This will be our only show this week 6 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: as we get ready for a hurricane to come here 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: to Florida. There's also a football game on Sunday, a 8 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: big one at that against the Philadelphia Eagles. That the 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: Jaguars will travel like normal to Philly on Saturday. So 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: let's bring in Adam Kaplan, who covers the Philadelphia Eagles 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: in Philly and has a multitude of shows all over 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: the NFL and NFL insider Adam. Good morning, Thank you 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: for joining us. You guys could have talked to you 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: looking forward to us Sunday's game. Yes, absolutely, in this 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: game all of a sudden, is way more interesting than 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: it was about a month ago. I see fans clamoring 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: on Twitter that they want this game flex to Sunday 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: Night Football. It is crazy, how all of a sudden, 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: how big this game is. I know the Jaguars, this 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: is their true test against a very healthy team. How 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: do the Eagles of view this game? Well, look, it's 22 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: a non conference game. The first three games are in conference, 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: one in division, the other two in another division, the 24 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: NFC North. But it's it's the homecome for Doug Peterson. 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: And I know the big debate here in sports radio is, 26 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: well they boo Doug Peterson and the fans. I'm like, no, 27 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: they won't. Look, you can't control people. Almost all the 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: fans love Doug. Why in addition to them bringing the 29 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: Eagles their only Super Bowl when they've ever had, it's 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: just very well liked and as you guys know, they're 31 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: in that market. Good guy. Everybody likes being around him. 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: He's very very accessible to the media, and the guy's 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: good football coach and he's developed a lot of players 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: over the years. So you know, people are looking forward 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: to the only problem is, you know again it's it's 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: it's not a divisional game. You worry about these trap games. 37 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: And the other thing, it's the forecast for Sunday. It's 38 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: gonna start We're getting the residual effects of the hurricane. 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna get rain starting Saturday, and it looks like 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: it's going to rain all through Tuesday, so that you 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: put the damper on it. It's a one pm Eastern game, 42 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: but I look forward to seeing it. Just just from 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: a matchup standpoint. You, Brian and I were together, Briant 44 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: Sex and I were together for training camp and we 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: were talking about this. You know, the Jaguars are so 46 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: talented and they're so young. I just thought it would 47 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: take at least two year for them to get where 48 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: they're at now. And I know it's only three games, 49 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: but you know what, they're off to phenomenal start. Adam, 50 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: you just you answered my question. I was gonna say 51 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: when when you were here? And and for folks who 52 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: don't who don't recognize this other than Pete Prisco, Adam 53 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: Kaplan is the guy who is consistently here during training 54 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: camp to get a good look at this team. Um, 55 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: and Adam, when you were here? Did you see this team? 56 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: So let me just ask it kind of in a 57 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: different way so you can go more in depth. Did 58 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: you see the makings of something that Doug Peterson, who 59 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: you know well, could translate into success this year? Well, 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: here's what I did. No, offensively, it's going to be that, 61 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think I told you when I saw you, 62 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: it's going to be and it was based on what 63 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: I had been told, on what I saw that day. 64 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna look at the offense in particular, is gonna 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: look much like his sixteen sevent seventeen team, where it's 66 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: a spread, there's a lot of free receiver sets, not 67 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot of heavy packages. And for Doug's offensive to 68 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: be well, they have to be better off on the 69 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: offensive line, where they obviously been a major disappointment for 70 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: several years, where they spent a lot of money. They 71 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: spent money, they spent draft pick capital and interest had 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: not worked out like they thought. But so far, so good. 73 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: The offensive line is holding up. Is Sheriff is obviously 74 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: an upgraded right guard, and Christian Kirk has been a story. 