1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Wars did you do Jeck Jack Warris? Did you

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Jack Warres? Drive Time? Ryan Sex text? Jo says, actually,

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time starts right now. Hello, good morning, Welcome

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: to Tuesday Jags Drive Time. I'm gonna turn the volume

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: up a little bit here. Uh. Energetic is the word

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: for today, right, the energetic. Let's be honest. Uh, the

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Monday after the bye week, especially when you're on a

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: little losing skid, or longer four game losing skid. Uh,

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: you're you're still thinking bye week. You're still thinking, man,

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: the weekend was so nice? Why are we here? Could

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: we go another day or two? Could we have another

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: bye week somewhere? Tuesday, though, you know, the locker room

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: was open. Coach talked, Uh, let's go right here, you go.

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: Totally different day, especially after hearing dun Morone, who was

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: fired up in this press conference, a confident locker room.

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: It brought more juice to the week. So there's some energy.

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. But let's start with a game

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: that we thought. We said yesterday that this game was

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: really important, but the Titans win last night in Dallas

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: really amps this one up. Because you're the Texans are

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: what have they had their buyer or they five and

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: three or they six and three. They've won six, six

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: and three. Uh, there's six and three. And so you

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: sit right now three games back and the Titans are

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: four and four. So now you go into Indianapolis on

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Sunday and you've got a three and five Polts team

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: in a three and five Jaguars team. The winner stays close,

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: user falls way back at the pack um. And we

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: talked about this early. I didn't think the Colts are

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: any good. I still don't know how good they are.

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: They they've won two in a row, and they've beaten

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: the Bills and they've beaten the Raiders. Okay, I mean

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: two teams that are languishing where you see the roster

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: and you say, just not enough talent on the roster.

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: This team four straight losses, but you see talent on

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: one side of the ball that you think at least

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: can kind of get some momentum um. Still, it is

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: a huge It's an even bigger game on Sunday. And

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: if it's gonna go this way, because look, the Titans

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: look terrible to start the game last night. Marcus Mariota

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: fumbled the first two possessions and the third possession as well,

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: and it was overturned by uh instant replay. So I

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: mean you had a chance where they could have just

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: been blown out, which means that'll happen again. Right, you

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: thought it was over those first three drives. Absolutely, So

46
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna go back and forth, and maybe the Colts

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: stay in this thing, maybe the Colts get you on Sunday,

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: and you know, who knows. But all of a sudden,

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: now it's just it's it's ramping this thing up up up,

50
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: and Sunday in Indianapolis is going to whether it feels

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: that way or not, whether the Colts fans bring that

52
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: kind of energy to the stadium or not. Any player

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: in either locker room who just looks at the situation

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: Ashlan is going to know what's on the line. Yeah,

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: when we talked to the players yesterday in the locker room,

56
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: every single player brought up Andrew Luck as the Colts

57
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: quarterback and the story and would come back it's been

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: when he's the quarterback of the Colts, it's onto my

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: cleay is an important game no matter what. Well, and

60
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: look it's not as if he has the most talented

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: offense he's ever had up there. They're running game is

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of hit and miss. It depends on Marlon Mack,

63
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: who has been often injured. The tight end they grabbed

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: from Detroit, Eric Abron has seven touchdowns. T Y Hilton

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: has had a hamstring problem, so he hasn't been a

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: percent yet. But luck is just so good and he

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: doesn't take sacks and he's not the kind of guy

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: to hold the ball too long. Um. The other thing is,

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's kind of an intangible He appears to

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: be a guy who's really enjoying playing again. The time off,

71
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: the long break in his career gave him a greater

72
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: appreciation maybe than the guy who really appreciated the game anyway.

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: He seems absolutely Uh. The other thing is, I knew

74
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: he was good. Um. The defense, they're not loaded with talent,

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: but they're playing better. They're playing better, So you got

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: your hands full on Sunday a game that I at

77
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: least I know. I said that's a win early and

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: we talked about defense that a win. I was wrong.

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: It's it's it will be the first time I'm wrong today,

80
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: let alone in my life. It's important game, but it really, yeah,

81
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: it really feels. Watching the end of that game last night,

82
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: seeing the result of it this morning in Dallas made

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: me think, oh, here we go. You know, nothing is

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: breaking the Jaguars way. I mean the Texans winning when

85
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos missed makeuple kick at the end of the game,

86
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: that didn't break their way. Three fumbles early, right, and

87
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: it didn't break their way because the Cowboys fumbled away

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: in the second half, gave it away in the second half.

89
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: So things aren't breaking their way. You're not getting any

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: extra help, no, so now you gotta make it on

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: your own, absolutely, which leads us to big things because

92
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: there is a chance that maybe something's going to break

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: their way this week, we hope. So big thing one

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: is many happy returns. A few guys back at practice yesterday,

95
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: one of them being Leonard for Net, d J. Hayden

96
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: and Tyler Patman back at practice after injuries. Doug Brown said, yes,

97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: that's great that Leonard Forron is back, but he's still weak.

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: A week on his mind and we'll just see how

99
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: it cost during a week, and Jared how things happened

100
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: during a week. It is really what um answers A

101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: lot of those questions, you know, which you know, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: you're worried about this guy. Is he gonna be able

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: to play? He's gonna play the full amount? And we

104
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: get the other guys ready enough. What plays that he

105
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: is he feel comfortable with? What plays other people feel

106
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: comfortable with. I mean, you go back and forth and

107
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: try to make sure because at the end of the day,

108
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: your jobs have trying to put the team in the

109
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: best you know, the best situational win. So obviously the

110
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: number one guy here is Leonard for net Um, and

111
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: it sure look to me like he felt good. I

112
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: know because I was walking outside to the practice field

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: yesterday the dream Finders Flex dream Finders Homes flex field.

114
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: I haven't had to say in a long time flex field,

115
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: dream find just say dream Finders, the dream Finders flex

116
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: field at Daily's place. And he came running behind me

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: and went right. He was obviously on the verge of

118
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: being late for practice, so he was hustling. And by

119
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: the way, Marcel Darius was running for step with him,

120
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: which was such a good thing to see your three

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: plus pound defensive tackle, who can move with that guy? Um,

122
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: But he took all the reps with that. We saw

123
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: you know with the first team early on UM and

124
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: as John said yesterday, if not now, when so now?

125
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: And and we're going to kind of rehash things all

126
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: week long because that's what you are and play a game.

127
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: If you have Carlos Hide and a healthy Leonard for

128
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: Net and you can get t J. Yeldon playing his

129
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: style of ball again, which is that change up back,

130
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: not the power bag. There's a reason to have some

131
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: energy in Jackson. It's promising because it sets up your

132
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: play action quarterback, and more importantly, it sets up your defense.

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: Your defense is not hopefully playing from behind because you

134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: can play some ball control and do what you want

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: to do. And I know no one wants to talk

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: ball control today. They want to talk about They want

137
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: to talk about the Saints and the Rams. And I'll

138
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: be honest, I watched that game. It was entertaining. Yeah right,

139
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: I would like to see some of that too. I

140
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: love the running game and defense, but it's hard not

141
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: to really appreciate what they've got going in both of

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: those cities, and by the way, in both places, they

143
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: run the ball. UM. So getting for Net back again

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: a Doug kind of hedged his bet, and I get why.

