1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: I was celebrating twenty five years of Jaguars football. You're 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: run in the gun broke, He's got Jimmy put out, 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: putdown Jaguars. Did you Jack, Jack Warris? Did you? Jaguars 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: Drive Time? Ryan Sex steps that, John Oh shows it Ashley. 5 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time starts right now. Good morning, Welcome to 6 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time Thursday morning, brought to you by Fields 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: Auto Group, as we get ready for the Saints to 8 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: come to town that game presented by Hannonia on Sunday. 9 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: The more we talk about this game, the more I 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: realized how much of a challenge it's going to be 11 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: for sure on Sunday. Well, all you have to do 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: is look at it. By the way, good morning. Um. 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: All you have to do is look at the Saints 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: roster to understand that over time they have drafted well. 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: Their offensive line is filled with draft choices who are 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: playing well. Um Thomas sensational. The tight end they signed 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Jared Cook is a guy and Jaguar fans remember him 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: from Tennessee and then he went to the Rams and 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: he has given the Jaguars problems every time they play him. 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: Uh and if you saw him last weekend, he had 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: a couple of nice catches. He is a matchup issue 22 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: for people. He's not a Gronkowski, but he is a 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: very difficult matchup And so when you look just from 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, their defensive side, you're like, hey, I hope 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: Ramsey's playing this week, so he could take Michael Thomas 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: so that you can move some guys around. Then the 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: other side of the ball there they just they have 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: playmakers everywhere, and their secondary is sensational. Von Bell is 29 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: one of the hardest hitting safeties in football and he 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: gets overlooked because Marshawn Lattimore is so So you look 31 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: at the guys he's played against in recent weeks, They've 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: done nothing. Mike Evans did nothing, three targets, sero catches last. 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: But DJ Chark is going to see Marshawn Lattimore all day. 34 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: Do I think that DJ Chark will nothing? I do not. 35 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: I think d J. Shark is a guy because of 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: his length and because of his speed. He's got to 37 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: speed that Mike Evans doesn't have. I think he's going 38 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: to cause problems for the Saints. But this New Orleans team, 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: no matter who the quarterback is, is capable of winning 40 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: in Seattle of beating then undefeated Dallas team, and then 41 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: last week they dismantled. Now they didn't dismand like that, 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: that's but they took away what Bruce Arians wanted to 43 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: do for the Buccaneers. And remember the week before the 44 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: Buccaneers dismantled the Rams in St. Louis points on that 45 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: Saints Rams defense. Remember me, look, I said, oh my gosh. Right, 46 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: And so the Saints handled that with ease last week, 47 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: it appears was the final that game. So when you 48 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: look at the Saints, you have talent on both sides 49 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: of the ball, and then you have Sean Payton, who 50 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: does not get enough credit for being that sensational offensive. Mind, 51 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: everyone's talking about Andy Reid these days for for good reason. 52 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: This guy as good as anyone in the league at 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: what he does, which is putting his players in a 54 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: position to not just succeed, but to destroy a defense. 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: He's really good, very good. And before we get two 56 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: big things, it's crazy that Gardner Minshew is not in 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 1: our big things, but shows how Jalen Ramsey can trump conversation. Yeah, 58 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, this is probably a good time to mention 59 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: that the Gardner Minshew phenomenon just continues to grow. You 60 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: and I both were driving out at the beach last 61 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: night at separate moments and saw the line around the 62 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: store where he was signing autographs. I mean it wasn't 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: just like into the parking, was like around the building 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: multiple times. Uh, And people waited, And that's just it's amazing. 65 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: There have been very popular players here before. When Calais 66 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: Campbell got off to such a great start in people 67 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: were lined up to meet him wherever he was not 68 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: like this, right, Uh, Fred Taylor, Jimmy Smith, Tony basally 69 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Mark we now have all had moments where they were 70 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: those popular men in town and could have any table 71 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: they wanted at any rest run and a line of 72 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: people if they saw them coming to say hello. I 73 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: can't recall and maybe someone can remind me if I'm 74 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: missing it. A player sitting and signing autographs that had 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: a line around the building like that. I went into 76 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: Orange Theory this morning and and I mean it was 77 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: immediately and I go to the five am class, you 78 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: know that we're grabbed by people, Hey, I want to 79 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: know about Minshew. As I'm leaving the next class, there 80 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: were people who wanted to talk about Minshew. It's just 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: it's phenomenal to me that the sixth round pick. And 82 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: I have to say it again, we didn't think that 83 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: much of him, not as a person but as a 84 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: as a player. We just weren't sure what he was 85 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: coming out of August. We talked to Doug before the 86 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: final preseason game and he's like, look, the kid has 87 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: to prove he can be our backup. Now the conversation is, 88 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: what happens when Nick Foles gets healthy? Is Nick the backup? WHOA? 89 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it makes your head spin to 90 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: think about how fast the narrative has changed in Jacksonville. 91 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: It's just it's their moment. It's like what in her 92 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: own calls remarkable. And I don't think we're gonna be 93 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: able to truly think and grasp it until maybe the 94 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: off season when you have time to sit down and think, 95 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: because we're so busy and wrapped up in it right 96 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: now that you haven't realized how fast it's changed. I 97 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: mean I did last night. Yeah, we were. I mean 98 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I went to the gym, came back an hour and 99 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later. The line had not moved, Like I 100 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: saw the same guy with the cat head on that 101 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: made me moved up twelve spots, and I thought to myself, 102 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: I can't recall ever waiting in line like that long 103 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: to meet someone. And I was thinking, like, would I 104 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: ever wait that long to meet someone? Like? Who would 105 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: I wait in line for? And I thought, yeah, no 106 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: one the Pope. That'd be about it. Pope for you, Yeah, 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: the Pope be not the only person Other than that, 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe my thirteen year old self. I 109 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: was talking talking to Patrick having on David Candice over 110 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: the week about my wrestling obsession when I was younger, 111 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: and I loved John Cena when I was a teenager, 112 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: and I thought, you know what, thirteen year old Ashland 113 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: Selvan will probably wait three hours to meet John Cina. 114 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: But that's about it. So for the Pope and John Cena. 115 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: Other than that, no Gardner Minshew, But I would not 116 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: wait three and a half hours. That is crazy to me. 117 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: I would neither. But that just goes to show you 118 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: how people are hungry for a winning personality and this 119 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: gets got one. Yeah, And Patrick was telling us earlier 120 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: this morning that is over twenty thou views on a 121 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: press conference yesterday, first press conference. Now there were press 122 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: conferences in my history that I would sit and wait 123 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: to watch back before the internet. Mike Ditka when he 124 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: was the coach of the Bears. Um so I get that. 125 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: I want to hear what he has to say. And 126 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: Minshew is now must watch on Wednesdays. And there are 127 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: people that come into our space to watch the press 128 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: conferences that we stream live who don't miss it. Do 129 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: not miss it. It's been entertaining, especially for the I'm 130 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: not sure who he reports for, but he calls him 131 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: a different name every single week. If you yeah, it's 132 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: it's a reference to a movie. And of course I 133 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: didn't get it, not being hip like that, but he 134 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: calls him Larry and Barry and Terry and Jerry and Gary. 135 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: Last week says I like Larry better. He goes you 136 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: should change your name. I mean, he didn't even think twice. 137 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: He just the kid. It's just you can see why 138 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: people are drawn to him, why they enjoy him so much. 139 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into big things. Big thing one is, 140 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: of course, Jalen Ramsey. You're obviously a better team with 141 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: him on the field, especially this week with Michael Thomas. 142 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: The entire locker room commented yesterday on Jalen being back 143 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: on the field, Avery Jones said they're a better team 144 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: with him involved. I don't know. I felt like he'll 145 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: tell us. I mean, I forgot where if he decides. 146 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you want to get cup of athletes like 147 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: jailing every once in a while, so I feel like 148 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: if he decides to play, he's gonna be ready. Big 149 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: thing too is Alvin Camara. We saw a guy was 150 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: similar talent that last week with Christian McCaffrey, and after 151 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: talking to guys in the locker room this week, he 152 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: might be even better than Christian McCaffrey. He's a tougher 153 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: running so he's more like down here physical uh. Cavil 154 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: is more like shifty speedback. So both on have good 155 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: routes while receiving type calumny. So that's the big stern 156 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: and big thing. Three is the a f C. South. 