Um, So I'm 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: super grateful for it. But I know, um, you know, 10 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: through everything I've learned in my career, you know the 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: situation I'm in. I may only get one, so you 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: gotta make the most of it. So that's what I'm 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: trying to do now. Minshew Mania taking over Jacksonville and 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: basically the country at this point, after they celebrate a 15 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: Thursday night football went over the Titans. Who welcome you 16 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: into Jaguars Drive Time Monday Morning, brought to you by 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Jet Home Loan. It's Monday, but I don't really feel 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: like Monday because we watched football on the couch yesterday. 19 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: It was a weird feeling. First of all, literally taking 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: over the country because it was all over Pullman, Washington 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: on social media everywhere. Yeah. Wow, Um, I think he 22 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: was a big deal in Pullman last year because of 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: what he did as the Pack twelve Offensive Player of 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: the Year. Um, I don't think he was quite as 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: big a deal last year as he is this year. 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: Holy cow, that was unbelievable. And I saw another tweet, 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: big Twitter guy that I am this weekend. Well, I 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: don't tweet much, but I do follow people on Twitter. 29 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: John in particular. I saw a tweet with Clay Thompson 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: of the Golden State Warriors is a Washington State um 31 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: alum and holding up a gardner Minshew Jersey. That's pretty cool. Yeah, 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: Minshew has got some got some juice. He's got some 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: juice for sure. Yeah. It's almost just surreal feeling because 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: here there's still an element of he's the back up 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: replacing Nick Foles, and you don't know exactly what that's 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna mean. So if you're if you're not paying attention 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: to the mania, you're sort of watching the kid going Okay, 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: what does he what's he doing? Well, what's he not? 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: And that's the football stuff, and then there's the cultural 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: phenomenon stuff going on around it, and the fact that 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: he's got something that, uh, he's good. I mean, I mean, 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: and there's a there's a quarterback thing, a quarterback field 43 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: this guy has. It's exciting. Uh, I'm getting all kinds 44 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: of emails, Brian, Well, what's it gonna mean for the few? 45 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Worry about the future. In the future, have a quarterback 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: andrey where you've got two guys that you want to play. 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: We've never had that here, right, Please let us have 48 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: that for a minute. I said to somebody this morning, 49 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: and then we can get into big things. I said 50 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: somebody this morning. I wasn't really crazy about, you know, 51 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: seeing him right after a win, you know, jetting off 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: across the country. I didn't think it was cool that 53 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: he was received so well. And somebody who's wise said 54 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: to me who he is? Well, it's who he is. 55 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: And also they weren't going to be in watching tape. 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: I get that. Well a question, but that shouldn't he 57 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: have been. That's not what happens. They come to work 58 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: on Monday after Thursday game. There wasn't gonna be any 59 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: study over the way, and we had the locker room 60 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: where Doug said I'll see you guys on Monday. So 61 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: he had that time off. There's just the you know, 62 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: the the overachiever in me that says, you know, get 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: back in work hard, take the time and rest. But 64 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: that's not who he is. You hide that well, ochiever. 65 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: I am all overachiever pal. All right, let's get into 66 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: big things. Big Thing one is no news, or at 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: least it wasn't no news over the week, and we 68 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: didn't hear much about the Jalen Ramsey trade request. But 69 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: right before the show started, Adam Schefter tweeted this, saying 70 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: that Jalen Ramsey called the team late last night saying 71 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: that he was sick and would be unable to practice today. 72 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: Adam then goes on to tweet more, saying that he 73 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: might have the flu all week. He's not sure. Sources 74 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: say that he's dealing with a flu bug. We'll let 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: you decide if that's a coincidence or not. Big Thing 76 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: too is per sonality. We always thought the personality of 77 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: this team is to run impound the ball. That wasn't 78 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: the case on Thursday Night Football. Before Leonard from sixty 79 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: nine yard run, he had eleven carries for negative eight 80 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: yards Doug Marrone says, it's a problem and we have 81 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: to address it, you know obviously with disappointed and we 82 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: understand we have to run the ball better, right, I mean, 83 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: so that that's everybody you know that's tight ends, receivers, 84 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: running backs, everyone's included in that. And Big thing three 85 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: is you think, you know so quick to write off 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: players like Leon Jacobs, Taven, Brian will Richardson and Duan Smooth. 87 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: But we talked about how we have to let those 88 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: players develop. We saw one guy develop on Thursday night, 89 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: Calais Campbell. What's happy for him? So good? I mean 90 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: seeing you know, get get the action. You know, we 91 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: tease him so so hard, you know, for the first 92 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: two Yearsday's career, because he's been so close a lot 93 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: of pressures. He just can never get able to hunt. 94 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: So we best what I'm calling rookie and stuff. But 95 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: today he was out there playing like a vet, you know, 96 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean a true vet. You know, were 97 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: quay great. So the guys, we gotta go back to 98 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: big thing one. Yeah. Uh. Jalen Ramsey tweets something late 99 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: last night at two saying that he's up and over 100 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: all of that. Um now the news about him being 101 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: sick this week. I don't know what to make out 102 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: of that. If he is sick, to activate him until 103 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: he feels better. He feels better, that's fine, right, See, 104 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: that's this is the only leverage that he has. Um 105 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: and and let's just make it clear again for people 106 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: who are wondering. The Jaguars have him this year, they 107 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: have the fifth year option. Then after the fifth year 108 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: option they can franchise him in two He has zero 109 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: leverage except for this. Now. It's interesting because he pledged 110 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: last Monday when he was here, that he wouldn't be 111 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: a distraction, that he'd be there a hundred percent. Well, 112 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: go back and check the tape. But a hundred percent 113 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: behind his teammates. Behind him means doing what's best for 114 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: you and staying at home. Now, if he's legitimately sick, 115 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: but are we behind that this morning? No, because we 116 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: talked about it. If it's the Jalen Ramsey that we 117 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: know and he's sick, he's still here. He doesn't have 118 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: any leverage. This is the only play that he can make. 