145
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Until the guy proves that he's gonna come and play,

146
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: then he hasn't come put right, and why should it

147
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: be excited? And he and he probably doesn't want to

148
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: answer any more questions about it. He's tired of it. Um,

149
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: But there's reason for hope. Now on the other side

150
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: of the bowl. Wait, wait, one more guy in the

151
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: offense side. James Shaughnessy was back at practice as well.

152
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: And look, I mean, let's not you know, make this

153
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: guy into Tony Gonzalez, but you're throwing to David Grinnage

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: in London and a guy off the practice squad, a

155
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: big body but not necessarily receiving tight end. And you

156
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: bring in Blake Bell. In fact, when you look at

157
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: the Handy depth chart here right, Austin's Ferry Jenkins should

158
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: have been number one. He's not even on here. Right

159
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: now you've got James O'Shaughnessy, David Grinnage and Blake Bell. Well,

160
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Grinage was on the practice squad and Blake Bell came

161
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: to you via the street, right, um. And and so

162
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt have Ohauns back. You need to have

163
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: at least a guy that there's some semblance of a

164
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: rhythm a timing and understanding when when Blake ghets his

165
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: back foot, he knows, oh, Shaunessy's going to be right

166
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: where he's supposed to be. Right With the other two guys,

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: you're still working on that because they're at least there.

168
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: So O'Shaunessy coming back gives them someone, hopefully who can

169
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: help them move the chains right, keep drives alive. And

170
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 1: again we've said this, you know, since since last year's

171
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: divisional playoff game in Pittsburgh. The style of this team

172
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: wants to play is run the ball, open things up

173
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: underneath for tight ends, and then be able to take

174
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: their shots deep. And right now that whole thing has

175
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: been wrecked. Running back back on the other side, a

176
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: guy who is back is d J. Hayden Um. He

177
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: was playing well before he had the toe injury, and

178
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: now he's been out since early September. Who knows what

179
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: to expect. But I don't know that we see a

180
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,359
Speaker 1: J boy A back this week. I mean maybe he practices.

181
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: He Yeah, when you're talking about that calfe injury, that

182
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: could be a two week deal, that could be a

183
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: six week deal. You know, I remember two thousand fourteen,

184
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis got one and he was gone for six

185
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: weeks um, so you could see that thing kind of

186
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: string along and they might just want to play it

187
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: cool with him, which now you can do a little

188
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: bit of because you got Hayden back and Pat so

189
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: Patman was playing Nickel in place of Hayden. Now Hayden

190
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: could step outside and Patman could go back to Nickel,

191
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: and you're not relying on Trey Herndon or Quentin makes it.

192
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: By the way, you don't have Quentin makes because of

193
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: the m c L injury. So Hayden is a key

194
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: piece to get back because at least he gives you

195
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: some things that you can do on defense, guys that

196
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: you can rely on. You're not pulling more guys up

197
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: from the practice squad. Yeah, they have options. And we

198
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: talked to d J. Hayden in the lock room yesterday.

199
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: He talks about just how frustrating something as little as

200
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: a toe injury is. Absolutely you know, it's of course

201
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: it's frustrated, not just uh, it's always frustrating not being

202
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: with your teammates. Man, he's just not being able to

203
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: play on the field. But but yeah, I'm ready, I'm

204
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: happy and super confident that he was ready to play.

205
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: This Spee left no doubt. And it was funny they

206
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: were asking, I, you know, it's it's just a toe.

207
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. It's like a toe is

208
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: a huge part of football. Who was getting frustrated that, yeah,

209
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: it's just a toe, though. I think I think I

210
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: read somewhere once this is one of those Cliff Claven

211
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: Cheers facts that you can't be balanced at all without

212
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: your big toe, right, the big toe is trying you

213
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: could do without the little toe, you can't do without

214
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: the big toe. Um. And you're talking about turning and running,

215
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, and so if your toes not there, you're

216
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: getting up on your toes and and and spinning and

217
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: trying to chase guys. Yeah, it's not easy to do. Um.

218
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: So I guess the big picture of big thing one

219
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 1: is that you know, week after week after week of

220
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: where is Leonard and where is this guy? And when

221
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: is this guy coming back? All of a sudden, you

222
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: come back from the bye week with eight games to go,

223
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: and maybe we're just setting it up. I mean maybe

224
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: it just seems like it's two story book picture picturesque.

225
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, you're getting healthy second half of the season.

226
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Division is still you know, there for you to make

227
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: a run. Gosh, doesn't it look good? But at least

228
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: you've got you've got you've got guys coming back. You're

229
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: not saying, okay, where guys going when now it appears

230
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: we'll see some guys on the field, and that at

231
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: least is something you can ask for. Yeah, we talked

232
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: about how important this bye week is to come at

233
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: this moment in time, and it seems to have worked

234
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: at least for Monday's practice. We'll find out what's next.

235
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: What's next is mixing it up so we know that

236
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: football is a routine, a daily routine arena exactly what

237
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: is happening. Doug Marowne has thrown that out the window

238
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: of the second half of the season. There's a lot

239
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: of things that went into it, but all things for

240
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: a reason, you know, to help us get better. Change

241
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: some of the schedules and things that we do during practice,

242
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: things that we're not doing well that we need to

243
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: work on. Put that into the practice schedule, um and

244
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: just sticking with it. And that's that's what we're gonna

245
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: do and you know, for the rest of the season.

246
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: So it's not changed to change, it's changed for a

247
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: specific outcome of what we need done. This is big Ashley,

248
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: because coaches hate to change their routine. I think I've

249
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: told you this story. But in this very studio for

250
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: eight years, Tom Coflin came on Thursdays at eleven twenty

251
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: to take his pregame radio UH interview his practices open

252
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: media time in the locker room. You know, when the

253
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: buses left for the airport, they were always the same always.

254
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: Coaches are creatures of routine. And by the way, so

255
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: we're players, right, um. John tells a story about Tony

256
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Dungee talking about how you make it simple and make

257
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: it easy on guys by never changing things up. They

258
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: know where they're supposed to be at all times. Right,

259
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: you get him into that rhythm. This is totally changing

260
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: it up. And we saw guys in the locker room.

261
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Linder wouldn't even take the time to talk to you,

262
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: a fellow acquaintas alum, right, because what did he say?

263
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: He said, the schedule, you had to be on time,

264
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: first day of the new schedule. Get whatever, right, whatever whatever,

265
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: come on. But the reality of it is is that

266
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: they are jumbling. They're changing something you can't. You get

267
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: into a season, you can't change everything, right, You have

268
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: a fifty three man roster. You can move a couple

269
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: of guys around. You might put someone in the starting

270
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: lineup entree to prior or or other beliefs. You can't

271
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: change the quarterback, right, I mean, you can't go bring

272
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford him, which is some of the stuff I

273
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: was seeing on Twitter yesterday and on social media. You

274
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: can't change everything. There's certain things you're just stuck with

275
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: by the decisions that you make. However, this is something

276
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: you can change, and I'll be interested to see now.

277
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: They talked about changing the practice routine before we went

278
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: to London, and that was about focusing more on protecting

279
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: the ball and focusing on taking the ball away, and

280
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: they came away with a positive takeaway ratio for the

281
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: first time in weeks months. So we'll see if this

282
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: new routine works. UM. I don't want to call it

283
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: desperation because I didn't get the sense, maybe you did

284
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: talking to the players or or listening to Doug yesterday,

285
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: that there was desperation involved in this. Um. They had

286
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to change something. Yeah, I took it more as Doug

287
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: just doing his job, trying to do his part in

288
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: changing something that he felt wasn't working. And he talked

289
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: about it and extensively with his coaching staff and came

290
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: up with a plan. So we'll see. We don't know

291
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: the plan by the way we do. Uh, normally we've

292
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: got an email early on Monday giving us the week

293
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: it win players are available, when coaches are available. That

294
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: has not come out yet, So they're tweaking that even still.