75 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's funny, Brian, the day that I 76 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: was there, you know, I do it. Basically I got 77 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: about eighteen and twenty teams I see and I just 78 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: remember thinking, Wow, they're really moving. Christian Kirk has as 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: the receiver everywhere. This could be interesting. And Kirk has 80 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: been a great story. No one's talking about his contract anymore. 81 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: He's been great and sort of a simplistic question, but 82 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the Eagles are a team to 83 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: everybody nationally has followed I people knew they were good 84 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: late last year, but why is this team good? In 85 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: a nutshell? What are they doing right? What makes him 86 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: a threat? John? I think when you look at Philly, Okay, 87 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: so you you asked the question, what are you doing right? 88 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: And this has been There are not a lot of 89 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: teams that do it this way, but it's the right way. 90 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: From talking to general managers over the years, this is 91 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: the way you should always do it. It starts up front. 92 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: The Eagles that believe really since Joe Batten, the former president, 93 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: got in there in ninety four, Jeffrey Lory, the owner 94 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: who stolen a team Joe. Joe is retired now mostly 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: though he consults, but they have this philosophy based on 96 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: the information that they gathered, that it starts up front. 97 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: You must be great on the offensive defensive lines. I 98 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: cannot remember John at time of my during my tenure 99 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: of covering the NFL and now this my twentieth year 100 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: and covering this team locally in phillips I live in 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: the area, I don't recall a time where they were 102 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: not very good on the offensive line, so if you 103 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: get it right on the offensive defensive line, you're fifty 104 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: of the way there. But they had improved receiver. They 105 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: were dreadful two years ago. They had one of the 106 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: worst receiver course in the NFL two years ago. Now 107 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: they have one of the best. They have a quarterback 108 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: who's been protected and it's been very accurate. Hurt strong 109 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: for about sixty percent completion rate, dynamic with his legs, 110 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: super coachable, high character kid, coach his son. He's doing well. 111 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: They had nine sacks against ironically first of the two 112 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: revenge games. They've got Peeves in this week and Wentz 113 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: last week. They sat Wentz nine times it seemed like 114 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,119 Speaker 1: to his twenty and Wentz played a bad game overall. 115 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: He's held on the ball too long. They couldn't protect him. 116 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: And you know another position where they were not very 117 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: good for years as a corner. Now they're very good 118 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: at corner and made the big trade for Chauncey Garter. 119 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: Johnson before the season started. Is learning that he's learning 120 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: the defense on on the run here, but he's doing better, 121 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: and the running the ball fairly well. They've got a 122 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: tight end. By the way Dallas got it was a 123 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: I the the in the eight teen draft. I'm told 124 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: the Jaguars probably would have drafted and certain things worked out. 125 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: So you look at everything, they don't really have a weakness, 126 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: which is almost hard to believe, other than special teams. 127 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: Returns are not very good, the punner is inconsistent, the 128 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: kickers good. That's it. Special teams have to be better. 129 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: And I know it's kind of fans here, john are 130 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: getting on the team for not scoring in the second half, 131 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: like they they've only scored in one quarter at out 132 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: of six and the second half. But folks, here's the thing. 133 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: The point deferential is the best of the national football 134 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: legue i think, or top two at least in point 135 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: differential in the first half. That's why that's why they're 136 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: not scoring, because the second half they have no urgency 137 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: to score. That's kind of the way it's been. That's 138 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: a nice problem to have. And you mentioned that offensive 139 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: and defensive line. The Jaguars like that's their strong suit 140 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: as well. Right now, So when you look at these 141 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: matchups on Sunday, what's the one that really stands out 142 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: with this Jaguars and Eagles game. I'm just you know, 143 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: when you talk about the Jaguars and the thing you 144 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: just don't know this because you you have a new 145 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: you have a new coach with staff, new schemes and 146 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: offensive defense and Mike call Wells a a new is 147 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: a new defensive coordinator, but he comes from the Todd 148 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: Balls coaching tree, so you know they're gonna be aggressive 149 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: and blitz. But what is shocked me is how quickly. 