It's funny. Brian Knight said 7 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: right out of the gate that this would be a 8 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: non Jalen Ramsey centric show, and boy were we wrong. 9 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: We should have known better, because this statement was released 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: by head coach dugmar Own yesterday afternoon, saying Jalen Ramsey 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: is expecting the birth of his second child and will 12 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: be returning to Nashville to be with his family. Returned 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: date TVD, but flew after team meetings to Nashville to 14 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: be with his family for the birth of his new daughter. 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: Very reasonable. Um, it shows in a sense, just how 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: far we've come in this league. Back in David Williams, 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: former Florida Gator, Great Right missed a game because of 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: the birth of a child, and the former Houston Oiler 19 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: Turn New York Jet was fined a hundred eleven thousand 20 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: dollars by Bud Adams and the oilers, and it was 21 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: called baby Gate. At the time, it was a big deal. 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: You know, should the NFL hold a player out or 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: let him go be with his family? And here we 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: are was that twenties six years later? Now it's just 25 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: absolutely go and do it. Um interesting, I totally agree 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: by the way, he should be with his family. Get 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: two big things so that we can tell people the 28 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: real story here. Yes, sorry, big Thing one is not 29 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: say but actually yes it is. Today the news on 30 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey will get much more into that with Ashton's analysis, 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: but returning to Nashville to be with the birth of 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: his new daughter, Big Thing too is must watch Wednesday. 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: It's become almost a national treasure. We're excited to see 34 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Gardner mint choose press conferences in years. Why so the 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: attempt at broken hand, um, it was like, I mean, 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: that was really the only way for me to get 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: a get a red shirt, you know at the time, 38 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: just to get a medical Um. So I had the 39 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: bright idea to try to break my hand. Um, but 40 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: it didn't work, you know, I guess fortunately, I mean 41 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: I was looking back, it's pretty dumb um. Believe it 42 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: or not, breaking your hand is pretty dumb um. But yeah, 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: that was, you know, but that's that's just I always 44 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: tell people, you know, what would you do to play 45 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: more ball? And that's m damn or anything. Always entertaining. 46 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: And Big Thing three is desperate team. The Broncos are 47 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: o and three for the first time since head coach 48 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: Dug Baron says they don't look like a winless team. 49 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: You guys seeing dangerous? Hell? Yeah, yeah, I mean they're 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: they are. I mean, you're talking about arguably probably the 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: two most dangerous guys you're gonna see on the edge, 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, uh, from any of the teams in the league. 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: You know, ton of respect for hims. So Brad, we 54 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: gotta go all the way back to Big Thing one. 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna dress that much more later on the show, 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: but let's laid out for people, right. So after the show, 57 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: you and I go sit out of the plause out 58 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: there at one of the nice little solar tables and 59 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: we kick around ideas for what the show is going 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: to be. And my first comment to you was, no, Jalen, 61 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: let's let it go right. I mean, it's as we've 62 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: said on the show. It's up to him when he's 63 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: going to be ready to come back and play. The 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars have said, we're not trading you, or at least 65 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: Mr Khan has said, I'm not inclined to trade him. 66 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: So let's let's let's let this thing die for a day, 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: because what more can you say? We just keep saying 68 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: over and over and over. Right, And so I was 69 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: really looking forward to a Jalen less day. Um, and 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: then at seven fifteen last night, here comes the news. 71 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: And look, you and I both knew and and I'm 72 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: assuming that the Mark Longs of the world, right, the 73 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: AP writer and Philip Heilman from The Athletic, John Reid 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: from The Times Union, Mike de Rocco from ESPN, that 75 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: we all knew that Jalen's girlfriend was pregnant. That was 76 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't a secret. It's just not something that you 77 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: need to report on, right, It's not everyone's business. We 78 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: just understood. So this isn't a surprise, or it shouldn't 79 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: be to anyone that he's going to fly back and 80 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: spend time. If there's a coincidence, if there's irony, it's 81 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: that it just happened this week but this is not 82 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean that it's completely reasonable. This is the way 83 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: it is. David Williams is a bygone era. No one 84 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: questions this anymore at all. Yeah, and Jalen can't control 85 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: the timing of this obviously, No. No, I mean unless 86 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: unless we find out that the baby is born in 87 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: three weeks, then it may have been premature. But again 88 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: that's none of our business. Each his own. Yeah, he understands, 89 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, where his family is at at this point. 