Ryan Sex steps that Jago says, Actually 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: Jaguarris Drive Time starts right now. You love this game. 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: You gotta go out there and play this game like 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: when you were, you know, a little kid, you know 6 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: where no one was watching, no one's around, and you 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: were just as competitive. And it's just as you know 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: and have fun and um, those are the things that 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: you go through, um when you have a season like 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: we have which has been disappointing. Good morning, and welcome 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: to Thursday Drive Time, brought to you by the Fields 12 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: Automotive Group in land Rover on Atlantic here in Jacksonville. 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: A proud member of the Fields Auto Group, Bryan Ashley 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: and Joe Don't Cold all here for you this morning 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: as we get sent for the Jaguars and Redskins on Thursday. 16 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: And I thought Doug's point was well made, and that 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: is Look, you're not playing for the playoffs at this point, 18 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: and you talked about being a pro and playing for 19 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: the check, but it's not the same if you will 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: play for the love of the game as well. Um, 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: I say all the time Pro Bowl, it's about the 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: money it is, which means you come and you play hard, 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: you prepare well every single week. But when you take 24 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: the field, even if there's nothing on the line, even 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: if you're playing a quarterback in Josh Johnson, who last 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: started a game in last played in a game, you 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: act like you're playing Alex Smith. You play like you're 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: playing Joe Tisman. For goodness sake, whoever, whatever it takes, 29 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: you better bring your love with the game. Otherwise it's 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: very visible to people. Oh yeah, and it's very obvious 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: that Doug has a very strong love for the game. 32 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: And that's the first time he's pointed out that this 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: is what this team is playing for right now. He's 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: always talked about being a pro probably the past month 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: or so, but the term playing for the love of 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: the game, that's the first I heard him say that. 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: There's a guy that I work out with in the 38 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: morning who is a Patriots fan, right so he's what 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: is he's forty so half his life, the Patriots have 40 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: won the division, they won five Super Bowls. I asked 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: him the other day, do you understand that most people's 42 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: experience is nothing like yours never will be. You have 43 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: the greatest run in NFL history, and some of their 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: Steelers fan saying, hey, you know what about the seventh 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: it's not the same. It isn't the same. Um. When 46 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady retires the Patriots, if their magic doesn't continue, 47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: and there's you gotta think that's gonna end it something. 48 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: They'll go through this up and down stuff and you're 49 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: gonna have seasons like this. Almost every player goes through this. 50 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: In fact, I've got a headline coming up later in 51 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: the show of a player who's got the opposite side 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: of that, who's never been in the playoffs, and the 53 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: name will surprise you. Um, you must bring it every 54 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: single week. And you guys like Calais Campbell, who played 55 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and who are going through this. 56 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson right, who has played at a very high level, 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: never played in the super Bowl, but has played at 58 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: a very high level in the playoffs, and he's now 59 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: on a team that is he's been through so many 60 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: ups and downs. Absolutely, And that's by the way. Our 61 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: Twitter poll today Jags Drive Time poll on Twitter asked 62 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: you who's the best running back you've ever watched? Now, 63 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: talking to a lot of the players in the locker room, 64 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: younger than Fred. Adrian Peterson's name has come off. Of course, 65 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: some of that is that they're playing their opponent this week. UM. 66 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: For the older set, I put Jim Brown's name in there. 67 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Fred's obviously number one, UM at least on our poll today, 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: and into me and then other you know who else 69 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: is out of Danny and Tomlinson, who set the NFL 70 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: record for most touchdowns in a season with thirty one. 71 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: For running back, maybe Todd Durley is the guy who's 72 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: having an amazing season out in Los Angeles or the Rams. 73 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: We're asking you, who is the best running back you 74 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: have ever watched? If my grandpa's watching, he's going Jim Brown. 75 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: He's a huge Browns fan and he grew up tell 76 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: me all about well Jim Brown. And Jim Brown was 77 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: retired before I was born, so I never watched him, 78 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: but I understand he's probably the greatest player to ever 79 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: play the game. And people are going, what, let just 80 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: do a little research on that one. Grandpa Sullivan, that's 81 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: his vote there? You go? Alright? You yeah, texted me 82 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: telling me he needs to vote. Uh, let's get the 83 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: big things, all right. Philosophically speaking, is big thing when 84 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: we were in the locker room yesterday and we were 85 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: reading some articles that said, should the Jaguars wipe out 86 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: their completely offensive system of running the ball pounding the ball, 87 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: or should they go with a new approach and get 88 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: a power running or a power quarterback and offensive weapons. 89 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: So we asked the guys in the locker room what 90 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: they thought of sticking with the system or creating a 91 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: completely new one. You know, I was, I was, you know, 92 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: in here all we can watching film and um, you know, 93 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: getting right for this week. And we had you know, 94 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: a little practice Monday, which we normally don't, but it 95 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: went a lot more you know, I think it went 96 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: a lot more fluid and and was better with that 97 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: weekend off because you kind of got to get a 98 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: jump starting everything. I think the guys, you know, we've 99 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: got a good group of guys in the locker room, 100 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: and uh, I think we just gotta put it all together, 101 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: keep working hard, you know, listening to the coaches, you know, 102 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: getting our books, you know, the game plan, and go 103 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: from there. We'll get down in the red zone. We're 104 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: just not scoring a lot um and so you take 105 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: some of those missed opportunities and you know, you're you 106 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: can put more points on the board. We just you know, 107 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: missed a lot of opportunities in the red zone. I 108 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: think if we can, you know, try to get create it. 109 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: It's supposed to play, which means you gotta do you know, 110 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: loving guys have to do their job, you know, then 111 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: you have better opportunity to score. You know, there's this 112 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: narrative out there that the Jaguars are running this archaic 113 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Caveman era offense um and it's just not so. Now. 114 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: They may look like it because they don't have the 115 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: receivers that are blazing down the field and getting open. 116 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: And Leonard for Net, has not been on the field, 117 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: and the offensive line is beat up. But when you 118 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: look at the Rams, when you look at the Chargers, uh, 119 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: to an extent, the Bears, it's all based on running 120 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: the ball with power, using play action, and throwing the 121 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: ball down the field. The Rams are the best example 122 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: of it. But even look at the Saints, right and 123 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: I get it. Drew Brees is a wizard with the 124 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: ball in his hands in the pocket, and Sean Payton 125 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: has a lot of very clever and creative routes and 126 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: ways to get guys open. But you've heard of Atlin 127 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: Kamara right and market right. Um, that's a two headed 128 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: monster and the threat of the run keeps everything in 129 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: front of Drew Brees. The system that they have here 130 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: needs to be refined. Tom Coughlin would tell you that, 131 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: despite his ardent support two weeks ago when he was 132 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: on the radio here locally in Jacksonville talking about belief 133 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: in the system. If the Mahomes thing, that is the outliar, 134 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: and I get it. Every you know, everybody wants to 135 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: think that that's what's coming in the NFL. But look 136 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks at what defense has done. Um, 137 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: did you see that the Bears uh? Not not the Bears. 