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: He's making it. Yeah, and yeah, I go back to 120 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: I want him to be here. I know Jaguars fans 121 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: love him, I like watching him. I hope he is 122 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: part of this team going forward. But at some point 123 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: the all I want to do is win doesn't add 124 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: up to I want to leave and now I'm sick, 125 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: so after you gotta win. If he's sick, I I godspeed. 126 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: I hope he feels better and a chicken soup into death. 127 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: But if he's not sick, then move on, timer and 128 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: not move on cut him, but move on. Let's get started. 129 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: Us prepare. When you're ready to play, we can play. Well. 130 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: It's pretty clear if the stories are true that they're 131 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: not they're not in the mode of trading him because 132 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: they there have been offers something seem like they're good 133 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: and legitimate. And the story came out and I forget 134 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: who broke it over the weekend that Mr Khan was 135 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: willing to make him the highest paid coinner in the game. 136 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: He goes back to something that I said last week 137 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: that I believe. I believe that I believe Now I 138 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: don't think you can make him happy. The offer that 139 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: I saw said that he would be the highest paid 140 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: corner in the game. Jalen Ramsey does not want to 141 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: be the highest paid corner of the game. He wants 142 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: to be the highest paid player in the game. He 143 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: wants to be one of those guys that transcend his position, 144 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: a difference maker. And I think go to the Houston game. 145 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: They shut down to Shawn Watson because they took DeAndre 146 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: Hopkins out of the game. Did you see what Watson 147 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: did to a very good Texans team, I'm sorry, a 148 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: very good Chargers team yesterday. Three touchdowns, three fifty yards passing. 149 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Ramsey transcends a lot of that. They're 150 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him more than I think sixteen 151 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: million would make him the highest paid guy in the game. Um, 152 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot going on right now. This is just it. 153 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: He has the only leverage he has is to play 154 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: these games and hope to frustrate them to the point 155 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: that they go get him out of here and matter what. 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: But you know, October twenty nine, there's the trade deadline 157 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: and they don't have to trade him. They're in no 158 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: hurry to do it. They can just keep deactivating him. 159 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: And something we've talked about, Brian um Shod Khan is 160 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: not your normal NFL owner. He is not. If it 161 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: gets into hey, I think you know, blank or whatever 162 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: it is. Uh. I don't necessarily think Shod Khan is 163 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, just because you want this, it has 164 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: to happened. Just because this is the norm, it has 165 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: to happen. I think he'll be very willing. Look, I 166 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: think this is what's best for the Jaguars, Jalen, and 167 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: we need to talk. But just because you want X 168 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I'm going to allow X to happen. 169 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: I think this is what's gonna happen. This is what's best. Well, 170 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: and I think that his partners, the other owners are 171 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: quietly applauding to some degree. A lot of them would 172 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: have traded. And well, you understand, we talked about the 173 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: NBA circumstances. You had Alan saying he wanted to be traded, 174 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: and then you had Jamal Adams saying he wanted to 175 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: be traded, and there were other players that were you know, 176 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: trade trade, trade. I went out, I went out, I 177 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: went out. You know, that's NBA kind of stuff. And 178 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: we talked about how that's detrimental to the NFL. So 179 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: for Shod holding the line on that, he's saying, hey, look, 180 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: you signed a contract, Jalen. Right, you sold your rights 181 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: to us for that contract when you were drafted. We 182 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: own your rights. You sold them to us. We're not 183 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: giving them back just because you want them back. As 184 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: I told my son when he asked for a car 185 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: on a sixteenth birthday, it's good to want things and 186 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: both scared. You bet doesn't mean you're gonna get them. Hey, 187 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 1: let's go to the last thing real quickly, because I 188 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: couldn't help a thing there were and Dwan Smooth didn't 189 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: get a lot of heat, he didn't get a lot 190 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: of coverage, you know, back up third round pick. People thought, well, 191 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: I went Smooth going to come on right to sacks 192 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: the other night, and we had heard throughout camp from 193 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Todd Wash and from Doug Moron that he was coming on. 194 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: But the tap of Brian thing to me was the 195 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: one that I that I have to point out here 196 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: because Taven Brian in the middle of the field was 197 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: incredibly disruptive. He got pressure in the Texans game, but 198 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: he didn't get a sack, so no one saw it. 199 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: But he got great pressure on a couple of different 200 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: occasions and looked like a guy that was getting better. 201 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: So smooths getting better and Brian is getting better and 202 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: and Sin he's on injured reserve. He's a bust. He 203 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: was a fourth round pick. These guys are meant to develop. 