295
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: But they're looking at every minute of the day. And

296
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: I go back to last year and and training camp,

297
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: dougs first camp, and thinking where's the break for these

298
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: guys because they started early and they finished late, and

299
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: it was constantly moving from one thing to the next.

300
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I kind of get the sense, maybe, based on Brandon's

301
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: comments to you yesterday, that's what we're gonna see. It worked,

302
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: it worked last year. We'll see if it comes back. See,

303
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: we talked to a few players in the locker room,

304
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: so that it's just Dug doing his park in Calais.

305
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: Campbell was one of them that agree with the change.

306
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: I think changes always. You know, if you can a

307
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: little change, could it could be beneficial? You know? Uh,

308
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: I think he took the approach of what can I do,

309
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, how can I help the team get back

310
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: in the win column, you know, And that's that's a

311
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: good leadership, you know. And we all kind of have

312
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: to take the mentality what can we each individually do

313
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: to help the same win. And if we all come

314
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: up with mentality, you know, we're probably gonna figure it out.

315
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. Um, it stinks three and five.

316
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: The first half of the season stinks, right, so you know,

317
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: you take one of those um, those Clark's wipes, you know,

318
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: the bleachy smell to clean your counter and make it like, wow,

319
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I really did a good job. This is good. Yeah,

320
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: I look, this looks great, exactly right. It's clean. Um,

321
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: And changing the schedule does that. It brings everyone and says,

322
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: this is a new starts eight games left. Let's put

323
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: the last eight games behind us and focus on what's ahead.

324
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: And that's one way of doing that. Yeah, I agree.

325
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a great way to clean. Like you said,

326
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: clean the table clean and clean the slate clean. It

327
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: seems like everyone was very refreshed yesterday in the locker

328
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: room and just completely looking forward. Whenever you asked a

329
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: question about the first half of the season. It was

330
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: looks clean, smells clean, hopefully hope you don't know that

331
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: you get everything off the counter. It just looks good.

332
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they did. Maybe they've wiped it all clean. We'll

333
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: find out on Sunday, Yes we will, all right. Big

334
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: thing three is flex So that Pittsburgh game that we

335
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: were all looking forward to, the Sunday night prime time

336
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: game here in Jacksonville is now a one o'clock game.

337
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: The Vikings and Bears are on the Sunday night game.

338
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: Doug Moron says his team didn't deserve a Sunday night game.

339
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: Who do you think that Steelers can also be flexes? Uh? Yeah,

340
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: I think it. I think it will be flexed. Should

341
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: it be flexed? I mean, are you guys deserving those plan? And?

342
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: All right, So here's the behind the scenes on that.

343
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Doug knew at that moment that the game had been flexed.

344
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: It had not been released by the NFL, and so

345
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: he couldn't say anything. We knew it as well, and

346
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: so we were in the locker room before the players

347
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: found out and they released it. The league released it

348
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: as the players were walking through and leaving, right, So

349
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: we didn't get the players reaction. But what you saw

350
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: was this what right? The players were looking forward to

351
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: that that prime time stage is big, especially for guys

352
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: like Jalen Ramsey and Leonard for Nett, you know star players, right,

353
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: they want this bot light. Okay, Well, um, it's a

354
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: bum deal for the fans. It's a bum deal for

355
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the fans. And there are some fans who will be

356
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: beyond inconvenience. They may or may not make it to

357
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: the stadium. They may not be able to make that

358
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: that early, they may have the travel plants, whatever. This

359
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: will have an impact on some people. Uh. For the Jaguars,

360
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: the impact is it's it's a mental impact. It is

361
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: you're not good enough. We're not putting you on. And

362
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 1: just in all candor, NBC turned down the Steelers, right

363
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: would happen? Let's be clear, Uh, this is about market size. Now,

364
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is in a huge market, but they stretch across

365
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: all markets. I mean, you've been in the league two

366
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: years now, you see that the Steelers fan base is

367
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: themwhere right, It's one of three or four that travels

368
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: and fills your stadium, the Packers and the Steelers in particular.

369
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: If you can't fill your stadium, they can fill it

370
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: for you, all right. They will fill every seat that

371
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: you don't sell. Um, I'm sure there's gonna be some

372
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: Steelers fans were inconvenienced by this as well. So generally

373
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: the NBC folks, Fox, CBS, they all want the Steelers

374
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: on their air because it drives ratings. Um. It didn't

375
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: feel good to have the game taken away. It feels

376
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: even worse to know that the Steelers the opponent, are

377
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: a team that knows everybody wants. It's not good. It's

378
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: not good. But you can't I've seen a bunch of

379
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: comments on Twitter like how could they do this? Why

380
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: would they do this? How can you blame them? You

381
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: haven't played well enough to deserve Like Dog just said,

382
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: it stinks, but you can't be surprised. But I played

383
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: incredibly poorly three straight weeks in a row Kansas City, Dallas,

384
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: in Houston. Then they got back on the horse and

385
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: had a chance in London against Philadelphia. So now they

386
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: got to build on that. They've got to build That

387
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: wasn't the only game, by the way, in terms of

388
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: flex you know, the Miami game on December or December

389
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: three was up in the air as well. The league

390
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: and the networks were waiting to see if that might

391
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: be a Saturday night primetime sort of game, and that

392
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: quietly just the Jags will play at one o'clock on Sunday.

393
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's two games now that have been

394
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: taken from prime time and put into standard one o'clock kickoff,

395
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: which as a routine is great as a routine for us,

396
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: for the players, for the coaches, one o'clock is a

397
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: great routine. But in terms of prestige, in terms of

398
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: the fan base, in terms of the excitement level, two games,

399
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: it could have been primetime late in the season, playoff chase.

400
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: You're not in it right now. Um, you heard Doug

401
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: say no. Obviously not. He's not gonna stand there and

402
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: argue for it. Calais same thing. Um, there might be

403
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: some player angst about that. On Wednesday, we'll see. I

404
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: think you're a lot of anks, but I don't think

405
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: you have room to argue it. I don't know if

406
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: anyone will. I don't know if anyone will. They'll argue

407
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: it amongst themselves, but I don't know anyone would stand

408
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 1: in front of the camera and say no, that's not right.

409
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: They should have kept us there. Um trust me. You know,

410
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: the league was hoping that they would get that forty

411
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: two kind of game that we saw in the divisional

412
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: playoff round. That's one of the reasons why they wanted

413
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: it there. They wanted it to be a market game.

414
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's not right now. It doesn't seem to be.

415
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, Steelers aren't necessarily world beaters. It's

416
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: not still the game. And you hope it's still will Yeah,

417
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: you hope it It is. Okay, all right, there's Big

00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: That is two weeks from Saturday. Mackenzie's Run dot ord. Okay,

458
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: here we go, Here we go. Ashlyn's analysis. I'm gonna

459
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: sit back and just let you go. I wouldn't think

460
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: that second half of the season, week nine, that we'd

461
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: be analyzing the storyline of the week in the locker

462
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: room yesterday was this team is getting back to the

463
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: fundamentals of football. It's myself fundamental, you know what I

464
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: mean at the level, you know, at this level, you

465
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: know it's easy for you to forget, you know, different

466
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: things as far as like watching the bought it to

467
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: the tuck things, the things that they've been teaching since

468
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: you were a little here. You know, I just gotta

469
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: pretty much go back into that and and that's all.