138 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: The Saints struggled big time, struggled mightily. They got beat 139 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: by Dallas uh And until the third quarter they weren't 140 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: doing anything. Defense was having an impact on that game. 141 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: They couldn't score because of the defense. Bears defense Sunday 142 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: Night against the Rams and this when the weather gets 143 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: cold and the ball gets heavier and slipperier, more slippery, 144 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: get the game changes. It goes back to those fundamental principles. 145 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: You're if Kansas City has to throw the ball and 146 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: score fifty four points. They will lose in the playoffs. 147 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, Arrowhead Stadium can be as frigid 148 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: as any place in the National Football League. Trust me. 149 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: When the wind starts blowing off the Rockies and there's 150 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: nothing to stop it for six hundred miles, by the 151 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: time it gets to Kansas City, it's strong and it's 152 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: cold in January. And by the way, Kareem Hunt is 153 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: not on their roster anymore. Right, Spencer Ware is now injured. 154 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: You have town. You are not going to be able 155 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: to throw the ball every single play and expect to win. 156 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: There's an outlier there with what they're doing, and it 157 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: looks brilliant, and everyone knows Andy Reid is one of 158 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: those great offensive minds. But this philosophy of run with 159 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: power play great defense is absolutely a bedrock principle that 160 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: will never be caveman. Can you run it better? Yes? Now, 161 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: do you need to mix in a better passing game? 162 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: How do you get there? Well, a a better quarterback 163 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: that's not a system. That's a player. You need better 164 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: bigger receivers. Those are players, not system. Then you need 165 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: to mix in some clever um concepts and things. Yeah, 166 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: that's where you go find an offense to coordinator and 167 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: receivers go, well, you don't need receivers. Coach Keenan's very good, 168 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: very good, but an offensive coordinator that can change those 169 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: things around. It's little tweaks. It's two millimeters, not two 170 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: turns of the wrench that will get you there. It's 171 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: players that fix this thing. It's players, not plays. Yeah, 172 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: it's the system that works. And you go back to August, 173 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: and I hate to bring up the injuries, but you 174 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: go back to August when we saw that three to 175 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: bring up because second about them, but forget them. There 176 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: their excuses. But you go back to August in the 177 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: third preseason game against the Falcons, and we saw the 178 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: three backset and it was clever and it was unique 179 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: and creative. And then you saw Bordle Sauce and Sfarian 180 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: Jenkins and a few passes down the field of receivers 181 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: and it looked like it was working and it looked 182 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: like that clever game plan. And now you can't do it. 183 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: You don't have the weapons to do it, you don't 184 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: have the power to do it. I believe firmly that 185 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett could do exactly. Yeah, you saw him try 186 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: to do it and with the weapons he had, and 187 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: then obviously the weapons perception is a big part of 188 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: the perception was is that he ran this archaic offense. 189 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: It's not true. It's not he ran to the players 190 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: he had. Philosophically speaking, what the Jaguars want to do, 191 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: the players that they have in place, it's the it's 192 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: the foundation that they need. What they need is, as 193 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: we said, some different players and some different concepts in 194 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: the passing game, no doubt, um. But philosophically the ground 195 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: right underneath their feet. It's a solid place to start, 196 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: right And if Tom Coughlin is continuing to be here, 197 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that will still be the system 198 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: if he has saying it. Yeah, one more thing, um, 199 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: I get people now are labeling Doug Moron is running 200 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: this caveman often. But he was with Sean Payton Andrew Bree. 201 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: He knows these guys know what it is. That's not 202 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: the way that they took what they had last year 203 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: because they wanted to win right away and they did 204 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: what they could do. Then, as you would expect, they 205 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: doubled down on it to a degree because they went 206 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: to the a f C championship game, right, and they said, 207 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: we've got this window open, let's go. Dave Caldwell said 208 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: at the combine, we're gonna try to finish this thing. 209 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: They tried. It didn't work. Okay, Now go back around 210 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: and figure out if you get the right quarterback, if 211 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: you get the received 's the offensive line. They absolutely 212 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: need to improve the offensive line. And there's gonna be 213 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: some guys. The right side is gonna be gone. You 214 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: won't have a j Can or Jeremy Parnell here next year. Can. 215 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a free agent Parnell broken down, older 216 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: right tackle, who's gonna million Yeah, goodbye. That's the way 217 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: that this league works. So um, I don't think that 218 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: philosophically have to change everything. A couple of little turns 219 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: on the wrench, a couple of players in there can 220 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: fix this thing. But it is true. In the offseason 221 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: it's going to be heavy offense, springing players. True, and 222 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: you're going to have to to maneuver some things on 223 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: defense with your salary cap because they're over right now, 224 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: they're about thirteen million over the cap next year, and 225 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: right now they've got about seven million they can swing 226 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: back carry over. So you're about six million dollars roughly 227 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: over the cap next year. Well, I think we all 228 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: know Barry Church is not going to be back. There's 229 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: six million right there. Now, you got to eat right now. 230 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: You start moving some guys around and fixing it. You 231 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: can get to a number that you can work with 232 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: from there. But they're going to have to have a 233 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: solid in and they're going to have to find a 234 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: quarterback in the draft and a veteran free agent. See 235 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: what they do, and then stick with the system. Well, 236 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: tweak it. Understand that defense wins championships in January, so 237 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: use the offense to get there in September, October, November. 