157 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: You're still in it right now, the Jaguar as being not. 158 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: The Texans are getting better. However, the Colts just beat 159 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in a huge game. And the meaning of 160 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: this is if you don't start winning now, you're going 161 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: to be out of it before you're even in it. Brian, Yeah, 162 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: let's start there. Um. The Texans play in Kansas City 163 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: this week, and Patrick Mahomes is not They thought might 164 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: get Tyreek killback and that that can be a game 165 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: breaker for them regardless if they go and beat the 166 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs in Kansas City the week after the Colts did. 167 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a clear step forward. The Texans offensive 168 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: line appears to have solidified somewhat. Shaun Watson wasn't beaten 169 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: up last week against the Falcons like he had been 170 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: in previous weeks. They're running game with Carlos Hide is 171 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: really starting to get into that pounded rhythm. We saw 172 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: what the Colts did, and they did it with defense. 173 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: So you've got two teams that are making their step up. 174 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: I think everybody in Jacksonville believes that this defense has 175 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: the ability to play to their level. Certainly they do, 176 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: but the last two weeks they have not. So you 177 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: gotta get your defense started. The offense all of a 178 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: sudden shows the ability to score a bunch of points, 179 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: which again we haven't seen in a long time around here. 180 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: But with those two teams, I think the Titans are 181 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: kind of like this team that you know, win one, 182 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: lose one, win to you know, lose two, you you 183 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: can't afford to get into that kind of a rhythm. 184 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: They have got to find a way to solidify with 185 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: a home game, and they gotta beat a team like 186 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: the Saints that most of the national people don't think 187 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: they can beat, right, They've got to prove that they 188 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: belong with a talented team like this against a very 189 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: good coaching staff. And then you go get the Bengals 190 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: and and they're oh and five at this point, and 191 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: the Jets, who I don't believe they've won a game either. 192 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: You've got these two teams where you can go on 193 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: the road and you can create a little momentum um 194 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: which takes us two big thing one and that is 195 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. And if I didn't say this yesterday, let 196 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: me go on record now. If you want to be 197 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: six and three at the bye week, which with the 198 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, people think, well that's absurd, you can be. 199 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: But Jalen Ramsey has to play, and he has to 200 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: play inspired football. You need the Jalen Ramsey who was 201 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: on the field against the Houston Texans, who held DeAndre 202 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Hopkins to three catches and thirteen yards in man coverage. 203 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: You need the guy who wants to be the highest 204 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: paid defensive player in the game, not the highest paid corner, 205 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: the highest paid defensive player in the game. He has 206 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: got to come to play this week against Michael Thomas 207 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: and you need him. Maybe next week against A. J. Green, 208 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: and then maybe the week in London against DeAndre Hopkins. Again, 209 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: you can win all four of these games, but it's 210 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: clear at this last two weeks this is not the 211 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: same defense without Jalen. It's not. And you might go, well, 212 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: do I mean he's the best player? However, you have 213 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: a loaded front and by the way, players in the 214 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: locker room don't want to hear that. They don't want 215 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: to hear he's the best player. Although I think they 216 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: know it, they don't want to hear they're not the 217 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: same without him. They take offense to that they don't 218 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: think they're that much worse, or they're certainly not going 219 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: to admit that they're not the same without him. But 220 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: they had him against Houston and they absolutely shut down 221 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: an offense that's one of the best in football right now. 222 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: They had him two hundred and sixty yards. Deshaun Watson 223 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: didn't throw a touchdown pass in that ball game. They 224 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: held him to thirteen points one touchdown. The next week 225 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: took a part the Titans, who had the week before 226 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: played inspired football well two weeks before opening day in Cleveland. 