90 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: He's making the right decision for himself, and the Jaguars 91 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: are saying, go and take care of it. It just 92 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: so happens that in a sense, it's the building, not 93 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: not the outside world, not the Twitter sphere for sure, 94 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: but it's giving the building a chance to take a 95 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: deep breath and not have the Jalen issue, you know, 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: right in the middle of everything right now. Yeah, because 97 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: if we have to assume where we have no idea 98 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: when he's coming back but probably not playing on Sunday. 99 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: You have no idea when the baby's if she's in 100 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: labor or anything. But it does give you kind of 101 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: a break of the distraction, as we like to call it. 102 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: Jalen's never missed a game, And even though yesterday there 103 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: was the hamstring in the back, I still thought he 104 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: might play. You know, I didn't know where the girlfriend 105 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: and the baby and all of that kind of worked 106 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: into it. But I still in the back of my 107 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: mind thought, this guy loves football. He is a top competitor. 108 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna want to play when the time comes to play. Now, 109 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: obviously that seems all but impossible that, you know, missing 110 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: practice and not even being here, that he's just gonna 111 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: get on a plane and fly to Denver and suit 112 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: up on Sunday. Right. Um, Stranger things have happened, But 113 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: I would imagine that is not the kise. That would 114 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: be just the tip to this week if that happens. Yeah, unfortunate. 115 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: In the twenty four plus, I mean used to when 116 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: when Fox and CNN, right before the twitter sphere got 117 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: heavy in the early two thousands, twenty years ago, Um, 118 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: we started talking about a twenty four hour news cycle 119 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: because you just had twenty four hour cable news going 120 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: all the time. Gosh. I mean, now it's magnified by 121 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: Instagram and Twitter and there's probably another social media platform 122 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I've never even heard of. It's just constant, constant, constant, constant, 123 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: So are they really getting a break from all this? Yeah, 124 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: not really, because they're young people and they're on their 125 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: mobile devices and they're following along too. But for a 126 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: brief a few hours yesterday, we thought we're just gonna 127 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: deal with the Jaguars and the Broncos. Uh No, we're not. 128 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: We're not until this whole thing is resolved. And I 129 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: think it's It's different because when Jalen had in Bril 130 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: and his girlfriend had their first baby, Brie, it was 131 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: very publicized on their part. It was all over Instagram 132 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: the pregnancy and everyone was so happy for them. This 133 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: they've kept very quiet for their own reasons, for sure. 134 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: So a lot of people are surprised at all. This 135 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: just kind of sprung about. But the Jaguars have known 136 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: about this for quite some time. Absolutely, Again, we all 137 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: found out in the spring. I forget how it was 138 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: even brought up some of us, but it's again, this 139 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: is no surprise. We've known about this. They've known about this, 140 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: no big deal. Yeah, but some people it's like, whoa 141 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: do they just did Jalen just tell them about Well, 142 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: because people are used to again, I'll go back, they're 143 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: used to turning on their phone and and thinking they 144 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: know everything. And Jalen is one of those guys who's 145 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: used his Instagram and his um, his Twitter to share 146 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: details whether it's his workout or you know, being a 147 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: dad or travel or whatever it is. And so people 148 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: think they know um. And then when you pull back 149 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: on that, people are surprised by that. So I gotta 150 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: go to the minshew thing um again. I'll go back, 151 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, pre Twitter spear days, right, and I talked 152 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: about David Williams before David Williams back when I was 153 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: college senior, um that we didn't have the Internet and 154 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: all of this stuff going. And Mike Dicker was the 155 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: coach of the Chicago Bears, flamboyant personality that he was. 156 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: I can remember the entire newsroom at Casey TV, the 157 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: CBS affiliate in Kansas City, crowding into one of the 158 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: edit bays when Mike Ditka's press conference was fed down 159 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: the satellite service, right back when it wasn't just here 160 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: there everything at your fingertips, and people they waited to 161 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: hear what crazy things Mike Ditka would say after a 162 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: Bears game. I felt the same way yesterday's people crowded 163 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: into our area over here to watch Gardner Minshew, and 164 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I think for a little while it 165 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: was that way with Jalen Um, but it didn't last 166 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: very long because Jaitalen got sullen and quiet and didn't 167 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: talk as much. Minshoe is it must watch Wednesday. And 168 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: when he steps up and says anything to play more ball? Oh, 169 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a great nugget. I used it 170 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: an inside a minute. It was all over social media. 