1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Time, Dick Ashlyn Sullimsells, John Oceans, 2 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: Bryan Sexton, Jangs Drive Time. When it starts right now, 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Drive Time. It is Thursday morning, the 4 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: Jaguars getting ready for a home game against the San 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners here on Sunday at one o'clock. Supposed 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: to be beautiful weather here in Jacksonville. We're excited for it. 7 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: We're excited for two home games in a row. Come on, 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: jag come on home. And I think these are two 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: games that the Jaguars, if they play well and create turnovers, 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: can win. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean when you looked at 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: the schedule and you saw the Niners and we all 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: expected more from that team this year, and the Falcons, 13 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: you thought, okay, those are gonna be matchup problems. But 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: the way the defense is playing right now, and if 15 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: you can get a solid running effort um, you know, 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: these are two where the Jaguars can get attraction in 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: this seven game stretch. Can. But let's I mean, I 18 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: said can. I didn't say will, I said can. It's 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: been an amazing thing this week. I'm getting all these 20 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: emails about hey, forty are four and five. This is 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: a game the Jaguars should get. I'm not going to 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: put it in should I mean, and the forty Niners 23 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: are saying the exact same thing. Well they are, and 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: they deserve to be saying the exact same thing, because 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: the forty Niners are they have a better roster and 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: a physical team. Talking to Bucky Brooks and the Huddle 27 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: that podcast last night, he watches the entire league much 28 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: more than I do. Said, out of all the team's 29 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Jags play, this is the one that will test them physically, 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: even beyond the Titans, even beyond the Colts, this is 31 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: the most physical thing they'll face a huge test for 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: this defense line. Well, when you look which is worth quick, 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: when you look at their roster, they have George Kittle, 34 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Um Deebo, Samuel Um, Eric Armstead, they have Fred Warner. 35 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: They have four or five players who you can right 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: now say they're in the top five at their position. Yeah. Right, 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: So you've got to be able to go match up 38 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: with those guys. But they're coming across the country after 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Monday night game playing what's a ten o'clock game. At 40 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: the third time, your defense is playing well, you could 41 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: if you create turnovers and play well, get a win. 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: Now I'm smiling, Slynn because, as he said, George Kittle, 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, if I was at offensive coordinator, I would 44 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: have a package of plays called kid all over the 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: middle and just call it. That's just how well you're 46 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: not the offensive coordinator. But I see where you're going 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: with that. Don't you wish he was the especially speaking 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: watch watch all over the middle? All right, you're a 49 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: smart guy. Big thing one is figuring things out. How 50 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: is this offense going to score more points? Thirty three 51 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: points in three weeks? I feel like I've said that 52 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: thirty three times this week. It's been the major theme, 53 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: figuring things out. How are you going to get laviscussional? 54 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: And Jamal ad knew the ball gonna have to get 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: creative here, and really everyone just has to play better. 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: We gotta play better, all of us. You know, I 57 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: gotta play I gotta play better. For those guys up front, 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: for the receivers, I gotta I gotta throw the ball better. Um, 59 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: they gotta make some more plays, like just all the 60 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: way around. We all gotta be better. You know, it's 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: not one sided. So that's a conversation that you do 62 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: have to have and we we've been having that and 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: I think we're in a good spot and I know 64 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: it's all gonna come together, but um, we're hoping this 65 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: is the week, you know, That's what we're working for. 66 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: Big thing too is tight ends Kittle in the middle. 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: George Kittle is a mismatch problem and urban Meyer called 68 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: him the best tight end in the game yesterday and 69 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: he's not wrong. How do you defend him? Well, it 70 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: helps that the defense is playing the way they want 71 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: to play. You definitely want guys that they're thinking too 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: much on the field. Um, whatever, it's comfortable for guys 73 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: a round whatever they feel comfortable with. You know, we 74 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: try to keep the communication between coaches and I mean 75 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: we're at their points, so they wouldn't keep us comfortable 76 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: and keep our minds clearing so we can play fast, 77 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: play thosable, whatever it is. Big thing three is getting 78 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: healthy Brandon Linda and James O'Shaughnessy back on the practice 79 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: field for the Jaguars yesterday. That is big New was 80 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: James Robinson still dealing with that bruised heel, also a 81 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: knee injury that has popped up so it looks like 82 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: he'll continue to be questionable, but seems to be optimistic 83 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: that he's gonna keep playing through these injuries and Brian. 