150 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: Now I know they're very young, but how they've all 151 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: come together with this new staff, particularly defensively. You've got 152 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: a new scheme. They're very young, which is good. They're 153 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: so talented, Trayvon Walker's well head of schedule. It's just 154 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: that it's all coming together. It I just didn't see this. 155 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: I didn't think it would happen this soon. And the 156 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: great thing, folks is said, look, they're in They're in 157 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: the worst division in football, no question. I'm not saying 158 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna win the division, but they're clearly going to 159 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: be in it all the way. But for the long term. Now, 160 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: when you draft this well and you sign an impact 161 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: of free agents, don't discount Roy Robertson. Harris is a 162 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: good d lineman for this very forefront is a great 163 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: run stopper. That's why he's there. A Louis kun who 164 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: is one of the most amazing stories of the Falcons. 165 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Command of Yale. Devin lay The said, a schedule. Walkers 166 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: had a schedule. They're really good in a secondary right 167 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: now and hopefully they'll get Griffin back this week. I'm 168 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: not saying they don't have weakness as they do, but 169 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: they're so far. I had a schedule, folks. This is 170 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch this riot that the Jaguars 171 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: are gonna be on for a long time. And Adam, 172 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: let's finish it up with give us a Doug Peterson story. 173 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: And just as the background is, he's been such a 174 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: revelation for this building. It was in such disarray. Uh 175 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: you know, after the whole thing with the former coach, Um, 176 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: he's calmed it down. He's given it a sense of 177 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: purpose and confidence. There's got to be some story of 178 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: of of something similar that he did in Philly that 179 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: sticks out in your mind when you said, yeah, this 180 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: guy gets it. This is a great story. I might 181 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: have told this when you guys have me home and 182 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Doug got the job, but and I apologize I'm repeating it, 183 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: but the reason why I want to talk about this 184 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: is it goes to your point about calmness. So I'm 185 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: gonna go back to when towards a Cel. I happened 186 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: to be at that game in l a. For for 187 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: I was out there for a couple of things, but 188 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: I went to that game and it was late December 189 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: of seventeen. They they happened to clinch the division at 190 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: the Rams that day. It was a great game, by 191 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: the way, Sunday night game. So he tears as a 192 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: c l you know, the Eagles fly back. And I 193 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: talked to someone in the front office that week and 194 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: I said, hey, you know Folds is the quarterback. What 195 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: are you thinking? And he goes, I gotta tell you, 196 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: Doug was so matter of fact that we're gonna win 197 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: with him with Nick Foles, he goes, I'm a believer. 198 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: Doug had us believing. He was so calm that it 199 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: wasn't just coach peak that he's like, we're gonna do this, 200 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: and as you know, they wind up winning the Super Bowl. 201 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: So that tells you to your point, the commness that 202 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: he brings. He doesn't worry about things he has no 203 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: control over, and he's got so matter of fact and 204 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: so such a leader. I don't know if they knew 205 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: this to answer your question when they hired him, but 206 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: they sure as that did the next season. So the 207 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: great thing is you, guys, Brian, you and I talked 208 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: about in training camp up after the awful urber Meyer experience. 209 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: He was the perfect guy that literally the one any 210 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: polar opposite of urber Meyer, and he brought in a 211 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: commerce and that goodness that they hired him. Yes, it 212 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: is very calm in this building, in a very happy 213 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: building as well, especially after a big win against the Chargers. 214 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: Adam Caplan, thank you so much for your time this morning.

James 219 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: Robinson touched on one of the best miked ups yet. 220 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: Josh Allen miked up against the Chargers. It helps when 221 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: you have a huge win like that. It's on Jaguars 222 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: dot Com right now.

