Brian Sexton, Ashland Sullivan, 5 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: John Osier and head coach Doug Morrown join us for 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: a little coffee with the coach here to kick off 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: your Friday morning. Happy Friday, Coach, how are you today? 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: Do UM practice indoors a couple of days this week? 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: And I know you've talked a little bit about it, 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: but does that is that a move to get legs back? 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: Is that a move to get different things done? Tell 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: us a little bit about to go in indoors this week? Well, 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean we you know where acclimated obviously to the heat. 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: We practiced pretty much the whole UM training camp outside 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: and then you know, in the first couple of weeks 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: we've been outside, but obviously with the heat, indecks you know, 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: being extremely high and being out there, you know, you 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: you don't want to wear your team down before you play, 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: so you know, we were out there for uh, you know, 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: half the practice outside. Have to practice inside, so you know, 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: just a way to keep them from not necessarily their legs, 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: but just overall the just the heat draining them. And 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: I walked down the hallway behind Tavin Brian yesterday coming 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: off and he was dripping it sweat. So obviously going 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: indoors doesn't make it easy. No, no, no, it doesn't 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: make it easier. It's just a little bit cool. I 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: think you get you know, you can get a better 28 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: practice out of it. And uh, like I said before, 29 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: if I was worried about the team being acclimated to 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: the heat, then we'd have to be out there a 31 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: little bit longer. But I'm not, uh worried about that. 32 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: What I wanted to do is just make sure we 33 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: go get a good practice and and uh, again, it's 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: a lot of work. When you drop you know, eight 35 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: to twelve pounds of of of weight, you know during 36 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: the practice, then you gotta come back in and put 37 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: that on. You know, you're overworking your body to do that. 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: And if coming off a hot game on Sunday and 39 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: doing it just felt like it was the right thing 40 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: to do. You mentioned this a couple of times in 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: uh speaking, last couple of weeks, and I kind of 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: missed it the first time you talked about it. But 43 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: playing in home openers wherever they are, Uh, it feels 44 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: like you think that takes a physical thing. It's a 45 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: tougher game than a normal game. Yeah, I think well 46 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: both both. You know, when you're on the road and 47 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: stuff the opening day and then you know the home openers. 48 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a tougher game, it's 49 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: just more. Um, it's faster. I mean the players are 50 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: playing faster. Um. Like I said, the speed of the 51 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: first game of the year is the same speed that 52 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: you see in the playoffs. And then you know during 53 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: the year then that you get into that mode of 54 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: just playing. I learned that from obviously Herm Edwards and 55 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: a lot of other people have said that before. So 56 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of talk about it. Every 57 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: team goes through it. It's ah, you know, high energy, 58 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: high emotion, and and and now you kind of you've 59 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: got to get into that good proper rhythm you know 60 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: during the week that that that you can get yourself 61 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: ready to perform on Sunday. Heading into this Sunday, how 62 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: important is it to win at home in front of 63 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: these Jaguars fans before going on that huge road strip 64 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: you're about to go on. Yeah, I mean it's always important, 65 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, you you have an advantage at home. I mean, 66 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: you know a lot of the plosophy in the league 67 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: over the years has always been, hey, you know, win 68 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: all your home games and split your road games and 69 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: and you'll be okay. But you know, for us, you know, 70 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: our fans that have been outstanding. You know, we've got 71 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: to give him a good performance. We we fell short 72 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: last week, and um, you know, like you said, you 73 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: have to take advantage of these games early that you 74 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: play at home, and you can't let them slip by. 75 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: You know, during the draft process last spring, people looked 76 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: at Sam Donald and thought he was a pro ready quarterback. 77 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: Is that what you've seen? You said on Monday that 78 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: he didn't look like a rookie to you know what, 79 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: what what specifically do you see from him that gives 80 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: you that? I think your eyes, I think you know, 81 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you see with the young quarterbacks that uh get 82 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: themselves in trouble early on, is they're looking at the 83 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: rush or they're worried about the protection um and then 84 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: when they're moving around, their eyes you know, come off 85 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: of the downfield throws and you don't see that at 86 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: all with Sam Donald. You see him, you know, he 87 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: can go ahead. He has really good mobility within the 88 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: pocket and even outside the pocket. But when he's moving, 89 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: his eyes continually stayed down the field, and and that 90 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: puts extra pressure, you know, saying on the back end 91 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: to make sure you're covering. And I think you know, 92 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: he showed a lot uh in the first game when 93 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: he came out there in the first row he threw 94 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: an interception and and he came back and lit it 95 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: up the rest of the day. And that that's another 96 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: test that you would look at. Um. You know, for 97 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: any player that's young, you know, corner or left tackle, quarterback, 98 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: you know, how well do you come back? And I 99 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: think you know, Sam Donald's gonna be a good player 100 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: in this league for a long time and he will 101 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: continue to get better. And you know, every time we're 102 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna face him, you know, whether it be the sun 103 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: there in the future, it will be a challenge. Yeah, 104 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: your defense never hesitates to say what they think. And 105 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: and to me it was telling what a guy like 106 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: to shaw On Gibson, who was very competent. He is 107 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: talking about what he's seen in that rookie quarterback to 108 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: that's not just talk. Yeah, absolutely, I mean we have 109 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: a great deal of respect for it's not just talk. 110 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean you know, he's he's he's the heck of 111 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: a player and you know, and he gets you know, 112 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: a lot of talk has been about him, uh during 113 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: the week, you know, because he's the youngest quarterback and 114 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: he doesn't look like that, but you know he and 115 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: he deserves it. But you know, the two running backs 116 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: and really Way and uh Quincy number one. Um, yeah, 117 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: he's the outstanding player too. So you know, you talk 118 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: about having a quarterback, but you know, now all of 119 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're gonna you're gonna have to stop the run. 120 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you know, now you've 121 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: got a receiver in a quarterback that can get on 122 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: the same page quickly. So they it's gonna be a challenge. 