00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: right now. Happy Thursday. Good morning, Jaguars Drive Time Thursday Morning,

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Fields Auto Group. As we

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 1: get ready shifting our focus to the Cincinnati being well

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: almost all someway we got, we got a little epitaph

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: to put on this whole thing. Yeah, yesterday was absolutely

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: the Jalen Ramsay show this week or today, it's about

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: I would hope it would be less than that, to

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: be honest with you looking at this rundown. Okay, we'll

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: follow it since you're in control. Yeah, yesterday was a

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: crazy day to say the least. Yeah, you know, got away. Uh,

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: just some perspective. I don't And I've obviously been here

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: for the whole time. The Jaggers have never traded a

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: player in his prime away like this, um, And I'm

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that they shouldn't have or couldn't have

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: at any point in time. It just at the end

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: of the evening to reflect on it, and this morning

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: with my workout buddies to talk about it. Um, there's

22
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: a risk associated with it. There was a risk associated

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: and not doing it. But the risk associated was you

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: might never see a defensive back um. And I think

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: if he had played here a long time, we talked

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: about him as being one of the the three or

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: four best ever Jaguars, Um, you might not see the

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: combination of size, speed, talent, competitiveness, all of that. Um,

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: you might not never see it again, you know. I

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: mean it's he's a rare player. He's a pain in

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: the butt um and we all know that. And he's

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: gone now, but he beyond special on the field. Yeah,

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: And it was interesting. Klais Campbell spoke in the locker

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: room yesterday and he was saying the team went run

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: through something similar last year when they trade away Dante

36
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Feller Jr. But we were all saying, and we were

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: asking Calais after this is nowhere? No, no, now Look.

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: I always called Dante a lion. I mean you saw

39
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: him out there, he was. He was a rare athlete too,

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: obviously a bigger kind of athlete. And I think what

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: you're talking about is that with Jalen, we said you

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: might not ever see that kind of athlete again. You

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: have two more first round picks, that's great, and a fourth,

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: and you don't know what that's going to return. Um,

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: you have to make good decisions with that now, and

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: that's obviously the process they'll go about. Um, we could

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: talk about this one forever. It's just it was a

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: monumental moment for the Jaguars and it feels better today

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: in large part. And I know we got to get

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: into the big things because when Dion Sanders yesterday went

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: on NFL Network and said he didn't think this was

52
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: going to be a long term deal, I almost spit

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: the coffee that I was drinking out my nose. He

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: hadn't even been there a day yet and already had

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: planted the seeds for his next move, because don't we

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: all see this, He's gonna do adon did. He's gonna

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: wear out his welcome here there in Atlanta, Seattle, Minnesota,

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: wherever else he goes play. He'll play for at least

59
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: four teams and we'll go in No one's ring of

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: honor because he won't be anywhere long enough. Um, maybe

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: never win a championship, maybe never be able to establish

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame credentials, but what he will do is

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: make a boatload of money and maybe that's enough for him.

64
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into big things and surprise. Big

65
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: thing one is Jalen Ramsey. Big thing one is someone

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: else's problem. The Dalen Ramsey story is now complete here

67
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. You're gonna hear a lot about focusing in

68
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: the locker room today and throughout the week. Gardner Mine says,

69
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: there's fifty two other guys who are focusing on winning

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: right now. Now. We wish him well man as part

71
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: as part of the deal, um, but you know, we

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: got fifty three dudes in the locker room that we

73
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: feel comfortable going to win with. So that's all we're

74
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: really concerned with now. Big thing, too is the row.

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have played well, especially in the second half

76
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: in Carolina, in Houston, in Denver. Can they do again

77
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: this week? And then say not? Very good team? Oh

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: and six frankly bad. I don't want to say it, no, no, no,

79
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I'll say it. They're a bad football team right now.

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: They've got talent, but the talent is injured. So can

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: you do it again on the road this week. And

82
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: big thing three is m n P most necessary player

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville right now. Brian and I both agree that

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: is Leonard for net especially this week against a very

85
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: poor run defense against the Bengals. All Right, I don't

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: want to get out of this segment without talking about that.

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: That that deserves a lot of attention. But we gotta

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: go back and let's finish the whole, the whole Jalen

89
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: Randy thing. Because we we we laughed a little bit,

90
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, we listened to his news conference. And here's

91
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the thing that strikes me. Have I told you have

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: we discussed the parable of the frog and the scorpion? Okay,

93
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: so I just want to get it real quick. And

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: if you haven't heard this one, um, there was a

95
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: frog who was standing on the edge of a stream

96
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: and a scorpion came to him and said, I can't swim.

97
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Can you put me on your back and take me

98
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: across the river? And the frog said, no, I won't

99
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: do that. You'll sting me and I'll dry out. And

100
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: the scorpion said, why would I do that? Because if

101
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: I sting you and you drown, then we both die.

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Because I can't swim, And the frog thought about it

103
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: and said, well, okay, you're right, So he let him

104
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: get on his back and they started swimming, and halfway

105
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: across the river, scorpion stung in. The frog said why

106
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: did you do that? Now we're both gonna die, and

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: the scorpion said, I'm a scorpion. It's what I do, right.