227 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: So it's a long way of saying the defense is 228 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: not the same without him, and if you want this 229 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: offense to be its best, you need the defense to 230 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: be its best. It needs JA and I agree. When 231 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: we were in the locker room yesterday when you asked 232 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: about Jalen Ramsey, everyone was very quick to respond saying, yes, 233 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: it's great he's back. However, we have to do a 234 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: game plan with or without him, very scripted, and I 235 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: had two players tell me that that, well, you know, look, 236 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: we got a game plan we're gonna go execute. If 237 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: he's here, great, If he's not, no problem, which tells 238 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: me that that's sort of the I don't say scripted, 239 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: but that's the that's what they're saying. Hey, look, guys, 240 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: you cannot sit here and wonder about what's going on 241 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: with two point. You need to be focused and ready 242 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: to play. And that's the professional way of of applying. 243 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: That's what you expect answer to be. You can't worry 244 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: about it. However, I think everyone knows when he's playing 245 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: at his best, he is, if not the best corner 246 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: in the league, one of two or three guys that 247 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: you point to and say he's going to take away 248 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: your best receiver. And he can do it every single week. 249 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: You you have a shot here to stay in the 250 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: a f C South race, to keep pace. I don't 251 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: I don't think the Texans are that much better than 252 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: this team if Jalen's on it. I don't think the 253 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: Colts are better than this team with Jalen on it. 254 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: I think you can win the division if you've got him. 255 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: Now here's the question, And Jalen didn't talk yesterday. I 256 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: don't imagine we're gonna hear much from him, even if 257 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: the microphones are in his face. He is probably not 258 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: going to be entirely forthcoming because he won't see where 259 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: it benefits him. But it looked yesterday, and this is 260 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: just my interpretation, um, it looked like he was maybe 261 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: pouting a little unhappy that we're not getting what he wanted. 262 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: We saw him on the practice field after the Titans 263 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: game here he was almost in a celebratory moved because 264 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: they want and because you know, he's giving guys hugs 265 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: and hey, you know, it's great to play here. I 266 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: think he thought he was on his way out, he 267 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: was going to get what he wanted. Well, he's not. Right. 268 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: By the way, life is tough. You don't always get 269 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: what you want. Do you get what you want from Joe? 270 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: Do you get what you want every time? All? Right? 271 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: Joe does right? Right? I can't get that apartment I 272 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: want exactly right. Hey, look that's that's it, right, twenty 273 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: eight million dollars in a contract. You want that, you 274 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta come to play Jalen, And if he does, 275 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: this football team has a chance to make some noise, 276 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: not just in the South, but they can make some 277 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: noise in the postseason two. But they need him on 278 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: the field. This kid quarterback is something to behold. He 279 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: is going to give you a chance. Jalen's never play 280 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: with a quarterback like this ever, I would think that 281 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: he would want to be on the field. He's got 282 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: to put aside his own desire, and that's what teamwork 283 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: is all about. He's got to put aside his own 284 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: desire because, as he said, he's going to get paid. Yes, 285 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey is not going to go broke. He will 286 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: be fairly compensated at some point here. I don't know 287 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: when that happens, but at some point he will be. 288 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: He just has to decide that he wants to play 289 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. And if he does, this football team is 290 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: better and the defense gives them a chance to help 291 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: that gid quarterback and that good quarterback isn't a chance 292 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: to win. And if anything, if I'm Jalen Ramsey this week, 293 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: I want to play on Sunday because if you're listening 294 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: to anything around the country about this game, everyone's talking 295 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: about Marshawn Lattimore being the best corner in football right now. 296 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: The Saints think that the national perspective is that because 297 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: the conversation the past two weeks have been he shut 298 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: down the best corner or the best wide receivers, Jalen 299 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: has become indifferent almost because he hasn't been playing well. 300 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: You can't claim to be the best cornerback in football 301 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: if you're not on the field. You just can't. And 302 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: Lattimore is out there doing it week in and week out. 303 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: Ramsey said something in his press conference after Houston. He said, 304 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: how come no one's talking about the job that I 305 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: did on Sunday. How can we forget I have been right. 