84 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: They're going to need all three of those guys. Yeah, 85 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: and it's it's worrisome with the knee now added to 86 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: the heel. It's tough enough for running back to deal 87 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: with one now, um and look, no disrespect intended to 88 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide. He's gonna get a chance to run against 89 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: his former team, so hopefully he'll be motivated. But he's 90 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: just not the same guy. There's something about Robinson that 91 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: is tough to define, and yet he's so tough. You 92 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: hope he gets out on the field on Sunday can 93 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: give you a good carries, you know what you hope 94 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: for the sake of this offense, which you know, it 95 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: feels to me like the offense with James Robinson, uh 96 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: and the stats bear it out, but it also feels 97 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: that way watching him. They're about a seventeen twenty point 98 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: offense with James Robinson on the field. That's fair where 99 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: they can drive. They can hope once a half to 100 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: put together an extended drive finish it off, which is 101 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: hard to do. In the NFL and then get seventeen 102 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: or twenty without James Robinson, they've been any eleven point offense, 103 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: and it's felt like an eleven point offense. So what 104 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: you hope Schlenn over the course of this, you know, 105 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: next nine games with a heel and an now, you 106 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: hope at some point he can get past that. It 107 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: feels like something because of the nature of the industry. 108 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a doctor, but I play one 109 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: on tv UM. It feels like that could linger because 110 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: of where it is on his body. Let's hope for 111 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: his sake, in the Jaguar's sake, it doesn't. Because I 112 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: misjudged even the beginning to season how much they were 113 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: going to need him, how dependent they would be on him, 114 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: but they are, well, yeah, it certainly is different now 115 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: with d J. Chark and travisy Ten not playing. I 116 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: think when we saw that all those draft picks, we thought, Okay, 117 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: James Robinson is going to be a complimentary. Now he's 118 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: the guy, and you wonder what these injuries and none 119 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: of us are doctors, is it worth him sitting a 120 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: week and resting and does that does that mean we 121 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: even make a difference well, the life fan of an 122 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: NFL football player, on average is less than four years. 123 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: For running back, it's less than that. Um, if he's 124 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: healthy enough to play, he's gonna want to play, right. Uh. 125 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: But if he's not, he's not, so you have to 126 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: rely on the medical training staff here to tell you 127 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: coach he can go, or coach you can't. And if 128 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: you can't, you just have to keep moving right. This 129 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: is a guy because he does so many different things. Well, 130 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the screen out of the back field, the wheel route. Uh, 131 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: he's got that little shake where he it's not like 132 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: Fred Taylor's shake, but just kind of phreezes a guy 133 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: enough for him to get right by him. And then 134 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: of course you can put a shoulder down to play 135 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: with power. He gives you everything that you need to 136 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: be efficient on offense. When John makes that face, it's 137 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: because an air horn goes off in the hallway, and 138 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: we're always frightened by it every morning. I'm frightened by 139 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: many things, especially that one. The thing today, All right, 140 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: let's quickly touch on big thing too, which is George Kittle. 141 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: How the heck are they going to defend this guy? 142 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: They've had so many problems with Titans Kittle in the middles, 143 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Titans in the middle. It's been an issue where you're 144 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: not going to take him away, right, I mean, you 145 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: hope to limit his impact to some degree, but nobody 146 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: ever takes this guy away. He is He's in the 147 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: highest payd tight end in football. Or has he been 148 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: your past yet? Yeah, they're right there at the very time. 149 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's everything runs through him on their offense 150 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: and you're you're just They get him open, they find 151 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: ways to get him where he can be impactful. I 152 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: was really impressed with that blocking they on on Von 153 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: Miller the other night. I had never seen him block 154 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: like that. A complete tight end and a guy that 155 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: is going to be a matchup problem. And more importantly, 156 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: uh and Samuel gets his yards because he's the kind 157 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: of guy to do it. Um, George Kittle is the 158 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: guy who gets the yards that really hurts you. Every 159 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: time I see a highlight of him, it feels like 160 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: he's hitting a little crosser and turning it into a 161 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: big play. I think the key for the Jaguars is 162 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: away from these two guys. Can they stopped the run 