I always like Josh, I really like 227 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: That's like Zay Jones postgame interview. Everyone's all fired up 228 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: and one of the first things he says about the 229 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: game is man C J. Bethard with that knee at 230 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: the end. Wow, that was awesome. Everybody's happy. If a 231 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: lot of giddiness going on. I can bring my guinea 232 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: now after all these years, you really get tired all 233 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: this happiness at the last two years. Give me more. Yeah, 234 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: this is weird. A lot of weirdness going on. Let's 235 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: get into big things, shall we. Big thing one is 236 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: going back to Philly head coach Doug Peterson, going back 237 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: to the place where he spent nine years of his 238 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: coaching career as a quarterbacks coach and head coach. This 239 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: team wants nothing more than a get a win for 240 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: their head coach in his former town. Peterson knows he's 241 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: bringing a good team to Philadelphia. I've been pleased with 242 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: the direction, the leadership of the team and where we 243 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: are as a football team right now. Um still have 244 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: room for improvement obviously, and I think that's the exciting 245 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: thing that everybody embraces their role and and their opportunities 246 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: when they get him. Big thing too is defense, too great. 247 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: Defense is going against each other this Sunday, the Eagles 248 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: lead the NFL and sacks and the Jaguars lead the 249 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: NFL in interceptions. To want Smoots on why this defense 250 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: is so different this year, Definitely those different. I feel 251 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: like we're we have a different kind of focusing, like um, 252 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: I guess, just some motivation each week going and going 253 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: into each week. Week we're looking forward to each opponent 254 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: and we're coming in. We're preparing each week just differently. 255 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: And finally, a big thing three is five reasons for 256 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: thirty eight points. This Jaguars offensive line is playing the 257 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: best we've seen in a very long time, especially right 258 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: shackle Juwan Taylor. This offensive line back to back weeks 259 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: with zero sacks going into Philly, feeling very confident about themselves. 260 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: Competition diffinitely hope, but also my dad passed in January, 261 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: so I've just been trying to dedicate the season from 262 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: my gas. So um just going. They're just trying to 263 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: get better every week and help my team win games, 264 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: and that is big things. A lot of storylines this week, 265 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: but the dominating one will be one that that's just 266 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: a very good Jaguars team now coming to Philadelphia. This 267 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: wasn't as big of a game as it is now 268 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: this week, but head coach Doug Peterson making his return 269 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: to Philly, Like Adam Kaplan just said, will he get booed? 270 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: Will they clap? Will they do both? We're going to 271 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: find out. You know what I thought was telling was 272 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: I was listening to an interview with Brandon Graham, their 273 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: pass rusher, and you know brand of course played on 274 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: that championship team, and he said that all the guys 275 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: that new Doug, we're excited to play against Doug. Not 276 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: because you can imagine that if Urban Meyer was the 277 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: coach of another team, they'd be excited to play excited. 278 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: They're excited because they love Doug and and he must 279 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: have spent five minutes in this interview I was listening 280 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: to on a serious radio yesterday talking about why and 281 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: how and in the relationship with Doug. So when you 282 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: look at when you listen and hear how those Eagles 283 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: we're fond of Doug and why it's easy to see 284 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: why this team is rallying around him while they're performing 285 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: for him, and they already love him. You can you 286 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: can just hear it when you ask them about him. 287 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: You know when Doug will get boot Sunday, it's when 288 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: it's if the jag Wars take the league. Beyond that, 289 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean if I would be stunned. If I'm talking 290 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: to people in Philly, they would be stunned as well. 291 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: During the pregame, there won't be signs with middle fingers 292 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: up at Dog. I mean, you know, there's nothing like 293 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: that with Doug because he gave them the greatest thing 294 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: that a coach can give a team. He gave him 295 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So I don't think there's gonna be 296 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: any of that. As Doug said on the podium on Monday, Um, 297 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: there's going to be some stuff once the game gets 298 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: started because Philly fans are Philly fans and remember, and 299 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: that's fine. But what's great about Doug is he's looking 300 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: forward to that part of it too. He liked that 301 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: when he was up there. I'm sure he didn't like 302 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: it in Bood while he was up there, which happens. 