123 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Class talked this week, he said they might be the 124 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: two most underrated running backs in the league. In his opinion, 125 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: he thinks they're really good and they run things that 126 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: make it tough. What is it about their running game 127 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: that's so tough beyond what they do well or beyond 128 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: the two backs. Well, it's for schematically, it's it's multiple, 129 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: so it's coming out of different formations. So they can 130 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: go big and and really you know, gap you out. 131 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: And then now you have to be a disciplined defense 132 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: and both of these running backs, if you're not, and 133 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: and there's a gap that's missing, they'll find it. And 134 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: then only can they find that, they can explode through 135 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: the whole and and score when they get it. They 136 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: both except they do a great job path walking. They 137 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: both can catch the ball and and obviously run after 138 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: a catch and the other things. They can make people 139 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: miss and they're strong. So um, you know this probably 140 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: if you look at our games so far today, these 141 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: are the two best. The combination of these two backs 142 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: are the best backs that we face so far. And 143 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: you're coming in on a game where the Titans what 144 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: over a hundred on you. So when you look at 145 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: your run defense from last week, what is it that 146 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: stands out what has to be better this week against 147 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: these big backs. I think it's the same thame thing, 148 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that helps the defenses. 149 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: When the offense can stay on the field more, you know, 150 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: we can do a better job a lot of the 151 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: runs last week and in the Russian came later in 152 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: the game, and you know, there's some breakdowns and some 153 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: mis tackles. I think, you know, to be able to 154 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: stop the run, you've gotta be in your gap. But 155 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: also then that's that's only part of it. The next 156 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: part is you've gotta be able to tackle and bring 157 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: someone down. And you've got to get population, you know, 158 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: to these players. Obviously they're good players. They can make 159 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: you miss. So we've got to get population to them 160 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: and shut down the run game. And and just like 161 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: everyone else, we're trying to you know, the minute. You 162 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: can make a team one dimensional in this league, whatever 163 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: it be either running or passing. Um, you can just 164 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: make a one dimensional passing they you have a good 165 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to, uh, you know, get those takeaways which we 166 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: haven't gotten lately. Talking to the wide receivers in the 167 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: locker room this week, they've all been very accountable for 168 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: them not playing well last week, and Keelan Cole mentioned 169 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: how he looks to Keena Macardel for support when the 170 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: offense doesn't play well. Do you have to say anything 171 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: to the unit as a whole. I think our teams. 172 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: Our team is um good in a sense that you know, 173 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: you don't need to uh stand up there and as 174 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: individuals to take accountability. You know, they meaning that they 175 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: don't need to stand up and be like a martyr 176 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: and say, oh, this is my fault. This game's on me. 177 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: It's on all of us. So it starts with me 178 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: to everyone down, even for um. You know, all the units. 179 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: A unit may play well, and I say a unit 180 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: like a position group may play well, but they still 181 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: actually own, you know, part of it. And that's what 182 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: being on a team, that's what that does. So you 183 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: know do we do We point things out and correct them, 184 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: telling what we need to do better. Absolutely, you know 185 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: that you don't. You don't want to be um at all, 186 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, because you're trying to improve and you know, hey, 187 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: this is not acceptable. This is what we have to 188 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: get done. You know, I'll stand up in them and say, 189 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, because it starts with me. So I always 190 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: make sure I say, look, this is what I could 191 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: have done a better job, this is where I made 192 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: a mistake, this is where I have to get better. 193 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: You know, we all have to look at it that way. 194 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: So I kind of said an example of that and 195 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: set the tone and then you know, our players are 196 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: are are very much aware of what they need to do, 197 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: and now they have to go out there and do it. 198 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: That's that's that's a difficult part. And even in the 199 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: nine six game. After that game, defensive players were saying, hey, 200 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: we gave a hundred fifty yards rushing and we had 201 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: opportunity to get him on the field in the second half, 202 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: which is what you're talking about. Even absolutely scoring game 203 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: the defense and and that's one of the things that 204 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: that that gives and I don't know about other teams, 205 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: but gives our team, you know, a chance because what 206 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: happens is when you hit adversity. Um, you know, all 207 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's very easy to point fingers, it 208 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: really is. But you know, if you can get everyone 209 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: collectively in their understanding what their roles are, understanding and 210 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: that each one of us can do something better to 211 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: help the cause and we truly care about one another, 212 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: then we have an opportunity to get it corrected. I 213 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: think you know when people talk about this function, that 214 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: this function comes where well, I'm playing, well, I don't 215 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: really care about what you know, how you're doing, Hey, 216 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: you gotta pick it up. You know you're not doing well. 217 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: We don't. We don't have that so um, And that's 218 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: one of the things that you always have to guard 219 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: for when you hit with adversity because during the season, 220 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, like I told the players, were you know 221 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: you we're gonna get hit with adversity early, during the 222 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: middle of it, and late. And how we how we 223 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: react to it, how we overcome it is gonna be 224 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: key for how well we play and how many games 225 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: we win. The focus has been on Leonard for that 226 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. How healthy are you guys overall? Yeah, 227 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: you got a number of guys on the injury report 228 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: over the course of the week, but a lot of 229 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: guys practiced yesterday. Do you feel like your team is healthy? 230 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't, you know. I think as long as you 231 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: have people on the injury report, and obviously you're not 232 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: as healthy as you want to be. UM. I don't 233 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: really look at other teams and try to compare them. 234 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: I know the team we're playing has everyone coming back 235 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: on defense pretty much much, you know, so they'll be 236 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: at full strength for the first time. You want to 237 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: be at full strength. But you know, it's it's part 238 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: of the game, and I think that's one of the 239 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: things you have to manage and go through. That's why 240 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: you have to have depth on your roster. That's why 241 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: you have to have people step up, so I don't 242 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: you don't really sit there and go, oh, what is me? 243 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: Because really, no one gives a crap about you in 244 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, I mean that's the truth. You know, 245 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: no one's gonna feel sorry for you, and and it 246 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: is what it is, and you just move on. So 247 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: I think you just become used to it. Off the field. 