238 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: Let the defense play all right, big thing too, is 239 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: two years left to prove it. We're talking about Leonard 240 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: Forget for not here, two years left on his rookie deal. 241 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: Let's look at the first two years of his season 242 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: and see how he's done. So two thousand, seventeen, one 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: thousand and forty yards and nine touchdowns, thirteen games played, 244 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: two thousand, eighteen, three and fifty yards, four touchdowns, only 245 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: played in six games, so obviously a draft off this season. 246 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: But because of that injury, you don't really know how 247 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: to compare it because of the hamstring well, and then 248 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: there's been the off the field stuff. Well, the on 249 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: the field stuff, which was the well, there's been some 250 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: knucklehead moves here. And the reason I bring it up 251 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: is Adrian Peterson's coming in and everyone's talking about what 252 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: a great back, what a heritage back. This is a 253 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: guy that we'll talk about for generations coming forward. You 254 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: wonder whether you've got it that in for net. I mean, 255 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: we saw in Buffalo for three quarters what he's capable 256 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: of doing. And there are players around the league that 257 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: feel very strongly about the kind of player that he 258 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: can be, Austin Severe and Jenkins being one of those guys. However, 259 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: he's got two years to prove it. Otherwise you've got 260 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: to draft into the running back. You've got to start 261 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: thinking about how do we have this powered attack, how 262 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: do we build the offense around play action? If he's 263 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: not able to stay on the field, he's been difficult. 264 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: He's a difficult guy to handle, right, And I go back, 265 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 1: maybe this is a question for you. I go back 266 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: to obviously early in Fred's career, where he was difficult 267 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: at times, he was never never what about Adrian Peterson 268 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: because I know he's played in the league for thirteen years. 269 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: Always been a pro from what I know, from the 270 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: beginning to the end. Always been a pro from what 271 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: I know. So then you wonder, he's got two years 272 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: and you see someone like say Kwon Barkley who has 273 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: had no issues. You have two years to prove that 274 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: you are the back. Look. I mean I was one 275 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: of the proponents for them drafting him. You weren't here yet. 276 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: Last year in February, UM we started our show dot 277 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: com Live, and I right out of the gate, draft 278 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: this guy. Draft this guy, draft the player that he is, UM. 279 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: But he hasn't lived up to the number four overall billing, 280 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: not at all. Todd Gurley, on the other hand, who 281 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: is the central focal point of what they do in 282 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: Los Angeles that's so successful, Well, he has lived up 283 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: to the building and he's been on the field, he's 284 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: been able to stay healthy. It is a it's a 285 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: combination thing. Yes, I get the hamstrip, I do not 286 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: take that away from him. However, the way he's handled 287 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: himself in the locker room in the community, he has 288 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: to step up and be that guy. He's got to 289 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: carry more of the load in both respects. He's got 290 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: two years to prove that he is someone that they 291 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: can build around, and he no longer has the repertoire 292 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: of being the rookie and the new guy here and 293 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: excuses of being young and new and you've been here 294 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: almost two years now. He's got to become that feature guy, right. 295 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't know over the last three weeks if you 296 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: see a lot of that, although you hope you do 297 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: so that going into the off season, because let's go 298 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: back to July. He looked tremendous. He did. He came 299 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: back to training camp ready to go, and maybe the 300 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: injury sparked a lot of the other stuff. Who knows. 301 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: But one of the focal points of the philosophy that 302 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: we talked about in Big Thing one is number seven. 303 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: And he has three games this year and then two 304 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: years to prove he is that guy. It is true. 305 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: I keep forgetting to go back to training camp when 306 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: he came back. How many pounds lighter I think it was? 307 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: He was the Yeah, I think that was a bit overstated. 308 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: Guys I talked to, you know, but still like the sea. Yeah, 309 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: it's just two thirty two. But let's mark it down 310 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: at two. Yeah, you know what I mean, there's a 311 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: little bad you want to make yourself yeah, um, but 312 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: no doubt he was focused. Well, he looked at he 313 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: was in great shape. There's no doubt about it. Yeah, 314 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: And it's just to argue with that. But crazy how 315 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: it's turned in just a season. Well, and you know, 316 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: we talked about Jalen Ramsey yesterday and I think Jalen 317 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: has had a terrific mom on the field. In the 318 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: locker room. I mean, you can see him starting to 319 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: blossom into the kind of player and leader that they need. 320 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: In that locker room. He's showing, Um, they need that 321 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: from Leondard now big time. Because last year you had 322 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: those two in a photograph and you said those are 323 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: the guys you can build around those two. Right now, 324 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: you say twenty seven to the guy on offense, he 325 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: needs to take the kind of steps that Jalen has taken. Right, 326 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: But you also looked at that photo at the time 327 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: and said, both of these guys need to grow. We 328 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: move forward. You're young, Yeah, they're young, there's time, but 329 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: it's he's a guy that that the focus will be 330 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: on in the offseason. Absolutely, all right, big thing three 331 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: is rebounders. We're looking at guys who may play elsewhere 332 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: or guys who are going to stay on this roster 333 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: but need to grow into a new role. So, Brian, 334 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: you had a J boy in Brandon Linder as your 335 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: two guys. Two guys, um and look. Boy has had 336 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: a couple of really good games in the last few weeks. 337 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: But even before he had the calf that cost him 338 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, he didn't look like the a 339 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: J boy from last year. Don't know what that was. 340 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: I know he wasn't here in the off season. You 341 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: know he had family issues. I know that he talked 342 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: about that he was dealing with. He didn't share him 343 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: and he doesn't need to. Um. He's a guy that 344 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: needs to go back his His cap number next year 345 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: is over fifth million. He's one of the highest paid 346 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: players on the team. He is one of your best 347 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: defensive players, and they need him to rebound from a 348 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: less than a J boy a caliber season. Last year 349 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: he was a Pro Bowler. This year he's not even 350 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: being mentioned. They need him. The other guy's Brandon Linder, 351 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: who is a talented offensive lineman, one of the more 352 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: highly paid offensive lineman in the game. One point is 353 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: the highest paid center in the game. Um, they need 354 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: him to rebound it. Injury obviously cost him, but he 355 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: needs to come back and play at a very high 356 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: level because you can't replace everybody on the offensive line. 357 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: You're getting to orwell back. You expect to have Cam 358 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: Robinson bad. Maybe Eric Flowers plays a role for you 359 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: as well. You're gonna have to find a guard on 360 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: the right side. You don't need to find a center 361 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: because you may need to find a guard and at tackle. 