108
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: The reason I tell you that story is is that's

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: what this is. This is who Jalen Ramsey. Did you

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: think of this? Well, this is it's a fable, it's

111
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: it's something that people have heard. I didn't just make

112
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: it up. The point in telling you this is is

113
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: that this is who Jalen Ramsey is. And it came

114
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: to me as I was watching the Dion Sanders interview

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: and then reading this story afterwards, because he hadn't even

116
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: been in in l A and already he had Dion,

117
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: who is his agent right carries his water for him, say, um,

118
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: I'm a businessman, uh he Jalen is coming to a

119
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: team that is not going to be a contended for

120
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: very long because they're kept out already. Effect Dion's words were, um,

121
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: these aren't the rams of old you mean the rams

122
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: of last year old and then the final one was

123
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: and that was the kicker to it all is but

124
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: you gotta get out of that state because California has

125
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: a thirteen point three percent local tax, and so thirteen

126
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: dollars out of every hundred that he makes are going

127
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: to the state of California. It's too expense if he

128
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: needs to go somewhere like Texas or Tennessee or Nevada. Now,

129
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: because they're gonna have a team, So start the trade

130
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: talks now, exactly before you plant the seeds. Hey, this

131
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: is only going to be about a year. And so

132
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I thought, there's the scorpion. He does what he does right,

133
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: He's gonna sting his way out of a couple of

134
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: different places over the course of his career. He's gonna

135
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: sting him for a big pay day and then he's

136
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna move on. I heard a story this morning on

137
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the radio that a local retailer had twenty five thousand

138
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: dollars in Jalen Ramsey jerseys in his inventory amongst his

139
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: stories and Jackson but sting, right, he's gonna sting. He's

140
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna sting. There's gonna be Rams jerseys and four other

141
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: France guys jerseys that are gonna be sitting on racks,

142
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, mark down and they'll be fans burning them

143
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: like I saw on social media. Right, this is what

144
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: it's what he does, and that's why it makes the

145
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: move to get him out of here the right move,

146
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: not to not to to push it and to loiter

147
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: it and to send him home and deactivate him or

148
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: put him on IR. They made the right move. They

149
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: got him out of here. They now longer no longer

150
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: see him as their problem because he's not. And I

151
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 1: just laughed. You know, I thought, if I'm a RAMS

152
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: fan right now, if I work in the RAMS front office,

153
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm less snat. I'm thinking, okay, let's start negotiating, right

154
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: and see if we know what did we just did

155
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: we because they traded him or traded for him without

156
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: having an extension in place, which means he has all

157
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: the leverage, and he used it yesterday with Dion Sanders

158
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: before he had even set foot in the RAMS facility.

159
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Stingy couch, Why did you do that? I'm a scorpion.

160
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: It's what I do. Someone else's problem. The interesting thing

161
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: to me was we'll get of this later in around

162
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: the locker room. But everyone was talking about, especially Miles Jack,

163
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: saying how they wished the Jaguars could have found a

164
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: way to keep them because as great as the draft

165
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: picks are, you know, Jalen is our teammate. He's a

166
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: proven commodity, right, But no one really mentioned Jalen was

167
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: the one who requested the trade. It made it seem

168
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: like the Jaguars were the one pushing him out the door.

169
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: Jen had the door open. Yeah, no, no, that's players

170
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: and and and they want to be friends with him still,

171
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: they want to maintain a relationship with him. I'm I'm

172
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: not sure Jalen is all that interested in that, um,

173
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: But they wanted to have the bridge to their fellow teammates,

174
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: so they left it open. But they all understand it.

175
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: They knew that this was Jalen's doing. And as I

176
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: said to you yesterday, I think the whole thing was

177
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: contrived from the beginning of the season. They were looking

178
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: for a flash point somewhere. They found it in Houston,

179
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: and they took off with it and they got what

180
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: they wanted. Um. The players understand what it was. There's

181
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: no secret to that. And and I thought most of

182
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: them said the right thing. And then moved on because

183
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: you know you were in that locker room last week,

184
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: would guys were essentially rolling their eyes and rubbing their

185
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: temples and giving you all that stuff when you had

186
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: to talk about Yeah, it was getting to the point

187
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: where it was getting annoyed. There will be any more

188
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: Jalen questions for them, and and and we're we're putting

189
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: it to bed today with the show, and hopefully we

190
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: don't talk about it, although we might talk about a

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: little tomorrow with my pick one and pick a game.

192
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: We might. It might be Atlanta, the rams you have,

193
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: we might. Let's go to big thing three. I think

194
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: it's the most important component this weekend. Leonard for averaging

195
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: five point one yards per carry, has been the center

196
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: of the game plan lately, especially the SpeI. Yeah, and

197
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: he's he's third in the NFL in rushing yards and

198
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: he's only about forty behind McCaffrey. Now here's the thing,

199
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: the Falcon, not the Falcons. The Bengals allowed two and

200
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: sixty two rushing yards to the Cardinals two weeks ago.

201
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: Last week they gave up to sixty nine. If you

202
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: haven't noticed, that's a downward trend on the old charge uh.

203
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: The quarterback Lamar Jackson ran for one fifty two. So

204
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: the way I see it, Leonards, you have a huge day.

205
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: The def ends for the Bengals has not stopped the run.

206
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: They're starting corners around Carlos Dunlap, who's their best defensive well,

207
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: second best defensive lineman. Gino Atkins is the best um.

208
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: But Carlos Dunlap is a force off the edge, has

209
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: a knee, didn't play last week. He's not a This

210
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: is not a healthy football team and they haven't won

211
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: a game yet. I don't know what Flip is gonna do,

212
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: but I don't think you have to be you know,

213
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: Karnak the Magnificent to understand that what he's going to

214
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: do is slam the ball and set up play action.

215
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: And Leonard should have a massive day. A jokingly said

216
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: career day because that would be two six yards in Denver.

217
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: He could have it easily. He defense. He's running so hard,

218
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: he's running so smart. For the first time in recent weeks,

219
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: I have seen vision on the field from him. Whereas

220
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: there were four or five games I could go back

221
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: and point to in the last sixteen games he's played

222
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: where he missed open holes where he took wrong angles.

