1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Something you may remember from the good old day. I 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: feel so you're old. Thanksgiving week, Glad you're spending a 3 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: little portion of it with the Senior Moments group. Lyon 4 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: Sexton along with senior writer John Ozier. Joe Fortunato is 5 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: wandering about the Cavernis studio somewhere, hopefully not aimlessly, as 6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: he gets us through each and every Wednesday. John. The 7 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: Jaguars in Arizona this week. They take the best defense 8 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: in Football West this Sunday afternoon to play the Cardinals. 9 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: And you know, yeah they're good, maybe they're really good. 10 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: You think maybe they're great. Well, yeah, I mean, and uh, 11 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: I don't know all the comparisons with the eight five 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Bears and the two thousand Ravens, and you're starting to 13 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: hear that stuff. Well, they're not going to get their points, 14 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: by the way, I looked that up this week and 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: they've already given up one forty one and both of 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: those teams were in the low one sixties. They're not 17 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: gonna set the points record. And that's kind of where 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: the great defenses are. But you can get in a 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: conversation that includes the Denver defense. A couple of years ago, 20 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: the Seattle defense when it was going the Eagles defense. 21 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean there's a group that carries it 22 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: and gets it there that you have a chance to 23 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: be discussed if you get to the postseason, that's gonna 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: be the topic of why and uh it's interesting you 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: hear that, and then you hear all the questions about, well, 26 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: but what about they got lucky on Sunday or they 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: are what are they going to do in the offseason 28 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: about the quarterback position? As a fan and as somebody 29 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: who if you if you're a fan of this team, 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: you love the game right well, and you're a fan 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: of this team, what you're looking for is you know, 32 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: a lifetime of fan memories. Well, it may not get 33 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: better than this. As far as watching the defense play 34 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: for this team ever, it's the best defense they've ever had. 35 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't care if they don't match up statistically against 36 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: the NY nine team right and and they're really close. 37 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: I think head in a couple of areas, um a 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: terrific offense that's take them to a lead and allowed 39 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: them to do off that team. You watch that team, 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: every player. I'll watched that team eighteen games. It never 41 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: felt as suffocating on defense as this there was some 42 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, it just didn't. It didn't have the pass rush, 43 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: not on this level. It didn't. It didn't scare opponents. 44 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: This is getting to a point now where in the 45 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: second half of games, you know the other team is 46 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: not gonna function and with that nine team, and I'm 47 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: not going to denigrate it, because there were some great players, 48 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: great people on that team. You guys had more than 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: ten sacks. That was a special year. But during that season, 50 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: I don't remember a feeling of, boy, this is a 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: play with the defense might score, you know, and when 52 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: you watched the great defenses, those are the things you 53 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: start thinking. I've never covered a team where I've thought 54 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: that about it. And now, all of a sudden, on 55 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: the Fowler, uh not the Fowler player with the Tuvin 56 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: Smith played the other day, you thought it might be 57 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: sack fumble here, and you're starting to expect that, and 58 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: that's rare for defense to get there. So I guess 59 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, don't look ahead so much that 60 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: you missed the fact that this defense has knock gone 61 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: from Micah, has nobody hurt. You always wonder when you 62 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: have a really good functioning unit, there's usually something where 63 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: it's like, well, this is great, but boy, if you 64 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: had a free safety, or boy, if you had a 65 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: cover corner, if you had a second cover corner, if 66 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: you had a pass rusher. After adding Marcel Darius. Now 67 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: this is a unit where you don't have to think 68 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: what if they had X, how good they would be? 69 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: This is it. This is how good you can be. 70 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: Let's talk about a couple of guys. And by the way, 71 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: there's another first round pick who just came off injured, 72 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: reserve of Calvin Pryor, who probably see the lineup because 73 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: they don't need him, but it's a terrific talent. We'll 74 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: see if he ever has to play, if he can play, 75 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: is as well pick of the first round a few 76 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: years ago by the Jets and fell out of favor 77 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: there and in Cleveland. Um, talk about a couple of 78 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: guys though, who don't get talked about. You know, we 79 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: talked about Las Campbell and the two pass rushersh Aaron 80 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: Colvin is playing as well, if not better than every 81 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: other slot corner in pro football right now. Well, and 82 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 1: as you have to ask a question, I was thinking, 83 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: you've got sort of a swinging door in a sense, 84 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: where in bass Paul Pazze he pays middle linebacker, uh 85 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: and he's on the field certain number of plays. And 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: in Nikkoli yet Aaron Colvin coming in. Both of those guys, 87 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: Paul has been in a Pro Bowl. Aaron Colvin is 88 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: perfectly capable of playing an outside corner. My guess is 89 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: he'll play outside corner for somebody next year and play 90 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: at a very high level. Uh and has first round talent. 