248 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: NFL Films released a video piece about how Dunro makes 249 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: the perfect bologna sandwich yesterday. Is it weird that just 250 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: one comment after a game turn into this huge Jacksonville thing? 251 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: Like I said before, I was on in New York 252 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 1: with a buddy of mine, Mike k you know that 253 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: we're talking about it, and I told him, I said, 254 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, the way people talk about this, I'm starting 255 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: to realize that I've been bullied most of my life, 256 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, free and Bologne, and uh, you know, I 257 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: don't I don't understand it, and and you know everyone 258 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: gets on me. You know, it's not even that I 259 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: bring it up, or it's just people ask what happened 260 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: one day? Do you do after a game? And that's 261 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: that's that's what I like to do, and that's that's 262 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: what I like to eat. Obviously it's not the picture 263 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: of perfect me. I'm not the picture perfect health guy. 264 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: So I mean, but I like it, you know, And 265 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't know why people stereotype. You know, I'm learning 266 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: so much about you know, how your stereotyped, how you bullied, 267 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: everything that goes on. But um, it's just it's just crazy. 268 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: And like I said, my focus is you know, earning 269 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,599 Speaker 1: the right to eat that Blowe sandwich, I winning a 270 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: game on Sunday.

I mean when uh, 332 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: when Roger Feders playing tennis, we're big fed fans, and uh, 333 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: you know it's there's a little bit of that in 334 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: terms of the you know nerves. Uh when he plays 335 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: for a long time as a big Seattle SuperSonics fan 336 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: but had trouble following them to Clema City in Seattle 337 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: when we were second third grade. H that's all it takes, 338 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: so um, And then I became a big fan of 339 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: seventy nine when they won the title and then the 340 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: Camp Payton years. I was really into it, but once 341 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: they left it was hard to get that. You know. 342 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: That was probably my last yell at the TV team. 343 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: I think we know who you are based on the 344 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: color of your shirt. You're a big Clemson fan Syracuse. 345 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: Mind you that John is also a Florida Gator alumni 346 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: and didn't even mention herefor you wouldn't know that covered 347 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: Florida for two or three years as as a beat guy. 348 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: For me, it becomes tough to cover a team and 349 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: have a yell at the TV approach once you've covered 350 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: a team. So that's just guess how I'm on? Do 351 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: we need to ask? Is there any other thing in 352 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: your life? Okay? That's it. That's all I need. It's simple, 353 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: like a lot of Florida fans would speak. How about 354 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: a quick run through big things? All right? Big thing one? John, 355 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: Guess what it's Leonard's leg went through drills yesterday. Look healthy. 356 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: They're changing it up a bit this week. We're going 357 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: to hear from Leonard today on Friday. I dare say 358 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: the expectation as he plays this week. Yeah, I expect 359 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: he'll play. Yeah, I mean it's uh, I'm expecting him 360 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: not to be on the injury report. And what that 361 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: means is the way they do the injury report. Now, 362 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: if you're off of that status report, probable is gone. 363 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: So you're uh expected to play and it's an issue 364 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: if you don't. So I expect that to be what 365 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: the status is, and I think big things On Monday, 366 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: we'll have Leonard's leg is one sort of Swan song, 367 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: and you will report on how he did. The truth 368 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: of the matter is, though, is that he'll be working 369 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: on this hamstring the rest of the season. Yeah, this 370 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: won't go away, well uh may it may not be 371 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: an issue the rest of this season, but but it'll 372 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: have to be something that will all be conscious of. 373 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: I know that when they hand the ball to him 374 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. People who go to Wonders you get 375 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: back on and on Monday morning. You know, if you've 376 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: been around this game, like we have long enough, you 377 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: want to know, Okay, how do you feel this morning? Right? 378 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: What did a night of rest do for you? Kind 379 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: Of like an a c L. When a guy has 380 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: an a c L, it isn't the day that he practices, 381 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: You go, well, he looks great, right, he ran all 382 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: over the field and he cut and he jumped, all right, 383 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: So what's the knee like on the next day. So 384 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna wonder how do you feel today and on Thursdays? 385 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: And I get that nobody wants to put the effort 386 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: into make a new graphic. But t J's ankle is 387 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: also I think as big of an issue in terms 388 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: of how they're going to run their offense. They need 389 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: both of these backs healthy. Then being healthy and not 390 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: only helps them, it's a huge factor in how they 391 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: can use Corey Grant. And I'm a broken record. I 392 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: want to see the offense some of the scheme that 393 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: they used against Atlanta, where all three of these guys 394 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: are healthy. It wants I think that is the dynamic 395 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: offense waiting to happen that we haven't seen really yet. 396 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: Even the Patriots game was more just throwing downfield in 397 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: those crossing routes. It wasn't what we saw that night. 398 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: I think that if if they can get those three 399 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: guys healthy, that will be the dynamic offense that fans 400 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: are hoping to see. The barometer on the health of 401 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: the running back group, Will you Brandon Wilds how many 402 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: weeks he is either active or inactive, or how many 403 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: weeks he stays on the active roster before they might 404 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: put them back on the practice squad. Is there a 405 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Wild's graphic coming to or is it um? Okay? 406 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: All right? But but you get the point, I mean 407 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: actualect that that Brandon Wilds will be one of five 408 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: running backs active. Yeah, I think you gotta keep him 409 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: acting consolutely, have to keep him even if, and that 410 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: might be the best gauge on how they feel about him, 411 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: which is why I use the word so, I mean if, 412 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: but I think even if both yelling in or up, 413 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: I can't see while it's not being active Sunday Aluly, 414 00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you see all and then I 415 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: I think next week is going to be interesting because 416 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: how good do you feel about either of these guys 417 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: or did you see something during the week or are 418 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: you just worried about the hamstring and the probability that 419 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: says that it could happen again like that? So you've 420 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: got to have him active. It's ironically one of those 421 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: seasons where you wouldn't mind an early season, by which 422 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: usually don't want you would love an early season by right, 423 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: natigate both of those guys, But you don't get it. Ash, No, 424 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: life isn't fair, John, No, it's not really just way 425 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: to hold on. Okay, go ahead. I just I say 426 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: that at home all the time, and just I was 427 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: imagining that you were making some people think life should 428 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: be fair. Ash agreed, But it's fair today. It never 429 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: will be, all right, big thing too is supposed to win. 430 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: So we've been talking about the Kansas City game next 431 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: week and how it's gonna be a tough matchup this week. 432 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: We're not saying that much. These are games on paper 433 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: where the Jaguars just look like the better team, and 434 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: these are games that you are supposed What stands out 435 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: is a year ago, at this point, we were just 436 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: kind of starting to think that there were these games 437 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: for the Dragons based on what we had seen in 438 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: Houston and I in London. But this team this year 439 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: has some of these games, John, some of these ones 440 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: where your point and go. You have to win that game, 441 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: not because you need to stay in the race or 442 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: you need to get a leg up on the race, 443 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: but because you're supposed to win. It goes to show 444 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: you how far this team has come in the last year. 445 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: It does. And at the same time, if they're supposed 446 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: to win, and they will win if they stopped the run. 447 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: If they don't, this is a tricky matchup, which is 448 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: kind of how the league is. But to your point, 449 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: you need to win this one, and there are some 450 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: games within the division that you need to win because 451 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: the teams don't look strong to get the foundation for 452 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: what ought to be a ten or eleven twelve win season. Um, 453 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: I think they do win this game. I think the 454 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: fact that it's at home as opposed at New York, 455 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: and I think the fact that you are a more mature, 456 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: consistent defensive team than you were this time last year 457 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: speaks to what you're talking about, the growth from one 458 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: year to the next. They weren't a consistent defensive team 459 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: early last season. I think they are that consistent even 460 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: though they've lost one already. The defense has been consistent 461 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: still their calling card. I think that's why they're supposed 462 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: to win and will win. So you recall that this 463 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: Jets game in Week four, ironically last year was the 464 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: game in which the Jaguars went oh with their run defense, 465 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: and I think it was when they started saying, okay, 466 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: how do we fix this when they trade for Marcel Darius, 467 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: you know they fix it. Um. Two yards. One of 468 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: them was that broken play and they didn't get touched down. 469 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: It was also compounded by also not being able to 470 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: stop the Rams when they needed to stop them, ringing. 471 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: That game started here, Todd Gurley red hard. So this 472 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: was that game and followed by the Rams game. And 473 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: so I'm anxious to see, you know, how they saw 474 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: because remember coaches said they give a hundred fifty rushing 475 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: yards last week. Now Mariota had fifty one of those. Uh, 476 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of those were sneaky run At the 477 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: end of the game. The thirteen yards you know on 478 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: third down in one were Telvin Smith. By the way, 479 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: he said that he was held. The league said that 480 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: he was held. Um. But you're going into a game 481 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: against these two backs and you know you need to 482 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: stop them, and they didn't do a good job last week. Well, 483 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: so much of stopping the run, too, is you stop 484 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: if the offense had played last week. Your defense is 485 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: your Your offense is your defense the way it was 486 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: supposed to play. Then you stopped the run in the 487 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: first half. I don't know if they ran for in 488 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: the first half, but it didn't feel like Tennessee controlled 489 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: the game in your first half. Well, at that point, 490 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: you get that turnover, you get a touchdown, Tennessee can't 491 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: run the way they want to run in the second half, 492 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: and your yards are probably closer to eighty or nineties. 493 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: So some of statistics in the NFL becomes circumstantial based 494 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: on what did it didn't happen in a game. You 495 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: would hope against the Jets that you stopped them early, 496 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: you get a turnover, you get ahead, and then the 497 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: Jets don't have the option of running late to your 498 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: yard's come way down, which I think is what I 499 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. But it's why early run defense in 500 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: this game, not allowing them to gash the gaps like 501 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: Doug was talking about, it's so key. Jaguars allowed twenty 502 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: six rushing yards to the Titans in the in the 503 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: first half. See actually, if you multiplied like too, it's 504 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: fifty two, which again they've been up in the second 505 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: If they've been up in the second half, you're probably 506 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: talking about sixty yard game. And and we're all talking 507 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: about how the denimally great this defense is. I took 508 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: matth I just want to update on something I made 509 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: the comparison. I said, if Marcel Darius played well and 510 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: if they got a big performance from Leonard for net 511 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: this year, that the Jaguars colude rival the Ravens in 512 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: two thousand and be one of those great defenses, at 513 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: least in terms of points allowed through three games. The 514 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars have allowed forty four points through three games in 515 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: two thousand. The Ravens allowed then right on that pace, 516 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: and against show how good they are. No touchdowns when 517 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: they've been leading by less than ten. It's it's uh. 518 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: By the way, they're tied with the Ravens for the 519 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: fewest points allowed so forth through three games. Yeah, they 520 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: are playing defense at high level. I get that. I 521 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: get what they were talking about at the end of 522 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: the last game, where there are things they could have done, 523 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: and there were things they could have done in the 524 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: run game better. But it's it's a high standard to 525 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: think you're going to stop the run the entire game 526 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: if the other team continues to try to run. They 527 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: did enough to take them out of the running game, 528 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: and the offense didn't help all right, big thing three 529 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: is homestand, and so we've all three been talking about 530 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: isn't this week a must win game? And it is 531 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: because you have to win in front of this home 532 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: crowd before going to Kansas City, before going to Dallas, 533 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: before going to London. This is where you need to 534 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: take advantage of the opportunity given to you and win 535 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: at home. So the Draggons will play her Sunday, and 536 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: then over the next forty nine days between now and 537 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: November eighth, they will have one game at t i 538 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: A bank Field that is on what is one against 539 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. So the three game homestand has been nice. 540 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: It's yeah, Saturday nights at home, it's been fantastic. Um. However, 541 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: now is and the London thing is, if you've looked 542 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years that they've gone to London, 543 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: there's been this big gap in the middle of the 544 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: season because of the London's If that's what it does 545 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: is it gives you this long period, this long stretch 546 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: away from home. You have to take advantge because you're 547 