163 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: well enough? Because were brutally good against the Rams. The 164 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: ball they have to stop that first and get forty 165 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: nine out of situations where it's easy for Kittle and 166 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: Samuel to make plays. Uh, it's the running game early 167 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: that I think is going to be the key. If 168 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: they're slowing it down a little bit in the first half, 169 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: they have a chance if they roll to an easy 170 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: drive like they are wont to do. Um. Okay, you 171 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: know you mentioned you mentioned the running game that fullback 172 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: how you check if you were call the game in 173 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: seventeen he was. He was the X factor in that 174 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: game because there was so much attention paid to Kittle 175 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: that he was able to escape and he was always open. 176 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean it was I think he had seven catches 177 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: that day and I think he only had forty five 178 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: or fifty yards. But they moved the chains and kept 179 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: drives alive at key moments. So it's not just George Kittle. 180 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: My Kyle Shanahan is incredibly good at getting a guy open. 181 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: He's very good at scheming those open and running different 182 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: plays from different personnel groups than you're expecting. This is 183 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: a mental game. This with you've got to be on it. 184 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: Lots of mismatched problem is going to be a tough game. 185 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: For the Jaguars here on Sunday against the forty Niners. 186 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: And speaking of the forty Niners, Keana Martin, senior team 187 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: reporter for San Francisco, joins us here on the Jaguars 188 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: Digital Network.

We're about Jaguars Drive Time. It is 194 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: Thursday morning, the Jaguars getting ready for a big game 195 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: against the San Francisco forty Niners. And now we are 196 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: joined by senior team reporter Kiana Martin, who has woken 197 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: up at seven am in California. So thank you, Kiana. 198 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: We appreciate you. There's no worries. Yeah, it's still quite 199 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: early over here on the West Coast. Team hasn't headed 200 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: out to Jacksonville, just as of Yette. They'll be making 201 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: that trip on Friday, Friday afternoon, but still early. But 202 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm glad to be joining you guys. How's everything going 203 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: over there? We are good. We're excited for a home game, 204 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: that's for sure. And we all watched from our couch 205 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, and I read all about how the 206 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: Rams were supposed to just absolutely dominate the forty Niners, 207 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: and the opposite happened. So tell us about it. Yeah, 208 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: I think it took a lot of people by surprise, 209 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: but not necessarily people in the house coming into this game. 210 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: You know, forty Niners obviously not sitting where they know 211 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: that they should be, especially looking at the talent they 212 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: have on that roster um, but going into this game 213 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: knowing kind of what's on the line, knowing what this 214 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: team is capable of. Uh, the mindset was much different. Uh. 215 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: They've if you look at their matchup against the Rams, 216 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: the forty Niners have actually matched up quite well over 217 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Looking back, um the last 218 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: two years, having those seasons sweeps and kind of bringing 219 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: that on. And I think a lot of people and 220 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: if you just look at these storylines heading into Monday 221 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: Night Football, You're looking at this Rams team with all 222 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: of these new shiny pieces. You've got Matt Stafford under center, 223 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: you have Von Miller, who you got in that trade, 224 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos. You bring in, oh b J. So, 225 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: I think absolutely the forty Niners are looking like underdogs 226 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: with this team. Knows it doesn't matter who you bring that. 227 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: This team wants to bring their a game and they 228 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: have so much to prove and they were able to 229 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: do that on primetime. Big picture, kana Uh, How is 230 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo handled the dynamic in the quarterback room when 231 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: you when you take a quarterback in the top five, 232 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: you generally assume that one guy's on the way out 233 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: and the other guy's on his way in eventually. Has 234 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: that played into the season and the struggles at all? 235 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: Or has Jimmy handled it like a champ? Give us, 236 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, a thirty thousand foot view of how the 237 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: quarterback room has played out this season? Yeah? Absolutely, So obviously, 238 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, you're the leader of this team and you 239 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: hear that essentially this front office has jumped up nine 240 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: spots and they are targeting a quarterback now. Jimmy said 241 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: that one he was very grateful that the forty Nighters 242 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: were very open with him about what was going on, 243 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: but of course he was upset and I believe he 244 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: kind of there was a chip on his shoulder, and 245 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: that kind of played into how he showed up to 246 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: offseason workouts, how he showed up to training camp. UM 247 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: players and head coached Kyle shanahana like all said that 248 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy came to work a little different. It wasn't the 249 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: same Jimmy Garoppo that we've seen in years past. So 250 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: now let's fast forward to season. Forty Knights have dealt 251 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: with a little bit of a struggle. But Kyle Shannon 252 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: and said that he is at that moment and at 253 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: this moment, the best quarterback in the building for the 254 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: job and gives the forty Niners the best chance to win. 255 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: I know a lot of fans have been calling to 256 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: see Tray Lance, but I think we kind of got 257 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: to take a step back and remember that this guy 258 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: has only played a handful of games in college. I 259 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,119 Speaker 1: feel like this is gonna be more of a process. 