91 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: Probably would have been a first round picking out hurt 92 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: his knee. About a nickel guy doing this and playing 93 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: at a phenomenal level and doing what you always saw 94 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: glimpses of in his first three years. I wrote at 95 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: some point this week in the ozone, I was talking 96 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: about the fact that Colvin might be gone next year, 97 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: which you know, I think that's contract. There's a lot 98 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: of But I enjoy Aaron because he's a smart kid. 99 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: When you talk to him, he gives thoughtful answers, he's 100 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: self aware, he's mature the work ethic, but above that, 101 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: his mus say willingness. But I've never sensed any resentment 102 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: on his part that he's not starting on the outside. 103 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: And people can say, well you shouldn't because this team, 104 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: but this is the NFL. Guys want to start on 105 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: that side. They want to be the guy. He burns 106 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: to be the guy. But within the context of this, 107 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: he's doing his job at such a high level and 108 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: it's fitting into his role. Uh knows. He's a big 109 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 1: part of it. You know. One for Aaron Colvin, because 110 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: that kid is a player. About Malie Jackson, we talked 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: again and so much about what Darius has brought to 112 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: the run defense. Last week, if you go back and 113 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: watch the game, he wore out Kevin Zeisler, who the 114 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: Browns paid twelve million dollars a year for. That's the 115 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: biggest check they've written on their offensive line, and he 116 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: wore him out. And you know what Doug Morone said 117 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: earlier this week that since Darius has arrived, Ry Jones 118 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: has played better. I mean, you've got some guys that 119 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: are not pointed to and said, wow, look what he does. 120 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: Guys like Calais Unique and Telvin Smith and Jalen and 121 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: boy A. This defense is loaded with guys who do 122 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: their job and flash when they need to. Well, it's 123 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: become a you know, feeling in five or six years 124 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: when we're really senior senior moments. We'll be sitting here going, 125 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: I remember the defense well because it goes away fast well. 126 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: And that's one of those things that you know when 127 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: you look back, you'll look back on it as a boy. 128 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: What a perfect storm and everything compliments the other. Darius 129 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: comes in and all of sudden, Malik, who's the prototypical 130 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: three technique tackle, can go do that. You've got Avery Jones, 131 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: so you have depth. You have clay As Campbell who 132 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: can fill a role, etcetera, etcetera. How about you want Smooth? 133 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: The rookie for Illinois has played meaningful snaps and played 134 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: pretty well from what I hear, who they think is 135 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: gonna be. You know, he's exactly what you want from 136 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: a third round pick, meaning in years past, a smooths 137 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: playing too much because you had to play him. Now 138 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: he's playing the perfect amount and you can easily see 139 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: him in in uh in two years being a guy 140 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: who steps in everybody goes. How come nobody were talked 141 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: about Dwayne's We have been room to talk about Dayne Smooth. 142 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: But you've got eleven guys who are all functioning together, 143 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: able to play their roles. And what's interesting? And I 144 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: did this story for Jaguars dot Com last week. You 145 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: really do get a feeling. As much as players in 146 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: this day and age are motivated by money and individual fame, 147 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: these guys like playing together. You're on the sidelines, I 148 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: assume you see it a lot more than I do. 149 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: The absolute joy they have and the real joy when 150 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: somebody else makes the play. I think back to the 151 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Telvin Smith interception in Pittsburgh that sort of turned this 152 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: season around. Looking back, and there's a blurry vision. I 153 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: think it was shot by one of our guys. I 154 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: forget their names. Are guys to Candice or something, you know, 155 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm not sure who those guys are. I think maybe 156 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: he has a care. But when Telvin made that pick, 157 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: you saw a blurry image of Boy's hands in the air. 158 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: Now you can't fake that he was, you know. And 159 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: I think Boy would have probably had to pick if 160 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: Telvin hadn't sepped in front of it. Uh, And that 161 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: ought to happen, But that just stuck out at me. 162 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: Of Boy. These guys really do pull for each other. 