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: going to campsasit next week where the crowd is going 548 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: to be decidedly against you. I mean that is a 549 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: place where you feel it. Uh so take advantage of 550 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: it while you got it, because you're not gonna have 551 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: it again, right, absolutely for a long time. And just 552 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: to win in front of these fans, I mean you 553 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: saw the fans in have to top of the off 554 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: the rails last week. To win in front of these fans, 555 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: give them hope again before going on that huge home 556 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: stretch or away stretch. Bring him back happy, bring him 557 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: back against the the Texans in late October, and in 558 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: in a bigger picture, if if, if you win this, Yeah, 559 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: the NFL is so weak to week that the reason 560 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: people joke around about overreaction Monday, you so overreact to 561 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: what happened the day before. And I get that. Um, 562 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: if you win this, your three and one a game 563 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: better than they were. You were going a game better 564 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: than you were your ago, especially if the defense plays 565 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: as you would expect it to. So now you've got 566 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: a month where you've proven to yourself we're as good 567 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: defensively as we believe we are. Um, if sitting here 568 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: in August, I was hoping that they would get to 569 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: the week four, two and two are better because I 570 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: think the schedule later on in the season plays to 571 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: it at Giants home against New England home against Tennessee. 572 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: Really concerned me. I was worried you might lose all three, 573 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: and not because they were a bad team, but because 574 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: circumstances dictated. You go to New York on the road. 575 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: That's dicey. Opening against Eli Man could go either way. Well, 576 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots of the Patriots and then Tennessee matched up. 577 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: So you beat the Jets, your three and one coming 578 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: out of that, I think they beat Kansas City. I'll 579 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: go into more next week, but uh, you win against 580 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: the Jets, you're three and one. You're absolutely fine. In 581 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: terms of how you plan out your season. There's only 582 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: what the Rams chiefs. There's just three or four undefeated 583 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: teams heading into this weekend. There will be at least one, 584 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: obviously because the Rams wren last night. Um, who knows 585 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: how many there will be? At three? Three and one 586 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: is this infect which just puts the onus on winning 587 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Jets. All Right, we'll take a 588 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: break when we come back. He will, he won't, he might. Plus, 589 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: we'll all pick one game and then we'll pick.

Normally, when you have a 615 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: a f C team in an a f city hosting 616 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: an a f C team, that would be on CBS. 617 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: But TV's changed. The rules are all different, so you 618 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: gotta look. You can't just assume anymore. It is on 619 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: Fox thirty here in Jacksonville, presented by our friends at 620 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: Baptist Hell, Brian Ashland. John time for he will, he won't, 621 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: he might our declarative statements on players individuals in Sunday's Gamers, 622 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: And you're chuckling, so you must want to go first. 623 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: Sure I can go first. I was laughing at John's 624 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: getting ready. I chose D. D. Westbrook as my will 625 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: he will, he won't? He might? He will bounce back. 626 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: I think this entire wide receiver group bounce back, but 627 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: him in particular. I think he has a better game 628 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: this week. He won't be the guy that we're talking 629 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: about after the game, saying what happened, what happened to 630 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: the unit, what happened to the player. I don't see 631 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: us talking about d D. Westbrook in the wide receivers 632 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: as a whole after the game. He might cut a 633 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: touchdown past this game we saw against New England. We 634 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: saw that awesome touchdown Dancy has. We might see it 635 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: this week. He's the guy that need to get going, 636 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,959 Speaker 1: Yes he is. He's kind of in between. He's um, 637 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: You've got Keelan Cole obviously in Dante Moncrief, who were 638 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: the starters. But this is a guy who can run 639 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: across the middle of the field. He is a catch 640 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: then run guy. He isn't necessarily the run to catch. 641 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: He's the catch to run. You understand that. We saw 642 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: it on the Patriots. I don't think he's the go 643 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: route all the way down the field. He's the guy 644 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: over the middle of the field. He's the guy that 645 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: was not available last week because of the way that 646 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: the Titans played defense. I worry so much less about 647 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: d D than I did late last see. I wasn't 648 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: sure about d late last saison, even know he was 649 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: putting up numbers wasn't sure that he was grasping the 650 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: offense as a rookie. H And you wondered if he 651 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: would get that remarkable turnaround me in terms of his approach, 652 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: in terms of his knowledge of the offense, in terms 653 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: of what they are saying about him. Uh, he hasn't 654 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: gotten it going statistically, probably the way he wants to 655 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: have it going. But in watching him and watching the 656 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: way he's running routes and watching the way he's playing, 657 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: I have no doubt that. You know, it may not 658 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: be a completely but you know, it's hard to do 659 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: this in the NFL. He just goes straight up. But 660 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: I think he's going to continue going like this where 661 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a really good player. And 662 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: we talk all the time about having a tight end 663 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: or a deep ball receiver that can take a safety 664 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: with him down the field, but DDI Westbrook can attract. 665 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: If he continues to be that playmaker in the middle 666 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: of the field, he'll open things up because that safety 667 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: is gonna have to be waiting on him and find 668 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: him first. He's a pretty tough guy too. I wasn't 669 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: sure about that last year. He's pretty you know he uh, 670 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: he likes to play. Yeah, you saw him take some 671 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: hits against the Patriots where you didn't think he's gonna 672 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: get up immediately. Well, and I'll also say this because 673 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: remember there were questions about him and his maturity in 674 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: the off the field thing. But I forget the off 675 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: the field has not been an issue. Um. But he 676 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: stood in the locker room on Sunday after that loss, 677 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: and he didn't play very well. You were standing right there. 678 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: His body language said, man, I am miserable right now. 679 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: I did not play very well. We didn't play very well. 680 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: And then he stood there and answered question after question. 681 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: He looked you in the eye. Um. I thought it 682 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: was a grown up moment for d D. And good 683 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: for him for for for grasping what's available to him, 684 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: what the situation is in this offense, in in this 685 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: locker room, for him to grow as a player. He's 686 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: turned into a pro at a pretty early age to 687 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: do it, so as it takes longer. And again, I 688 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: think that's why he's gonna be h. He's gonna be good, 689 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: really good, John, You're not. I believe I went with 690 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: that unique and got way um and been a bit 691 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: of a story this week. He will play well. And 692 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: there's been a little bit of a concern among people 693 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: who I think don't really watch the film, don't talk 694 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: to people. Is he is he playing okay because he 695 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: has had a sack. He's playing out of this world. Uh, 696 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: you don't always get sacks in the NFL when you're 697 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: playing well, because sex is a statistic, unlike offensive stats, 698 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: where you can control what you do. Uh, defensive stats. 