171 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: You know, we used it this morning. It he's the guy. 172 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: You just don't know what he's gonna say. And I 173 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: was reading the stories from the Denver Post this morning 174 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: and they're all talking about how they said, Hey, what 175 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: are your memories of playing in bold or last year 176 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: and beating the Buffalo seven? I remember, we should have 177 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: beaten the worse. I mean, it's just things that the 178 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: scripted answers that were so used to hearing. And that's 179 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: great for the locker room. I understand that. But he 180 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: does not have that, and I don't think he ever 181 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: will know the scripted Taylor cookie cuttery answers. That the 182 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: more I watched him, the more I listened to him, 183 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: the more I learned about him, the more I think 184 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: the drag Wars have found a guy that they can 185 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: I get with foals here and all that dead money 186 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: and the plan that they had. Who knows how they 187 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: use him. Um, but he's a gem, an absolute gem. 188 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: In the sixth round, there's a story and it's again 189 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: it's it's it's out, it's Twitter and CBS Sports. Did 190 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: I hate giving a credit? Yeah, the spear um, but 191 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: it's a CBS Sports story of Minshew first person told 192 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: when he was getting ready before the draft down in Boca. 193 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: And you've seen it, and a lot of you may 194 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: have seen it. If not, go look for it. It's 195 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: really it will give you even more appreciation for who 196 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: the guy is. Yeah, it's fun, just very true, honest, 197 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: before he even knew where he was getting draft or anything, 198 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: just the process of working towards it was it was 199 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: cool to see he might be the perfect combination right 200 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: now of both sizzle and steak. And I was talking 201 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: to Chris Connelly in the locker rooms today. He says, 202 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: you hope he stays like that forever, And he said 203 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: a lot of guys have been encouraging him stay off 204 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: social media, turn off your phone. Don't believe in the 205 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: hype anybody who will stand in a jockstrap and let 206 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: people take pictures of them postgame from Washington State. Um, 207 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to change. Yeah, it doesn't 208 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: seem to be a j boy is the locker next 209 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: to him, and he was telling me yesterday. I walked 210 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: up and we're talking and he says, you know what 211 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: gardners um postgame? You know, routine, routine is. I said, oh, yeah, 212 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: I've heard. I thought we were going the drop strapping. 213 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to go there, like I've heard. Yeah. 214 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: He goes, no, no, no. He actually sits pregame and 215 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: postgame and watches Netflix shows to calm himself down. Like really, 216 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, he just sat there for an hour 217 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: before the game and watched and watched Netflix, any particular show. 218 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: He said. He changes it up weekly. And I was 219 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: not expecting that at all, the opposite of what I 220 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: was thinking or where we're going with that conversation. I 221 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: truly appreciate the freethinker mentality.

Ryan, how's it going, good, Good morning, 254 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Good to join you guys. Hey, Ry, Before we get 255 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: started with the Broncos, you, um, you and Jalen were tight, 256 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: or at least you had moments where you sparred in 257 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: the locker room. I can remember a moment in Tallahassee 258 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: when we were out there, uh for a workout. Uh. 259 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: You're just your perspective from you know, two thousand miles 260 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: away and five thousand feet in the air of the 261 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: whole jail in story coming out of Jacksonville right now, Well, 262 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: you know the drama part of it, and it is 263 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: a drama. Is not surprising because throughout his career has 264 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: always been something And I guess from a football perspective, 265 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: I had this. I think from the Ramsey have they 266 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: misplayed it in terms of I think the player made 267 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: an emotional request and the agent listened to him instead 268 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: of saying, hey, maybe cooled down for a couple of days, 269 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: let me talk to management, see what's going on. Um, 270 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: you know you can make a trade, de man, but 271 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: they don't have to trade. Yes, that's where we're at 272 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: right now. You know, I don't know if it's a stalemate. 273 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't think anything has to give right now, but 274 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: you know the law. If they lose this week and 275 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: then lose next week, you know, maybe the pressure, maybe 276 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: the pressure will be turned on then they can move. 277 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting, and you know they have 278 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: no leverage because the Jaguars control his rights with the 279 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: franchise tag, you know through and I'm with you, I 280 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: think they misplayed it. It looks like a typical business 281 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: type standoff and Jalen's gonna lose that when he's sitting 282 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: across the table from shot Khan. Although you know the 283 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: thought is is that shod is negotiable on this and reasonable. 