223
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: He just is playing at a completely different level than

224
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: we've seen in his proker rear, and that boats really

225
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: well for this franchise. Yeah. I was asked actually yesterday

226
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: on a radio call and they were asking what changed

227
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: about him? You know, can you go back to a

228
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: moment in time or a game that changed, And I,

229
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: honestly I said, I think the whole offseason changed. I mean,

230
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: we talked about it so much in training camp, through

231
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: the wyoming and the training, but I don't think it

232
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: was one specific player game where he said all right,

233
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play well again. I'm gonna get back to it.

234
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: Jersey Rocky four. Yes you did. Okay, I'm short slightly

235
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: surprised that you have. I've seen all the Rockies. So

236
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: you know he goes to uh, he goes to Siberia

237
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: to train, right, Well, it's the same thing him. He

238
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: had to go get his mind right. His body was

239
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: going to get right regardless, but he had to go

240
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: get his mind right. And you talk to him about

241
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: this when you were with him in New Orleans in June.

242
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. We were getting ready to go to

243
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh for that playoff game in and he said, I'm

244
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: from New Orleans. I don't like the cold. And then

245
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: that's where he goes. If you've never been to Wyoming, Laramie,

246
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Wyoming in January and February, the wind blows at about

247
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: forty miles the higher month. It's cold, it's windy, it's snowy.

248
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: And that's where Leonard is not because he had to

249
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: get his body right. He was going to do that regardless.

250
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: He had to go, for lack of a better term,

251
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: punish himself right, self flagellation, hitting himself on the back, essentially,

252
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, getting himself ready mentally for a punishing season.

253
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: He had lost his guaranteed money. He had done it

254
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: to himself. He needed to cure what ailed him. There

255
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: is nothing like claring me Wyoming to cure what ails

256
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: a boy from New Orleans. Um that to me said, Okay,

257
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna come in ready to go. And while

258
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: he has had a couple of big games and a

259
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: couple of games where the numbers didn't say that was

260
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: a really big game, the effort, the way he dug

261
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: out extra yards, the way he punished defenders said he's

262
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: ready to go. And I think now I don't want

263
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: to say this is his team, but it is because

264
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: you don't have your quarterback yet. I mean, I know

265
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: everyone was on the Min's Humania thing and it's fun

266
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: and he may be the long term solution, but the

267
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: money says that this is Nick Fole team, but he's

268
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: not on the field right um, So to me, this

269
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: is the Leondards team. And on the defensive side, is

270
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: it Myles team? Yet? I don't think it is. Is

271
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: it Calais team? Maybe? You know, but it's hard from

272
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: a defensive end spot to to be the you know,

273
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: to have it be your team. I think it's Leonards

274
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: team and it goes as far as he goes in

275
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Right now, he looks like a train that's just picking

276
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: up speed and I wouldn't want to be in front

277
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: him this week. No, And I you mentioned him being

278
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: especially the voice of the offense and with Minshew, I

279
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: think it's difficult for him to say it's his team

280
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: because we don't know what's going to happen in a

281
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: few weeks. And maybe that does change if we don't

282
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: know if it's going to happen, But if he does

283
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: become the solution this season, maybe that does change his attitude.

284
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: But I feel like for Minshew right now, I'm not

285
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: going to say anything. Let's go offense, right, I have

286
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: credibility right now now. Yet I mean he's his effort

287
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: and his playmaking ability. We've seen it on the sidelines,

288
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: saw in Denver in particular, the way that the team

289
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: lined up behind him. Here's the remarkable thing about for

290
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: net is that a year ago we it was just

291
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: a hamstring. We hadn't seen some of the other stuff yet.

292
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: But it didn't seem plausible. It didn't seem like he

293
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: could ever be the guy. Do you know, just because

294
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: there was so much extraneous stuff going on, how could

295
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: you trust that it really is? And I think when

296
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: the when the season is done, and I think he's

297
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: going to end up with a big number this year,

298
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: and if this team gets if this team gets into

299
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: and listen to what I'm saying here, because I think

300
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: this is the important part for this team this year.

301
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: If I would have told you that Nick Foles was

302
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: going to be lost on the first Sunday of the

303
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: season and that Jalen Ramsey would play three games, you'd say,

304
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: what chance did they have? Right? These are there two

305
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: guys they have a chance to win the next two

306
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: and get into the playoff race. I say listen, because

307
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking about them in November and December being in

308
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: a position where we say, hey, if the Jaguars win

309
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: this week and the Colts lose and the Raiders lose,

310
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: you're starting to play the number game. That's where you

311
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: want to be. Would it be great to just charge

312
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: ahead and claim the division in early November? You absolutely

313
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: is that gonna happen. No, But if they win the

314
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: next two, they put themselves in a position where they

315
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: can be in contention. And I think that the story

316
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: after this season, if they do that, it's going to

317
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: be what an amazing transformation, right the Moth to the

318
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Butterfly for Leonard, for net Um, the story that you

319
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: did with him that you helped put together with the documentary,

320
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: which was very good. If you haven't seen it, it's

321
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Um I think the one after could be

322
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: even better. Yeah. I remember the Numbers game in two

323
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen. It was fun. We sat here every Friday

324
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: and we said this team wins, if this team loses.

325
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: There was there was none of that last what I've said,

326
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: the dirty little secret about the NFL is that it's

327
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: not about winning championships. That's what happens when you do

328
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: the other things right. It's about consistently filling your building,

329
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: selling your tickets, in your beer and your hot dogs.

330
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: And you do that with a I know, I knew

331
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: you would go for that one. Um. It's about that.