362 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: You need Brandon Litter to come back and be the 363 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: lynchpin of your offensive one and I'm excited to see 364 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: how Brandon Linder responds to whoever the quarterbacks in the 365 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: meet because we know how close his relationship was with 366 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: Blake and he's played with Blake for so many years now. 367 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see because he was the leader on 368 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: that line, absolutely, so I'm curious to see how that relationship. 369 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do about it, no input required, 370 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: Just go out and play. My two guys are to 371 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: Shawn Gibson and Telvin Smut. Looking forward to Shaun Gibson. 372 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: We know that Buried Church most likely will not be 373 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: here so that means that he's playing with Ronnie Harrison, 374 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: and Ronnie Harrison has been playing at a hugely high level, 375 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: but he's still a rookie. He still has a long 376 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: way to go, especially with on sportsman like penalties. We've 377 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: seen a few of them. He needs to clean those up. 378 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: So Shaun Gibbs is gonna start playing more of a 379 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: leadership role in that secondary and he's gonna have a 380 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: big year. He's gonna have to because he's got a 381 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: rookie with Ronnie Harrison be playing with and Telvin Smith. 382 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: We know that he played at an all pro level 383 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: last season, and he hasn't looked up to the hype 384 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: that we set for him this season. Now with Myles 385 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: Jack and Telvin, obviously they're a dynamic linebacker duo. But 386 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: Telvin needs to have a bigger year because he still 387 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: has those leadership qualities in the locker room on the field. 388 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: But we both have said that there's times where he's 389 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: not living up to the hype on the field. Well, 390 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: let's keep in mind he's a pound line right, I mean, 391 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: I know that they listed starting weight of the season 392 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: year to twenty, but you know he struggles to keep 393 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: the weight on. He is a playmaking linebacker, right. He's 394 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: a pick up the ball, return it for a touchdown, 395 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: pick it off. That kind of guy gets the occasional 396 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: strip sack when they send him on the blitz, but 397 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: they didn't even do that much with him. He's a playmaker. 398 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: He's got to have impact places because he's not a 399 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: fifteen tackle a game guy. He's not a two pounds 400 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: you won't last the season. He had the shoulder that 401 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: he had to deal with and played through in London 402 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. That slowed him down some after he came 403 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: back from that. You need him to be that ball 404 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: hawk nos for the ball kind of guy, which he 405 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: was last year. Right. And it's such a drop off 406 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: from this year because he made so many plays in 407 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen. It was almost every single game we 408 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: were talking about. It was inevitable that you weren't going 409 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: to get quite as many, but you needed a few 410 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: more similar to a J boy and that in two 411 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: thousand seventeen that every game you were talking about some 412 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: kind of impact play. He made again the last few 413 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: weeks with a J. If you've watched him closely, it's 414 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: as if he's running the route for the receivers. He's 415 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: he is starting to show that two thousand seventeen form. 416 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: It's just it's too late. You know. He's in the 417 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: film room, that's for sure. Absolutely. They just need that 418 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: boy back on the fields next year. All right, we'll 419 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, we'll take a 420 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: look at the Redskins.

Um what an interesting story that 452 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: you've had to cover this week. Josh Johnson, who has 453 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: not played since two thousand and fourteen until last week, 454 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: arguably signs to be a backup to Mark Sanchez, and 455 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's the starter. From your perspective, 456 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: how much fun has it been to cover him this week? Yeah, 457 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: this has been quite quite a few weeks really for 458 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: the Redskins. I mean, you look't even going back to 459 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: Koy and it seems like every week they're trying to 460 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: figure out how to prepare a new starter with new guards. 461 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: It's just been quite a chaotic time for the offense. 462 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: But this has been quite a week for for Josh Johnson. 463 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't think you know he mentioned 464 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: even last week or just yesterday his press comments actually 465 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: that you know, a week ago he was sitting on 466 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 1: his couch. He is not thinking he would ever be 467 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL again. I mean, this is a guy 468 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: that signed with another football league to play with the 469 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: San Diego Fleet. Um that he had to he he 470 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: had to rearrange his whole life essentially to get one 471 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: more shot in the NFL with the Redskins, and now 472 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: he's got it. He's basically said that this Steel is 473 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: kind of like going to Disneyland. I mean, everything right 474 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: now is kind of gravy in terms of what his 475 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: perspective is. So it was funny we didn't really even 476 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: get to ask him too much about playing the Jaguars. 477 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: He was just kind of thrilled to be on the 478 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: field at this point. So there's a lot of emotion 479 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: with him right now. But I think he's he's he's 480 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: kind of started to figure out, all right, I'm actually 481 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: starting in a game this Sunday. I think it's it's 482 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: starting to wear off a little bit and now he's 483 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: starting to get into game mode. So the fourth quarterback 484 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: this season for the Redskins, how has the team responded 485 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: to all of that commotion and attempting to keep their 486 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: focus I'm sure still on their opponent. Yeah, you know, 487 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: it's been It's been pretty tough, I would say. I 488 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: think Alex Smith. The one thing that maybe doesn't get 489 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: talked about too much with him is just the leadership 490 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: that he brought to this team. I think it was 491 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: pretty apparent that from the day that he got here, 492 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: it was immediately a sign that this was a professional 493 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: guy that everyone was going to be drawn to and 494 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: and look up to. And I think he really did 495 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: bring this quiet calm demeanor to him to this team 496 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: that I think really, you know a lot of people 497 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: gravitated towards and so when you lose a guy like that, 498 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: it does feel like there's been a void that hasn't 499 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: been able to be filled. I think there there aren't 500 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: a ton of leaders offensively on this team in terms 501 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: of what he was able to provide, and so it 502 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: has been a tough slide because, look, they they've lost 503 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: four in a row since uh, you know, he went 504 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: down in that Texans game, and it really just hasn't 505 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: been like an opportunity for this team to to kind 506 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: of rise up to the occasion in a lot of ways. 507 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: So it's been tough, and I don't know how I think. 