470
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: It is, just a plan fundamentally sounding. We haven't been

471
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: doing that and so it was up to us, so

472
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: of course, get back on the right track and fix it.

473
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: So we heard Doug Marron talked about fundamentals yesterday, we

474
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: heard d J. Hayden, Kiles Campbell, D D. Westbrook all

475
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: talked about getting back to the fundamentals of football. It's

476
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: not what you want to be talking about right now.

477
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: And that was d. D. Westbrook talking about the drop

478
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: pass as the receiver's had in the first half the

479
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: season that it stinks. I don't want to be talking

480
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: about this right now, but it's obviously a problem that

481
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: we're dealing with and it hasn't been fixed. You know,

482
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: there was a little hangdog mentality in that locker room yesterday.

483
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: You know, guys were kind of hanging their heads. Um,

484
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: they didn't want to talk a whole lot. Uh, they

485
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: just wanted to keep moving. And they've been giving the schedule,

486
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: they're probably giving their marching orders, and the fundamental side,

487
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: they would probably slap them in the face. It's not exciting,

488
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: No it's not. But you know, you get to a

489
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: point where you spend so much time working on the

490
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: game plan and and they only have so much time

491
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: to work with these guys during the week. It's it's

492
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: regulated by the like a bargaining agreement. Um. You you

493
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: kind of hope the guys will go do it on

494
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: their own right. The guys are thinking about the fundamentals,

495
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: whether it's their footwork as a quarterback, or grab the

496
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: jugs machine and catch some passes after practice. You know,

497
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice was infamous for his years of staying on

498
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: the practice field late and and making the ball boys

499
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: keep feeding the jugs machine. Would be the greatest receiver

500
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: to ever play the game. Never stopped working on his craft. Um,

501
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: it's on these guys. I mean, the coaches are now

502
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: going to have to do some of it on the

503
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: practice field, but really it's on these guys going forward

504
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: to take their time and get the extra work in.

505
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: You're only on the practice field. I don't know, what

506
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: was it two hours a day, Uh, Wednesday Thursday, not

507
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: even that on Friday. You gotta make time game plan

508
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: driven that you forget about the fundamentals of it and

509
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: you get going. And these guys spend time not just

510
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: in the classroom, but you know, getting physical therapy, guys

511
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: to do massage therapy, guys have acupuncture, dry needling. I mean,

512
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: they're constantly working on what they eat, They're working on

513
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: their bodies, they're working on the game plan. The fundamental

514
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: side of it obviously is something they have to work

515
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: on as well. Um, we saw the fundamental work of

516
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: protecting the ball and of taking the ball away work

517
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: in London after the emphasis on it. So I imagine

518
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: it stings because these guys are professionals and they figured

519
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: they have done this their whole life, and then they

520
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: were working on since Pop Warner and it probably it's

521
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: it's like being taken to task by your third grade teacher. Um,

522
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: but I know just I coach my kids in the

523
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: Junior Development League, and half of our practice is fundamentals.

524
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: It's blocking and tackling Ashland. And we see on Saturday

525
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: at that level, which I gets different than this, but

526
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: not so different than what I'm about to say. Doesn't

527
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: make sense, and that is is that when we have

528
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: good practices blocking and tackling, we have good games. Right.

529
00:25:54,160 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: We see that carry through Monday, Thursday, Saturday, good good, good, good,

530
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: bad bad bad bad. Right, it is how it works.

531
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: And so to some extent, since football is blocking and tackling,

532
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: it's more sophisticated. I get that. But the very fundamentals

533
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: of the game, if they practice them and perfect them Tuesday,

534
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday, you have a good game, yeah, exactly.

535
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: So it seems easy. Yeah, we didn't think we'd be

536
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: talking about this. And there's a lot that we've been

537
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: talking about the last month that when they were three

538
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: and one, we're thinking about, all right, here's how you

539
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: get a two game lead in the division. You know,

540
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: here's how you set yourself up for the second half.

541
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: And in the last month it's been a you know,

542
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: how you catch the ball, right, you know, you let

543
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: the year out of the balloon, because at this point

544
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: these guys have to figure that out, right, But it's

545
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: where you are. And it was a month ago we

546
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: never thought we'd be talking about the second half of

547
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: the season, coming back from the bye, talking about fundamentals.

548
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: So when you look in the eyes of DV west

549
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: Broke or any of those players in that locker room

550
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: and they're talking about having to go back to fundamental football,

551
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing for them. They don't want to talk about that.

552
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: They're supposed to know that, they're supposed to do it

553
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: on their own. That's what being a professional is all about,

554
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: doing those things, the simple things of your craft, on

555
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: your own right. And you know that message is coming

556
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: from head coach dun Rowan because we've heard every single

557
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: player say, and we've seen that rhythm when dune Roun

558
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: stresses something, the entire locker room all of a sudden

559
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: is stressing it. Well, here's the thing about fundamentals, And

560
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: I'll just use blocking and tackling one more time and

561
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: then we can move on. Um, this team has not

562
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: blocked very well, they have not tackled very well. They're

563
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: not running the ball very well. They're not stopping the

564
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: run very well. So if that's all you work on

565
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: this week, you should be able to go to Indianapolis

566
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: and play well right and get back to your basics.

567
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: By the way, that's who they are. They run the ball,

568
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: they allegedly stopped the run. Right, at least that's what

569
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: we saw last year. Allegedly they have not done a

570
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: very good job of that recently. Yes, well that's mine else. Okay,

571
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: that's wrapped up, So what's not take a deep breath Tuesday.

572
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: It'll be real good this week. It should be easier, right,

573
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: I mean they had the week off. It's a lot

574
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: to do with the flex schedule, as you can imagine

575
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: by the way, I agree to disagree at the end

576
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: of the show, say all right, let's see the first

577
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: one here. Oh please hold, I need my glasses. You

578
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: wear glasses? All right? Wow, didn't take long to get

579
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: that slap in the face. So Sunday Night Football and NBC,

580
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: when are you ever going to flex the New York

581
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Giants out of prime time? And it's a conversation between

582
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: fans about how New York Giants, despite their losing record,

583
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: they still have primetime games they do and then they

584
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: are New York. It's New York. And for folks who

585
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: have been around just the last couple of years, uh,

586
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: this is something we have talked about in Jacksonville since

587
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: that is you were little Jacksonville. Right now, you go

588
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: out and be big Jacksonville on the field, but in

589
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: the community, right, it's still little Jacksonville and little little,

590
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: but little in terms of number of households. With television, right,

591
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: it's what it's about. Right, it's on television, and they

592
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: want to have the greatest region, even when the Giants

593
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: stink they have more households tuning in than Jacksonville has households.

594
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you have twenty million people in

595
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: their metropolitan area and one million people in this metropolitan area.

596
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: So the Giants are always going to be there. They're

597
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: not going to flex the giants out. And by the way,

598
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: they have a flamboyant superstar in Odell Beckham Jr. Who's

599
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: one handed catches. Have him as an an acronym, right

600
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: O b J. Right, he's fun to watch. Kid say,

601
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out, right, So they're going to

602
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: be there. Do the Jaguars have an offensive star that

603
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: inspires that sort of viewership? For not when he's healthy?