332
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: And so when you look at the big picture, you

333
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: want to be in a position at the at the

334
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: end of every season in thanksgiving forward to be in

335
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: meaningful games. Meaningful doesn't mean that you're winning the championship.

336
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: Meaningful means that you're putting yourself in a position to

337
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs so that people are talking about

338
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: you and buying your tickets so they come to see

339
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: you play the Bucks and the Colds late in the year,

340
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: right as opposed to stay home and watch it on TV,

341
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: or find Christmas shopping or whatever other things. Exactly, that's

342
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: the dirty little secret of the NFL. It's about the money.

343
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: I need to be relevant so that people want to

344
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: come see me play. Leonard for net is a big

345
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: reason why this team should be relevant late in the season.

346
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: All the other players nothing against it. He If you

347
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs this year, he's going to be

348
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: your m v P. Yeah, I agree. All right, let's

349

Speaker 1: Sorry feeling Ukraine somewhere? All right? Locker room, locker room,

382
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: very interesting place yesterday. I think from the short time

383
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: that I was in there yesterday, I think I got

384
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: the by above. All right, let's get this over with. Yeah,

385
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: I think there was maybe a message that the team

386
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: was told because they all had similar and Doug said

387
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: in his news conference, I'm not telling you what to say.

388
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: I'm doing what I'm saying, and that the vibe was

389
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: and what you probably should in your own words say

390
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: so that we're all on the same parage, on the

391
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: same page here. All right, Let's start with Will Richardson Jr.

392
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: Who has kind of become the spokesman of the offensive line.

393
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: God we needed one, yes, And normally I know Brandon

394
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Linder always likes to give offensive line and a hard

395
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: time when they talk to the media, but I think

396
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Will Richardson genuinely enjoys it. And we were talking about

397
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: all three phases having to play well on Sunday. Will

398
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: Richardson says it best. I mean confidence. The biggest thing

399
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: for us now is just to keep pushing in um

400
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: just you know, just as a locker room. Just stay

401
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: as one unit, you know, um um. I think these

402
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: last few games we just struggle getting all three all

403
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: three UM teams to go together, defense, offensive, special teams.

404
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: So I feel like going into this game, the biggest

405
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: key for us is just to get going, all three units,

406
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: to just get going and getting started. Yeah, Brandon Lender

407
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: walked by when he was doing this and said, oh

408
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, look at all the people talking to you. Well, yeah,

409
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: Brandon needs to just shut up and keep moving. You

410
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: can't have you cannot You must have offensive lineman who speak,

411
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: or at least one who speaks. Cam Robinson will speak,

412
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor will speak. If Andrew Norwell and Brandon Lenda

413
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: don't want to, then don't. But the other three guys

414
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: need to talk because you need to get the story

415
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: of one of the most important aspects of any game,

416
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: and it's winning up front. Um. He was talking about

417
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: all three phases again, not to knock Cincinnati, you know,

418
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: O and six. I think this would be a close

419
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: game early because that's the way the NFL goes, right.

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: They're a desperate team. They're desperate to get their first win. Um.

421
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: Although their season is essentially lost when you start ohin six,

422
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: you don't make the playoffs. They're desperate because they have

423
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: a bunch of young players that are trying to figure

424
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: out is this you know, am I gonna make this?

425
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Or they gonna bring in other players? Where am I?

426
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: But then the Jaguars will slowly pull away because they're

427
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: healthier and the roster is better. At this point in time,

428
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: so offensively, defensively, I haven't really looked at the Bengal

429
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: special teams, although Jody Camills has done a nice job

430
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: with this group this year. I would have to think

431
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: that this would be the perfect game, at the perfect

432
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: time for the Jaguars to go get all three of

433
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: those things and then slowly but surely pull away from

434
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals in the second half and had a convincing win. Yeah.

435
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: And we've been waiting for it because every single week

436
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: it's been offense, good defense not good Well you and

437
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: and and you'll go back to that. I mean, you'll

438
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: have days and the next week they get Sam Donald,

439
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: who you know will have a couple of warm ups

440
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: and he's an exciting young quarterback and he can make

441
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: life hard on you could make live hard. Yeah, absolutely,

442
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: So you have to go and find a rhythm and

443
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: use the game, uh and take what they give you

444
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: in a sense um, But this week they'll be able

445
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: to dictate what they're gonna do. All right, Let's go

446
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: to linebacker Miles Jack, who is one of Jalen's best buddies.

447
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: We all know that, but was in support of a

448
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: J boy and Trey Herne for how they handled the

449
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: past three weeks. I had a lot of confidence at

450
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: a j and then Terry. I just feel like Ry

451
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: was getting better and better each a week. He was

452
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: making plays, contestant bass and learning a lot. So we

453
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: just kind of figured Jalen eventually, maybe after the bio week,

454
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: would have after the deadline when it came back and

455
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: played for us. That was the biggest thing that I

456
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: took away is that Myles Shack was he said that

457
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: multiple times that he was convinced that after London, after

458
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: the bye, Jalen will be back playing and all this

459
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: would be hush hush. And obviously, so Miles is a

460
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: guy that I think could really benefit from Jalen leaving UM.

461
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: And I think Miles is a guy who's benefited from

462
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: Telvin Smith leaving. Miles is a phenomenal football player and

463
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: he's a great young guy. But he I thought he

464
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: kind of fell into the spell of those two guys.

465
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: They were more dominant personalities and it was easy for

466
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: him not to have to lead and just let them lead.

467
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: And neither one of those guys is a leader. And

468
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: now you're going to put Miles in a situation where

469
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: he'll have Calais in front of him leading right and

470
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: a j behind him leading. I think it will You'll

471
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: see a significant improvement on the field and in the

472
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: locker room and the way that he acts. I think

473
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a great move for Miles Jack.

