WEBVTT - Ep. 25: What Opportunities Does London Provide? | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.360 Jaguars are getting ready to head to London for two games. 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:06.120 You guys have been to most of them, if not 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:08.720 all of them. Which ones are your most memorable moments 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:09.160 in London? 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:11.559 Who you want to start me? I'll go with Buffalo. 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.440 Jag scored two defensive touchdowns in the span of about 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:17.360 thirty seconds of game time and Alan Hurds made an 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.280 amazing play on the pylon at the end to win 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:19.840 the ball game. 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.160 To win over Buffalo at Wembley was awesome. 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:22.800 There's a few. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.480 I'll go with the Ravens twenty seventeen. They blew them out. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:28.840 Ravens weren't quite ready for the trip. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.560 It didn't seem like but it's that year, Brian was 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:38.159 when I knew the Jaguars were good. 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.040 Welcome to JAG's am here on Wednesday, September twenty sevenths 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.800 were presented by Jet Homeloans today here in the Hyundai 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.640 studios and things are looking bright. We're heading to London soon, 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.200 so I just wanted to check in and hedys ten 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.720 games it's going to be they've played in London, which yeah, 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.560 feels like it was like in my mind, I'm like, 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.399 oh yeah, they just started doing that, but clearly not 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:09.920 many many years ago now. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.440 And I wrote this for a quick thought. You know, 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.520 people were nervous about what London meant for Jacksonville. But 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.960 you know, a decade later now with negotiations started on 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.920 a new stadium here. I mean, it's clear that London 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.160 has been what John and Mark said it would be, 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.479 which is an accouterment to a small market. More than that, though, John, 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.040 you look at what the league is doing. You know, 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.720 they're playing multiple games in multiple countries every year. They're 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.760 talking about expanding to Spain and Brazil. The Jaguars were 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.399 a bit ahead of the curve. Now everybody wants to 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.360 play games outside of the country and expand their marketing base. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.440 It's been good for the Jaguars. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.680 And everybody sort of wants a sister city if you sure, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.120 every team sort of wants, and I think they gave 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.240 out last off season. Two off seasons ago they sort 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.360 of assigned some teams some territories. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.400 Over there, twenty one teams with marketing. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:02.040 Rights, so shad From early on, Mark wanted London as 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.559 sort of their auxiliary and market, if you will. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.400 They were ahead of the curve, as you said, you. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.200 Know, they're marketing in Africa. Now in Ghana, I believe 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.000 someone's got Nigeria. They're in Switzerland. I mean, they are 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.880 expanding rapidly their footprint. I just got done reading a 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.080 book called The Club, which is about the Premier League. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.400 And it's interesting because the Premier League modeled the NFL stadiums, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.440 and now the NFL is modeling the Premier League's global reach. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.680 It's so cool to see football actually expanding. I know 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.440 it's huge in America, but internationally hasn't always been that way. 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:31.919 So now to see it getting a little bit of 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.400 a foothold. I remember that Mexico City game was really cool, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.120 and it's just nice to see it growing. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.160 And the Jaguars have a big staff in London and 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.239 they do a lot of work on the ground in London, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.239 and so it's become a valuable part of the Jaguars 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:43.919 as a franchise. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.239 Jaguars need that Trinidad Tobago mark. 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:48.359 That would be the worst trip. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.160 I would certainly it wouldn't suck to have to go 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.520 to Rio j Jennio for a gag. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.000 I was going to say, that's the new territory they 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.919 need for sure. All right, let's go over some of 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.480 our big things this week, because there are a few 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.639 of them. The truth is the first one. We talked 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.280 about this all on Monday. We rehashed it wasn't to 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.320 look it didn't. They didn't play well against the Texans. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.200 They haven't looked good in a couple of weeks and 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.040 they needed to hear it. Luke Fordner said Doug Peterson 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.799 was not shying away from it when he talked to 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:12.360 them about it. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.000 Coach Peterson not a very good one, you know. He 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.120 came in and he was honest and told to say, 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.520 we're not where we want to be, and we have 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.280 a long way to go, and collectively, we're gonna have 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.840 to work, you know, every single day, every single week 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.280 to get to that point. 