604
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: That really not like a receiver and not like that.

605
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: But that's the close second, right, which tells you they

606
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: don't have enough offensive firepower right, right, And it's offense

607
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: that drives television ratings. It just keep going back to

608
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: that ram scene thing. It just does, it just does.

609
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: So they've got um new slash. They've got to fix that. Yes,

610
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: that's take a deep breath because it is what it is.

611
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: It's not going to change, all right. Let's see the

612
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: next one. This is a Brent Martineau tweet talking about

613
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: the flex schedule, talking about the small markets Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cleveland,

614
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: oak Oakland, Las Vegas, Tampa, Bay, Tennessee, and Cincinnati. They

615
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: deserve at least one prime time game every two years,

616
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: regardless of their record. One day, Brady is gonna retire, guys.

617
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: Geez um. There was a rule at one time that

618
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: every when they added the Thursday games, that every single

619
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: team had to be on a prime time game. That

620
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: rule didn't last very long. And the answer all throughout you.

621
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: This is two years ago. The Jaguars went to Tennessee

622
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night and got their doors blown off.

623
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: They were non competitive from the very start. It was

624
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight to nothing before you even knew it. The

625
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: game finished thirty six to seventeen something like that, but

626
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was a non competitive game.

627
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: And seen the Jaguars did not have a primetime game

628
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: based on the fact that what they saw. So the

629
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: market size, it's always going to lean downward right in

630
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: favor of those big teams, and they don't have to

631
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: be as good. But if you're a small market team,

632
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: if you're Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cincinnati, New Orleans, in order to

633
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: gain the eyeballs in places like Philly, Chicago, l A,

634
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: New York, Dallas, you gotta be good, good, better make

635
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: people watch. Is it fair? No? But did your dad

636
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: ever tell your life was fair? It's not. Did anybody

637
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: ever tell you life was fair? If they did, you

638
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: better get that out of your out of your lexicon

639
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: right now. Life isn't fair. And in the NFL it isn't.

640
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: They try to level the playing field with the draft, right,

641
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: and the salary cap in those things. But when it

642
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: comes to the money, and it's about the money, it's

643
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: professional football. It's about the TV. And when the TV

644
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: says we don't want Jacksonville, Tennessee, Buffalo right unless they're good,

645
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: then we'll take them. There's nothing that Lenk is gonna

646
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: say except Okay, you're writing the check. Done. It is

647
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: what it is. You win you're on. If the Jaguars

648
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: are four and four, I bet they're still playing the

649
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: Steelers on prime time. But they've lost four in a

650
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: row and they couldn't even write the ship at any point.

651
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: Forget the Kansas City game. The Dallas game had everybody going, WHOA,

652
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: what is this? Right? Um, if they were four and four,

653
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: I think they probably still be playing. I think if

654
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: you beat the Eagles in London, you would still have

655
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: a primetime game. Yeah, probably so. But it is what

656
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: it is. And we remember last year when the Jaguars

657
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: were successful and the Buffalo Bills. We I remember this

658
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: team preaching the small town vibes in the small market

659
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: and being so proud of that because you were on

660
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: a primetime game because it was the playoffs, it was

661
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: the wild Cards. So when you're playing well, you use

662
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: it to your advantage. By the way, the Jaguars do

663
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: have one primetime game, and that is a Thursday night

664
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: in December in Tennessee. Right, it should be a great game.

665
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: Saying as how these two teams are going hope so

666
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: fingers crossed. Based on the last trip up there, a

667
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: good game would suffice, all right. The last take deep

668
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: breath Tuesday. Let's see it. So this is talking about

669
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: the Teddy Bridgewater trade. Fans arguing back and forth. But

670
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler, this guy says, I'd rather have the picks.

671
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: You're getting an average quarterback at best with Teddy Bridgewater.

672
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he'd flourished behind this line and with

673
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: those wide receivers. So I think this would have fit

674
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: perfectly in agree to disagree, Right, we should have talked

675
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: about this one because I agree, I agree to. I

676
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: don't think this will take a deep breath. I think

677
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: that's a solid argument. That is a solid argument. Um,

678
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: I guess Teddy Bridgewater had a I didn't get to

679
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: see a lot of him. Uh, he had a decent August.

680
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: But you're still talking about a guy who was an average,

681
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: above average, slightly above average quarterback in Minnesota with a

682
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: serious knee injury that cost him a lot of playing time.

683
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: And John Payton offensive genius. Get it. May see, something

684
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: may make sense? Right, bring him in. Um, that isn't

685
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: the guy I want as my long term quarterback. No,

686
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: that's not the guy I'm picking. And we talked about

687
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: building for the future so much and the salary clap

688
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: and everything and these next two years being so important,

689
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: you want the picks right now. And he's right. I mean,

690
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: so Mark Easley is is not playing this year obviously,

691
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: and with the knee injury, you don't know when he

692
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: plays again. Mon Creef has as we talked about yesterday,

693
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: he has not dazzled people with his playmaking skill. Um

694
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: D D. Westbrook has, but he's not the one, right.

695
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, in an ideal world, he's a

696
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: two slash three if you have another guy, absolutely, Uh,

697
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: there's no tight end out there right now. All you've

698
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: got the running game, so it does I don't think

699
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna sound right. I'm not sure which quarterback

700
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: could go out there, Okay, Tom Brady, Right, Tom Brady,

701
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: give him a call. Not a lot of guys can.

702
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: So that's a good point. Uh. And you want the

703
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: picks because you need the picks. With the salary cap

704
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: situation the way it is, you need players that can

705
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: come in and contribute and play at a fixed rate.

706
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: More about that in the offseason, but good solid take.

707
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: We'll take a break, and what is next? Agree to

708
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: disagree is next? Plus we have couple of headlines from

709
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,040

Speaker 1: n Ashlyn with Jeff Lockherman will join us in a

742
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: couple of minutes and get his thoughts on the tape.

743
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: Um agree to disagree, Sorry out they were off last

744
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: week obviously, and so from that perspective, there wasn't a

745
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: lot to agree or disagree with. So this is the

746
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: flex let's say schedule but the flexed game edition of

747
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: agree to disagree. So let's hit it some real AXT

748
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: and it's deserving. Uh you see right there, Gunter Brew

749
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: Gunter's Brew eighty two. We were saved from another national

750
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: stage embarrassment, Steelers by thirty. You could just this was

751
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: probably really quickly after he learned, after he learned, and

752
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: he's on there. He's angry, right, He's mad at the Jaguars,

753
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: clearly because his team has fallen into a position where

754
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: they've been flexed um. And he's mad because he's watched

755
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: his team blow it and and and you know they

756
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: can't see the game. There's such hype about that one.

757
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this was like there's a game of the

758
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: season and right, didn't turn out very well. Then there's

759
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: Dallas and get back in then Houston. Right, it was bad, bad,

760
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: So this guy is just in the mood. Yeah, I

761
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: don't blame them. Yeah, I don't think the Jaggars get

762
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: blown by by thirty by these dealers. I think, and

763
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: maybe I'm overly optimistic. I think that the return of

764
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: four net gives this team the ability to play ball control.

765
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: I think we'll see Blake play more efficiently. I'm not

766
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: sure what that means, but if it means the way

767
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: that he played late last season, great, uh more efficiently.