260 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to have a little bit of patients 261 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: before we see Trey Lance kind of take over the 262 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: entire offense. But he might be waiting a little longer 263 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: because of the way Jimmy Garoppolo has been playing over 264 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: these last three games. UM, He's been playing clean football, 265 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: decisive football. UM. The forty n have. Their offense has 266 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: found a way to get clicking. Uh, and Jimmy Garoppolo 267 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: has really been kind of taking the steps that this 268 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: team necessarily needed, especially as they're looking into this second 269 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: half of the season and trying to make that I 270 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: don't like saying the word, but that layoff push. I 271 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: know we're still it's a lot of football to be played, 272 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: but if Jimmy Garoppolo continues to play at the level 273 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: that he is right now, it might be a while 274 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: until we see Trey Lance fully taking charge of the offense. 275 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: Where's this team's confident level right now? There are four 276 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: and five? Uh, but they've got to feel like if 277 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: they win this week, they're back in it. Um. Is 278 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: that how they're approaching it? And do you see this 279 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: is a team that can make that kind of push. 280 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: That's kind of exactly what's going on. UM. I actually 281 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: spoke with a couple of guys yesterday and that when 282 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: against the Rams with such a momentum builder and now 283 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: it's just how do you take that and how do 284 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: you carry that along the rest of the season. Monday 285 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: night was probably the most complete game that we saw 286 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: the forty Niners played this entire season. It's been a 287 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: little lopside in other times of the season, and maybe 288 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: at one point, especially a couple of weeks ago against 289 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, the defense was struggling a little bit. 290 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: Offense finally caught its wind in the second and a 291 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: half of the game. But going into Monday Night, Monday Night, 292 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: if they can continue what we saw on the field 293 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: there and continue that throughout the season, I feel like 294 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: this team has the opportunity to take it to that 295 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: next level. Uh. If you look at the NFC picture 296 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: right now, you have your teams that are sitting at 297 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: the top, and you know who are going to be 298 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: those teams that you're gonna see play January football. But 299 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: beyond that, some teams are starting to slide, some teams 300 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: are starting to move up. So there's a lot of 301 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: opportunity for the Sporting Matters team, But honestly, their fate 302 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: is realistically in their own hands. They know what lies 303 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: ahead and they will have to be the ones that 304 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: essentially keep them in that mix. As we finished off 305 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: the second half of the season, absolutely Jaguar is looking 306 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: to play upset on a forty Niners team that is 307 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: writing high, just like Kiana said. Kiana, thank you so 308 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: much for joining us on Jaguars Drive Time this morning. Absolutely, 309 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: I'll see you guys on Sunday. Sounds good. We'll see 310 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: you here in Jacksonville when we come up on the 311 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: Jaguars digital net work. Some he will, he won't, he might, 312 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: that's next. Jack's Drive Time is presented in part by 313 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: dream Finder's Homes Homes that Fit Your Lifestyle and Baptist 314 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: Health Changing Healthcare for Good. We're about to Jaguar's Drive Time. 315 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: It is Thursday, brought to you by Fields Auto Group 316 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: Time for some he will, he won't, he might going 317 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: into Sunday's game against the forty Niners. So, Brian, you 318 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: were up, Um, yeah, I remember Miles Jack was selected 319 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: in the draft. We heard about his coverage skills. We 320 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: haven't always seen it. He's been better going forward necessarily 321 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: than dropping back. But there was the story that he 322 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: covered the the USC wide out to Nelson Aglar, who 323 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: had also been the second round pick that year. Um, 324 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna need to see the coverage skills this week. Uh. 325 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: George Kittle is a powerful player and Miles Jack is 326 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: going to need to be able to switch back and 327 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: forth from playing the run, which he does so well 328 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: in the past. So he will have to be, by 329 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: necessity a shutdown coverage guy. Is he won't shut it down. 330 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: No one, No one does. No one does. No one 331 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: shuts Kittle down. But if he can limit it right, 332 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: if he can get him at the chains, if he 333 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: can make a play here or there to break service. 