508 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: I think they responded pretty well to Josh Johnson in 509 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: that second half again the Giants, but it does seem 510 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 1: as though they they're gonna need somebody to step up 511 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: these last three games in terms of trying to really 512 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: rally this team together. I think that has been a 513 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: rough part for this team so far. Are they still 514 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: talking playoffs because six and seven has the Redskins on 515 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: the bubble? Are the veteran guys, especially that defensive side 516 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: of the ball that is so talented. Are they still thinking, hey, 517 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: maybe we can get something going here. It feels a 518 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: little split, you know. To be honest, I think the 519 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: defense um doesn't feel that way in some ways, just 520 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: because the defense really has been a tale of two 521 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: halves for them. Um. The first half they were so dominant, 522 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, and just the last four or five 523 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: games now it just feels like a lot of things 524 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: are missing with them, and you know, there's been a 525 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: lot of blame going around different different people, but offensively, 526 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, you look at Adrian Peterson, he's been kind 527 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: of the biggest advocate for this team in terms of 528 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You was mentioning yesterday, Look, we're still in 529 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: this thing, and you know, it's it's not over, and 530 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of scenarios right now where the Redpkins 531 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: make it in even if they only win two of 532 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: the next three, potentially even one, which is pretty tricky, 533 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: but ideally they would like to win out and you know, 534 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: kind of control their own destiny to a certain extent. 535 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: That certainly is the easiest part of getting the playoffs 536 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: if they went all out. So you know, it is, 537 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: but it is. It is funny because it does feel 538 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: like there are some guys who are just kind of, uh, 539 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: this is not really working out, and others that are saying, well, 540 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: you still, We're still in this. We have a chance 541 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: to do this. So your sense listening to the coaching 542 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: staff and obviously understanding Jake Gruden, you guys got an 543 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: offensive pedigree, long offensive pedigree. When Josh Johnson comes in 544 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: with the Redskins and the system that they put in place, 545 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: are they asking Josh to learn their system or are 546 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: they tweaking it trying to build something around Josh. I 547 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: think it's mostly their system. I don't think they have 548 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: to tweak too much with him. And you know, you 549 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: remember he was a part of Jay gru his offense 550 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay and then Cincinnati as well, so there's 551 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: not um I would say too much that they have 552 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: to to adjust, just because of the fact that he's 553 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: pretty familiar with this offense already, and then you look 554 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: at what he was able to do a little bit 555 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: last week. I think adding a little bit of the 556 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: mobility to this offense is is kind of paramount at 557 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: this point because their their offensive line is pretty banged 558 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: up and there's been a lot of situations where they've 559 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: had to change out guards even in the middle of games. 560 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: And I think when you looked at what Mark Sanchez 561 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: was trying to do, He's not a mobile guy. It 562 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: was really tough for him to get a rhythm because 563 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: almost immediately the Giants defensive front put pressure on him. 564 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: He was sacked as several times. I think what Josh 565 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: Johnson brings this look, if there is that internal pressure, 566 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: he's able to run out of the pocket make some 567 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: things happen. I think that's kind of what you want 568 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: at this point, because he was really starting to make 569 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: some plays, and I think a lot of the offensive 570 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: playmakers were like, they're starting to buy into what he 571 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: was able to do athletically, and then you know, he 572 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: was able to drive him down the field score a 573 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns. It was kind of garbage time at 574 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: that point, but I think they started to buy into 575 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: this guy's as being a leader for this offense the 576 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: rest of the way. You mentioned Adrian Peterson earlier that 577 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: he still has belief in this team for the playoffs 578 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: his thirteenth season in the league. How much has he 579 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: alleviated some of the pressure with the quarterback position on offense, 580 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure as one of the huge leaders on offense 581 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: for your team. Yeah, it was definitely. It was definitely 582 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: the case for the first half. I think the bread 583 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: and butter for this Redskins offense had been let's get 584 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: a lead early and the defense knows what it has 585 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: to do, and then we can just keep running the ball. 586 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: Time of possession has been so key for this Redskins team, 587 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: and it really works both ways. Obviously on defense too, 588 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,959 Speaker 1: when you're able to rest and have long sustained drives 589 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: and eat up the clock. It hasn't been the same way, 590 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: and I would say a lot of that has been 591 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, when when you have new offensive lineman, you 592 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of pre snap penalties. That's been a 593 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: huge buggaboo that Jay Gruen has been upset with the 594 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: last few weeks. A lot of false starts, caught a 595 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: holding call that puts the offense into second and twenty 596 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: third and fifteen kind of downs and distances, and so 597 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson just hasn't been able to be used too 598 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: much over the last couple of weeks because of that. 599 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: They're they're in these long passing situations and you just 600 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: don't have many options. The playbook really shrinks when you 601 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: you can't get into nice second and five or third 602 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: and two's. And so Adrian Peterson, they'd like to start 603 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: off with him, but you know, sometimes even the last 604 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: couple of games he's he hasn't been able to do 605 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: the same things he was in the first half season, 606 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: So it's kind of been a little bit of a liability, 607 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: and I think they want to get him going as 608 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: early as possible just so they can establish that. But 609 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, and it has been helpful for a lot 610 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: of guys, especially Alex Smith early on, but it has 611 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: seemed to be the case that they haven't been able 612 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: to rely on the same kind of explosiveness. He had 613 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: that one big run against the Eagles, but otherwise it's 614 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: it's not been in great yards per carry average. So 615 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: I think they're looking to get him going a little 616 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: bit more this week. But again, it's just so hard 617 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: when you have new offensive line and circling in and 618 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: out each week to came again on the same page 619 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: as a unit. You know, we've experienced firsthand down here 620 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, how a defense struggles