303 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: But overall, the feeling towards Doug Peterson in the city 304 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: of brotherly love is brother Don't ever forget this is 305 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: the city, this is the fan base that bood Santa 306 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: claus at a game. Yeah, but halftime clause against If 307 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: you're Doug Peterson, you can't be offended. And this doesn't 308 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: even make it in big things because we have so 309 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: much to talk about. But when I look at this 310 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: game and really what everyone is talking about, and it's 311 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: something that is factual that has to be addressed. As 312 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: the Jaguars have played back to back two banged up teams, 313 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: especially against the Los Angeles Chargers. Yes, they're playing great. 314 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: They are much to prove faster than we thought. But 315 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: this is really the first true test for the Jaguars. 316 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: I know I said that last week, but it really 317 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: is this week. Because this is a very healthy Eagles, 318 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: undefeated team. You're not going to catch them by surprise. 319 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're not going to even think for 320 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: a moment that these are the Jaguars. They're not very good. 321 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: They only won three games last year. They're looking at 322 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: what you did against the Colts in particular and saying 323 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: we better be ready for those guys. I mean they 324 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: are not going to be caught off guard. Look, you're 325 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: not gonna win every game nothing ten, so at some 326 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: point you're gonna play. The impression thing about the Jaguars 327 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks is they have played teams that, 328 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, have had deficiencies because of injuries, and 329 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: they've taken advantage of it. That's what really good teams do. 330 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: You think about what really good teams did to this 331 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: team for a long time, they put them away earli 332 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: more often than not. Jaguars last couple of weeks put 333 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: teams away early when they, in retrospect should have. That's 334 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: impressive stuff we haven't seen around here in a while. 335 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: At some point, you've got to beat a team at 336 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: full strength. This is a good chance for this team. 337 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure they win this week, but 338 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: I feel good that they're going to go up there 339 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: and play well, and over the course of the last 340 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: fourteen games, they have chances to win and should be 341 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: competitive far more often than not. That's how you get good. 342 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: You can see where there are mismatches with certain teams. 343 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: I don't see mismatches with this team. I think the 344 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: Jaguars can line up and there are some spaces where 345 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: you may go, well, that guy is really good. You're 346 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to block him. But it's not like you go, 347 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: how do we stop him? Jaguars have proven on defense 348 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: that they can do that, so I I, um, well, 349 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: I'll save it for my Monday headline. Like that's the 350 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: Eagles right now, our favorite just six and a half points, 351 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: so vague as at least is expecting this to be 352 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: a closer. Well, the average NFL game has decided by 353 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: fewer than eight points, and this looks like it has 354 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: the makings of an average NFL game. One other storyline 355 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: that gets the weather and how that impacts. I didn't 356 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: know it was going to rain in Philly. I had 357 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: better bring my raincoat. I didn't know. That's about your hair, 358 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: Yes it really is. Thank you Adam Kaplan for telling 359 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: me that I was gonna bring no problem, Jack Wars. 360 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: You're practicing. They've got to keep going. I was a 361 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: little surprised that they didn't pick up and leave and 362 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: try to go somewhere where they could have the outdoor practices. 363 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna be indoors and it's a bit limiting. Yes, uh, 364 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: you know that's not the biggest NFL indoor facility. But 365 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna stay here. Yes, Head coach Tug Peterson decided 366 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: to keep his team here in Jacksonville all throughout the 367 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: week and travel like normal to Philadelphia on Saturday. And yeah, 368 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: just like that, it seems like everything is going according 369 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: to plan. And I get why you don't want to 370 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: uproot the plan if you don't have to write. And 371 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: that is big things.

We're going to Brian Sexton for the first one. 378 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: All right, So um, neither the offensive tackles have reason 379 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: to be fond of me because I I did not 380 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: think they should pay Cam Robinson. I didn't think he 381 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: was an elite player, and they gave him elite money. Uh. 382 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: And I thought that Juan Taylor would be better served 383 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,719 Speaker 1: to slide in and play guard. That was back when 384 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: I thought that Walker Little was your right tackle in future. 385 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: But the honest truth is both of these guys the 386 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: last two weeks have played really good football. And I 387 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: pulled Doug aside and we chatted about it really briefly 388 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: after the Washington loss, and he said, don't forget that 389 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: Cam had a pretty good ankle sprain going into that 390 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: from practice on Friday. Uh and so it was tough 391 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: for him, and Monte Seat had a great game. So overall, 392 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: my question to you is which tackle is playing better? 