334 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: John has wanted to say, uh, that will be enough. Um, 335 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: and I will say that Miles Jack might get an 336 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: interception this week because if he's in coverage and Kittle 337 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: has the ball thrown, we haven't. It was the last 338 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: interception you saw from Miles Um, it's been a while. No, 339 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: it was last year against Cincinnati. Okay, there you go. 340 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,239 Speaker 1: We need to see it. There you go, we need 341 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: to see it. There you go. It was a great 342 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: interception too. He's a critical player. I do I do 343 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,239 Speaker 1: now that you say go ahead, John, you're on your 344 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: high horse today. Might he will? He won't. He might 345 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: is Matthew Wright, and he will continue to be under 346 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: scrutiny because as well as he's played and as big 347 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: a kicks as he's had, he also continues to have 348 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: a hiccup each game, which is not an expected of 349 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: a young kicker, but it's what he's going through right now. Um, 350 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: he won't ever be a guy I don't think to 351 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: do what they would like him to do on kickoffs. 352 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: He he has taken over kickoff duties from Logan Cook 353 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: because it sounded from what Urban said a few weeks ago. 354 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: They're concerned about over kicking and the motion on Logan 355 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: Cook's punts, so they put Matthew right on kickoffs. Uh. 356 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: It is contributing to the shorter kickoffs. It's an area 357 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: that I expect him to address and try to figure out. 358 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: But he might slam. He might because that's the third 359 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: one here. He might. Um, he might wind up still 360 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: being the most important player in a sense on this 361 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: roster going forward, because all the games are going to 362 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: be close. If you think about it, the two games 363 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: they've won have been because of Matthew Wright in a 364 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: very real sense. He had three field goals against the 365 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: Bills without him kicking field goals that probably are out 366 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: of his range in London, they don't win. So he 367 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: might sland be the hero again on Sunday, or might not. 368 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: Should have that he will he won't. He might, or 369 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: he might not, or he might not. That's always the 370 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: other side of he might. I totally get it, and 371 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: he might be on the roster, but he's he's somehow 372 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: clutch when it comes down to it. He hits those kicks. 373 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: So he might win it on Sunday, because I don't 374 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: think they're gonna win very many games without him kicking well, 375 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: because they're gonna be field goal games. Yeah, he's the 376 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: pressure guy. Likes the pressure on him to make pressure not. 377 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: I believe you have it. He will, he won him. 378 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: I do it is Lavisca channalts Jr. He will, for 379 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: lack of a better term, just figure it out. Coach 380 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: Meyer said yesterday and his press conference, Yeah, Levisca Chenal 381 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: has to play better. Very similar to the off season 382 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: when we heard coach Meyer said, yeah, DJ Shark has 383 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: to play better this season. He does have to play better, 384 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: and I think he will on Sunday. You won't see 385 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: him very much on the outside anymore as much. I 386 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: think coach Meyer alluded to that yesterday. He's much more 387 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: efficient as a slot receiver. And the hope is that 388 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: Jamal Agnew if he can figure it out on the outside, 389 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: they'll see him much more. So. I think we will 390 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: see Labiska chal more in his more natural position this week, 391 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: and he might get a touchdown this week because he 392 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: has to. Brian and John, this is the guy that 393 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: has to get gone. We expected so much from him, 394 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: and coach Meyer said it yesterday. He's got to play 395 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: better well. Coach Meyer also said yesterday that they had 396 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: to settle on a spot for him. Yeah, and hopefully 397 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: that spot is inside. Yeah, and that's I mean, you're right, 398 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: and they're right. They have to settle um And I've 399 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: got a ton of emails about this. Why did they 400 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: even move him? Well, they're in a tough spot. I 401 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: kind of have to. When you look at Jamal Agnew 402 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: he does the slot things, probably as well as Levisca, 403 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: and you can understand why coaches were hesitant to put 404 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: Jamal outside and why they wanted to put it all 405 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: outside because he's probably the best outside they have, even 406 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: though he's not as good as as the slot. So 407 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: I they've got some criticize, they've got some criticism for 408 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: doing that. I see