768
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: The defense will be better with a running game that

769
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: can help them. I get it that Steelers team is

770
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: playing better than this one is right now. Might not

771
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: be a win, um, but not not blown up by thirty. No,

772
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a closer game. Not by now.

773
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: They're piste off about it. Yeah right now? Yeah now

774
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: that gives them even more No, not by thirty. Disagree

775
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: with you, Gunner. I think that it will add up.

776
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: And I don't blame them because I remember in the

777
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys game when they went up to Dallas and they lost.

778
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: I remember so many of us saying, and so many

779
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: people on Twitter saying that was embarrassing that the entire

780
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: country watched the Jaguars lose an embarrassing fashion. So I

781
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: don't I agree with the embarrassing. I agree that it's

782
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: embarrassing on a national scale to lose like that, But

783
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's okay next. This team stinks. I

784
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: honestly think they could care less. Hashtag no heart okay,

785
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: uh big big a big three seven? Um, they hard

786
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: to argue they stink right now, right, I mean he

787
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: lost four in a row, blown out in Kansas City,

788
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: blown out in Dallas. Um, turn the ball over against

789
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: Houston and didn't give yourself a real chance and then

790
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: narrowly missed an opportunity. Um. The disagreement comes from the

791
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: thinking that they could care less. Right. Um? First of all, grammatically,

792
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: they couldn't care less? Is what you really wanted to say.

793
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: So we disagree that. Yeah, right, Um. But the reality

794
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: of it is you will find out, right. I mean

795
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: the next eight games when there's an opportunity on the

796
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: on the table for them to go do something. The

797
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: next eight games will tell you how much they care. Right.

798
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: So the hashtag no heart if if that's true, you'll

799
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: see it in the next eight games. I think the

800
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: first sign of adversity the first sign that they can quit.

801
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: If they do quit, then you have an argument. But

802
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: the Eagles, when when they're playing the Eagles in London,

803
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: that bench, that bench cared, right, you haven't seen it yet,

804
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: look at look at the next eight games. Stay tuned, Okay, next,

805
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: agree to disagree. I applaud NBC's decision. I would rather

806
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: get home at five pm after a loss instead of

807
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: after midnight. I just thought it was funny, right, I

808
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: mean again, the frustration is seething through the keyboard and

809
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: into the social media stratosphere. UM like it nice? Really good? Next?

810
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: Nothing to disagree about? When your own head coach says

811
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: this team doesn't deserve to play on national television, He's

812
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 1: not wrong. I just at Fresh Prince. What has made

813
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: coach Maroon think that this team should play on national television? Well?

814
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: What was so great was he has asked the question

815
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: and he didn't even There wasn't even a second of pause.

816
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: It was nope, does your team deserve to play? No,

817
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: does not deserve to play? Agree? Nothing to disagree about.

818
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: We agree with that. Um, here's one when you and

819
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: wife travel all the way from England the day after

820
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: your wedding to catch his Sunday night football game in

821
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and the Jacks get flexed out and you will

822
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: completely miss the game. Oh boy, we feel for you.

823
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: We met him in London. He's a great Jaguars fan.

824
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: He's a great Jaguars fan. This stinks for him, it does.

825
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's going to miss it. Maybe

826
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: his plane didn't land until that morning. I don't know

827
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: whether he can change. Apparently not. And you know how

828
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: it's not like the airlines are all that friendly when

829
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: it comes to fees. I know I made a mistake

830
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: a month ago on that. Um we agree, stinks. We

831
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: feel free, you man, you know we were again we

832
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: were being flippant yesterday. Hey, you know a one o'clock

833
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: game is a lot easier on all of us broadcast,

834
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: absolutely because you're not here until four in the morning,

835
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: then turning it right around and coming and doing a show.

836
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: The reality of it is for guys like this who

837
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: had put plans and made plans for the fan base,

838
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: it's not fun. It is not fun. We agree on that.

839
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: As we said, it's about the money, it's about TV.

840
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: So uh, there's one more special agree to disagree for you, Ashlyns.

841
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: Happy they make up their minds. You know who a

842
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: Blincoln that I don't think he really has a Twitter handle.

843
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: I just kind of came up with it on my own,

844
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: but I saw that this morning and I thought it

845
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: was worth adding. Most people are usually as happy as

846
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: they make up their minds to be. So as we

847
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: leave a really disgruntled agree to disagree, understand folks, there's

848
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: eight games to play. Leonard Fernette is coming back. D J.

849
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: Hayden is coming back. You're getting some guys back there.

850
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: They are working this week, shuffling things up, trying to

851
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: find a way to get their toe back in the

852
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: water on this thing. There's plenty of motivation if they

853
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: didn't have it before. The Titans win last night is

854
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: a notch that you now have to try to climb into.

855
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: You've got the situation with the Flex game. Hey, choose

856
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: to be happy and see if this week doesn't turn

857
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: around the next one side, it's all over. Let the

858
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: angst out again. But I think ay B Lincoln's right

859
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: on that one. Great. You can choose to be happy,

860
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: and we definitely have seen this team working to make

861
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: this fan base happy. Well, it's easy to be unhappy.

862
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: It is really easy to be unhappy. But if you

863
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: walk around and all you are is unhappy, you're just

864
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: unhappy and good. All right, that has agreed to disagree.

865
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: How about a couple of quick headlines and we'll take

866
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: a break, bringing Jeff Loghman and get some thoughts on

867
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: what he's seen from the tape and looking forward to

868
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck on Sunday Um first headline out of the gate.

869
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: No real surprise here. Jerry Jones has never changed head coaches.

870
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: I should take that back once when he fired Wade

871
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: Phillips in two thousand and ten after one and seven

872
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: starts and hired Jason Garrett. Garrett is seventy and fifty eight,

873
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: two trips to the playoffs and one playoff win. You

874
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: saw that stadium. You understand the whole mystique of the

875
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys thing. They're not winning. It's driving Jerry Jones crazy.

876
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: They sent the first round pick to Mari Cooper, last

877
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: to the Raiders for Marie Cooper. They fired Paul Alexander,

878
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach. But Jones said last night after

879
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: a disheartening second half loss, the other thing that's really

880
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: killing him right now and them is that they blew

881
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguars out of the water and since then have

882
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: lost two in a row. Right So here they are,

883
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: right here, they are thinking, all right, got something going,

884
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: you know, find Dank Prescott a weapon, not so much.

885
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: Not going to change coaches no matter what the situation

886
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: is in Dallas. Up next, there's a former Cowboy. Uh.

887
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: He was released in April, right former All Pro wide

888
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: receiver is reportedly working out today for the New Orleans Saints.

889
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: Now there's some connections. Sean Payton worked for Jerry Jones,

890
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: was there in Dallas. Um mostly though, and this is

891
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 1: about the Saints. They have Michael Thomas, who was seventy catches.

892
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: It's been sensational. Their next receiver has twelve, right, they

893
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: have nothing else. They Alvin Kamara is a is a

894
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: guy that they can throw to the tight ends, a

895
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: guy they can throw too. But they need more helping

896
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver, so they're bringing in des Bryant for a

897
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: workout today. His number reportedly in the spring was excessive,

898
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: not sixteen point five, which is what he was going

899
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: to make in Dallas this year, but he wanted to

900
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: be paid, you know, ten eleven, twelve million bucks. So

901
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: at this point it would be interesting to see the

902
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: chance to come play with Drew Brees with a contender,

903
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, will he come in and play for a

904
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: million bucks? Two million bucks? And I saw Jane Slater

905
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: from NFL Network tweet out that regardless of the decision

906
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: today to bring in does Bryan or not, that Michael

907
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: Thomas is obviously still your number one guy. Because he's

908
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: been playing lights out. Yeah, there's just there's no comparison

909
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: for that guy. He is right now the best wide

910
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: receiver in football. But I just think it's start with

911
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: it with he's got seventy catches, the next receiver receiver

912
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: has twelve. Right, what a drop off, huge drop off.