284 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: So you know, we'll see where it goes. But I'm 285 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: sure you've been asked about it endlessly since he first 286 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: made it more than a week ago. Yeah. I have 287 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: a lot, and I've given you know, some different opinions 288 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: as more news has come out. But I think a 289 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: key part was last Thursday with this podcast where he 290 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: basically acknowledges that his problem is with the management. Okay, 291 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: that sort of gives Doug Maron a little bit of 292 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: leeway here and say, hey, I gotta run my team. 293 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: I have to run him in the fifty three other 294 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: and fifty two other guys. I'll let management and him 295 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: spar off to the side. Well, I know you well 296 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: enough to know that you have a strong opinion having 297 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: covered this league as long as you have. What does 298 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: Ryan o'hllerin say should happen, Well, I would let it 299 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: play out. I mean, let's say that Jaguars do go 300 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: to do go to Denver and went on Sunday. Okay, 301 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: you're tuned too in a division that is average, so 302 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: you're right in the mix. Um, you know, so the 303 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: trade deadliness October twenty nine, if his behavior gets to 304 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: a point where it's it's you have very little option 305 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: to move them, then do that before the trade dead on. 306 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: As the DeLine gets close to the chems, maybe will 307 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: in the part with more in terms of picks or 308 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: even a player. So but if I had a lay 309 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: five bucks on the table right now, I would say 310 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: he's a jar for the rest of the year. Yeah, 311 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that one. I don't see this moving. 312 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: And somebody suggested to me. I did a radio show 313 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: and someone suggested to me that the cost would go 314 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: down as we got closer to the deadlines. That will 315 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: hold on. Now they don't have to trade him. That 316 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: that's what people are missing here. He's not going to 317 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: be a free agent next year. It's not like the 318 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney thing where the Texans came out essentially empty 319 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: handed with only a third round pick for one of 320 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: the better defensive linemen in the league. It isn't that situation. 321 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: They've got the ability to move it on. But let's 322 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: move on. And I have to ask you, and I'm 323 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: not sure if people around the league, at least in Jacksonville, 324 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: understand that the Broncos have one of the great fan 325 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: bases in professional football. So you tell me, you know 326 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: what is Orange Nation saying about the O M three 327 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: start because they're used to a much higher standard out there. Yeah, 328 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: and they are, and this is not great. This is 329 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: the first time in twenty years or oh and three 330 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: that was the year after John Elway retired, and over 331 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: the last four or five days since the Green Bay loss, 332 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: that's who most of the criticism has been pointed at. 333 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: You know, John is now the GM, and you know 334 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: I get emails every day from Bronco fans just saying 335 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: I like John Elways the player, I don't like him 336 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: as the GM. They gotta make a change. Well, there's 337 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: one problem. There's no owner, and so the all the 338 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: is anybody in the building who's gonna fire John Elway. 339 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: But today, this week is a key game. Um, I 340 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: think the j Wuars have more better players. But if 341 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: the Broncos losing dropped the Owen four going to the 342 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: Chargers next week, then maybe the Broncos should look at 343 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: their roster and say, Okay, what kind of value do 344 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: Chris Harris and Emmanuel Sanders have on expiring contracts? So 345 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: the Broncos can maybe kick start a little bit of 346 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: a rebuild here, because that's what they need to do. 347 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: The defense has yet to get a sack this season, 348 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: and that's very unlike them. And we were talking in 349 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: locker room and they say they couldn't believe it. The 350 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: lock of the Jaguars locker room. What is it about 351 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: that defense and what needs to change this week? Well, 352 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: in those facts and no takeaways, which it could beginning 353 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: the season, they're gonna They're probably thinking, Hey, we're gonna 354 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: be able to stop people while the offense finds its way. 355 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: We haven't been able to do that. A couple of 356 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: factors into their pass rush. Von Miller, Bradley Chup. Obviously, 357 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: you lead players, but you got to get a lead, 358 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: gotta force teams to pass, you have to stop the run, 359 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: you have to get in the third and long. Broncos 360 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: are doing none of those things. They've led for eleven 361 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: minutes combined in three games. So teams have been able 362 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: to be balanced, being able to run it on third 363 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: and short, keep the drives going. So I think that one. 364 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: It's also falls on the offense been terrible in the 365 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: first half this year. If they can find a way 366 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: to get a lead, get the crowd in the game, 367 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: maybe that pass rush can finally get going. What is 368 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: it about the offense that they can hang their hat on? 369 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it Philip Lindsay alone, Well, him and 370 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: Royce Freeman, the two second year running backs are producing. 