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.160 Brian, I didn't imagine Doug was going to mince words 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.280 with them, but it's nice to hear that he actually 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.200 went in there and kind of helped court a little bit. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:41.720 Because he's a player's coach. He's a nice guy. But 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:42.840 when you need to hear it, you got. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:43.320 To hear it well. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.800 And I thought he started that the week before when 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.800 he told the media, hey, we didn't practice very well 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.560 last week, and then it became the narrative leading up 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.480 to the game against the Texans, and the players in 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.960 the locker room had to answer questions about why didn't 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:55.800 you practice well? 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.800 And are you going to practice well this week? 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.520 So for him to go in on Monday is just 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.880 consistent and see on his part and say, look, we 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.920 didn't play well again, and I'm going to tell the 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.880 media we didn't play well again and why. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.880 So you all have to understand. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.520 It and be able to answer the questions, both to 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.160 each other and to the guys who are going to 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.200 come in here with microphones. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.280 Yeah, it does a players coach, but you've never gotten 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.920 a feeling from players that he coddles him. He knows 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.240 to tell him what they want to hear. Sometimes you 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.160 need a foot in your ear end. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.560 Yeah, and hopefully that's exactly what they need this week. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.040 Now. The noise is our. 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.080 Second big thing because there were high expectations for this team. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.320 We've been talking about it for months. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.280 Calvin Ridley. Of course, the offense, we expected a lot 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.560 out of everybody. Andra Cisco said the team is now 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.560 doing their best. Whether they bought into that or not. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.560 To put that out of mind, I. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.960 Think that's something that happens naturally. I mean ESPN's on 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.400 all day twenty four to seven. You'll see yourself on 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.040 TV at random moments. I for myself, I don't think 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.800 it does. It affects me too much. Everybody handled it differently, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.320 and I think anybody who I can't say I've been 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.120 walking around the locker room and see a guy get 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.280 big headed over it or anything like that, because it's 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.040 part of the of the game. I mean, if you've 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.960 made it to the NFL, you've had a ton of 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.880 spot light already, so being able to handle the expectations 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.680 it is a little bit different being in the NFL. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.800 But we've had a lot of guys that've had a 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:10.800 ton of stuff in the week. 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.760 John I wasn't around the team feeling like they were 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.760 necessarily overly cocky and thought they should be given these games. 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.400 But obviously human reaction. You listen to some of the hype, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.080 but I think all of that has gone. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.080 Now, yeah it should be. I'm not big on the noise. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.719 I hear it, but I try to look at what's 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.279 really going on, and the reality is they weren't very 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.440 good on Sunday. I think they were okay, except offense 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.159 against the Chiefs. This isn't noise, but the reality is, 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.000 all of a sudden, Sunday is really big because you're 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.320 one and two. You haven't played well. If you have 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.880 another stinker, you've all of a sudden dug yourself a 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.480 hole that takes a while to get out of. It's 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.040 hard to win every week in this league. You're one 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.560 in three. Now, if you win three and lose one, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.400 you're still five. You know, you're still crawling out of 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.440 that hole. Week four is always big for those one 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.640 and two teams because you feel out of it if 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.640 you drop so noise aside and I can say the 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.919 team's bad, but if they play bad Sunday, they're a 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.360 bad team. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.440 Right now, Hey, look, the noise is double sided, right 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.320 The noise is the expectations that obvious. Leandre talked about. 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.000 The noise this week is, Hey, they're not a good 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.080 football team. They're not playing very well. The offensive line 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.560 isn't very good, or the defensive pass rush isn't very good. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.359 I mean, whatever that noise may be, they really have 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.800 to lock out. I mean, if John and I and 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.640 you can sit here and talk about what one in 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.040 three might mean, they've figured it out. They just need 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.120 to dial in and focus on the message from Doug 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.720 and the work that they can do, because the challenge 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.640 of the Falcons is significant, no matter what the outside 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.280 noise says. You know, the matchup problems that they create. 