204 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: How many fourth round picks come in and start right away? 205 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: Plus youa Jeremy Parnell out there last year. Hey, look, 206 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: development is the key here. Don't be impatient with players 207 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: because they don't flash and show dominance right away. Some 208 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: of Mart's supposed to these guys, these young inexpensive guys 209 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: are critical to the Jaguars effort this year as they 210 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: go forward. I'll give you another one, and he's going 211 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: to be critical this weekend. Try Herndon. Trey Herndon is 212 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: playing some pretty good ball and it appears he's going 213 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: to get a chance to play healthy as a horse, Brian, 214 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: Healthy as a horse can suit for him. But I 215 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: think it. Look, you judge a team on wins and losses, 216 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: for sure, but you also judge them as they build 217 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 1: their roster. And they've got a nice young group of 218 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: rising talent and Gardner Minshew's part of that obviously, um, 219 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: but Tavin, Bryan will Richardson dwant smoot. There's probably others. 220 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: Leon Jacobs. Leon Jacobs. The last two games that was great, 221 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: but he was all over the field making tackles in Houston, 222 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: and then last week against Tennessee. Another guy getting better 223 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: week to week. That is a really good sign for 224 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: this franchise that those young guys are playing well. You 225 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: rarely see Moron get excited on the sidelines. I was 226 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: standing behind him when Dawan Smooth got the sack. He 227 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: he jumped, he elevated. I've never seen that man's feed 228 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: off the ground, and he he's been He's been waving 229 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: that banner about Smooth throughout the off season all the 230 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: way back to O t a s. He kept telling 231 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: us Smooths coming on, He's getting better. We didn't see 232 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: any evidence of that really because they weren't hitting and 233 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: the preseason was so limited. But we saw all we 234 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: needed to see on Thursday night. So let's quickly address 235 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: big thing too. I know you were on the conference 236 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: call Friday, John W. Dunrone said that we're not getting 237 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: Leonard for Net a chance at all. How do you 238 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: fix that problem? Because that's what we thought the personality 239 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: of this team wasn't It doesn't appear so I always 240 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: there's no quick fix. There's no Hey, we're gonna insert 241 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: this year. Uh, they have to continue to get better, 242 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: continue to work continuity. I think they've got five talented 243 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: guys up front right now. Offensive line play is often 244 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: not necessarily what one person is doing wrong in the 245 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: run game. It's how they're working together. So they've they've 246 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: got to keep going at it. They've got to get 247 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: better at it. The real scientific answer too. You can 248 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: scheme it a little bit, but for the most part, 249 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: they have to begin working together better. A couple of 250 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: things stand out. Um. Fred Taylor and I were sitting 251 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: and talking during the game on on Thursday evening, and 252 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: he said, that's just the way it goes. It's you know, 253 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: it's one yard, it's two yards, it's one yard, it's 254 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: three yards, then it's sixty nine yards. I mean, at 255 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: one point he had minus eight yards rushing, So no 256 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: doubt he's frustrated. Um. And and here's minus eight's an 257 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: offensive line thing. I mean, yeah, that's not he can 258 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: make people miss better, it's not what he does well. 259 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: But when you're minus eight, it's not all the running back. 260 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: Opponents stack the line of scrimmage against quarterbacks that they 261 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: aren't worried about. They're gonna stop the run okay, and 262 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: take away the ability for play action. Well, that means 263 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: you you want to be able to run the ball 264 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: to set up the past with the young quarterback right, run, run, run, 265 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: have everybody come down towards the line of scrimmage to 266 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: stop it, then go over their head. This may be 267 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: a case and Mensho may be the guy to do it. 268 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: Where you throw to run in other words, you're going 269 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: to throw the ball all over the place and soften 270 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: them up and make them take guys off the line 271 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And it usually doesn't happen in the course 272 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: of one game. No is the point. No, it does. No, 273 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: you that that takes time and a confidence level in 274 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: your young quarterback. But based on what seven three completion percentage? Uh, 275 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: he's careful with the ball. I don't think he throws 276 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: a lot of balls that you know, Oh, that one 277 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: should have been picked. He's had one maybe in three games, 278 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: should have been picked. And that's it. The other one, 279 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: the one that was picked, was bobble the ball and 280 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: and and you know, lifted it upwards for Frank Clark 281 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: to get. So I think you can improve the running 282 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: game by the packages you put on the field in 283 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: terms of personnel and Minshew being efficient and accurate as 284 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: he has been, and that should open some lanes up. 285 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: It's going to be a game plan thing. Yeah, but 286 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: you see basically all of social media blaming Leonard when 287 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: we talked about rays running back when in fact, usually 288 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: the running back might be the least important person in 289 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: the running game, uh, in terms of the yards before contact. 290 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: Just an observation. Um, like Bordles needed the running game, 291 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: he needed a strong running game to set a pass right. Um, 292 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see that the Minshew does. I 293 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: think Minshew can open up the running game with his 294 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: arm where Blake Bortles couldn't. He's not gonna hang his 295 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: hat on it, all right, when we come back, some 296 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: highlights from Thursday Night Football right here on the Jaguars 297 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: Digital Network.