306 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's I thought, and I said it then 307 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: and I'll say it again. I thought it was the 308 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: single best defensive performance by an individual player, right in 309 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: franchise history. I got and I've seen them all. So 310 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: I can go back to Tony Brackens in some big games, 311 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: and Mike Pete when he was a middle backer here 312 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: and some big games, especially when he used to play 313 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: against the Colts. I remember them all. That one stands 314 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: above all of those. He's that good of a player. 315 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: He makes you better. He's got to be a better teammate. 316 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: That's the key. He's got to want to help his 317 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: teammates with his performance on the field and understand that 318 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: it isn't at all times about me. Yes, right. That 319 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: was striking after the big Titans one Thursday night football 320 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: here when the nine and a half sacks and we 321 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: were asking about man the defensive line played great. He's like, yeah, 322 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: but I too, and you did, right. It's it's about us, 323 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: it's about group, it's about team, it's whatever you wanna 324 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: call it. If he plays his brand of football and 325 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: is a part of this team, they will make noise 326 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: in the a f C. South. It will be a 327 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: very fun And I'm not saying that they're mutually exclusive 328 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: that if he doesn't play, they don't have a chance, 329 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: because a J boy is a very good football player, right, 330 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: But when a J boy has Trey Herndon on the 331 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: other side, who clearly is not ready to be prime 332 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: time yet, maybe he is in the slot but outside 333 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: against the Michael Thomas, no way, Um gotta worry about 334 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: him as well. Yeah, exactly, it's a different dynamic. Uh, 335 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: maybe the kid can carey him. There are teams with 336 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: great offense and average defense. Kansas City is one of them. 337 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: They score so many points that it isn't an issue. However, 338 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that you can say that with a 339 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback at this point if you want to have 340 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: the chance to get the most out of a year 341 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: that we all thought was lost on play thirteen here 342 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: on opening day, Um, they need him to play, all right, 343 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: And let's take a break and come back and go 344 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: around the locker room from yestra a lot to talk 345 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: about before this Saints game here on Jackstrip time.

Yeah, you don't see a mustache 384 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: on this gal. That's not a good sign. Let's go 385 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: around the locker room from yesterday. The Jaguars defense has 386 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: yet to get a turnover, and we go back to 387 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen when they were plus ten in turnover margin. 388 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: Right now they're minus four. I talked to Ronnie Hereson. 389 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: He said, when it comes, it'll come in bunches. Just 390 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: keep me hungry. Um, you know, the opposite there. Last 391 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: week we had two forced bumbos. We didn't get a 392 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: chance to get on them. Um, the opposite there. You know, 393 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: we just gotta keep playing, keep playing fast, getting to 394 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: the ball, and they'll come. You hope they come. He 395 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: does have the one takeaway. He had it in Denver, right, 396 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: and that really changed the game. That's a great example 397 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: because remember it was seventeen three and the Broncos were 398 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: driving and you're thinking, oh, you hold him to a 399 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: field goal here, because if you go down twenty four 400 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: to three and a half, this game is probably over. 401 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: And he came up with a big pick and took 402 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: it back and set up a field goal to make 403 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: its seventeen six, and that gave them momentum for the 404 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: ten and a half minute drive that started the third 405 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: quarter for Denver. So, yeah, they've got to get a 406 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: couple of those, especially against teddy Bridge Water and a 407 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: Saints offense that really looked unstoppable at times. Last week, 408 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: he had four touchdowns for more than three hundred yards. 409 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: Uh camera that was held in check. He only had 410 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: about seventy rushing yards, but he had about sixty receiving 411 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: yards too, so he was a hundred and thirty yards 412 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: total as part of their package. He's a good player. 413 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: He reminds me a lot of a guy who played 414 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: at Miami and then for the Colts, um Edger and James, 415 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: who was so shifty that just when you thought you 416 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: had him, he didn't have the footwork of Christian McCaffrey 417 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: where he chopped his feet and moved. He kind of 418 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: leaned one way and you missed, and he kept going. 