699 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: If if the ball is out when you get there, 700 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: it's not always your fault. Um. So his quote this 701 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: week sort of made me laugh because he said something 702 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: along the lines of, you know, it's it's about respect. 703 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: He's getting doubled a lot more, and he basically said, well, 704 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: you should double me because I'll you know, if you don't, 705 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: I'll mess up your day. And I'm not quoting him 706 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: very well, but that was the gist of it. He 707 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: knows he's playing well, he knows he's good. It's not arrogance. 708 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: When Todd wash talks about him and when Doug Brown 709 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: talks about him, they talk about this guy who is 710 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: incredibly studious about the game, who breaks down his own 711 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: flaws and strengths. So when he says he's playing well, 712 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: he's not bragging about it. He knows he's playing well, 713 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: he would say if he wasn't. It's the home run effect, 714 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: it's the slam dunk effect the casual fan. And most 715 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: people are casual fans, no matter what you might think. 716 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: They want to see the big play, the home run, 717 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: the slam dog, the sack, strip, forced fumble, the whole 718 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: nine yards. They don't see that he is chasing the 719 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: quarterback and making him get rid of the ball quickly 720 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: and playing the run better neighbors than absolutely. Uh, he 721 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: won't worry about all that. He knows. Um. He was 722 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: thrown out of stat when we talked to him this 723 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: week that Michael Strahan I think the year's strayhand set 724 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: the set set the sack record. He didn't have a 725 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: sack until week four. I asked him how he knew that, 726 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: and he said, well, I know football, so it wasn't 727 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: like he'd been told. I figured maybe somebody said, hey, 728 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: don't worry about strand of this, but he knew. So 729 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: he's not worried. Some guys press when they're not getting 730 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: the sacked numbers better because it's gonna be money for 731 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's smart enough to know that sacks mean dollars, 732 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: but he's also smart enough to know that he can't 733 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: control that. He's got to keep playing and then when 734 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: you turn the film on, he's good. He might break 735 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: out this week. And I know we've been saying that 736 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: all the wait, but if they can stop the run early, 737 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: then you can peel your your ears back and go 738 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: to the quarterback. I think they do stop the run 739 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: earlier this week is they're so focused on it. A 740 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, I don't care how good his eyes are downfield, 741 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: holds the ball a second longer. This might be unique week. 742 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: It might seem self evident that you have in a 743 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: locker room a lot of players that care about football. Now, 744 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: you do have in some locker rooms guys who don't 745 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: care all that much, um, But in the locker room 746 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: like that, where there are a lot of guys, he 747 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: might care more than anyone about in a way that matters. 748 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody sort of cares about it because it's 749 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: their money. But he is and he's smart enough take 750 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: that caring and know how to work and how to 751 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: get better. Some people work and well, they're not working 752 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: on the right thing. He anytime you talk to a coach, 753 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: they talk about how good he is it. Okay, this 754 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: is really a flaw that I have. Here's how I 755 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: really make it better. You can work and work on 756 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: the wrong things. Somebody like to work on what they 757 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: already do well. He has worked on his weaknesses and 758 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: has turned into a fantastic player. He's the kind of guy. 759 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: If you didn't know him, if you wanted to go 760 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: interview him in the locker room, you'd see him come 761 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: by with his intensely intense look on his face and 762 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: think yeah. But if you know him, you understand that 763 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: he will say, oh yeah, sure, absolutely. He likes to 764 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: explain who he is and what he's about. I love him. 765 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: I think he's just one of the best interviews in 766 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,720 Speaker 1: the locker room and a go to guy for sure. Okay, 767 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: I'll go with Marcel Darius as my guy this week. Um. 768 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: He will dominate the interior of the Jets offensive line. Uh. 769 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: If you watched him the last couple of weeks, you 770 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: saw him win his one on one matchups. He is 771 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 1: a true two gap guy. In the Patriots game, in particular, 772 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: he was throwing guys around, putting them at the legs 773 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: of Tom Brady and it made him nervous. Uh, he 774 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: is bound to collapse the pocket this week and create 775 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: problems for Sam Donald. The rookie quarterback will not be 776 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: able to set his feet and be comfortable because Marcel 777 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: Darius will wreck the inside of the Jets offensive line. Uh, 778 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: he won't. I don't know what he won't do. I 779 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: don't because he'll I think this week he'll do. He 780 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: won't do at all what he was not supposed to do, right, 781 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean, um nothing, Yeah, I got nothing. Only I 782 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: won't that maybe the first time, and he will. He won't. 783 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: He might, that has happened, but he might create two 784 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: or three turnovers that the Jaguars can take back for touchdowns. 785 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come from the middle of this 786 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: defense this week because Donald's gonna want to step up 787 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: into the pocket, and I think he's going to establish 788 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: for the rest of the defensive line the ability because 789 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: they're not gonna be able to handle him. I think 790 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: this is the game that Unique gets off, or that 791 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: Calais does, because there are too many bodies thinking where 792 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: is ninety nine? He might be the sole focus of 793 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: that offensive line before the first quarters done well, I'll 794 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: do your job for you here, he he won't. I 795 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: got one for you. He won't necessarily be gone next year. 796 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: I think there has been an assumption because of his contract, 797 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: because he was acquired in a trade that you know, 798 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: and what we're talking about here is everybody's looking at 799 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: guys who got you've got too much money. But I 800 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: think he's too good, and I think he's too young, 801 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: he's too good, he's too important. Um. I don't think 802 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: he's necessarily the guy to go. And I think the 803 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: more that he's about the run defense before he was 804 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: here thirty nine yards a game allowed. I don't think 805 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: he's necessarily the guy to go. I felt that since 806 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: the offseason. I wondered if he would maintain what he 807 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 1: did the last half the last season, because again, sometimes 808 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: guys who come in new acquired, you're not sure what 809 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: they are. He is fit in and talking to