474
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: I think it'd be great for the Jaguars to have

475
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: Jalen and Telvin's influence, which was not always positive out

476
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: of that room. Yeah. I think it's gonna force Smiles

477
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: Jack to grow up a little bit. Well that's yeah,

478
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, and you just cut through it.

479
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: Good for you, because if you ask anyone in the

480
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: locker room. I was asking Marcel Darias on All Access

481
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: last week, who's the funniest guy in the locker room,

482
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: it's always Miles and he is. He is hilarious, But

483
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: he's never not hilarious at the times. Is the problem.

484
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: And he never had to be because you always had

485
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: someone else that was willing to scream. And now he's

486
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: going to have to be the guy that has it

487
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: all together. He's not gonna be a lean on those

488
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: other two. Um, and I'll say it again, Talvin Smith

489
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey were not often good influences in that

490
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: locker room and now they're gone and it has a

491
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: chance to grow to a much higher character locker room,

492
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: and Miles can be a part of that. Speaking of

493
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: high character a J boy, we spoke to him as

494
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: well yesterday. He took us into the team meaning round

495
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: of course, saying stay focused. Yeah, definitely. You know he

496
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: addressed everything, you know, the offening in a room, everything

497
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: that went on. But you know, he told us that

498
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: we gotta stay focused, stay on tesh, you know, just

499
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: keep everything in front of us and just worry about

500
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: what's coming with Cincinnatis. What an awesome opportunity for a

501
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: J boy the season. He's making fifteen and a half

502
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: million dollars this year and a similar number next year

503
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: on the deal, and the Jaguars now have great motivation

504
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: for him to play well and keep him. I think

505
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: that he was absolutely out the door with that number

506
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: as long as Jalen was here. Um, they need him,

507
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: they needed to play well. He's capable of playing well.

508
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: And when your number is called, you know, if you're

509
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: the understudy to the lead in Hamilton's and the lead

510
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: gets sick, you better be able to sing, right, You

511
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: better be able to come out there and and sing

512
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: um and I know all the songs to that, by

513
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: the way, so I'm not gonna sing. I'm trying to

514
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: think of one, right, No, no, no, we would not

515
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: do that. He is now the lead, and you know

516
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: he's got to have a singing voice tuned up and

517
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: ready to sing. Alexander Hamilton's right, gonna be ready to go.

518
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: I think he is, though. I'm going to see that

519
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: in London, so I'm kind of excited. I just found

520
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: out this morning, so I wanted to well, no, but

521
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: really he's he the under study always has to be

522
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: ready to be the next man up, and he is

523
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: now going to be with the spotlight on him, and

524
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: he's capable of it. He can play these guys. Is

525
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: he going to shut him down like Jalen? Probably not,

526
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: But will he play well and and give the Jaguars

527
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: a chance to win? Absolutely. We really haven't seen many

528
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: opportunities for him to go against someone like an A. J.

529
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: Green or Julio Jones. And that was and that was

530
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: a point of contention, you know, at times in that

531
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: locker room he wanted to He came in here as

532
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: the high paid corner. He was the guy who was

533
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: rising in Houston and made a decision to come here.

534
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: He saw himself as one B. Jalen was one A.

535
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: He wasn't two. He was one B. He is now

536
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: one A and there will be no doubt about that.

537
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: There will be no discussions on the practice field between

538
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: he and Trey Herndon like they were between he and

539
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: Jylen Ramsey last year. He's number one. He's got the personality,

540
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: the character, He's got everything he needs to be one

541
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: A here and if he is, he's got a great

542
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: shot not only playing here next year, but earning an

543
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: extension and getting, you know too, three more years here.

544
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: He is that guy, that's for sure. The other guy

545
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: is Klais Campbell, who of course had a lot to

546
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: say about Jalen Ramsey, but of course was in positive

547
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: fashion as always. You know, I'm all about in the moment,

548
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, and I believe this team has what the

549
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: Texas to right, uh to do some good things, you know,

550
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: and I mean we can be special, you know. So

551
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: mo mentality is, you know, just get everybody here to

552
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: be the best I can be good, buy in and

553
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: uh continue to sacrifice and do whatever we can to

554
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: be the best we can be so we can win

555
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He seems a little subdued there, was he Yeah,

556
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean he also he spoke for I think seven minutes,

557
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: which is very long for a locker room, but it

558
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: was every single medium member that is in Jacksonville was

559
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: there at that moment for calais Um. Yeah, he spoke

560
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: a very long time, very long, odd out answers about

561
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: this situation. Was not quick reaction, and I think I

562
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: think it was a trying day for him, honestly, because

563
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: he did seem pretty tired there, and I think he's

564
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: been talking a lot about the Jalen Ramsey situation. I

565
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: think he wants to move on, but he was honest

566
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: that he's a talented player when we want him on

567
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: the team, of course, but I also think he's kind

568
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: of glad, yeah, to take that irritant out of the

569
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: equation and now they can just focus. But so we

570
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: talk all the time about Russian cover working hand in hand, right,

571
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: getting the pass rush, forcing the errant throws, having the

572
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: coverage giving extra time holding the quarterback in the pocket

573
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: so that the past rush can get there. This is

574
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: gonna go a bit out of whack now right, you're

575
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: seeing the last well, no, no, no, not something I'm

576
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: going to say, just the Russian cover. Um, we've seen

577
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: a good mix here because you had Jalen Ramsey behind

578
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: him and when he was on the field, you got

579
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: extra time to get there. So the reality of it

580
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: is now that you're going to have to get more

581
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: from your pass rush. They're gonna have to be quicker,