371 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to say they're doing one 372 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: thing good, they do keep possession. Uh. They added for 373 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: over thirty five minutes in Green Bay. The other day. 374 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: They only scored two offensive touchdowns against Chicago. They were 375 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: in seventy six plays and had twenty seven first times. 376 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: They only scored one touchdown. So they're very methodical because 377 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: they're not making a lot of big plays. But I 378 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: think if you had the point, the one thing coming 379 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: out of the Green Bay game is that, hey, they 380 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: did put Lindsay and Freeman both tailbacks. They they put 381 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: them on the field together for several staffs to try 382 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: and create different look and I would expect that to continue. 383 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: So if you had the name two guys, I would 384 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: go with those two. So back to the beginning here, 385 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: and that's John Elway. You mentioned that if they were 386 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: to lose against Jacksonville, and they obviously they have to 387 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles and take on a Chargers team 388 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: that is good, even if the record doesn't suggest it. 389 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: Who in the building gets to decide, with the lack 390 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: of Pad Boland in the ownership situation being in flux, 391 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: who gets to decide if the Broncos pull the plug 392 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: and start the rebuild. They always leaves that charge show all. 393 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: This is president CEO. I think if there's a situation 394 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: where a team calls you about von Miller, that's where 395 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: everybody gets involved because he is such an organizational face. Uh. 396 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: I think that would make perfect sense at this point. 397 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: But I'm not sure what Bond's value is because of 398 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: his contract, in his age, his lack of production so far. 399 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: So you know John will lead that charge. But then 400 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: the next big decision is going to be at mid season. 401 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: Drew Lock, the rookie quarterback, is on I R right 402 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: now with a risk injury. He's eligible to play in 403 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: Week nine. If this team is you know, two and six, 404 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: one in five, do you try and find what law 405 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: can do so you say, okay, he's our guy in 406 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,479 Speaker 1: or we're gonna dip our toe back into the quarterback 407 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: pool in the draft. More rookie quarterbacks could imagine that. Well, 408 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: they're having success so you love in life in Denver. 409 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: You're enjoying it. Yeah, it's it's it's a different meaning. 410 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: I like having seasons, so it's it's nice having a 411 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: fall and some winter and a manageable summer. But uh, 412 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, uh, Jacksonville is a great experience for me, 413 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: but personally professionally, so it's gonna be good to see 414 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: a lot of people on Sunday. Yeah, we're looking forward 415 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: to it. Ry, thanks so much for your time this morning. 416 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: All right, take care it on.

And the one thing I keep 456 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: thinking is when is he going to show his rookie side? 457 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean they all do at some point. Um. I 458 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: hope it's not the next couple of weeks because there's 459 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: an opportunity with the way the schedule rules out. Uh. 460 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: It's tough to go in in Denver, but the jag 461 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: Wards have done it two of the last three times 462 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: they've played out there. Of course O seven and O eight. 463 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: It's been a while, Um, but they can win there, 464 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: and they can beat this particular team. I think that 465 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: they can go and win in Carolina. It's tough, but 466 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: they can do it. There's an opportunity of Benshoo continues 467 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: to play well and with the way that this defense 468 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: is playing, for them to be able to take advantage 469 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: of the circumstances the way they're laying out right now. 470 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: You wouldn't been able to say that the day that 471 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Nick Foles got hurt. Rookie quarterback, you know, you got 472 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, you got Cam Newton, Oh my goodness, how 473 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: are you gonna do this? And then all of a 474 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: sudden things seems not guaranteed just you know, I mean, 475 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: look what Kyle Allen did last week in Arizona. However, 476 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: with this defense, it could be a different outcome. So 477 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: we'll see. Uh. I'm trying not to wait for the 478 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: other shoe to drop with the rookie moment. Man, he's 479 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: fun to watch, even more fun to listen to them. 480 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: I was talking to Chris Connolly in the locker room 481 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: and he was telling me and he was getting tired 482 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: of people every week asking him the question about the 483 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and when he's he gonna show his rookie 484 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Sie said, it's time for us to stop him. He's 485 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: given us no reason to doubt him. We need to 486 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: stop calling him the rookie quarterback because he's much more 487 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: than that. Right now, he was sticking up from he 488 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: was tired of the rookie question. Well, but here's rookie 489 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: in the sense that it's the first time you see Um, 490 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: it'll be the first time he sees a lot of 491 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: things on defense, and it's different than it is in 492 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: college football. And that means the guys like um, the 493 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: guy the defensive coaches that we're seeing, you know, fangier 494 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: that we're seeing this week. Um, they can throw a 495 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: lot of different wrinkles that you They're gonna make him 496 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: play different ways. They're gonna take away routes that he likes. 