Winger is the one that forced it. 332 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: Play action mins wide open for the touchdown. Oh, shaughnessy, 333 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: right open. You needn't have a chance to catch your 334 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: breath with all of that going on so quickly at 335 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,719 Speaker 1: the star leaving. I love the fact that that they 336 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: went right back to O'Shaughnessy. And you and I both 337 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: know because Maron said it over and over and over 338 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: during the TV production meetings in August. That's what he 339 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: likes to do when a guy drops the ball. Now, 340 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: one more thing that stood out on that that moment. 341 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: You and I were on the practice field together last 342 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: week when O'Shaughnessy dropped pass and I reached down to 343 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: pick it up, because don't don't it's my punishment. I 344 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: have to chase that ball down. I should catch that ball. 345 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: So when he dropped the ball on the third down 346 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: conversion and he didn't go chase it, I thought, o'shaannesty 347 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: that your punishment, go pick up the ball. Right. He 348 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: was mad at himself, and I appreciate the fact that 349 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: he caught the second pass. Well. I thought all last 350 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: week Jaguars were gonna win this game by at least 351 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: ten and people thought I was nuts, But I thought 352 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: that's how the NFL works a lot of times. I 353 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: thought they come out with their hair on fire plan. 354 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: That was a huge play in it. They were able 355 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: to play from a head rather than behind. And also, 356 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: if you notice what we were talking about with team 357 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: stack in the box against Fournette, play action worked at 358 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: the linebacker, looked in at four Nette and let us 359 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: Shaughnessy go by him. It's a clear example of what 360 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: teams are doing. So since you mentioned what you thought, 361 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: and I know you've get more highlights but it it 362 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: bears conversation here. Um. I didn't think that this team 363 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: was going to overcome the Week of distraction because last 364 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: year they didn't. Right, And we've talked all offseason. We 365 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: talked about whether this locker room was mature enough to 366 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: understand the circumstances and then pushed through it, right, especially 367 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: Jalen because we said he was gonna have to be 368 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: the key guy. Well he was the guy who was 369 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: causing the issue. So I wasn't sure that they were 370 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: going to be able to come through it. When they 371 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: got that play, I went. But I like the different 372 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: locker room. We talked about something last week. I liked 373 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: how after the incident in text in in in Houston, 374 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: they responded and played better. They showed mental toughness. There's 375 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: maybe that's twice now there's something to these guys. Maybe 376 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: they're tougher than last week. The mental toughness was missing 377 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: in week one. In week two and week three, it's there. 378 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: That's a great signs. They proved it to us. All right, 379 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: let's stay in the first quarter three and nine, have 380 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: to keep the drive going. Minshow takes matters into his 381 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: zone hands. He could be the backup in preseason. Here's 382 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: one for the end zone chart. He's got it touchdown. 383 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: What a throw, what perfect place? I mean that defensive 384 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: back was all over him. Yeah. All you hear about 385 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: him coming out of college, arm strength, size, whatever, they're 386 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,239 Speaker 1: out of college. What about preseason? Right, that's as good 387 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: a throw as you can make. And I don't know 388 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: if he has a strong arm a week on whatever, 389 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: but if you see more of that, he's good. How 390 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: many times did we see him against Baltimore miss on 391 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: the fifteen yard out and you thought he just didn't 392 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: have people after this? Right? We didn't see this gardener 393 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: binnshoe in the preseason. You can go, well, okay, it 394 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: was because he wasn't playing with any starters, and that 395 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: that's valid. But we didn't see the accuracy from him 396 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: in the preseason like we have seen it, and not 397 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: just the you know, the zip on the short balls, 398 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: but dropping that ball in I mean on the right 399 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: side as good or better than that throw. We're talking 400 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: about the one yard Yeah, and that was a great 401 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: multiple big time throws. And then there was a third 402 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: down conversion to d J. Chark where it was in 403 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: the spot where only Chart would give there was also 404 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: a huge series in the second half where I felt 405 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: like Tennessee was starting in game momentum, where Gardner had 406 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: at least they got a break on one interference call, 407 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: but he had a big time pass on third down, 408 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: the kind of play that when you don't make it, 409 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: it comes back to haunt you and of a sudden 410 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: you're giving up a lead. He's got some guts in 411 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: big situations, all right. We saw this a lot on Thursday, 412 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: nine and a half times. To be exactly, it was 413 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: hard to pick one third quarter, it's fourth and six, 414 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: Titans go for it, not in class Campbell's house. Just 415 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: got it away again in a sack, and guess who 416 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: class Campbell. Well, that was the biggest moment of the game, obviously. 