393 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: Cam Robinson, the guy that you gave the money to 394 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: and right now he looks like he's worth it. Or 395 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: Juan Taylor, who said on Monday that his father's passing 396 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: was a really big reason for him to be dialed 397 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: in and focused. And you're talking about a guy John 398 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: who was the most penalized right tackle in football the 399 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: last three years, who hasn't drawn a penalty in three 400 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: g I've been waiting for this one. They're not flying 401 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: solo in terms of not being big fans of you 402 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: that I think You've got to say Juwan Taylor because 403 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: it's been clean and so noticeable from the start, and 404 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: the stats are so overwhelming. But I would say both 405 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: and and because injury or not. In the first game, 406 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: there were times late in the game where he really 407 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: struggled with Montes sweat, so uh, understanding that injury was 408 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: a factor there. Overall, I think Juan Taylor has played better. 409 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: Uh you know. I think it's a tie in terms 410 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: of how well they're playing right now and their benefit 411 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: to this roster. I think it has to be Juwan 412 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: is the story because of the penalties. I mean last 413 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: season that was just the known thing, which ji Wana 414 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: we always talked about, Okay, cleaning it up, clean it up. 415 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be cleaned up to this 416 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: sixtent to have no penalties at this point. I think 417 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: that's the dramatic store if I'm gonna go with Cam, 418 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: because you don't hear about those pass rushers coming off 419 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: that edge, and Joey didn't last the whole game, but 420 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: Cleomac didn't get anything when he was rushing against him. 421 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: And Matt came into the league or into the game 422 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: leading the league in sacks. So it's a good problem 423 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: to have for this football team right now. Um, And 424 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: it just goes back to what Trent Bulk he did. 425 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he doubled down and gave the big money 426 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: to Cam and this is a guy they thought was 427 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: a rising player, and Juwan won the spot and they 428 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: gave him the spot. Right now, it's all golden. I 429 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: think a huge storyline on Sunday will be if the 430 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: Jaguars are not up comfortably um, which they have been 431 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: the last couple of games. They have been in control 432 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: and the coaches have done a great job of calling 433 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: plays that teams that are in control call, which means 434 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: not exposing the quarterback when they get down or in 435 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: a close game. How will this offensive line hold up? 436 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: That's always the true test. They have been great the 437 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: last two games. There will be tests. I think this 438 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: Sunday will be one, and so the offensive line will 439 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: be something to watch. All right, John, what's say this 440 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: or that? Well, it's be stubborn or learn from experience. 441 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: And know what I mean by that is the last 442 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: two games I I have I have not picked the 443 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: jagg eas um because I just there's been different circumstances 444 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: where I thought they were gonna be in tough situations. Um, 445 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: this is also a very tough situation. I don't know 446 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: that I can pick them going up uh to philadelph 447 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: against a healthy team with all these circumstances, or do 448 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: I learn from experience and say that this team is 449 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: worth picking? Um, that's tough, ye are we are we 450 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: to determine whether you are or you're going to learn 451 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: from experience, because that would be more fun. I like 452 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: that one better. Okay, I'll put up to you guys, 453 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: do I learn or you're still going to be? Yeah? 454 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: But I hold that as well because I remember us 455 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: talking about last week saying, if the Jaguars go beat 456 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: the Chargers, man, you're on board. I'm on board. We're 457 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: all on board. But this week still hesitation and that's 458 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: a good topic. I am on board. I absolutely think 459 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: after seeing what they've done to the Chargers, after seeing 460 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: them consolidate, if you will the victory over the Colts 461 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: and show what they can be. I am all in 462 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: on this team competing. I had them at six or 463 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: seven wins. I think they have a chance to win eight, nine, ten, 464 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, and and compete for this thing I am. 465 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: I have. They have convinced me on that front. But 466 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: I will probably pick the Eagles in a close game 467 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: because of how good I think the Eagles are and 468 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: because yeah, you don't go sixteen one. Well, no, by 469 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: the road in this environment, this is a game that 470 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: a very good, even a Super Bowl contending team could 471 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: go lose on the right to lose to a team 472 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: that's playing as well as the Eagles. Absolutely, And what 473 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: you don't what I don't want to happen is that 474 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: if the Jaguars go and lose and have people go, well, 475 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: it's the same old Jaguars. I think people are having 476 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: a hard time seeing this is a different team. It's 477 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: a different team. This is not that break your heart 478 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: Jaguars team that we have seen in the past. Not 479 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: you don't go to San Diego and score thirty eight points. 