497 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: That slant guaranteed, they try to take that one away 498 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: this week and make him drop the ball against the sidelines. 499 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: That's a tougher throw for him. He doesn't have the 500 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: biggest arm. Now he's shown more zip than we saw 501 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: in the preseason and a lot of accuracy. They're gonna 502 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: make him make all of those throws. That's how he 503 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: beats them. Um. But the rookie thing is simply, Hey, 504 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: it's the first time you know seeing this and seeing that, 505 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: and seeing defensive ends that move like linebackers in college. 506 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: So you know, as you play and game the EXPERI 507 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden everything becomes easier for you. 508 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: Maybe he won't ever show that rookie moment, hope not. Yeah, 509 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: you talked about the sideline throws. You look at the 510 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: chart touchdown throw from last Thursday and then the D 511 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: D Westbrook sideline throw. Those were but I'm talking about 512 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the fifteen yard out now. I mean, 513 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking about that's how and with zip. You have 514 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: to deliver it with zip. We'll see whether he can 515 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: do it or not. They're going to make him try. 516 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: They will take away what he likes to do. You 517 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: have to just ignore it. Joe is going to have fun. 518 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: I know he gets mad when I hit my microphone 519 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: all the time. I just like making him mad, you 520 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: know I don't. All right, let's go around the locker room. 521 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: It's been a pleasant locker room this week, fun music, 522 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: going dancing. DJ Chark wants to keep the moment going. 523 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: Oh you know you can come in and uh, you 524 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: don't have to play the slow tunes on the I Pad. 525 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: You know you play some upbeat songs, but you know, 526 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: be excited going to uh we cool with the win 527 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: DJ chart the past few weeks has been a great 528 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: guy to talk to. When I talked to Mark Kisley, 529 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: he said, I'm still getting on d J Chark about 530 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: the importance of special teams. Now that he's a big 531 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: time and doing all these great things the receiver, he 532 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: can't forget about specialty. No, and the Jaguars need him 533 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: because with his speed and his length. I mean, not 534 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: only is he six ft four, but he's got the 535 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: long arms to go with it. He can defeat blocks 536 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: and make tackles and strip the ball and do things 537 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: they need that. Now, as he climbs into a number 538 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: one role, he won't be playing special teams like he does, 539 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: but right now they still need him. Yeah, And he said, 540 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: Joe d will never let me forget the importance of 541 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: special teams. If Judy never lets anyone yeah forgetting he 542 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: can go four years without playing special teams. I'm surprised 543 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: he's not breaking through this wall like the kool Aid 544 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: man right now. All right, so we've heard Dune Rowan 545 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: say that this Denver team does not look like their own. 546 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: Three locker room has the same feeling, including unique and 547 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: Dockway a team like that, you know, I'm feeling up 548 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: in there, Abody. You know I was in that position, 549 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years ago, being on the team. 550 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: We're not such a good record, So I fled. They're 551 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: trying to find their identity right now and they'll come 552 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: out and do anything. We really trying to try to 553 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: win a game. I asked a few guys about the 554 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: feelings about the game, and no one really said I'm 555 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: really confident. Everyone had a kind of an uneasy feeling 556 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: because they knew they were going to get the Denver's 557 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: Bronco's best shot. Well, you're getting a desperate team, is 558 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: rhino Halloran mentioned, as John likes to say, and desperate 559 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: teams playing at home with their back against the wall. Um, 560 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, take all the cliches aside. There's plenty of 561 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: talent there. And if you're not entirely focused and see 562 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: that's what players know. They can sit and watch the 563 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: tape and see where a matchup fits them. They're not 564 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: going to say that in the locker room, oh hey, 565 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this, and that they can see where 566 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: they can have an advantage based on personnel and matchups. 567 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: But they also understand that fifty three men on a roster, Um, 568 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 1: they've got to be good to be there, right when 569 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: you have some guys at the bottom of the roster 570 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: that can be replaced. But for the most part, there 571 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: are guys on the Broncos roster that are capable of 572 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: making plays and making these guys look silly. And they 573 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: know that. So. Um. One of the things that experience 574 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: teaches you, right is never be surprised at the outcome 575 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: of an NFL game because anything can happen. Anything can happen. 