417 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that right there, just put a knife 418 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: in the in the comeback hopes of the Titans, because 419 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: the Jaguars went right down the field, got the field goal, 420 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: made it seventeen to nothing, and you could just see 421 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: the deflation on the Titans sideline. And that's when Marcus 422 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: Mariota has been at his best against the Jaguars, making 423 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: plays in critical moments, but they didn't give him any 424 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: room to breathe last Thursday night. Well, the pass rush 425 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: was so much better in this game than it has 426 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: been in past games against the Titans, partially because I 427 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: believe that was the first time that Jaguars have had 428 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: a seven point lead against the Titans since they blew 429 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: them out here in Dougs first game. They had a 430 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: three point lead in the first game in two thousand 431 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: and seventeen. They have not had a chance to rush 432 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: the past or get them into passing situations. The way 433 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: they made the Titans play is the way that the 434 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: Titans don't like to play, and it's a There's probably 435 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: three more guys involved in this pass rush now then 436 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: were involved in the past rush In the past, when 437 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: you throw Tavan smooth Alan, all of a sudden, they 438 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: came in waves in two thousand seventeen. It looks like 439 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: they're able to do that now. Darius was a factor 440 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: in the pass ruship. I know we got a sack, 441 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 1: but more than that, he was pushing the pocket from 442 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: the middle, and you Mariota loves to get out and 443 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: make things happen. Well, Calais Campbell was eating both tackles alive. 444 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they're playing Dennis Kelly instead of Taylor Lawan, 445 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: who we know is one of the better tackles in football. 446 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: And Jack Conston was all pros a rookie, but his 447 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: battle knee injury. Since if you have the pressure up 448 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: the middle from Darius and from Tavan and from Abrey Jones, 449 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: those guys on the outside are gonna eat and they 450 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 1: did and talk about You can't say enough good things 451 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: about Claius, but he was hurting during the game, especially 452 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: after halftime. Every single drive was just an effort for him. 453 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: He needed ten days. Watch it didn't slow him down. 454 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: Watch this one. Now he's going home to play in 455 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: his hometown of Denver against Garrett Bowles, the young tackle 456 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: from Utah who's I think was the first round pick 457 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: last year. Two years ago. He wasn't first, he was. Yeah, 458 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: he leaves the league in holding penalties. I mean that 459 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: the guy has become a he's hanging on for dear life. 460 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: John always said this has got to stop. Um, it's 461 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: probably not gonna stop this week because Plais Campbell is 462 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: going to be lined up over him. Tough matchups, say 463 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: the least. Yeah, well tough for him. Yeah, all right, 464 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: when we come back some Bernie Woodfire Girl Hot Takes 465 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: and we visit the Ozone mail bag.

Um. 493 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: I think after watching the defense the last two weeks 494 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew obviously completing seventy three passes, Um, I 495 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: think Jackmons have a winning record at the boy. I 496 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: think you look at what how it sets up here 497 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: the Broncos. Um. I watched him yesterday. Their defense doesn't 498 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: look anything like the defense that we've seen in the past. 499 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: Their offense looks slow. Um. I'm not saying that was 500 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, mark that down as a win, but that's 501 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: a winnable game. Same thing in Carolina. I didn't know 502 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: that that was a game that you know, this team 503 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: would go play well, well, you know, I mean, they 504 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: get the back of a quarterback, although he did play well. 505 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: Uh you know, same thing Breeze is not playing. Uh, 506 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, probably you'll just be getting back into the lineup. 507 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: You get the Texans in in uh London. I mean, 508 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: I think it's reasonable to suggest the Jaguars, with the 509 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: defense playing well, if the quarterback can keep it up, 510 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: could have a winning record when they get to their body. 511 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: So I'll go with it. I agree. We all said 512 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: four and four would be difficult to attain what they 513 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: had to do, and they you know, four and for 514 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: whatever it is that Folds four and five. When Folds 515 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: came back, that was the narrative. I think that's very doable. 516 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: And uh, four and four or five and four is 517 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: very doable. And I'll see what happens when he comes back. Yeah, 518 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: he talks about it last week games. You thought you 519 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: at least had a chance we were if he about Carolina. 520 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: That's before we knew anything about what Cam New was going. No, 521 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: and and and this this Alan kid has a little 522 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: Minshew thing of his own going there four touchdowns in 523 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: his hometown yesterday against the Cardinals. So you know, and 524 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: Matt McCaffrey. Kid is a hell of a player. I 525 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: mean that you see him pull away on that touchdown. 526 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: There's I'm not suggesting in any mean that the jag 527 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: Wons be favored in any of these games. But with 528 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: the defense playing as well as it is, and it 529 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: remains to be seen they can play that well without 530 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey in the lineup, I think that's a big 531 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: question mark. I think they'll be five and four. I 532 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: just I see them going four and too over the 533 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: next six and it's a big Look, it's a big deal. 534 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: You're not getting Drew Brees right, Uh, You're not gonna 535 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: see a healthy Sam darn Remember, because and we've had 536 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: players around here who have had mono they worried. Remember 537 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Brandon Linder had mono and 538 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: didn't play for four or five weeks because they worried 539 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: about the spleen. Well, Adam Gay said over the weekend, Hey, 540 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: we're worried about the spleen, you know, two weeks. So anyway, 541 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of reason to think that there are 542 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: games on the schedule that are falling favorably to them. 543 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: It could change the jagg wars could have injuries, but 544 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: presently sitting here right now, hot take bide and four. 545 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: All right, my heart take is the squeaky wheels us 546 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 1: need to be quiet. And by squeaky wheels I mean 547 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: Unique and Jalen. And this is almost not fair to 548 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: say to Unique because once he has been back professional 549 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: no doubt. So uh, this is not saying that he 550 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: is doing anything wrong with his behavior as approach right now. 551 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: But he was obviously a story in terms of contract 552 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: in the off season and now Jaalen is. But the 553 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: bottom line is, you know, Josh Allen and Clais Campbell, 554 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: that those two pass rushers are as important, if not 555 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: more important than the two guys who have made the 556 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: most noise. And Clais Campbell when he's right, when he's healthy, 557 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: he is still the best player on this defense in 558 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: terms of the disruption that they need, in terms of 559 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: what makes this defense go again. I love jay On Ramsey, 560 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: but had gave up a huge play the other night 561 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: and gave up a huge play on third down. Gave 562 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,959 Speaker 1: up two of the bigger plays that they had against 563 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: them on defense, one a third down when the game 564 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: was still in intact. Great player, but the pass rush. 565 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: The main point of this is at the pass rush 566 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: up front. Josh Allen, Clay As Campbell, those two guys 567 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: seem to be what's making it go. I think I 568 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: thinking got Way will be a big part of that, 569 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure that he is quite as important 570 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: as Clay as Gamble. I was really impressed with how 571 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: he spent time with you in the locker room Thursday. 572 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: I thought he was a total pro. Uh and and 573 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: that's not a surprise. I think we all knew that 574 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: he could be and probably would be. I'm let me 575 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: play off of your hot take. I think that Josh 576 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: Allen and Unique and Gockway, who's still looking for his 577 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: first act. He's only played in two of the three games, 578 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: we'll have a big performance. And he had run the 579 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: other night. Yeah got one, Okay, all right, then I 580 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: got one. Yeah. I think that those two guys Alan 581 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: and in Goquay will both have big performances. They may 582 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: not have seven sacks between them, but if you saw 583 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: Dante Fowler last night for the Rams, you saw he 584 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: was in the quarterbacks face a lot. I think that 585 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: they will because there's going to be so much focus 586 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: on stopping Calias Campbell that those two guys schematically, I 587 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: think they'll be putting interesting positions, but I think that 588 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: those two guys will create havoc in Denver on Sunday. 589 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: The gist of this take is when this defense is 590 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: right as much as they need Jalen and and Jalen 591 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: is really good, it rises and falls on on what 592 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: the what the rotation, what the waves up front are doing, 593 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 1: and when it plays like it did the other night, 594 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: when it gets that kind of pressure, what's going on 595 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: the back end. By the way, I think another thing 596 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: that bears pointing out with Jalen is yes, I think 597 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: he's the best corner in football and one of the 598 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: best five defensive players in football. However, if you watch 599 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: the Packers at yesterday, they have Jayer Alexander, who was 600 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: the fourteenth pick in the draft and nobody ever said 601 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: this is one of the best corners in the game, 602 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: although they said he was a very promising young guy, 603 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: and Kenny King, who they took at the end of 604 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: the first round the year before. Um, that's a hell 605 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: of a combination. They're playing really well. So if the 606 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars were to move on from Jalen, they could replace 607 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: him they wouldn't replace him with another Jalen, but with 608 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: the pass rush up front, they could find good players 609 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: that could come in and play at a high level. 610 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: You could replace him something to watch and all this 611 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: boy had his best games since two thousands seventeen the 612 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: other night that uh, that's gonna be a storyline to follow. 613 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: Are all right? My Bernie would foul grill hot take 614 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: is DJ Chark will be a one by two thousand 615 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: and twenty. He didn't develop as much as he would 616 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: have liked him last year. But after hearing this in 617 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 1: the locker room, I thought, I gotta make this guy 618 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: in my hot take on Monday. Well, let me go back. 619 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: Even through struggles, you know, they never got down on 620 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: me at all. Uh. You know, you had a lot 621 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: of noise from the outside, but the guy in his 622 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: locker room always, you know, motivated me. So I felt 623 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: like it was my duty to go put in the work. 624 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: And this also even put in a lot of work. 625 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: So we know he didn't play as well as he 626 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: wanted to last year, but he was talking about you know, 627 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: these guys never lost sighting, especially Keena McCardell, d D Westbrook, 628 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: all those guys knew I had dim me and we're 629 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: seeing that this year for sure. Well, he didn't play 630 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: as well as he wanted to that and that's valid. Um, 631 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: he didn't play as well as some people thought he should. 632 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: That's invalid. I mean you're always the first one to 633 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: say rookie receivers take time to develop. But again, he's 634 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: one of these guys that we add to that list 635 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: with with Tavin Bryan and Leon Jacobs. Um he uh 636 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: d wants mood. I mean, these guys are coming on 637 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: now in their second season, which is when you hope 638 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: that they are. Yeah, he looks like a one and 639 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: uh something Jeff Logerman said multiple times last year. They 640 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: always kind of stuck in the back of my mind. 641 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: He was playing exceptionally well on special teams the whole year, 642 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 1: and it cared about it. Worked at it, worked it 643 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: better at it. It was really good at it. For 644 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: a a young wide receiver who plays a prima donna 645 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: position to come into the league, be willing to do that, 646 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: be willing to excel, had the tools to do it. 647 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: Jeff thought that voted very well for his future at receiver, 648 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: and turns out he's right. And as we all know, 649 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: he's a great kid, a great young man. Will stand 650 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: there when it's good, We'll stand there when it's not good. 651 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 1: A good head on the shoulders for sure. All right, 652 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: let's visit the oz on mail back the let's stay 653 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: right here in Jacksonville. Talked to Ed. What do you 654 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: think our QB situation will be after the season? If 655 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: Folds the starter, do we trade Minshew? If Minshew is 656 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: the starter, what do we do with fols Well? I 657 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: get that people want to dive into this and and 658 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: it's going to be a fascinating topic. If Minshew continues 659 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: to play as well. I guess the problem I have 660 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: answering it is there are so many ifs. If Folds 661 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: is good and I Mensho's night, if Minshi's night, if 662 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: they're both good, if they both so, I think the 663 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: bottom line is it looks for the first time in 664 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: a long time that they're going to have to legitimate 665 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: sources of equity good players at that position. Uh. I 666 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: don't think under any circumstances, though you if Minshew plays well, 667 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: I don't see any reason to part ways with him, 668 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: because Folds is really on a two year deal. You 669 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: keep Gardner if you think he's good bare minimum. You 670 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: hold on to that because he's a young quarterback in 671 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: this league. So I think it's gonna be interesting. Uh. 672 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: As I wrote in the other one this morning, this 673 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: whole thing does have potential to be a little bit 674 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: of a mess, but it's a wonderful mess. Well, so 675 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: he give me the problem because the last time the 676 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: Jaguars had any quarterback depth whatsoever like this, when they 677 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: had Steve Burline, who would go on to leave the 678 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers the next year to the NFC Championship game, 679 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: they had a young Mark Rounell who they knew was 680 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: going to be their long term starter, and a young 681 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: Rob Johnson who became Fred Taylor when they traded him 682 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: to Buffalo for those picks. So, yeah, give me that problem. 683 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: Here's the thing with um Nick Foles, and I haven't 684 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: read the ozone, so I'm not sure what you said. 685 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: It's million dollars in dead money sitting on your cap. 686 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: You made a calculated decision and a huge financial commitment 687 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: to Nick Foles, and you're not just going to abandon 688 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: that based on twelve snaps. You can't so hold your 689 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,479 Speaker 1: horses there. There's no trade value for Nick Foles because 690 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: you can't afford to eat that. If sixteen million on 691 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: this cap for Blake Portals is constricting this year and 692 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: it is, people said to me, why did they just 693 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: trade for Josh Dobbs. It's all they could afford, right, 694 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: So if sixteen is constricting would be crushing. You can't 695 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: do it. Foles will be here min shoes under contract. 696 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: Why do anything? Just figure out what's the best way 697 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 1: to deploy them and keep them both had a bad Yeah, 698 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't see why they wouldn't, and then you deal 699 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: with it as a move forward. All right, let's go 700 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: to Nicholas. As frustrating as this season may have been 701 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: at the start, fans should realize that this team is 702 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: only inches away from being two and one and the 703 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: a f C South leaders. Yeah, nothing's happened yet that 704 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: takes you remotely out of anything, though they've They outplayed 705 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: the Texans last week in the last three quarters and 706 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: happened to lose, But they outplayed the team that I 707 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: think is now the division favorite on the road. Uh, 708 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: they're right in it and everything's in front of them, 709 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,959 Speaker 1: and and the way they have played the last two weeks, 710 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: I think with or without Jaalen in the next few weeks. 711 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,479 Speaker 1: They have a chance to remain in this thing because 712 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: the defensive line is playing so well. You're just a 713 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: game back with thirteen to play, you know. From over All, right, 714 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: let's go to Toronto. I am down with mention media 715 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: and happy he's doing well. But I still have to 716 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: wonder how much better this offense would be if Folds 717 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: doesn't get injured. I have to think that Houston game 718 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: would be a w and the Titans game a bit 719 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: more of a blowout, don't you think, Mr? Oh, yes, 720 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's fair to Mensh. You you know, 721 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: I uh, I think they're pretty similar in the way 722 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: that they want to play. I don't think. I don't 723 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: think John D. Felippo would be calling games that different 724 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: if it was Foalds compared to Menshi, particularly either the 725 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: night he let Minshew play in situations and I dictate 726 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: the game with his arm uh. I don't know that 727 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: they'd be any better or worse with Foalds Right now, 728 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything from Minshew to make me think, wow, 729 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: if Fowls had been there on this play, it might 730 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: have been different. Maybe in the first game, you know, 731 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: because it was. But even then he played okay, he 732 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: played fine afterwards. I don't think anything about the record, 733 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: about the circumstance would be better with Folds. The only 734 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: thing I think you might have had was fools get 735 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: rid of the ball or not fumble the ball when 736 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: he got nailed from But he got nailed from behind 737 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: by Whitney merciless, you know, I mean, I just yeah 738 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: the ball security in Texas and make an argument that 739 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: may be the only thing. Um. And you know if 740 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: if you don't have that, you might have won the game, obviously, 741 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: because that was the only touchdown that they scored. I 742 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: go back, Um, but I'm not sure that Foals necessarily 743 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: those last two d minchet. I'm not saying Foals couldn't 744 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: have done it, but I don't know that he would 745 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 1: have done it better. You're reading too much into it 746 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: too early, You just are I mean, let the whole 747 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: thing play out. I go back, just on the heels 748 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 1: of that, and say again, looking at the Texans offense 749 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: on the road against Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, Uh, 750 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: they were explosive yesterday and they were not week before. 751 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: So I think that is a good reference point for 752 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: us with this Jaguars defense. Yeah, it looks like two 753 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: different teams basically. All right, when we come back, we'll 754 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: wrap up the show with some NFL headlines right here 755 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network.