to play to its 621 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: potential when they don't get a lot of help from 622 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: the offense, and I'm sure that's been the case the 623 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: last few weeks, So I know this is a terrific 624 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: talented defense. They've given up four hundred yards of total 625 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: offense the last few weeks. I mean, is that the 626 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: case that they just haven't been able to hold up 627 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: with an offense that's been changing out guards and quarterbacks. Yeah, 628 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, it's it's so hard to know. 629 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: There's so many components. Obviously, you guys know too how 630 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: a defense plays, and I think it's frustrating for a 631 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: lot of these players because they know they do have 632 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: the talent. Josh Norman is playing at a really high 633 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: level this year. D J. Swerender had playing at a 634 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: really high level this year. Um, I think there's so 635 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: many positives you could take away. Even even the defensive 636 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: line really stepped up this year. They added there on 637 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: pain and Matt I and I has had a really 638 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: big year. He's kind of on the injury list the 639 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, but they've all been It seemed 640 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: like that first half this was really going to be 641 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,239 Speaker 1: a defense. Yes, And I think there's just been some 642 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: changes ever since I got ha Ha Clinton Dicks too, 643 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: which has kind of been a strange development that they 644 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: just haven't really found a way to use him and 645 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: get him right in the scheme, it seems like. And 646 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: so there's been some struggles there and I think it 647 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: might have I don't know if it completely messed up 648 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: the chemistry, but there's just been a lot of misassignments, 649 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: mis tackles, and you know, as you mentioned, it kind 650 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: of goes back to that whole thing about the offense. 651 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: When you're only going three and out three and now 652 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: you don't have a real leader on offense, it doesn't 653 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: feel like drives are being sustained. The defense just is 654 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: constantly forced to go out and and feel like they're 655 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: playing from behind, and that's never easy. When when you 656 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: have teams that are playing from behind, the defense can 657 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: kind of pen it's years back. They know they're going 658 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: to be in certain situations. They don't have to worry 659 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: about the run as much.

How 706 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: about a couple of NFL headline Yeah, well, you know 707 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: try how about a couple of NFL headlines for you. 708 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier. That's Brandon Marshall, right, Central Florida's finest. 709 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: I'll never forget. We went to Denver two thousand seven 710 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: and I was walking on the field before the game 711 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: and I look and I think, wow, that's pretty thin 712 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: defensive end. Turns out he was a wide receiver, uh 713 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: six ft six, two thirty pounds at you know, long arms. 714 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: And there were two games that they played against Denver 715 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: in back to back years seven at eight and they 716 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: couldn't defend him. I mean, he just he looked like 717 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: he was going to be All Pro and he was 718 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: a six time Pro bowler. But over the course of 719 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: seven teams now right to this year, Seattle and now 720 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans, um, he's never made the playoffs. A hundred 721 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: and seventy eight games. Seven teams, Denver, Miami, the Seahawks, 722 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: the Saints, the Jets, the Giants, and there's someone else 723 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: that I'm missing in there has he has never made 724 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: the player he imagined. The frustration, he signs on with 725 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: the Saints thinking I'm finally going to get a chance 726 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: to play in the playoffs, maybe get a chance to 727 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: go deep in the playoffs because Drew brees his quarterback 728 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: one right. Um, No hundred and seventy eight games no 729 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: playoff appearances. That's a long time. The only other guy 730 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: I even remember coming closer that was Tony Gonzalez. He's 731 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: probably the greatest tight end of the modern era. Uh, 732 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: in terms of numbers and what he did make it. 733 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: But late in his career with Atlanta, they didn't win, 734 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: but they got to the playoffs. Um. Yeah, these are 735 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: great players and not making the playoffs is kind of 736 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: an interesting story. So Brandon Marshall a Saint no more? Uh, 737 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: here's one for you. How about this? The Raiders don't 738 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: have a home for next year. Obviously they're moving to 739 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I'm sorry Las Vegas. Um, they were in 740 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Try to follow their travels. So they've got 741 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: a one year lease deal set on the table with 742 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: the Oakland Alameda County folks. Um. But there's a lawsuit 743 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: now involving the Raiders. It's the federal lawsuit, and so 744 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: they're probably not playing in Oakland next year, and they 745 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: don't know where they're playing, and they don't know where. 746 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: And Derek Carr was scratching his head yesterday in the 747 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: locker room saying, this is crazy. I mean, he said, 748 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: four head coaches in his short tenure now five years 749 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, probably should figure that out while 750 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: they're talking about. Maybe they could play in the South 751 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 1: Bay and work a deal with the Niners to play 752 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: at Levi Stadium. Or they could go and work a 753 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: deal with the Giants in San Francisco and play at 754 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: a T and T park, Or they could work a 755 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: deal with Stanford or Cal both Bay area schools with 756 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: big stadiums. Or they could go play in uh San Diego. 757 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: They could play in St. Louis, who has recently lost 758 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: the Rams. San Antonio has been mentioned, although I think 759 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: that's that's not as likely anymore. Um, but the Saints 760 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: played there when Hurricane Katrina took away the super Dome 761 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: from them back in two thousand and five. So a 762 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: lot of options, but they don't know. And Roger Goodell 763 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: was saying yesterday at the NFL's owners meetings in Dallas 764 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: that they had to figure this out by February so 765 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: that they could get the scheduled on right and to 766 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 1: have stability. That's just a mess. We're home. Um, speaking 767 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: of home, our final headline is this, uh. You know, 768 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: New York City was the home of the draft for 769 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: ever uh and a few years ago. What Chicago was 770 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: there for two years and Chicago did a great job 771 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: with it. Then it went to Philly, and Philly took 772 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: it up a notch and didn't even better job with it. 773 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: Last year was in Dallas. This year it's in Nashville, 774 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: and the year after it's going to Las Vegas. Which 775 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: the minute there was a franchise in Las Vegas, you 776 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: knew that that show is going out there and as 777 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: good a job as all these other cities have done. Um. 778 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: Kind of like the fact that I go to the 779 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 1: Draft every years. Nashville is gonna be is gonna be interesting. 780 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: Nash is a great city. Um. Vegas, well, you saw 781 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: the sign right there. He said, it's fabulous. So those 782 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: are your NFL headlines here on a Thursday morning. We'll 783 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,919 Speaker 1: take a break and Marcus Pollard will join us.