576 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: All right, Finally we know Minshu mania is everywhere. It 577 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: is in the SLocker room, and it is upon Brandon 578 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: Winder of all people. It's it's crazy. Um, the kids 579 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: got something to him, you know, like I can't put 580 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 1: my finger on it, um, but but the kids got 581 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: something to him. Um. I'm excited for him. Nothing's too 582 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: big for him. The stage isn't too big for him. 583 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: So Minshum mania gone, Baby, it wouldn't be great at 584 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: the offensive line all grew mustaches. They should. I mean 585 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: they've got him now with the whole beard, that shave, 586 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: that go with the look. Get off the get on board. Yeah, 587 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: get off the airplane with the headbands on, right? Why not? 588 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: I never know what, Lenda you're gonna get in locker 589 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: room and that that threw me through a loop. Uche 590 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that one. Now it's interesting too the 591 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: way that to speak of Brandon Lindar for just a moment, 592 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: he and Blake Bordles were best of friends. They were 593 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: together all the time, and Blake goes and one of 594 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: the first people and it's the center. I get that, um, 595 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: But Nick Fools is talking in the spring about Linda 596 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: and how Linda has been helpful and what a great 597 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: guy he is and how he keeps things on target. 598 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: Now he is with min show. You like to see 599 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: your center be that guy to grab any quarterback, they 600 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: have to do it as pros, but to enjoy them 601 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: and to become friendly with them. That's it's good for 602 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: Linda absolutely. All right.

Thursday Morning, back 632 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: on Jack's Drive Time, brought to you by Fields Auto Group. 633 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: Wrapping up this Drivetime show someone we haven't talked much about. 634 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: You know Ramsey? You know him? I was wondering. Yeah, 635 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: he's kind of like been in the news lately this 636 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: week once or twice, so the news has kind of 637 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: become in him. Yes. So here is Ashland's analysis for 638 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: this week, and it is we should not put this 639 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: childhood birth of the daughter into the drama that is 640 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: the sweet And here's why Gane for Nett, I hate 641 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: to blast you like this on Drive Time last He's 642 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: used to it. He tweets out about the fiasco that 643 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: is Jalen Ramsay and questioning is Jalen's girlfriend Brilon actually 644 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: in labor or is this just an excuse to get 645 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: away from the team. Tony Cohn, of all people, tweets 646 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: back at him. That is an appalling tweet. Gene, this 647 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: is way out of line. You have no business questioning 648 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: someone's family. And that is the moral of this, is 649 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: that this should not be grouped into what we've been 650 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: seeing the past few days. He's having a baby, his 651 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: second child, a daughter. We can't question the timing, we 652 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: can't question how many days he's supposed to be there. 653 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: This is an excuse to get out of the Jalen 654 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: drama and this should not be questioned. So I'm with 655 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: you on this. Um Monday, when Jalen called in said 656 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: all of us were in the right to question that 657 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: because of the circumstances around it. Then we found out 658 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: later in the day that he had visited with the 659 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: doctor he was legitimately sick. Okay. Um. Then yesterday the 660 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: story comes with the back in the hamstrings. Again, Jalen's 661 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: had some tightness in the hamstrings and back before. This 662 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: is not new and I think maybe he even had 663 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: it last week. But still now it's two days in 664 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: a row, and the timing and the coincidence, Okay, the 665 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: family thing comes along. You just gotta draw the line. 666 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: That's nobody's business whatsoever. M Jean's columnists though, and that's 667 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: what they do. They take swings and they do um 668 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: and so you know, I don't expect him to back off. UM. 669 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: That's you know, that's the media's job to question things, 670 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: and I do I would have done it, especially not 671 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: in this you know Twitter world that exists today, because 672 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna get hammered for it. But that's what columnists do. 673 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: So I would say the family will be left out 674 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: of it from now on. Yeah, And we haven't really. 675 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say we stuck up for Jalen on most 676 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: of this, but for this, I feel like we have 677 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: to because I go back to I didn't off the 678 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: field with him back in training camp. I think it 679 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: was the third week of training camp and we were 680 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: talking about Brian being pregnant and I said, you know, 681 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: do you want to talk about in the interview? Said no, 682 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: for this one, I really wanted to just be my family. 