582
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be more aggressive, they're gonna have

583
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: to have better moves, they're gonna have to be more

584
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: spot on because you're gonna have to help Trey Herndon

585
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: on the back end. Right, these guys are gonna need

586
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more because remember now, a couple of

587
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: years ago you had a terrific secondary with Barry Church

588
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: and two Shaun Gibson and a J and Jalen and

589
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: now it's just a ju Jared Wilson's in his first

590
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: season as a starter. Ronnie Harrison has the look of

591
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: of a special talent, but he's not there yet. And

592
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: now you've got Trey Herndon, who the Jaguars really like

593
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: and they've been grooming to step into a rule. And

594
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: then you've got d J. Herndon of course, all right,

595
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: g Jay Hayden, who is um is a nice player

596
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: as well and really has played well this year. You're

597
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to have more rush. You're gonna have to

598
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: give those guys a little extra help, right, And it

599
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: looks like a totally different so instead of it's you know,

600
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: and then that's not a knock on the secondary. But

601
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: they're playing together now, they but they have six games together.

602
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna need a little bit more time. So guys

603
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: like Calais and Unique and Josh and Marcel and Taven

604
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: and Abriy have got to be points, you know, on

605
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: their game in order to help a secondary. You will

Speaker 1: tweets of the top tweets, tweets, top tweets, all right,

635
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: time for top tweets. Of course they're all about Jalen Ramsey.

636
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: What else but Twitter be talking about these days someone

637
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: else's problem. And of course the top tweets we have

638
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: to include our guy Leonard for Net because he is

639
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: the king of Twitter. But it's always in his own language.

640
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: I had to look up what some of this meant,

641
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: because he's basically saying he walked into the locker room

642
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: and he saw Jalen Ramsey's locker empty, and he was

643
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: very upset about it. But I love how he ends

644
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: up with y'all rams, sad faces. I don't understand it. Yeah,

645
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 1: I walked in the locker room. Yes, my partners locker

646
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: was cleared out today, y'all Rams. It took him thanks

647
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, I mean there, I get the sense

648
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago that there were some swipes

649
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: going back and forth between these two and brothers do that,

650
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: you know? I mean, it just happens, Uh, they'll be

651
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: friends along beyond this. Again, I go back to that

652
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: picture of those two guys getting on the plane to

653
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: go to Pittsburgh, and I remember thinking so vividly, that's

654
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: the future, the cornerstone on each side of the ball.

655
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: And things changed fast in this league. And if you

656
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: played with him and you enjoyed it. Plus having a

657
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: guy like that on the other side, having a guy

658
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: you know is the best at what he does, it

659
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: makes it easier on everyone else to play their best

660
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: and do their job. And now they've got to rely

661
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: on a young player in Trey Herndon. It's not as

662
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: easy to do. They'll help him, um, but I get

663
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: Leonard's sadness. Whatever it takes. They are both of them.

664
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: You have friends from college that you stay in touch with.

665
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: You don't get to see him as much as you

666
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: once did. It was hard to leave college, leave the

667
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: sorority house behind, right, same thing. It's a big fraternity

668
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: in there. Yes, it is all right. So national media

669
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: perspective of the Jalen Ramsy trade, there's two sides of it,

670
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: and it is like a hundred zero it's yes, absolutely,

671
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: they got the cornerback in the league. Or oh my gosh,

672
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: did the Rams overpaid for this? Let's see it. Skip

673
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: Bayliss is on the side I just talked about the

674
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Rams just paid way too much for Jalen Ramsey, another

675
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: talented me guy who will not cure all that ails

676
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: them hub running back O line and over inflated expectations

677
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: which just screw because of him. He spot on, I

678
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: mean he is spot on. Yesterday after I already mentioned

679
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders out in front of Jalen talking about how

680
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to be there very long, which was

681
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: one major red flag. The other is how much better

682
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: does Jalen Ramsey make? Um Aaron Donald? Aaron Donald, he doesn't.

683
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: He's already the best player in the league right. The

684
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: problem that they have, in talking to Sam Farmer yesterday

685
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: was they don't have a Dominican sue any longer, and

686
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: so Aaron Donald, who is not a run stuffer per se,

687
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: but a penetrator and a guy who disrupts things, he's

688
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: now got to spend more time worrying about helping the

689
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: young guy next to him. He doesn't help their running game,

690
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: which is hampered right now with Todd Gurley's injury. Um

691
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: their quarterback is not playing well, you know. In fact,

692
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: it's funny how you look at these guys this year.

693
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: In a way, there are a lot like last year's Jaguars.

694
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: Right when Leonard Fournette got hurt, all of a sudden,

695
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles was no longer the Blake Bortles from He

696
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: didn't have the running game to carry him. Any injuries

697
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: on the offensive line and they've got their's now in

698
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: l A are magnified and makes that quarterback Jared Goff's

699
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: job that much more difficult. The injury to Todd Gurley

700
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: has really crippled the offense, and in doing that, it's

701
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: put more pressure on the defense. And the defense had

702
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters and the keep to leave guys. They traded

703
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: for former role pro to leave goes on I R

704
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: and Peters goes to Baltimore and apparently he was burned

705
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: long passed after long passed after long pass in losses

706
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: to Seattle and Tampa, and they just didn't feel like

707
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: they could live with it. Well that that won't be

708
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: the problem with Jalen on the field, although he'll get

709
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: burned for four to yards here and there, it happens

710
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: um but he won't make the same mistake twice. But

711
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't, to me make them a better team. And

712
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: here's where it might make them worse. They now do

713
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: not have cap room at all, and they don't have depth,

714
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: and they don't have young players because they don't have

715
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: draft picks. And it's the and this is the point.