480 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't care more Los Angeles. You don't go to either. 481 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: Did I say that again? Struggling with that one? We 482 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: know why you don't go to San Diego and win 483 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: this year? They're play there, right, you go beat the 484 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: Chargers in l A on the West Coast. Um, it's 485 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: a different team. It's a completely different team, right, And 486 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: that's I think all of us, including fans, have a 487 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: hard time getting over the heartbreak, getting over that. Don't 488 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: pay that hard. I think you watch the way that 489 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: they played last week. I don't think it's that difficult 490 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: to see, No, especially if they go and play well. 491 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: This speak as well, it only helps all right, My 492 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: this or that is when we talk about the success 493 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: story so far of the Jaguars, Is it Trevor Lawrence 494 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: or is it James Robinson? If you had to pick one, 495 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: of course you're gonna say both. But James Robinson and 496 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: the success story of coming back from that injury and 497 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: playing so well. Trevor Lawrence dealing with all the criticism 498 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: leading the NFL and interceptions last year, only having one 499 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: this year. What's the bigger success story going into almost 500 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: ending the first quarter of the season. Trevor Lawrence. It's 501 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's always the quarterback. Yeah. What do you think, 502 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: John Well, I mean they're both good. Yeah, Brian's right. 503 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: The most important story in the story that matters story 504 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: that it cares about his Trevor uh, and that Achilles 505 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: coming off that that's a remarkable change in medicine to me, 506 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: the fact that that injury is coming back. So I'll 507 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: give it to Trevor. Uh. But j Yeah, an amazing 508 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: success story. Well, and it's just to the medical point. 509 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: And we told the story when we came back from 510 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: Atlanta when we were up there and we were in 511 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: the hallway talking to Kevin Kaplan the Jaguars are the 512 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: pedic surgeon who did not do the surgery and was 513 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: not commenting on James in particular, but was commenting on 514 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: how they had figured out how to return the tension 515 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: to the calf, which was always the key. They couldn't 516 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: quite match it, so the explosiveness was gone and he 517 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: was explaining how they did it, which is way too 518 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: complicated for me to explain. But the medical side of 519 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: that John is a huge story for athletes. Yes, absolutely, 520 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: and that is the story that presented by Price dot Com. 521 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: When we come back on Jaguars Drive Time some Monday's 522 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: headlines today, I'm gonna raise you guys.

Whether they 552 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: want the cheese or not is irrelevant. Did I say 553 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: it wrong? What I'm gonna say? It's the onions? Uh? 554 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: Well I got the pizza steak. It didn't have cheese. 555 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: The headline still stands, they're what do you got? You'll 556 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: be honest, mine's terrible. I racked my brain last night. 557 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: I couldn't go so minds don't panic and that's it's 558 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: terrible headline. No headline writer world write it. But I 559 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: don't think they will win because of how good Philadelphia is. 560 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: But I think they're good, and I think they're going 561 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: to compete all season. I think you're gonna I think 562 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna like what you see from a football standpoint. 563 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: And guess what if they lose on Sunday, they're two 564 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: know in the conference, it's two out of its two 565 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: out of conference losses. This team is good, maybe not 566 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: quite good Sunday, I should say the reason that I 567 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: think that they're going to win is that they played 568 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: and have played what because it fits your headline it's 569 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: easy thing. They're gonna win. No, I think they're gonna 570 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: win because they're playing with real momentum. It's been a 571 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: long time, and my headline is there the story. Even 572 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: if the Jaguars losed on a close game on Sunday, 573 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: they're still the story. We're gonna keep seeing them on 574 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: NFL Network in ESPN. I'm I'm not used to it 575 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: when I'm walking around my house and I hear about 576 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: the Jaguars on Sports Center. That's going to continue to 577 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: happen because, like Brian said, this team is playing with 578 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: momentum right now. We're not used to it, but I 579 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: think it's going to keep happening. With with onions, don't 580 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: you forget it. We'll take one that Pizzas take, by 581 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: the way, was really good, all right, and that is 582 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: our show, Jaguars Drivetime on a Wednesday.