Alright, wrapping up this Monday 780 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: show with some NFL headlines over the weekend. Let's go 781 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: back to Thursday Night. Tom Brady reacting to Thursday Night 782 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: Football of all people saying I'm turning this game off. 783 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: There's too many penalties when an actuality, at least for 784 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: offensive holding, there were less penalties. So there was a 785 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: conference call Saturday night with l River on who is 786 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 1: the gentleman who controls and controls but manages the officiating 787 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL and if you were called back in 788 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: the off season, there was a point of emphasis on 789 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: offensive holding, primarily on the back side. They called it 790 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: lobster blocking. Guys got their hands out side. So in 791 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: the first two weeks of the season those calls. Holding 792 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: calls were up sixty six percent. There were five point 793 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: seven per game. After the phone call the other night 794 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 1: where they sort of the emphasized it a little bit, 795 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: talked about where to call it where not, it was 796 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,800 Speaker 1: down to just two point nine. That's about well. So 797 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: the funny thing is is that it was up sixty 798 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: over the year before. It's just two point nine you 799 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: could hand holding per game. Yeah, we asked some of 800 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room, was a big deal 801 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady was tweeting about Thursay night football prime time, 802 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: And they're like, he's just sit at home, he's hanging anyway. 803 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: Players don't aren't as thrilled by a sort of things. Fans. 804 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: By the way, how about Tom Brady yesterday going to 805 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and saying, throw the flag, throw the flag, 806 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: throw the flag. He got his way and it wasn't overturned. Yeah, 807 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: I thought that was a bit too all right. NFL 808 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: headline number two Peyton wins one. He has coached the 809 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: Saints for fourteen years. Yesterday was his first time beating 810 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in Seattle. In his career, mind you, that's 811 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,399 Speaker 1: what Teddy Bridgewall there, Well, it wasn't the first time 812 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 1: that he beat um the Seahawks in Seattle and his 813 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: crewer was the first time he won a game as 814 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Saints without Drew Brees in 815 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: the starting lineup, right. What what was unusual about that game, 816 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: also from the Seahawks standpoint, is is that Pete Carroll 817 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: was fifteen and o at at home in September. Never 818 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 1: lost a home game in September until yesterday. They scored 819 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 1: on defense, they scored on special teams. Teddy Bridgewater wasn't spectacular, 820 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: but he didn't have to be. He through two touchdowns. 821 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: What I thought was interesting is is that all the 822 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: time that Peyton's been there, it's the first time he's 823 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: won a game without and it was It was a 824 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: huge that was surprised everybody because everybody thought that team 825 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: was built around Breeze and only Breeze. And then I 826 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: only beat Sattle, they beat him handily. So uh, that 827 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 1: shows you that that team A is gonna be dangerous 828 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: from the Jaguars play him here and B has a 829 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 1: good chance to be around when Breeze gets back which 830 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: means they're still in it. When you score on defense, 831 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: you win a significant point at the time when you 832 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: score on defense, and you score on special teams and 833 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: most of the time, right And I remember when we 834 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 1: found out that Drew Brees would be out for the 835 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: Jaguars team, Everyone's like, ah, that's a win. Then not 836 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: so fast, Yeah, this team is not good to say 837 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 1: that anybody get your point, and well it may all right. Finally, 838 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: oh two eighteen Offensive Rookie of the Year se Kwon 839 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,399 Speaker 1: Barkley severed a high ankle spring yesterday was seen leaving 840 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: the game with crutches. They have the Redskins next week. 841 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones played well, but you can't really figure out 842 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: that Giant's team right now. Well, for Daniel Jones, it's 843 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,839 Speaker 1: obviously an easier task to play anybody with that guy 844 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: in the backfield. Without it, it means he's got to 845 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: use his arm, and he used his leg yesterday too. 846 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 1: If your dad, geentleman, aren't you sitting in the press 847 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: box before s Kwon gets hurt saying maybe I'm not 848 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 1: so stupid after all? Right, he knew what he wanted 849 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 1: in Jones. Big strong kids, strong arm looks comfortable and 850 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: confident in the pocket. Um, you know, looks like a younger, 851 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: maybe bigger, stronger Eli Manning. And uh, it's too bad 852 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: for sake, Kwan because that high ankle for running back 853 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: probably will be a month before he gets back minimum 854 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: and then you've got to sort of work your way 855 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,320 Speaker 1: back off of that. So that will certainly hurt his 856 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: overall production. Yeah, I mean and dramatically reduced. And you 857 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: talk about prose prose. I was watching that game and 858 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,479 Speaker 1: you had Eli Manning on the bench with Daniel Jones 859 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: behind him with him the entire game easily could be 860 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: a jerk about that, and he wasn't. It's a kind 861 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: of guy. It's his way he was raised.