716
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: You don't build through free agency. We've seen that here.

717
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: Sam Farmers said that's their approach right now. Okay, but

718
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: they're going to change it because when you build through

719
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: free agency, you have many more misrs. It's kind of

720
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: like if you're gonna hit three thirty right in baseball,

721
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna strike out more than six times

722
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: out of every ten um. That's not a great winning percentage.

723
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: In free agency, it's not a winning percentage um. And

724
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: so you go back to the draft and they don't

725
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: have picks. First round picks are talented players who played

726
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: a fixed cost for you. They don't have them. They

727
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: haven't had them. They're in trouble when these guys either

728
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: they can't afford them any longer, or they get hurt,

729
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: or they can't play any longer, because you don't have

730
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: those first round picks to bring in after them. It

731
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: is a really risky move for less Nie. They are

732
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: swinging for the fences, and in doing so, I'm not

733
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: sure they've got what it takes to win. If the

734
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: running back and the quarterback are the problem. Yeah, they're

735
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: saying now time, and the problem with win now times

736
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: a hundred is you haven't solved your real issues. Alright,

737
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: we haven't even talked about Shod Khan's comments yesterday, which

738
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: were great, by the way, at the NFL league meetings

739
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: in Fort Lauderdale. Did you understand them? I did? Well,

740
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: then explain them. Okay, Well, first we have to bring

741
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: up Mr John Oser, who made it to the show today.

742
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 1: How nice of him, he tweets out. Credit all goes

743
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: to our players for their professional approach through this situation.

744
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: It did not go unnoticed. Now it's time to turn

745
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: the attention again to what's most important, the Jackson Mill Jacks. Well,

746
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: I got this. I thought we were talking about the

747
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: one from Jeremy Fowler from ESPN where it was you

748
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: know the rules, you gotta call the Jags so I

749
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: don't get locked out of my own stadium. I didn't

750
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: quite understand that had a theory on it, but I

751
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: didn't quite no, No, I didn't get okay, well, no,

752
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: I get no. Look and and he's right. You didn't

753
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: hear a lot of griping. And they didn't let it

754
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: become a distraction. The Jaguars did handle this situation about

755
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: as good as you possibly could. Um. They were talking

756
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: a lot in the media, and that's probably why Dave

757
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: and Tom didn't come out and say anything beforehand, because

758
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: that would possibly just inflame the situation, lessen the leverage

759
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: that they had, create a more difficult situation for everyone involved. Um.

760
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear from them now. I'd like to

761
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: know more about how it happened. Um, But they've said

762
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: all they're gonna say, and that's the way they do business.

763
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's fine. Um, that works for them. This situation.

764
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: The Jaguars never let it become a circus. Jalen made

765
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: a circus of it, but they never let it become

766
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: a circus. Despite the tickets that we had in here

767
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: yesterday from John. They never let this. They never let

768
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: this thing get out of control. They were always measured

769
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: in their response, and they waited, and they would have

770
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: kept waiting had had the Rams not come with the

771
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: deal and they did, and they came out of it

772
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: with two ones and a four. And after reading the

773
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: comments of Dion Sanders, which had to come from Jalen,

774
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have said it if Jalen hadn't said, Hey,

775
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: here's what I'm thinking, right, because Dean Sanders carries Jalen

776
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: Ramsey's water. So um, they had to be smiling even bigger.

777
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: We got rid of that problem. We have more salary

778
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: cat flexibility to keep yunique and got way if that's

779
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: what we want to do, and I'm hearing they want

780
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: to do that. Um, and we have draft picks that

781
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: give us a chance to really launch ourselves into the future.

782
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: So smiles all around. As Sean conn also said in

783
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: his comments, the Jackson and Jaguars are doing just fine today,

784
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: thank you for asking, and they could do in the

785
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: next two weeks if they can come up with a

786
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: couple of winds and head to London. Four and four

787
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: fine will be an understatement for how they are absolutely

788
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: all right when we come back. Bengals team reporter Marissa

Speaker 1: Auto Group as we welcome in Bengals team reporter Marissa

818
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: concept Pelly. Thank you for waking up early for us,

819
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for the late notice, and thanks for joining

820
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: us absolutely. Thank you guys so much for having me.

821
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: Of course, so tell us what is going on with

822
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Well, I'm sure, as most people are aware,

823
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit of a rough start for

824
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: the team this season, beginning to your own six and

825
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: just you know, having some struggles on offense, especially in

826
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: the first tackle of games, and you know, really being

827
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: uh quite banged up and feeling the injury bug pretty

828
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: early on the season. If there's one injury that has

829
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: hamstrung this football team, which one is it? I mean,

830
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: when you lose a guy like Drake Kirkpatrick, and then

831
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: you lose William Jackson that that's that'll do it to

832
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: the defense? Is it a j Green and his explosive

833
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: potential that that has been lacking, or offensive line? If

834
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: you have to pick one guy, they kind of pulled

835
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: the rug out from underneath the start of this season

836
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: for the Bengals, which one would it be? You know,

837
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to early on over in

838
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: the summer when they lost first round draft pick left

839
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: tackle Jonah Williams, But basically the season, it's yet to

840
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: be seen if he'll be he'll be able to return

841
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: at all at some point in December. But when you

842
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: lose someone that you already have um struggles on the

843
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: offensive line and bringing in different pieces this year's when

844
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: you lose a first round, eleventh overall talent like a

845
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: Joonah Williams, already you're hamstrung a little bit at offensive line,

846
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: and then when you're next string Corty Glenn goes back

847
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: to in the left tackle and now he's been out

848
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: for the first six games of the season, so you're