913
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: So that's why they're looking there. Uh. And finally, you

914
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: may have seen the tweet yesterday that kind of sparked

915
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of fire across Twitter, and that was

916
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: Farewell Miami, which was Levan Bell's tweet. He's been working

917
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: out down in Miami while he's been holding out from Pittsburgh.

918
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: And the question is, why is he gonna come and

919
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: play for five million bucks right when he wouldn't play

920
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: for fourteen and a half million bucks? Right Why? Now, Well,

921
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: he's got a report by next Tuesday, otherwise he can't

922
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: play for the rest of the season. He's got to

923
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: be in by the thirteen otherwise, by the terms of

924
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: the Collective bart In Agreement, he has to sit. So

925
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: clearly he doesn't need the money, but he does get

926
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: the accruede year and then you know, whatever happens after that.

927
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: The Steelers have said they're committed to using the transition

928
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: tag on him next year, which would pay him somewhere

929
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: between nine and ten based on how all the average

930
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: salaries work out, and then he could go and solicit

931
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 1: an offer from another team, which the Steelers could either

932
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: match or let him walk and get compensatory picks um.

933
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: But he still hasn't shown up. He's obviously not playing

934
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: this week because they play on Thursday night against Carolina.

935
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: So Levian bell story has been incredibly interesting. Not since

936
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: Chris Jenkins back in the early days, early early days

937
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: of free agency have we seen a guy sit on

938
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: this much money for this long trying to make his

939
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: point that he wants to go and get the big

940
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: deal and be healthy. After season after season of more

941
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: than three touches. He played Chicken, and I love that

942
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: he's tweeting it out the question did he win or

943
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: did he lose? Right? It depends on him. Right, If

944
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: he thinks he won, he won. He's got money in

945
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: the bank, and he's got half a season, or more

946
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: more than half a season of feeling good. So we'll

947
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: see where it is. That story just won't go away,

948
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: all right. Jeff Loghaman is in the studio he'll come

982
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: Time Tuesday morning, Brian Ashland and Jeff Lockman Um just

983
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: quick your thoughts on the game being flexed and how

984
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: that impacts the guys in the locker room, if they care,

985
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: if they you know, if they don't care. I don't

986
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 1: think they care. I mean they're more worried about trying

987
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: to find a wind than they are. What time they're

988
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: gonna be playing football, And when you're on a four

989
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: game losing strict there's not a whole lot else that

990
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: really matters. Man, reality as you suck and you don't

991
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: deserve primetime game. And you know, and I know a

992
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of people probably don't like to hear that, but

993
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: that's the reality. I thought maybe that the Pittsburgh Steelers,

994
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: just the attraction of them alone might hold the game. Well, yeah,

995
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers, because you know they're not they're not America's

996
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: team quote unquote, but I mean it pretty close. How

997
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 1: many times did you do games in NFL Europe where

998
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: randomly you saw Steelers Jersey. I'm just telling you, I

999
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: did games in NFL europ for a couple of years,

1000
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: and I saw Steelers Jersey everywhere. I don't want every

1001
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: there the world's team. They're close, Yeah, they're they're pretty close.

1002
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: And the world did Pittsburgh grow that many people? Because

1003
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: everybody claims that they're from Pittsburgh. I'm a long time

1004
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh fan. I'm just like, well, but you remember, you

1005
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: don't remember this because this is pre cable television, but

1006
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: you and I do. We grew up in an area

1007
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: where you only saw two or three games on a

1008
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: weekend if you were lucky, if you were lucky, and

1009
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: and one of those games always seem to be the

1010
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: Steelers because they were the best teams. They were the

1011
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 1: best I mean growing up. I mean we're about saying ay, yeah,

1012
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: So in the seventies, the Steelers were dominant, and you're

1013
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: from Virginia and you're here, and I'm from Missouri and

1014
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm here, and then people just spread out and they

1015
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: become Steelers fans. And by the way, you're right about it. Um.

1016
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: I was working out the other day and the girl

1017
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: teaching the class I was a Steelers fan, And I said,

1018
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: why's she's on from Pittsburgh, I says, everybody from Pittsburgh.

1019
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's for God's sakes, but they do. And

1020
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: and of course that rust belt area, you know, that

1021
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: baby boomer generation that was there when the Steelers were winning.

1022
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: You know, they've moved all over the country now and

1023
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: retired in the South. And yeah, and when and when

1024
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was good, I mean a lot of people kind

1025
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: of forget this that in that era of Pittsburgh, you're

1026
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: talking about a depression almost in the in that city

1027
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: and so that that's really what endeared that team to

1028
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: the fans because that was really the only positive thing

1029
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of people's lives in the seventies because

1030
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: the closing of the steel mills and everything else. So

1031
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: I think they have a little bit more significance for

1032
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh Steelers fan that really grew that really grew

1033
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: up in Pittsburgh then maybe a lot of other teams

1034
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: where that they grew up. The wagon is big for

1035
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: that team, but the flex I mean, yeah, you don't

1036
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: deserve to play in primetime when you lose four consecutive games.

1037
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the Chicago Bears who got moved

1038
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: into that slot because now they have the primetime game

1039
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: against the Vikings and then they have to turn around

1040
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 1: and play on Thanksgiving Day in the early game. And

1041
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: so you're talking about a team that gets penalized for

1042
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: being in a big market and being pretty good and

1043
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: it's all about TV. Well, it's it's about TV, and

1044
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: it's about money and it's about ratings, and I get it.

1045
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,479
Speaker 1: That's that's the way it is. And a Jaguars team

1046
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: that has lost four out of their last five or

1047
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: five the last five or whatever it may you end

1048
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: up being. At that point, that's not an attraction. Kind

1049
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: to move on. So how do they not stink on

1050
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: Sunday in Indianapolis? Good question, I'm changing your verbiage a

1051
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: little bit, But how do how do they? How do

1052
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: they not? Can Leonard for Nett and Carlos Hide? Can

1053
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: they be a tandem that gets this offense going? I hope?

1054
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: But you know there's questions of well, I mean hope,

1055
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: I mean because you know here, here's the deal. Have

1056
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: they run the football effectively and and played well as

1057
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: an offensive line no matter who the running back has been. No,

1058
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 1: you know, there's only one running back on the roster

1059
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: right now that has over a four point oh yards

1060
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: per carry average, and that's t J. Yelling at four

1061
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: point one. And every other running back okay, you know

1062
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: I can't count D. D. Westbrook and Blake Bortles is

1063
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: running backs. Everybody every other running back on the roster

1064
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: is sub four point oh. And and look, four point

1065
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: oh is like the Mendoza line. If you're below that,

1066
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: you're not very good. If you're above that, you can

1067
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: be pretty good. And the Jaguars right now don't have

1068
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: anybody but T T J above that. So, and what

1069
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: is Leonard Fournet gonna be when he gets back? Is

1070
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: he gonna be the Leonard four net that is hesitant

1071
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: and very cautious about maybe pulling a hamstring again? Or

1072
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: is he going to be the Leonard four net that

1073
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: looks fearless and fast and healthy and ready to go,

1074
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: ready to prove something, ready to spark this team? I

1075
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: don't know. And will Carlos hide and him be this

1076
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 1: one to punch that you may you know, on paper,

1077
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: it looks like that could happen. Well, it seems like

1078
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: you need it to happen, just because you don't want

1079
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: to overstress the hamstring early on when he gets back,

1080
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to overdo it. You need you need

1081
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: some kind of spark. And you hope that that's it

1082
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: on offense because right now they don't have any other

1083
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: way to kind of solve the problems that they have.