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.040 They got to be solely focused on that and ky 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.159 another thing. You know, Gus Bradley didn't have the greatest 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.040 record when he was the head coach here, that is 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.000 no secret, but he did have a good I thought 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.640 model of what he wanted players to do, and that 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.200 was to come in here and focus on being the 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.680 best player they could be, not to worry about the 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.640 guy next to them or the guy across from them, 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.480 but just do what they do because if they were 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.880 completely confident and comfortable in doing what they do, the 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:12.960 anxiety would go away. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:13.560 On Sunday. 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.480 I would love to see that be the mindset for 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.080 this football team is just focus on doing my job 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.600 and doing my job to the best of my ability 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.240 and not worrying about what the guy next to me 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.760 or the guy across me is doing, and that might 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.360 alleviate some of the anxiety. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.440 It leads us into our final big thing, which is 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.760 going to be the work this week. Doug Peterson was 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.800 very candid when he said he didn't feel the team 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.600 practice very well in Chiefs. Week saw a bad outcome there, 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.000 although it was mostly the offense that struggled. Then last 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.120 week everybody struggled even though they seemingly had a good 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.440 week of practice. So Don Peterson talked earlier this week 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.360 a little bit about what he wants to see from 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:48.800 his team. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.800 A little bit of a hole we've put ourselves in. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.040 I just want to see how these guys respond. I 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.960 want to see the energy on Wednesday. I want to 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.800 see the attention to detail, how do they attack the 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.560 walk through the meetings, you know, the practice that day, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:08.000 and just how do they respond right? And obviously they're 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:12.000 they're they're frustrated today, disappointed today because they know, I mean, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:16.200 I painted a pretty vibrant picture for him this morning, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.720 and uh, we all know where we are, and but 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.520 we all know where we can go and where we 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.440 where we can or what we can become as a 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.200 football team. And and you know they get excited for 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:29.960 that part of it. 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.560 John, good practice, bad practice for me. I think it's 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.040 really going to come down to game time again and 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:36.319 what they're actually gonna put together. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.439 Yeah, and I think it's a tough way. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:43.320 It's it's one of the more fascinating weeks that I 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:44.440 can remember around here. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:45.559 And I'm really. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.480 Interested to watch this game, instant to watch all of them. Brian, 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:52.120 that's the job. But I you know, I agree with Kay. 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:53.880 I don't know that it's as much about the work 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.839 this week. I'm assuming they have a good practice. They're 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.679 gonna be motivated. They've got a foot in their butt. 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.200 They haven't played well and they want to proof. To me, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.760 the game is gonna be interesting. If they're down seven 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:10.120 to nothing in the second quarter, how they react to 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.760 that after all the noise, after hey, relax, play your game. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.040 All of a sudden you're down. It's hard to relax. 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:23.120 So to me, it is a really fascinating game. It's 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.840 a big game. It's a dangerous game on that front 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:33.319 because the Falcons aren't bad. They can run. It's I'm 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.520 sort of at a loss for how to preanalyze it 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.960 because we've preoralized it so much. It's about that moment, 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.640 and it won't know that moment until Sunday. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.160 Well, and I'll stick with the psychology because I've been 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.319 talking about it for two weeks There are plenty of 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.520 reasons for the Jaguars to not feel confident, but there's 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.439 plenty of reasons for them to feel confident. They know, right, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.400 you've got Trevor Lawrence and Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.560 You've got players on both sides of the line of 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.280 scrimmage that you can line up with and win. So 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.520 they've got to get over that. Here's why I'm not 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.080 confident and how do I get to confidence? And John, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.959 you said it right, It's about making a play. If 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.200 Calvin catches that ball at the goal line, I think 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.520 everybody who's watching, let alone everyone who's sitting on this 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.240 set would agree the game is different because then everyone 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.040 calms down. They're looking for a calm down moment. Hopefully 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.400 that happens on the first drive. Whether it's a sack, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.160 strip fumble right or whether it's a touchdown pass. Get 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.199 that calm down moment and everybody focus. 