419 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he was as efficient runner as I've ever seen, 420 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: and Camaro reminds me of him, although he can put 421 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: the shoulder down and drive you backwards also, so he 422 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: is a tremendous back. And I think this defense sells 423 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: out this week to stop him. Yeah. I mean we've 424 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: been hearing the term gap defense I don't even know 425 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: how many times this week, and everyone has been saying 426 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: it's a pretty easy fits. Well, you hope so, because 427 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: that guy's coming coming fast well and just I mean, 428 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: Jeff does a good job of this. But if I'm 429 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: here right here and I'm head up my microphone, is 430 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: the guy in front of me, I can have this 431 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: gap in this gap. Well, that frees the linebackers to 432 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: move between different gaps. But if I've got this gap 433 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: and the linebacker has this gap and I'm committing over here, 434 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: he'd better be over here, right because if I'm going 435 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: this way and he doesn't go this way, then McCaffrey 436 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: is going that way. As we all saw yes multiple times, 437 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: multiple So we talked about the explosive Saints offense and 438 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: talk to Josh Allen yesterday. He said that the Jags 439 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: defense is in for a big week. You gotta bring 440 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: a game, and one of the best teams in the 441 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: NFL right now one lost team, you know, so we 442 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: gotta we definitely gotta bring our a game every play 443 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: and uh, jump on them early and stay on them. 444 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: That's been the biggest thing this past week is the 445 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: message that you've got to start earlier. And Myles Jack 446 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: said at Sunday postgame, lonk room is they're starting too slow, 447 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: They're getting behind. They gotta play catch up. The entire game. 448 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: You gotta start fast like you did against the Titans, well, 449 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Gardner talked about that yesterday 450 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: in his news conference. It's something that they've they've been 451 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: talking about, that they've been practicing. But it means that 452 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: you've got to play nearly flawless football right out of 453 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: the gate, or you have to have a great script. 454 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, Sean Payton's coming in here with a great script. 455 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: That's what they do. So it's on John D. Philippo 456 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: and his offensive staff to have the plan in place 457 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: to attack this defense so that the players then go 458 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: out and executed. Everyone talks about starting fast, no one, 459 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: no one, No one wants to come from It's all 460 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: about execution. It isn't about starting fast. Do what they're 461 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: coaching you to do, follow the game plan, and then 462 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: figure a way to go get it done. He said, 463 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: a game it's got to be a plus against these guys. 464 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: Ted Ginn has explosive speed on one side. Michael Thomas 465 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: can really run. Plus if he's seen how big he is, 466 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: you know he he is a long, tall, strong receiver. 467 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: He is a different version of Julio Jones. He's very 468 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: difficult to guard. I'll see. All right, that press conference 469 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: that we talked about, how over twenty views. This is 470 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: why from governerment too, you're all disappointed that you're not 471 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: kind of going head to head with Drew Brees. Oh no, 472 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad he's not playing right. Yeah. Nah, but I 473 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: may hope to meet him. That'd be cool. But um, yeah, 474 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: And he's a great player. And and Teddy Teddy bers 475 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: D has been playing great as well, So not much 476 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: slack there. So you gonna come out and be ready. 477 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't know many guys that are as honest as that. No. Well, 478 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: and look, he had a front row seat. I mean 479 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: he grew up in Brandon, Mississippi. They got the Saints games. 480 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: They're about three hours from New Orleans, so he had 481 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: a chance to see He didn't say this. I don't 482 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: know whether they're gonna ask him or not. But if 483 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: if i'm Gardner Minshew six ft tall, Drew Brees is 484 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: my he's my mentor, he's my idol. He's the guy 485 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: that I want to model my game after a because 486 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Fame passer with a career passing 487 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: yards total. Yeah, I'd like that, but more than that 488 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: is that you don't have to be this prototypical guy 489 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: that stands at six ft four and two it in 490 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: thirty pounds and can stand poised in the pocket. He 491 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: can do all of those things except be six ft four, right, um, 492 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: And I hope he doesn't ever get to two or 493 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: three pounds, but hope he can. He can play that 494 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: style of football. And here's the interesting part. When Drew 495 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: Brees went down, a lot of people said, well, there's 496 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: a game you win. Well, I mean, I've admit it's 497 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: easier to beat these guys. They've never beaten Drew Brees. 498 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: We said same thing about Cam Newton. It's easier to 499 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: win when you don't have the starting quarterback, but it's 500 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: no guarantee. Yeah, this league is up and the powerhouse 501 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks lately absolutely league wide and not just this team, 502 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: but this is one without Drew Brees. It's at home, 503 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: it'll be hot. You expect this team to go out 504 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: and play well because they have to understand the situation. 