1084
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: And and the problem is is that they really haven't

1085
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: scored many meaningful points in the first half in a

1086
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: long time. So, uh, I'm hopeful I'll leave it that

1087
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: as the offense. But the reality is that the defense

1088
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: has parts in place that are pretty dark on good

1089
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: now they just need to play better. So how does

1090
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: the running game help them? Keeps them off the field,

1091
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: gets them excited? But hey, look, you know our offense

1092
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: is actually doing something. It gives them positive reinforcement for

1093
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: their efforts on the defensive side of the ball. A

1094
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: lot of people say, well, you know they're professions. Well yeah,

1095
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: but they're humans. They're human. You know, you gotta have

1096
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: a little encouragement for Okay, what you're doing is going

1097
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: to result in something positive for everybody. And if you

1098
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: play your rear end off to use a clean term there,

1099
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: then it's not gonna be all for not. And so

1100
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: I think a good offensive running game that is effective

1101
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: early in the ball game encourages everybody, coaching staff included,

1102
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: because if you're if you're a coach and you're trying

1103
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: to call plays and you can't run the ball worth pooh,

1104
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: and you can't throw the ball worth pooh, we appreciate.

1105
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 1: Are you confident? Doug Lessons in watching his language in

1106
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: front of the did you hear him? Yes, he doesn't

1107
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: do a very good jobs, not doing very good. Yes,

1108
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: I love him. He doesn't Yeah, I know he wasn't

1109
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: very good. Um, another guy coming back d J Hayden,

1110
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: what do you see as that impact and Tyler Patman

1111
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: as well, because you went into the game in London

1112
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: with Trey Herndon and Quentin Meeks and I thought they

1113
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job them for rookies. I mean, look,

1114
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: they did Okay, they weren't the reason why that this

1115
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: team lost or anything. But DJ's physical nickelback. He gives

1116
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: them the ability to blitz I think, which Tyler Patman

1117
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: is not a very effective blitzer, so he can be

1118
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive. He's a little more physical

1119
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: in versus the running game. It also gives you the

1120
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: ability to not have Ronnie Harrison playing that nickel package

1121
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: as much. Maybe you can do some things with him elsewhere. Uh,

1122
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: that gives you more flexibility as a defense. So I think,

1123
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, look, another good player back, a couple of

1124
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: good players back that you know the question now, I

1125
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: think when you look at the defense, what's gonna happen

1126
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: with Dante Fowler being gone? Now? How do you replace

1127
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: his twelve to eight teen reps a game? You know

1128
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: Laurenti mccraig. Look, he can do it. He's done it,

1129
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: and he's shown that he can do it at a

1130
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: very good level. The question is is now you have

1131
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: to have him playing maybe defense, and what does that

1132
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: do to the quality of his special team's record. He

1133
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: is a key special teams special teams captain and so

1134
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: what does that do there? I don't know. So maybe

1135
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: they strike a balance and that mccraig takes some of

1136
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: those reps that Dante normally would have had. And and

1137
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: also maybe you have somebody active for the first time

1138
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: this year. Who's the third round pick? And third round

1139
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: picks you usually expect to be starters? Uh out there,

1140
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm and I'm not throwing a name

1141
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: out there because look, I don't know. We're just talking

1142
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: about a third round pick defensive end. Okay, that because

1143
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: you don't need a name on it. A third round

1144
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: pick defensive end in his second year you expect him

1145
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: to a third round pick to will be an eventual starter. Well,

1146
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: I think last year they were high on this third

1147
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: round pick and he hasn't been active yet this year,

1148
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: so it smooth. I'm not gonna say it because it

1149
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the name is. What matters is he's

1150
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: a third round pick defensive end that hasn't been active

1151
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: yet this year. I get it. Okay, you've got a

1152
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: good defensive line, but you know what, third round picks

1153
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: are supposed to be of starters by year three at

1154
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: the latest. An observation on him, since I mean you're

1155
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: not saying his name, but I am so, the guy

1156
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: who shall not be named looks like he's gotten heavy.

1157
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: He looks like he's a big end. Have you noticed

1158
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: that I do know this, and that his diet has changed.

1159
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: Are they trying to bulk him up? I don't know

1160
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: if that they're trying to balk him up or I mean,

1161
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: here's here's the deal. He was small last year, he

1162
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: had he got he gave some effective reps, and he

1163
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: looks bigger now bigger, and I hope it's bigger and

1164
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: in shape, bigger and not bigger and like dragging rear end,

1165
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: not in good shape big. I don't know, we'll see.

1166
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: It just looks big to me. Because if somebody's big,

1167
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: like Mike Perkins and is out of shape, clearly perfect

1168
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars video guy, he's clearly out of shape. He's

1169
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: clearly big, and you know that he couldn't, you know,

1170
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: exercise because I'm looking at him, right now. That's danger

1171
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: you're stepping into dangerous. I can handle anything. I don't doubt. Um.

1172
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: We all know about Andrew Luck as we wrap up here. Um,

1173
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: their defense is talking about playing better. Have you seen

1174
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: the Colts defense yet? And and what do you see

1175
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: from them? Should the Jaguars be able to get first

1176
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: half points this week? Yes? And because I did think

1177
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: they're I think it's a game that offensively, you should

1178
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: feel confident that you can get some things done. Alright,

1179
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: because here's the reality. Jabal Shared is their best player

1180
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: on defense. Anybody in the league could have signed Jabal

1181
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: Shared for next enough in a couple more so than

1182
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: this Leonard kid that they're excited about. Darius Leonard the lineback,

1183
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: he's a he's a rookie linebacker who's got some stats.

1184
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: But watching the last two games, which there's the only

1185
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: two games I've watched so far, I watched them play

1186
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in the Oakland Raiders, and Darius Leonard,

1187
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: this rookie that you're talking about, he looks like he's

1188
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: a solid player. Does he look like a great player? No,

1189
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: Jabal Shared is still I think one of the most

1190
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: dangerous players that they have on that front, they have

1191
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: a rookie that wears number fifty seven and his name

1192
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: is Komoka Toure. He's one of the many other second

1193
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: round picks that they have out of Rutger's He's a

1194
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: pretty effective edge rusher as well. Uh. Inside, they've got

1195
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: some veteran guys. But look, it's uh, I don't want

1196
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: to say it's a pedestrian defense or no name defense,

1197
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: but look it's this is a defense that you should

1198
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: be able to have some really good plays on. All right,

1199
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: and we'll leave it on that. Thanks for time, as always,

1200
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: appreciate you enjoying it. All right, So there's your Tuesday

1201
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: edition of Jags Drive Time. John Osier is back in

1202
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: that seat tomorrow. Oh boy, Uh no, no offense, John.

1203
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to seeing you be ready to work.

1204
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Uh for Joe and for stone Cold in the other room.

1205
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Have a good day.