him, 810 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: you would think he was drafted here, meaning there's sometimes 811 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: a different tone to a guy who comes in if 812 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: they're not draft to do a place. He feels like 813 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: a Jaguar. I'm getting a sense he's going to be 814 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: your night teams. I'll tell you we talked about the 815 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: home run effect, and how people don't see how well 816 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: unique in Gowquoy is playing when he doesn't have the 817 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: sack and the explosive play. They rarely people rarely pay 818 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: attention to the trench in the very middle of the 819 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: line where he lives, and he is owning it. He 820 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: is playing at such a high level, and yet most 821 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: people don't watch the position, so they can't tell um 822 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: watch him this Sunday. Watch how he uses his hands 823 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: and how his first step generally is lifting someone up 824 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: and carrying them backwards. He has been sensational if you 825 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: didn't mean to do anything else for your great personality too. 826 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: We interviewed him for Jaguars f a Q this week 827 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: and we went up to me. He was like, Marcel, 828 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: you want to play a Jaguars triviuta game about your teammates? 829 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: Like I don't know. And then he comes back two 830 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: minutes later with all his bling on and goes, okay, 831 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm ready now. He's a great guy. He is a 832 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: fun guy in that locker room. Okay, ah, yes, pick 833 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: one game, then pick it. Pick one game and pick it. 834 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: I have the Kansas City Cheats Chiefs versus the Denver Broncos, 835 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: the Broncos highest passer rating aloud through three weeks. Now 836 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: they have Patrick Mahomes coming in elite quarterback. I gotta 837 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: go Chiefs here just because of him. Um. You know 838 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: everyone is leaning towards Kansas City these days because Mahomes 839 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 1: is such an explosive guy. But the Chiefs defense is 840 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: dead last in the NFL, and Case Keenom has played well, 841 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: played well on the road last week, even though the 842 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: Broncos didn't come away with the win. I'm gonna go 843 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: with Denver at home, just because I know Kansas City 844 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: well and I know that Denver is never a place 845 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: they've played well. Going back through the ages, They've struggled 846 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 1: to perform in Denver. And I'm gonna say this week, Denver, 847 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: with its defense and with Case Keenom, gets the win 848 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: over Kansas City and brings him down to earth. John. 849 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: I agree with Brian um and that, and that they 850 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 1: haven't played a great defense yet. They played the Chargers 851 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: without both Obviously botha will be back until in November, right, 852 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: but not quite the same defense. The next two weeks 853 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: are huge tests for the Chiefs. I agree with Brian. 854 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs lose this and I think they 855 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: lose next week. Sell C H I E F S. 856 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: But that made me just maybe just is there anything 857 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: else he can do to help you do your job? Okay, 858 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: I assume that was Matt Ashlands fells things wrong quite often. 859 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: I think this is a big one. Dolphins Patriots. Um, 860 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: it has become vogue to say the Patriots are done. Uh. 861 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: Anyone who says that has not followed their recent history. Well, 862 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,800 Speaker 1: but this is a different down. May I got what 863 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: people are saying. They've lost two in a row by 864 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: double digits. You know, Brady's only once ever lost three 865 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: consecutive games once into so this is a big litmus 866 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: test for him. It's a big chance for the Dolphins 867 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: to prove there for real. It just feels like one 868 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: where you know, obviously it's a huge sway. If the 869 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: Patriots lose this, they might be done in terms of 870 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: the division because it's it's hard four and o versus 871 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: one and three. It's a three game stretch. I can't 872 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, I spell, but you did that. I do numbers, um, 873 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: but I just can't see the Patriots losing. It's at home. 874 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: I think they win. I think they win big. I'll 875 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: go with the Patriots as well, and not because I look. 876 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: I think that if the Titans did anything last week here, 877 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: they exposed the Patriots. They showed us that the Patriots 878 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: front seven is not very good. Uh. And the Patriots 879 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: lost Rex Birkhead. They've already lost Jeremy Hill, so now 880 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: they're leaning on Sony Michelle to be able to run 881 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: the ball. They don't look like they're set up for 882 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: a deep run this year. However, this quarterback in the division, 883 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: his record is off the chart. Um, I'll go with 884 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots at home to break the losing streak. It 885 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: would be huge for the Dolphins to win, you know 886 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: how they don't like national media attention. If they were 887 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots would be so big for that organization. 888 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: But I just can't see the Patriots losing this one. 889 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: I wonder if Darius Rutger will be as good on 890 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: stage here at Daily's Place on Sunday night if the 891 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: Patriots pound the Dolphins. You know, the Dolphins make him cry. 892 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: Dolphins has the first clue. But I like Darius Rucker. 893 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: You know what, do you know his previous life before 894 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: he went Western? Right? But you don't know that song. 895 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: I only know I only want to be with you. 896 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 1: That one that's the song in that there is a 897 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: line that says the Dolphins man try. Nobody understood what 898 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,240 Speaker 1: it was. He later explained it as the Miami Dolphins 899 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: made him. Crist's a huge Dolphins fan. He is a 900 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins fan. He's a big Dolphins fan. You learned something 901 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: new every day, maybe two things. Maybe I'll go with 902 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: Baltimore Pittsburgh. This has become in the twenty one years 903 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: that the Ravens have been in Baltimore, this has become 904 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: a must watch game, even in a year in which 905 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: the Steelers don't look to be as powerful. And by 906 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: the way, the Ravens have a pretty good record at 907 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: Hines Field. They have played well on the road. Right, 908 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: this is a big litmus test game for you better 909 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: it was they are? What are? They won one and one? 910 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: They're playing without living in bell That circus still continues 911 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: to brew because this week they talked in Pittsburgh about 912 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: all right, if you've got a trade proposition for it 913 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: for us, you know we're listening to this um. The 914 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: Ravens looked horrible last year. Joe Flacco did not did 915 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: not impress anyone, and yet He's played pretty solid this year. 916 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: Their defense is playing well. I'm gonna go with the 917 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: Ravens on the road to keep Pittsburgh reeling. Go ahead, 918 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Ravens as well. I think 919 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's in trouble. I don't think they look like the 920 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 1: Steelers were used to seeing well. Their defense certainly, and 921 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens could have done. Pittsburgh wins this 922 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: only because it's just a game. They win. Um, They're 923 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: not as bad as their start indicates. I think they 924 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: got stunned a little bit by Kansas City. Uh. Cleveland's 925 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: better than people expected. I don't think that game is 926 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: is a humiliation to tie the Browns uh. And and 927 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: they got back on track with Tampa bayanning they win 928 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: this A that'll do it for pick one, then pick 929 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: it plus. He will, he won't, he might. When we return, 930 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: Mike Dempsey will be with us.