683 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to know. I want to keep 684 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: it in the loop between us. And I thought that 685 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: was totally different because for the first um, daughter Bree 686 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: was all over Instagram, it was all over Twitter. They 687 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: were so excited, but I think they took a step 688 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: back and wanted to really keep this tighten it so 689 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,479 Speaker 1: people to question that. It's like, don't go there. Yeah, 690 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Um. You know, having studied journalism, 691 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: that public figures are the subject of public scrutiny and 692 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: public criticism, and so they kind of have to deal 693 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: with that. And I wonder, because I don't know Jalen 694 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: and I have not had this conversation, I wonder if 695 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: him pulling back part of it is just not wanting 696 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: the scrutiny on his family. He'll take it for himself, 697 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: but not on his family. Yeah. You see that a 698 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: lot with athletes public figures, So don't go near the family. 699 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: Tony doesn't like it. And I understand why Tony would 700 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: want to stand up for one of the players and 701 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: applaud Tony for immediately coming back and standing up. Um, 702 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: but the story that Jean wrote, you know, the tweet 703 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 1: that he put out, that's what Collins do. Yeah, that's 704 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: what the media is forced to question things, and even 705 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: though it's just football and family, it is what it is. 706 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: I have sense Jalen has been able to turn the 707 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: noise off in Nashville, you'd hope. So you'd hope he's 708 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: not on Twitter right now. Now. We were going to 709 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: do something today and I'm greatly disappointed alogize that we're 710 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: not doing it. So I just have to throw this in. 711 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: This is just this is just superfluous, right, but it's 712 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: something that I want you to consider. Okay. So I 713 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: don't think Gardner Minshew will have any trouble with the 714 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: Broncos or the Thin Mountain Air despite being from Mississippi 715 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: and playing in Jacksonville. Do you want to hear more? 716 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: The one year Washington State wonderful. I didn't like calling 717 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: him a one year wonder so I added full there. 718 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: So he's the one year Washington State wonderful. Because if 719 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: you saw any of the social media, yes I'm on it, 720 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: uh last week from Pullman, Washington. The lines were sensational, 721 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: the reaction to him. Did you see the the cougar 722 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: mascot with the mustache? Right? Okay? Um? He had an 723 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: average altitude of victory in his year at Washington State 724 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: New stat average altitude of three of over twenty feet. 725 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: You want to hear more? Okay? So the Cougars played 726 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 1: and fifty two feet in Pullman. And they won games 727 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: last year in Laramie, Wyoming, which is the highest altitude 728 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: in college football at over seven thousand feet, and they 729 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: won Boulder, which sits at feet And when you add 730 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: it all up, there are eleven wins were played at 731 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: an average elevation of seven ft. Right Where am I 732 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: going with this? Okay? Ready? This is simple math. This 733 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: is simple. The Jaguars, by the way, in case you're wondering, 734 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,439 Speaker 1: play there. Sixteen are their home games at sixteen ft. 735 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: We're at sixteen feet right now. We're going to fifty 736 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: one thirty on Sunday. Ready, okay? And for instance, they 737 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: play in Nashville, which is five ft, in Indianapolis, which 738 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: is seven fift ft, and Houston, which sits at eight ft. 739 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: You still follow me, okay, So the average elevation for 740 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: a Jaguars game this year is five seventy ft. Okay. 741 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,720 Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like seven feet, which was his average altitude 742 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: of victory in college, is going to be a problem. Right, 743 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: That makes it all figured out? I do, Yeah, what 744 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: does it all mean? It means I had too much 745 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 1: time on my head. That was a lot of numbers. 746 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: Average altitude victory last year for him seven feet. I 747 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: don't think the altitude is going to be a problem 748 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: at least for government show well. And one of the 749 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: things um the Jaggers learned over the years of going 750 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: out there is if you go out and you're only 751 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: on the ground for twenty four hours, you're less. It 752 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: minimizes the impact of the altitude. Not that you don't 753 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: feel some of it, but it is not like your 754 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: ex asphyxiating yourself with the thin air. You can do 755 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: it if you go twenty four hours or less. Doug 756 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: Moron told us the story in the press conference when 757 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: he was with the Dolphins with Don School and they 758 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: would get off the plane and make them run. Yeah, 759 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: telling Marcel Darius in the lockerroom, you know that's that's 760 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: what coach did. Are you okay? If he asked, he said, 761 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: I'm not running off the plane. I'll get the oxygen 762 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: mask on the sidelines. That everybody finds their own way 763 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: to deal with the altitude, like don't don't sign me 764 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: up for the run. It's like, I'm with you, Marcel. 765 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: I'll stand on the side with you. Are you and 766 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: John Tomorrow? You and John and the coach? Yeah, what 767 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: a group you guys would be great coffee with the coach, 768 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: Doug moro own Me and John Osier. If that doesn't 769 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: make him make you want to watch, I don't know 770 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: what will. I'll watch all right, Jaguars Happy Are and 771 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: Doug Marrown Show later on today, right here on the 772 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network.