I 815 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: mean more than a third of the teams in the league. 816 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: He has a jersey at home, you know, probably framed 817 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: and maybe I don't know.

Um. 819 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: My question to you is if, if you're Jake Ruden, 820 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: do you just come out of the gate with all 821 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: of your crazy packages and say, you know, we've got 822 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: a mobile guy who can run around. He hasn't played 823 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot in the last two years. We don't necessarily 824 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: want him to stand back in the pocket and take 825 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: any shots. I mean, do you go single wing? I'm 826 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm being facetious, but yeah, I mean there's six and 827 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,439 Speaker 1: seven and we just had a preview of the game 828 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: from Washington, and the thought was, well, you know, he 829 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: was with Jake Gruden and Tampa, and he was with 830 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: Jake Gruden and Cincinnati, and so he he probably knows 831 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: the system. Uh, let him run the system. And they 832 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: are still in the playoff hunt um, and there's a 833 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: way they can get in if they just went to 834 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: of their final three games. Interesting thought, very interesting. I 835 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: just I will be on I would, especially what this 836 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: has been his second game. I like to be a 837 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 1: little bit more patient, especially with their being still y 838 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: off implications on the line at stake, So I would 839 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: kind of ease him. Even though he's very familiar with 840 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: the offense, he's not very familiar with the players he's 841 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: playing with and renting routes and the concepts of how 842 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: the backs are taking routes, Who can cats, who can't? 843 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: Who you guys that I can lean on, e um 844 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: read the tight end who's apparently out? You know? So 845 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: to me, he still have to figure some things out 846 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: so I would be out linked to the side of 847 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: its just just hand it off and just play basic football. 848 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: Couple of weeks a couple of weeks ago our Thursday 849 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: Night preview, we talked about being excited to watch the 850 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: Saints and the Cowboys. I remember at the end of 851 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: the game going man, Marcus and I both thought they 852 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: were gonna score a lot. They didn't. Dallas stepped up 853 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: defense at this time of the year really becomes you 854 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: know your ace card when when you if you've got 855 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: one and key players who can make things happen um tonight. 856 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: The team that seems to have that with them is 857 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: the Chargers, and everybody's focused on Patrick mahomes uh and 858 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: what they've done with offense in Kansas City. But when 859 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: you have Joey Bosa, who now all of a sudden 860 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: says I'm back, um whoa WHOA. First of all, great game, 861 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,959 Speaker 1: great game should be? Should be a great game tonight? 862 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: It should be. We spent a lot of time talking 863 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 1: about my home, so let's leave Kansas City on the 864 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: sideline for a moment. I'm an appreciation for Philip Rivers, 865 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: who might be the guy I enjoy watching the most 866 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: part of it's his is just as demeanor. I love 867 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: how fiery he is. Um, but he's a guy who 868 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 1: just he can launch the ball, he can stand the 869 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,439 Speaker 1: pocket and be patient and wait for the underneath routes 870 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: to come open. He's as good a quarterback as there 871 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: is in the game. He doesn't have the championships to 872 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: show with it, but if you're gonna line up with 873 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: him against anyone, you'd feel pretty good about it. Yeah, 874 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: And I was just thinking as you were talking. I 875 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: can hear Simularis and Tom Brady, big guys. You can 876 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 1: stand in the pocket, I can throw it the little 877 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: bit more mobile, not very much more mobile, Tom, But 878 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: two guys who can just get it done, can rib it, 879 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: throw it down the field. Fiery, can relate the teammates 880 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: and overall great guys. Spend some time with Um and 881 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,760 Speaker 1: everything I can hear about Um Um Philip. Philip Rivers 882 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,399 Speaker 1: is amazing, a great guy, great teammate, so very very 883 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: similarity personality wise and athletically to each other. His numbers 884 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 1: are similar. When you look at your four thousand yards 885 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: and thirty touchdowns. I mean he's just put those things out. 886 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: A couple of things that stand out about number one. Um, 887 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: the older quarterbacks don't like to get hit. Eyton didn't 888 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,919 Speaker 1: like to get hit. But people say that all the time, 889 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: But think about it a freshman, Ye, rookie, Yeah, at quarterback, 890 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: and they'll tell you the same thing. I don't want 891 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 1: to get hit. I don't want to forget the age, right, 892 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 1: you know. But Rivers is more like Roethlisberger in this 893 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: sense that he'll stand in there and take the hit, 894 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: bounce back up and get in your face and let 895 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: you have it. You know. I love that fire Elwait 896 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: was like that. You know, he didn't necessarily love getting hit. 897 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: He feels it today, but he took some wicked hits 898 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: in the day from Derrick Thomas and from Neil Smith 899 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: in these Kansas City games, and he popped right back up, 900 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: and you know, he just let the show. Let me 901 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: talk about leadership for goodness sakes. To me, that's one 902 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: of the things to me when I look back at 903 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: Brett Fobb's career, that's the one thing that stands out 904 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: to me is that he was so tough. He stick 905 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: his head there and die for the extra yard. People 906 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: tell him, why don't you slide? Why an't I sliding. 