All right, we end 951 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: the week on a high Notes Fantasy Football, Ryan Ashland, 952 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 1: John Mike Dempsey fantasy Guru. You hear him on tinten. 953 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 1: You hear him on serious satellite right to his guru, 954 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: right term you like, you go with that fantasy So 955 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't go by that, but they do go 956 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: by that. Well, how would be a generic term? That's fine. 957 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: They call him fantasy boy. Now they want you just 958 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 1: made that up? Goodnight, everybody. I'm glad you're here. Uh, 959 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: hit us with your he will he won't, he Mike 960 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: before we get into the alright, we go Austin Seferian 961 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: Jenkins and I'll go. He will be key as a 962 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,399 Speaker 1: two way performer, particularly with Wonder Fournett hopefully coming back 963 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: this week. I think as a blocker in the running game, 964 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: and I think he has a chance to be, you know, 965 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 1: maybe a fifty sixty yard reception guy going up against 966 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: his former team. Not that it's a big revenge game 967 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: or anything for him, but I think he'll be a 968 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: key performer. He won't be seen as much of a 969 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: drop off I think this year compared to Marcedes Lewis 970 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: in the blocking department. I think that's one thing everybody's 971 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: noted since he's been here. He's been really exceptional in 972 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 1: that area. And uh, he might lead this team in 973 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns this year. You know, he should have to 974 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: at this point had the one taken off the board 975 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: with the Norwell hands of the face penalty. So I 976 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: think he's got a chance. You know, I don't think 977 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 1: that number is gonna be in double digit. So I 978 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: think he's got a chance, you know, for six seven 979 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: something in that range. Al Right, He's right because I 980 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 1: think he gets better when Forte gets back to its 981 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 1: little affirmation this morning from Well I like you after 982 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: Fantasy Boy, He's got to make it up. Uh. Speaking 983 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 1: of Fantasy Boy, John was fan see Boy of the 984 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: Week last week ninety three points. That's a high score 985 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: of the season so far. Ashlyn had about a third 986 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: of her total from the last each of the last 987 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: two weeks thirty one. On the low end, Brian, you're 988 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: gonna have the first pick today. You've got two two overall. 989 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: We're going by the overall points. So John's moved into 990 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: third place with two oh eight. Here comes Ashland has 991 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 1: fallen back a spot to two fifteen. And Uh, I'm 992 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: steady Eddie seventy five points last week, I'm at two 993 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 1: forty six. I'll have the last pick that leaves Brian, 994 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: who I love the fact that you've got your own 995 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: cheat sheet all written out and ready to go. Well, 996 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: you see, I wasn't gonna go with any of the 997 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 1: big guys this week. I've been trying to kind of 998 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 1: just stay in the game, save those um so I'm 999 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: gonna go with case Keenum against Kansas City's thirty second 1000 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 1: ranked defense. I don't think that's a bad selection at all. 1001 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 1: All right, John ninety three points last week? What are 1002 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,839 Speaker 1: you doing for a follow up here? I think I've 1003 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: taken him yet. I'm going Trey Burton versus the buccaneer. 1004 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,239 Speaker 1: Trey burt a tight end versus the Bucks, and they 1005 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 1: are awful against everybody defensively. Right now, Ashland, You're up next, 1006 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes, I'm not I'm saving Mahomes, not 1007 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: that I have a chance to take him now that 1008 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: he's off the board. Let's see here, I'm gonna go 1009 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 1: with Melvin Gordon versus San Francisco is my running back. 1010 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna go with Antonio Brown at wide receiver. 1011 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,399 Speaker 1: Go a little big this week, right off the bat, 1012 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: and I think that game is a bit of a 1013 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: shoot at between Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Ashland back to you 1014 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: with one or two, just with one's picking on the 1015 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: end for so long she thinks she gets to every 1016 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: single time. But mahomes at Barkley for you. So far, John, 1017 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 1: you've got Trey Burton. I'm going uh, Tom Brady, Tom Brady, Okay, 1018 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: he bounces back and uh versus the Dolphins. Maybe with 1019 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon in the lineup, Brian, you get back to 1020 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: picks here. I'm going to go with Michael Thomas for 1021 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 1: New Orleans in New York and Tevin Coleman for Atlanta 1022 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Get him in while you can. Right with 1023 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,399 Speaker 1: the Divisa Freeman looking like him is another week, I agree, John, 1024 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 1: Nita running back or a wide receiver for you. I 1025 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: don't think i've taken Carlos Hide yet. Okay, I don't 1026 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: think you have either, And you have now Ashland wide 1027 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: receiver or a tight end. I'm gonna go Jarvis Landry. 1028 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: I think I've taken him yet. Landry looked like Mayfield 1029 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 1: wanted to target him heavily last week. All right, so 1030 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 1: I need a quarterback and a tight end here. I 1031 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 1: might as well just go all in. I'll go Travis 1032 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 1: Kelsey for the Chiefs and I'm gonna go with I'm 1033 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 1: gonna go with Matt Ryan to stay hot at home, 1034 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 1: I think since he has a pretty good defense, but 1035 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 1: they're throwing the ball so well, so I'll roll with him. 1036 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 1: So Ashland back to you for a tight end. Pick 1037 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: just one, just one tight end. I was gonna pick two. 1038 00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go generation Benjamin Watson. Watson. That's a nice 1039 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 1: played this week, too, Very nice. John. Need your wide receiver, 1040 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 1: do you, Mike? I thought there were a lot of 1041 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: good options to wider sier this week. That's why I 1042 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 1: saved it to last. Did you? Very strategic? I'm torn, 1043 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: but I'm going ay, Rob Okay, that's a great pick 1044 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: I think against Tampa uh and tight end, Brian, I'll 1045 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,840 Speaker 1: go with O. J. Howard for the Bucks in Chicago. 1046 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that Uh. The quarterback is gonna have 1047 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: a lot of time to stand in the pocket and throw, 1048 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 1: and Howard it's going to be a better option than 1049 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 1: the deep balld too. Sean Jackson, all right, Bryan Sexton, 1050 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: as Case, Keenum, Tevin Coleman, Michael Thomas, and O. J. Howard. 1051 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 1: John's got Tom Brady, Carlos Hide, Allen Robinson and Trey 1052 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 1: Burton loading up on the bears there Ashton with Patrick 1053 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes trying to keep the hot street going, say Kwan Barkley, 1054 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry and Benjamin Watson. I have Matt Ryan, Melvin Gordon, 1055 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and Travis Kelsey. Is there any question he's 1056 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: just gonna blow us out of the water this year? 1057 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a funny thing. We're doing this 1058 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,839 Speaker 1: on The Pretty Show for more years now. Have won 1059 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 1: one of them. So the spread here in points, if 1060 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm looking right, is uh forty four points at the moment? Okay, 1061 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 1: at the moment? Is that is that a standard? I mean, 1062 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 1: does that look like it's normally how it is? Or 1063 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,719 Speaker 1: John beat Ashland by sixty two this week? Right? So 1064 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean my point being you can make it.