163 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: It truly is a one direction thing where they're all 164 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: in the same page. So a couple of examples from 165 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: the sidelines to give color to what you're saying. The 166 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: first is Jalen Ramsey is your typical Dion Sanders sque 167 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: corner right, talks about how good he is, beats on 168 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: his chest. We all heard what he said about a 169 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: J doesn't love. It's okay, that's true. However, when a 170 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: J boy gets a pick, there's pure joy in his 171 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: eye and he's the first guy and he did it 172 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: in London for the first time, and he's hitting him 173 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: in the chest and says, you're the best corner in 174 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: the NFL. And A wait, that's Jalen Ramsey who believes 175 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: he's the best corner, and he is giving the credit 176 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: and saying you're the best corner. And I don't mind saying, 177 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: Brian that he's not missing. I sort of wondered about 178 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: that when boy A first came in. You wondered if 179 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: jan I thought he probably would, but it was a 180 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: it was a legitimate question whether he would or not. 181 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: And to your point, exactly, boy has he And I 182 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: don't know that every elite cover corner would take that approach. 183 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: Now and in the fourth quarter last week, I distinctly 184 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: remember the snow was coming, the wind was coming down, 185 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: it was a you know, the six point ball game. 186 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: Maybe it was only three point ball game at that moment. 187 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: But as the defense was going back out and they 188 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: had the Browns backed up, Kelvin Smith was hopping like 189 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: he does. You all hyped up, and he hops in 190 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: the general direction of Todd Washing. He goes, we'll be 191 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: back in less than a minute, and he turned to 192 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: the offense. He goes, you'll have the ball back in 193 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: less than a minute. And sure enough, three plays they're out. 194 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: Here comes Telvin. I told you, I told you, I 195 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: told you. That's what we do. It's a fr energy 196 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: level that they play with and that they are on 197 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: the sidelines together with. And here's the other thing that 198 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: people don't see but I do. They go up and 199 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: down the sideline and they challenge one another. Molikue is 200 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: down there with the safeties, you know, Miles Jack is 201 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: up talking to uh to Marry and Hobby the defensive 202 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: line coach. They are constantly communicating about where the responsibilities 203 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: are and what they've seen. It is a unique group 204 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: of men, and it feels like you're in the middle 205 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: of something where and it's so hard to put into words, 206 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: but they're still incredibly into seeing their own possibility if 207 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: you will, And I didn't not take that very well. 208 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: But I don't think they know yet how good they 209 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: can be. They know they can be. That's scary that 210 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: you're even saying that they haven't reached their potential the 211 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: way that they're playing. But that's what it feels like 212 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: each week when these guys come in, they can't wait 213 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: to see if they can get it to another level. 214 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: And you say, oh, oh, getting better the oak defensive touchdowns. 215 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: But that's how it feels when you tell stories like 216 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: that on the sidelines, that's you know they're in the 217 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: middle of something and I don't think they found where 218 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: they're going yet. And that's interesting. In Houston an opening day, 219 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: if he said it once, he said it a hundred times. 220 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: Calais Campbell said this is our standard. He was saying 221 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: it to the defensive lineman. By the time we got 222 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: to London, he was selling the standard to everyone. And 223 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: now all of them are carrying them. And hey, we 224 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: saw in where were we were? We were an indie 225 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: where Telvin and uh Aaron Colvin got cross ways with 226 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: one another after a long play down the sideline to 227 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack. They were mad at each other because they 228 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: had let the other one down. Now they hold it 229 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: to a completely different level. This group is good. Now 230 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: here's my question, Tim, because I keep reading and hearing 231 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: from the national types, I don't completely trust this Jaguars 232 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: team yet. In other words, they're waiting for this team 233 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: to not implode. The defense is too good for that. 234 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: But they're waiting to see them take a winnable game 235 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: and let it get away from them. Do you trust 236 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: this team? Because I will tell you I do. Strangely, 237 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: I trust this team with the schedule that's in front 238 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: of them to get to the division title. Yeah. I 239 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: trusted over the long haul over if you think back 240 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: a four game winning streak, final six games, over a 241 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: ten games stretch, I trust it to win a whole 242 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: lot more