where they're coming from with it. 409 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: But you've got to settle with them and hope that 410 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: you can get something out of that outside slot because 411 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: let's face it, even though DJ wasn't having a great year, 412 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean he was okay, but he wasn't lightening it up. Yet, 413 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: not having that piece has caused a domino effect in 414 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: the receiver corps where nobody quite is able to play 415 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: the role they're being asked to. So, uh, yeah, put 416 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Levisca back in the slot and see how goes. Yeah, 417 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: and frankly, you just you don't have enough guys and 418 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: that you're just trying to piece it together and figure 419 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: it out well. As the coach gave some accolades to 420 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: the quantrid also, perhaps they'll find a role for him. 421 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: They signed John Brown this week, who's thirty one but 422 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: was a speed guy a few years ago, so you know, 423 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: maybe he can come in and find a role. It's 424 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a wide receiver by committee. They're gonna 425 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: have to have packages for guys. Jason hackays to the 426 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: entire college wide receiver class. Keep an eye on that. 427 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think people needed that. Hint. It 428 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: was quite the hands quite and now we will pay 429 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: attention that as he will, he won't he might present 430 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: it by moved A.

We're back to Jaguars Drive Time, 436 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: brought to you by Fields Auto Group at this time 437 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: for some Monday's head lines today predicting what will happen 438 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: in Sunday's game against the forty Niners? Are we optimistic? 439 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: Are we realistic? Negative? What we think of Brian? I'm 440 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: optimistic today. I think we're due for a while game, 441 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: even though it doesn't seem like it's possible for the 442 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: passing game without without a big play receiver. But I 443 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: think we're due for really strong performance from Trevor Lawrence. 444 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: You listen carefully to what he said yesterday, UM, kind 445 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: of get where he's at. I think I know where 446 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: he's at. So I'm gonna say the headlight will be 447 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: Golden Boy on Monday. Obvious playoff of San Francisco and 448 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: the forty, But I think if this team is gonna win. 449 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to make that drive at the end 450 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: of the game to set up Matthew Right. So I'll 451 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: be optimistic and say, Golden boy, I like it. We've 452 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: been waiting for that drive. Make it happen on Sunday, 453 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, because I'm negative, Ned, I'm gonna say 454 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: crunch time. And what I mean by that is either 455 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: work both ways. Either Matthew Right kicks a crunch time 456 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: field goal right I know I'm following, um, or it's 457 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: crunch time, or the forty Niners just bring a little 458 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: too much offensively and out physical the Jaguars a little bit. Um. 459 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: I think it will be the latter, because again, I 460 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: just tend to go with teams that are fighting for 461 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: playoff berths. This team feels like they're still doing that. 462 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: On a side note on that, before you close up 463 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: for the week, what an opportunity this is for the 464 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: Jaguars to show statement that what they have done in 465 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: the last three or four weeks, you feel so much 466 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: better about this team than you did right before the bye. 467 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: They could be playing you know a team that's won 468 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: and eight where they go out and get a win 469 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: and you feel good about it. Would you wouldn't know 470 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: what it meant they win this game or even come 471 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: even stay with it ie and you feel like, boy, 472 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: they fought. Now you've got a win against Miami, I 473 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: win over the Bills. A really competitive gaming is to 474 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: playoff tea in the another one. This is a chance 475 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: again to show that what they believe their building is 476 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: for real. So uh, let's hope the headline is really 477 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: something off that. But crunch time is what I feel like. 478 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: Eight weeks to go and we're almost a Thanksgiving I 479 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: mean that there's a long stretch of football go. This 480 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: would be a really big win. And if I have optimism, 481 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: it's because of the way they played the Bills and 482 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: the Coulson back to back week and it's an opportunity. 483 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna that they're what they think. I'm not 484 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: going to let the inability of the offense um keep 485 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: me from thinking that this defense can make enough place 486 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: to set them up. And that's why my headline is 487 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: got it done. The offense is not going to score 488 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: more points. There's gonna be a low scoring game, and 489 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't see the offense all of a sudden hanging 490 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: thirty plus on the forty niners. But the defense is 491 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,479 Speaker 1: going to play well enough to give the Jaguars an 492 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: opportunity to win, and they will do enough and they 493 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: will get it done. There you go, negative, Ned, I 494 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: hope that it's crunch time.