849
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: already on your third string left tackle. I think that

850
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: has hands found the position that has really hurt the

851
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: Bengals this season. Now, good news for the team is

852
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: Courty Glenn has been cleared from concussion protocol and he

853
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: did return to practice yesterday. Yet to be seen though,

854
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: if we will see him on Sunday. If that's not

855
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: the case, if he doesn't plan on Sunday, lay down

856
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: to that third string of fourth string left tackle again. So,

857
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, your first year head coach, said the other

858
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: day that there weren't many teams that he thought we're

859
00:42:55,360 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 1: fighting harder than his team. Obviously, you see that front

860
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: and center every day on the practice field. Who is

861
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: it that's leading that charge? Which is it Andy Dalton

862
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: on the offensive side? Why is this team fighting more

863
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: than most other teams in Zach Taylor's estimation, I would

864
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: say it's because the players completely have bought into Zach

865
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: and his system. And it's really more than just one guy.

866
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: It's all of those veteran guys you mentioned Andy Dalton.

867
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: You see Geno Atkins leading by example, even though he

868
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: can be quieter at times. Uh. I think Sean Williams

869
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: has done a fantastic job of being and standing up

870
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: and being one of those leaders. Even a Giovanni Bernard,

871
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: who isn't a starting running back, but you know he

872
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: has that captain's patch on for a reason. So all

873
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: these veteran guys have bought into Zach and the culture

874
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: and the change in culture that he wanted to bring

875
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: in to the Bengals this season, and it's in the show.

876
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: These guys aren't giving up. They've been in a handful

877
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: of close games this season and just you know, kind

878
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: of waiting for um, you know, the tides to kind

879
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: of turn in their favor when it comes to two

880
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: calls and plays going a different way. What's going on

881
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: with A J. Green and his injury. I know we

882
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: were all looking forward to the Jalen Ramsey A J.

883
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: Green matchup that now is no longer happening on both

884
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: sides of what's going on with his injury. That's true,

885
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: we could get that next week though we know to sure, yes,

886
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: but A J has been progressing. Um. He has returned

887
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: in a limited capacity to practice over the past two weeks.

888
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: Was held out of practice yesterday and was supposed to

889
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: run route Sunday pregame in Baltimore. He did not. So, UM,

890
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: we haven't received official word if there's been any type

891
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: of setback. Zach just keeps. You know, he's been going

892
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: the course and has been progressing each week. So at

893
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: this point in time, we do not know when he

894
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: will return. We were hoping on our target that it

895
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: will be some point within the next um week and

896
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: then we have the bye after playing the Rams next week,

897
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: so it could even potentially be after the bye week

898
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: in week ten that he would return. First. When you're

899
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: looking for your first win, especially in October, it's so

900
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: easy just to to focus on and what isn't going right?

901
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: But tell our viewers what is going right? What what

902
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: can the Bengals hang their hat on that gives them

903
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: a chance weekend and week out. You know, I have

904
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: to say I'm gonna pinpoint two things. One of actually

905
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: being our defense. I know the run. The run defense

906
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: has been a struggle point for this team this season.

907
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: But when you look overall, especially in our secondary, Drake

908
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: Kirkpatrick was having a fantastic season until he went out

909
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: with injury last week. And it's unfortunate people. He's already

910
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: been ruled out for Sunday, along with our other starting

911
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: cornerbacks William Jackson's So the secondary, uh, it's gonna be

912
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: a bit a bit of hindered um this weekend. But

913
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, outside of that, Seawan Williams and Jesse Bates

914
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: and the stafety positions to have been having a nice season.

915
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: So I would say our secondary on the defensive side

916
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: has been a bit of a bright spot. And even

917
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: when you look at our receivers, it's tough when you

918
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: lose a guy as talented as a J. Green and

919
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: then John Ross, who had a nice couple of games

920
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: to start the season, he goes out with an injury.

921
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: You of Tyler Boyd and then second year receiver On

922
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: Tape stepping up and on Tape seems to make every

923
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: contested catch that comes his way. Must have some kind

924
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: of extra sticky blue or something on those hands of

925
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: his because he doesn't have very many jobs. He's making

926
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of catches here. So Tyler Boyd and audentate

927
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: on the receiving end, Tyler Boyd is on pace to

928
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: have the most receptions in team history um testing t

929
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: J Houshmanza if he keeps up the past that he's

930
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: at right now. So him and on Tage is you know,

931
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 1: stepping in for the absence of a j and John Ross.

932
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: So when a J does return, it'll be a nice

933
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: welcome signed to be a receiving corps there there's always

934
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: positives no matter what you get the game day, and

935
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL, anyone can win. Yep, that's what makes

936
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: it absolutely well. Thanks so much Merissa for your time.

937
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: We appreciate it, and we will see you on Sunday

938
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati, Yes, thank you both. Looking forward to seeing

939
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: you guys Sunday. All right, Sea, thank you so much.

940
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: And the Jaggards know it too. I mean they understand

941
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: that this Bengals team is decimated when you lose your

942
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: starting corners. Yeah, right, that's that is a and and

943
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: and we mentioned Carlos Dunlab and the injuries they've had

944
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. The right guard John Miller is injured.

945
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: Now they're having to move guys around h A. J.

946
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: Green not playing. I mean, imagine going into a game

947
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: and not having d Jr. Right and what that would

948
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: mean to Gardner minshew. Um, they understand the spite all

949
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: of that. If they don't go up there dialed in,

950
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: tuned up, however you want to term it, ready to go,

951
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: then get beat. If they go in there, no matter what,

952
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be close for a time. If they

953
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: play their best football, they should pull away in the

954
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: second half, absolutely all right, And that is our show,

955