than it loses. I don't know that I 243 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: trust it. Uh. With this offense, I think it's fair 244 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: to wonder when the oh no game is because when 245 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: you don't pull away, UH, then one mistake, even against 246 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: the Browns the other day, you didn't think it was 247 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: gonna happen. But in that game, one mistake at thirteen 248 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: to seven, one guy slips in the snow, and all 249 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden you lose the game, so that gives 250 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: you a small margin for are You're always gonna be 251 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: holding your breath when you play games like that. But 252 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: over the course of time in the NFL, what you 253 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: look for is what can I take with me wherever 254 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: I go, and it's it's gonna be the best unit 255 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: on the field in most games. The rest of the way, 256 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense will be the most a dictating unit 257 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: on the field. And that's why over six games I 258 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: think they win four or five. Final thought, um, look 259 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: at the final six games at Arizona in the Seattle, Texas, 260 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: here Texas, the Texans here at San Francisco at Tennessee. 261 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: Which of those games gives you the greatest concern for 262 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: an oh No game oh Seattle in Tennessee because there 263 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: you know if you if you put all their quarter 264 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: if you put all six quarterbacks in a bucket and 265 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: said which ones would you like to have, you'd pick 266 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: out Russell Wilson and Marks Mary. So those are the 267 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: ones that as great as this defense is, the big 268 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: time quarterbacks can find your one or two mistakes that 269 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: you make in a game and take advantage of it. 270 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: So those are the two that scare you. Uh. This 271 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: one Sunday scares you because the Cardinals have three or 272 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: four elite level talents Patrick Peterson, Matthew uh Larry Fitzgerald, 273 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: only one on the offense though they're playing at home. Uh. 274 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: And they have a three game winning streak there, four 275 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: and six. This is their last swing, so I don't 276 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: think it's going to be easy. I think they win. 277 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be easy. So this one scares you, 278 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: but not as much as those two I just talked to. 279 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: This one doesn't scare me as much. I mean, they 280 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: only have Fitzgerald in the offensive something. And I watched 281 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: and you know, they had a short field with a 282 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: throw the rookie tied end. It's Blaine Gabbert. Okay, So 283 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: that they're the guys on defense, don't get me wrong, 284 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: are very very talented. I see this defense being able 285 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: to dictate the temple the and that gets me. It 286 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: is in Tennessee either, by the way, I watched Mariota 287 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: throw four interceptions and I was largely unimpressed. I have 288 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: been with him. He had a pretty good third quarter here, 289 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: but it's it's Seattle's and I watched them on Monday 290 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: Night against Atlanta this week, and they're down seven, and 291 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: their defense isn't whole, and they don't really have a 292 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: strong running game now, and yet the Russell Wilson factor 293 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: comes into play and he's running around and as he's 294 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: running and spinning and twisting and turning, he seems to 295 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: see it's like his head is on a gyroscope. The 296 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: body turns, the head never stops looking to the field, 297 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: and he makes throws. He gave him a chance with 298 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: seven seconds left to tie the game. Now they didn't. 299 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: Fifty two yard field goal fell short. That's the one 300 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: where I wonder if he doesn't have just something that 301 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: this team hasn't seen. And maybe he doesn't. And we're 302 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: way ahead of ourselves. I know, you got about a 303 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: minute left here, get a couple of wins, go into 304 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: that still feeling good about yourself. What an epic storyline 305 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be, because this is the defense that thinks 306 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Seattle. Now, this Jaguars defense and that 307 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: game is this is gonna be this team's chance. Uh 308 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: goodness knows. Let it go in healthy and you talk 309 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: about a fever, you talk about playing with crazy eyes, 310 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: that's what this Jaguars defense will be that day before 311 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: we sign off. What will you eat too much of 312 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: on Thursday? Uh? Whatever is in front of me, so 313 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: you'll just be a Gluttonya not beats. I'm not a 314 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: big beat guy.

No, there's beats in there, 316 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: beats on the beats. Is that an Italian thing? Or 317 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: it's not an Italian thing? It beats on Thanksgiving? I 318 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: never have because I just laugh at the beats. But cranberries, Yeah, 319 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't feel like that's what you're saying. 320 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't mind cranberries. Just beat and it comes out 321 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: of a can, just sitting there all you know, jiggling cranberries. 322 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: You're in allion guy, you live it. You like red stuff. 323 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: What what will you eat on Thanksgiving that no one 324 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: else will eat?