907 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: I need to help my teammates out. And when you 908 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: see a guy like that sticking his head in there 909 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: and getting the extra yard, you really your troops, You 910 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: really a teammates like, Okay, if our quarterback is doing this, 911 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 1: I gotta do it running back. That's exactly right. I 912 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 1: think the Chargers are the class of the a f C. 913 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 1: I do. I know everyone's high on Kansas City, but 914 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 1: without Kareem Hunt, I think that this team when they 915 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: get Melvin Gordon back and they don't have him tonight obviously, 916 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: and Austin Ekeler might not be on the field tonight, 917 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: and he's a big part. We saw that last year 918 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: when he was able to do for them. I'm going 919 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: with the Chargers tonight. I think I think what they 920 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: do on defense, um, I'm going with Gusts and the 921 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: defensive going with them, Um that group. I'm going with 922 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Yeah, because I think it's coming off an 923 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: emotional week. They're just on a streak. They're moving. I mean, 924 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's a tough one. I hopefully this 925 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 1: game is like we said, like hope is advertised and hopeless. 926 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 1: This is a great game, But I mean it's really 927 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: kind of hard for me to best against Kansas City, right. 928 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: Anthony land is one of my favorite Jaguars assistance of 929 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: all time. He was here for a couple of years. Coach, 930 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: great guy, great guy. Uh and and Gus obviously is 931 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,399 Speaker 1: someone that we all think very highly of. So I'm 932 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: going with I'm going with the Chargers. I get it. 933 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: You're taking the safe bet. Ye, the smart bet too. 934 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure you trust in Gus. That's fine. No trusting 935 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: the players. I trusting the players. I just think you 936 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: know what they've got with those two rushers, with Marvin 937 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: on one side and with Joey on on the other, 938 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 1: what they can bring from the outside. I just I 939 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: just they're good. They are very very good, very good. 940 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: But Philip with a great quarterback. Philip River was just playing, well, 941 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: you go in and you win in uh in Pittsburgh, 942 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: which you know some teams make look easy. It's not. 943 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: It's not, it's not, it's not. All right, we'll see, 944 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: all right, you ready to play this game? Oh yeah, 945 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 1: Marcus is ready. He's not okay with losing a few 946 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: weeks ago. It's all on his mind. Actually, you know, 947 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 1: that's one of my things that really fire me up. 948 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: When people tell me I can't do something, well, I 949 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: didn't tell you. Okay, finish if I can't do something, Oh, 950 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 1: I don't exhale as well as I think I should. 951 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,399 Speaker 1: I go all out to win. No pressure. I don't 952 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: feel any I've answered seven straight questions. I mean, yeah, 953 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: she tried to screw me out of my spot last week. 954 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: I didn't because I was I was up to one 955 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: on John, who filled in a right, and she goes, well, 956 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,759 Speaker 1: let's go to the type break. I said, we don't 957 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 1: need a type break. That's a time maaker, not a 958 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 1: type breaker. I'm not going to give John a shot. 959 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: I believed in him. Thanks. I appreciate that Lucky does 960 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 1: in the charges tonight. Right, all right, First one is 961 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 1: a quote tweet throwing it up here. If they heat 962 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: up leftover pizza, they're an arc. The quote tweet is 963 00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: this player said truth. He believes in this statement. Oh, 964 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:11,479 Speaker 1: I stopped very active on social media. That's your clue, 965 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: big tweeter. All right, let's see it. You both are wrong, 966 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: not Jalen Ramsey. You get one more guests each quickly. 967 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: I like the direction you're going, but think outside the box. 968 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:43,439 Speaker 1: Here outside the pizza box, snug Jill. You guys didn't 969 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 1: see this one? No, and I looked, yeah, and I 970 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: don't and I don't. I don't have a clue. No, 971 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm just guessing because it's food and food was deep Westbrook. 972 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: I see that, but no, Carson Tinker, that is outside 973 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: the box. Good guess. But who was it? Josh Lambo 974 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: never would have guessed it. Should have looked at his 975 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 1: social media. Yeah, he's all over. So the thing I 976 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: saw from him was retweet retweet Bowl. So I just 977 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 1: didn't even pay an attention to him. That's fair. It 978 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 1: was kind of in the middle of all the Pro 979 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: Bowl stuff, so it was hit him a narc.

I saw you had twenty seven down. 1000 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: Why did you change it? It was Leonard for net 1001 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 1: What instinct was that to change? Well? I thought, come on, 1002 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,359 Speaker 1: that was the first mistake. I thought, yeah, that was Yeah. 1003 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: She just went with the instincts. And I thought, and 1004 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: I said, well, how about tip. Let me just take 1005 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: a while gander. Type of the guy who tweets the 1006 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 1: most about son and daughter is Leonard that much? I know? Yes, 1007 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 1: you know. She came in this morning and she said, 1008 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,800 Speaker 1: better be ready because Marcus is ready. And so I 1009 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 1: got ready. You have two more weeks, pal, what's the record? 1010 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 1: What's the two? One? Me? Yep to one me. I 1011 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,799 Speaker 1: gotta win next week. It's an absolute must next week 1012 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,800 Speaker 1: to talk about a must win. Yeah, for you, it 1013 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 1: is absolutely must win, win or go home. Yeah, and 1014 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: then pay up. I only go home, but up. I 1015 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 1: don't know what you're paying up. Yeah. We gotta figure 1016 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: that part out. Something probably involving food. It's always good. Um, 1017 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 1: just quick thought. This team, uh Doug talk yesterday about 1018 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: playing like you love the game, playing like a kid. Um, 1019 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,479 Speaker 1: will they get the sense they will? I think so? Okay, 1020 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, because I've been asked that question and I 1021 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,879 Speaker 1: don't like where we are recognized. But emotionally, I think 1022 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 1: our guys still having fun. And that may not be 1023 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,239 Speaker 1: the thing that people want to hear, but to me, 1024 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: I'd rather have them have fun with each other than 1025 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,919 Speaker 1: to come to work miserable, like why am I here? 1026 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 1: At least with that attitude, you give yourself an opportunity 1027 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: to win a game. Absolutely, and that's how you have 1028 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,360 Speaker 1: a game where you see some of it and the 1029 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,359 Speaker 1: love of the game comes through the joy that comes 1030 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 1: through if if not, it feels like last week. Absolutely right. 1031 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 1: As always, we greatly appreciate you coming up. Step it 1032 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: up next week, all you boy.
