and I think Ashton, I guess the weather was bad 389 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: started with you on that one. The weather, I can't 390 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: stop talking about it. You just took your code off, 391 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: I think for the first time all week. Oh my god, 392 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm still not over it. All right, my this or that. 393 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: I was going through the Jaguars schedule last week and 394 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: my dad always called me and we always talk about this, 395 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: how many games the job was gonna win. We go 396 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: through the schedule, and in August during training camp, my 397 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: dad was sold, Okay, they're gonna win five games, like 398 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: all Dad. Maybe I don't know now going through this schedule, 399 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: is this team a seven win team or is this 400 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: a nine win team? I have upped my ratio because 401 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: of how the Jaguars played in weeks two and three. 402 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: The difference between seven win and nine win team is 403 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: a wild card birth most likely. Well, so where are 404 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: there as the team? I thought they were seven win 405 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: teams starting camp, but then they stole one in Los Angeles. 406 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: But I didn't think they would get so now I think, 407 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: by default I have to say that they're a nine 408 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: win team, although I think, look, the Colts aren't. I've 409 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: made this clip. I don't think the Cults are any 410 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: good at all. Um, so you're stealing another one in 411 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: any well, I don't they have injuries still, so yeah, 412 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you can go get another one, but I 413 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: think the division is eminently is in their grasp. Right, 414 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: you gotta go win this week. But if you do, 415 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: I think they can make a run at the division, 416 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: which I've said since Week two. And if you do that, 417 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: then you're a nine win You're not gonna win the 418 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: division at seven, right, You're gonna have to go to nine. 419 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: So because of previous things I've said and seen, I'll 420 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: say they're nine wins. Yeah, I think they have a 421 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: chance to get nine. Um, I think they're a nine 422 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: win team. I'll say this if they win Sunday, and 423 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: they win with a nice win, meaning in the second half, 424 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: you feel like they're in control. I think they're the 425 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: better team if they play like get if if they 426 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: can sort of pass that test where you say, okay, 427 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna win the games that we 428 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: feel like they should win going forward, then I think 429 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: they're definitely nine. If they come out and you feel 430 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: like they didn't handle that very well, then I'm dice here, 431 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: So I'll say nine today. I think I didn't think 432 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: can really put a stamp on that. On Sundays, I 433 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: just I want to go back to something I said 434 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: the other day, and that is, even really good teams 435 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: like the Super Bowl Colts in two thousand six, have 436 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: a moment where you're like, oh, I'm not sure if 437 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: they're good enough, right when they gave up rushing yards 438 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: here in December and Tony Dungee, calm right, we'll get 439 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: this fixed. They got it fixed. So I'm That's why 440 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm bullish on this team right now, is because I 441 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: think this is the right guy to deal with tough 442 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: circumstances that it's hard to explain, and to focus this 443 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: team on forward, you know, on the issues of the Texans, 444 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: and not worry too much about the Eagles. So that's 445 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: why I think that this is a team than we 446 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: all thought they could be. This for sure. I mean, 447 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have had to this or that with seven 448 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: or nine wins in August. We would have had a 449 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: five or seven maybe, and that would have been more realistic. 450 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: And that is this start that presented by Price dot Com. 451 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: And we come back on Jaguars Drive Time. Some closing thoughts. 452 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Baptist Health in Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine 453 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars back for one more segment, 454 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive time on a wins getting ready for head 455 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson to join us in about an hour 456 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: in a press conference, back in the locker room, back 457 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: on the practice field, getting ready for a home game 458 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: at this Sunday, and it's a busy one at that. 459 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: I know you are knee deep and Tony Boselli Hall 460 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: of Fame coverage for Sunday. I have been um more 461 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: involved in that than almost anything, um it. Tony has been. 462 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: I know, John, you're going to just really your rise 463 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: with this. He's been a pleasure to deal with on 464 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: this one because he genuinely appreciates how the franchise has 465 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: handled this entire thing. And as we said, his love 466 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: for the franchise in the city will come shining through 467 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: this weekend. Saturday night's the toast for Tony. It's the 468 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: debut of seventy one, which is this department, this organization's 469 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: documentary on him. And I know he's excited about that. 470 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: And I've heard from a lot of alum who are 471 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: going to be here this week and and I just said, 472 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: it was the biggest group of a Lum, I think 473 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: that we've ever had. And I think that's in large 474 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: part because, and I'll give you one example, Tony Brackens 475 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: is coming right, um. And Brackens hasn't come to anything right. Um, 476 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: He's just not that guy. He went back to his 477 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: ranch on Texas and went back to his life and 478 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: left this behind. But he and Tony practiced against each 479 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: other every single day. And Brackens, I think it's still 480 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: the best defensive player this franchise has ever had, And 481 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: Tony Boselli is the best offensive player. Um, with all 482 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: due respect to Fred Taylor. UM. So I think that 483 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: shows you the respect. And I'm excited to see some 484 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: of these guys come back. It would be really cool. 485 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking before to that night, are you actually Yeah? 486 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: I kid Tony because I saw him the other day. 487 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: I said, look after Sunday, can we finally definitely stop 488 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: honoring you? I mean, at some point, how much more 489 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: do you need to hear? But it's uh, it's an 490 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: incredibly deserved honor.