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:29.720 On doing your job. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.079 Nice, nice breath of fresh air is what we're all 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.400 hoping for. I think Jagsam is brought to you by 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.760 Fields Autogroup, Jacksonville. Step up to luxury Fields Auto dot Com. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.520 We're gonna take a quick break. We will be back 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.480 and we will talk about the AFC South and what's 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:52.839 going on around the division. We're back here on jags 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.880 Am today and we're gonna talk a little bit about 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.600 the AFC South because we like to keep track of 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.240 what everybody else is doing. And don't look now, but 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.920 the Colts are leading the AFC South after another performance 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.480 from a familiar face. Gardnermentshew playing because Anthony Richardson was hurt, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.240 and they got a win over the Ravens last week. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:11.839 And are they good? 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:17.000 Well, they've got some good players, okay, Gardner minsh'll get 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:17.640 you six wins. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:22.480 Okay, Yeah, And it'll be interesting if they play him, 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.160 which they may be tempted to. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.400 How sustainable it is. 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.040 It never felt sustainable here, Maybe it'll be different there. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.280 I think they've got an okay defense. I think fans 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.400 sort of underrated that defense going into that over. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:37.120 I think we all did. 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.760 Frog seven is very good, pretty good defensively. And I'll 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.400 tell you, if you're the Jaguars, if there's going to 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.960 be a team ahead of you early, you don't mind 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.920 it being them, sure, because you beat them and. 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.520 You reel it back in very quickly. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.320 I'd rather have the Colts a game ahead than the 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.880 Texans right now, because the Texans have an advantage. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.360 You know, I don't think I underrated their front. I 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.280 think I overrated the dag Wars offensive line, to be 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.000 honest with you, And their front is good. Grover Stewart 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.240 is an underrated player for sure. Look if they're putting 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.760 some points on the board, that defense is going to 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:09.439 be a real beast. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.839 And we talked a little bit about what Jonathan Taylor 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.360 situation is the second time around. 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:14.319 We could see him here. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.160 That could be a very different game that second time 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.040 around when we get back from London, So keep an 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:18.480 eye on that. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.560 Of course, the Titans they've. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.440 Got troubles in Nashville as well because they fell big 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.600 time to the Browns and they didn't score touchdown either. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.400 So we just talked last week we kind of saw 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.640 a little bit of something out of quarterback play. But 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.319 now Derrick Henry is still not that Dereck Henry were 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:33.800 used to seeing. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.000 Well, yeah, Dereck Henry has been a non factor so far. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.760 The other side of the coin, though, is the up 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.080 and down is Ryan Tannehill. He was terrible on opening 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.199 Day with three interceptions, then last week rebounds and leads 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.800 the league in yards per completion to ten point three. Well, 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.800 then last week he reverts no Derick Henry four point two. Right, 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.560 they are so inconsistent in their passing. I mean, I 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.440 say that we've seen wild inconsistency here as well. But 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.160 that's why I think they've got a problem. They committed 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.160 to another season of Tannehill and Derrick Henry and it 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.800 doesn't appear like they're capable of carrying that thing through 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:10.400 for another year. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.400 Yeah, the Browns might be pretty good if there's a 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.959 red flag there for the Titans. It lost the Browns 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.199 big after the Browns had a primetime game the week 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.400 before and Monday Night and sometimes let down Browns and 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.240 it wasn't that would concern. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:22.520 You a little bit. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.280 Again, Rabel usually figures out a way to keep that 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:32.800 team competitive, unless it's just time, which your theory is 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.880 for that friend of time, I'd still rather have that 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.400 team four or five games out than close at the end. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.240 I think there's a chance we could see Malik Willis, 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.640 who had a really strong summer and a preseason that 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.360 will if he's practicing well and that thing is not 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.040 going anywhere by the time they get to us. In November, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.160 we could see Malik Willis. 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.400 I mean, I hope that's true. I hope they're nowhere 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:53.680 near us. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.839 Well, based on what we saw last year, however, apparently 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.640 you know, the lights going on for that kid and 0:13:58.760 --> 0:13:59.480 he was playing well. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.960 Okay, we'll have to check in on that. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.760 And of course Texans we saw that firsthand what they 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.239 were capable of. But C. J. Stroud just looked magnificent. Magnificent. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.320 He's off to a historic start. Over nine hundred yards passing, 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.719 four touchdowns and no interceptions. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.960 No quarterback rookie quarterback has ever done that. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.240 He's only behind passing yards for rookie quarterback Cam Newton 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.280 and Justin Herbert. That's some pretty good company. And he 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:23.640 seems like the real deal so far. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.520 Right, Well, look, he was playing with the lead for 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.240 the first time in his NFL career and he was 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:29.200 very impressive. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.440 He was calm, he made good decisions. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.920 The way that he picked up that Tank Dell Streak 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.000 route on the blitz was I mean, it won the game. 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.880 So there's nothing you can say about this kid except 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.360 that he has impressed losing winning, you know, in front 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.280 of the media, on the field, he's the real deal. 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.120 Yeah, Jaywars helped him look good. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.600 I mean, I think everybody would say one of the 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:56.040 bullet point disappointments was that you didn't sack Stroud and 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.880 therefore you didn't force him into a pick. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.920 Yeah, he will. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.480 Well, I still believe at some point this year he 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:07.360 will struggle with turnovers because Ricky quarterback student, somebody will 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.040 hit him and that clock in the head will go faster. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.040 The Jaguars defense was negligent on that front. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.880 On Sunday, he did. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:17.920 Make him look very very good. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.880 All right, coming up, we're gonna go over this or 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.880 that for this upcoming week's game against the Falcons. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:23.400 Stay with us. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:31.760 This is this or this or that is presented by 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.040 Price dot Com and we're gonna do an either or 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.640 situation here as we head to London. We're gonna go 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.280 over some of what they're going through. Brian, what's your 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.280 this or that for us? 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.360 Well, I mean, so I have read I've heard people 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.960 say this is the perfect week for the Draguars to 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:47.880 get on the plane and to go to London. So 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.240 my question is this, you know, is this the perfect 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.280 week for that or would it be better to get 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.680 into the root to stay in the routine and keep 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.920 doing what you do until you do it better. 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.280 I'm not sure there's a right or wrong answer to 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.040 this one. Just curious what you think. 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:06.400 Oh, I'd always it's always better stay home. I mean so, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.200 and I think most NFL coaches to tell you if 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:15.760 it's a routine business Monday Tuesday, you know, everything's the 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:21.080 same every week. So I don't think. I'm not sure 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.960 it's ever a great week in terms of preparation, in 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.080 terms of ease, But this team knows how to do this, 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:29.640 so I don't think it's a negative either. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.840 For me. It's kind of if it was one game, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:32.800 I probably say no. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.240 But because it's too it's almost like you're going and 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.720 kind of setting something up. It's its own little two 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.480 game set, if you will, to use a baseball reference. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.600 But that's why I kind of like it, because you're 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.760 going there, you're gonna set up home base, be there 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.920 for you know, twelve days. I think we're going to 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.360 be there, So that makes it a little bit different 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.120 for me. If it was just going in and back, 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.560 that would probably be probably wouldn't like that as much. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.040 But I think this fact will be there for two 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.040 weeks will allow it to be a little bit different. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:16:58.640 I'm not sure. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.280 Got to get some dubs, Yeah, let's go. 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.920 So I went with is it a must win game 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.399 or a really really big game? And that sounds like 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.160 the same thing, But I think there's a difference there. 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.480 I don't think it's must win because if you go 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.000 to one and three, we saw last year two and six, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:15.960 you can pull out of. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.880 These things in this league. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:24.119 So technically it's not, but it just feels so big 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.600 in terms of judging where this team is. 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.439 I guess, to me, if they. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.040 Play well and lose, then I don't think it's a 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.119 must win game, meaning you can play well in the 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:38.760 NFL and lose on a weird play. 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.679