505 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: Two and three Colts and Texans go get them. We 506 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: talked about this team being mentally tough. This is a 507 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: game you have to win if you want to have 508 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: a winning season. Yes, yes, And this is the kind 509 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: of game that if if everybody's all in you know 510 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: what I'm saying there, If everyone is on the same 511 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: page against Thursday night football, absolutely not one person took 512 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: a playoff. If that's the if you do that, then 513 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: you there's just this special feeling and it's probably Gardner, 514 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: but there's this special feeling about what's possible with this group. 515 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely all right.

Welcome back to 542 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time Thursday morning, brought to you by Fields 543 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: Auto Group. As we welcome in John Dave Saser, Senior 544 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: writer for STS dot com. John, how's it going. I'm 545 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: going great? How about you guys? Great? Good? Thank you 546 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: for waking up early with us. We're always up early 547 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: behind what we do around East. Then we're already in 548 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: the to and we're going at it us too. Hey, 549 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: um Teddy Bridgewater surprise and folks around the league, when 550 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: he elected to stay in New Orleans, give us the 551 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: background on that. What did he tell you was the 552 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: primary reason he wanted to stay? And I guess it's 553 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: probably just a self evident answer, and that is is 554 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: that he's really glad he did now it Well, it 555 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: was a better situation for him now I think, Um, well, one, 556 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: I think he got low balled in terms of you know, 557 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: in terms of contracts, nobody wanted to pay him probably 558 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: what he wanted to be paid. And and because now 559 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: you know he's the he's the highest state backup in 560 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: the league. And also when you looked at the situations, 561 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't an awful situation that he was going to 562 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: come back to. If he, for instance, had he gone 563 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: to Miami, well we see what that's developed into. He 564 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: would have been into a rebuilding situation. The guys who's 565 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: getting back on the field doesn't have a lot of 566 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: weapons around him if he's in Miami, and that kind 567 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: of thing where he is coming back here. You gotta 568 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: sit down again, you know, you get to say down, 569 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: learn a little bit more behind Drew Brees. You know, 570 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: make sure you're completely and totally healthy. And if you 571 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to go out there, you get to 572 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: go out there with some weapons that are much much 573 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: more advanced than you would have had in Miami. And oh, 574 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, who's to say that Drew 575 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: Brees is going to play forever? Now? It's if like 576 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna place forever. But you know, this would be 577 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: a great situation for Jenny bridge Water if it worked 578 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: out to where he was the heir apparent to Breeze. 579 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: So I think everything from that standpoint kind of worked 580 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: in his favorite. They probably weren't as many quarterback openings 581 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: around the league as the first appeared to be. If 582 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: if Nick Foles ends up in Jacksonsville, which he does, 583 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: that closes one off. And so one of the one, 584 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: one of the only ones that was available, I think, 585 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: was Miami. And you know, if you look at it 586 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: just from the outside looking in, that looked like a 587 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: terrible situation. So I think everything worked out well for Katy. 588 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: You know, we we know a former Drew Breese backup. 589 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: A guy named Mark Brunelle whose name is on the 590 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: wall here in Jacksonville. And he talks so much and 591 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: so l quently about what it's like to be in 592 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: the meeting room with Drew Brees and what it's like 593 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: to be an offensive player with Sean Payton. Can you 594 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: shed a little life, a little light on on why 595 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: an offensive player would feel so secure with Sean Payton, 596 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: would feel so good about being there because they have 597 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: I just mastered how to figure out how to use 598 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: the guy's talents. Whatever a guy's strengths are, they know 599 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: how to incorporate that into what you're doing, whether that 600 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: be Drew Brees. Now we see it with Teddy Bridgewater. 601 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: We've seen it in small increments with Taysom Hill at quarterback, 602 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: and we'll see how they're working in the talents of 603 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: Alman Kamara, Michael Thomas Um and over the years, if 604 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: it had been you know, Robert Mitchum or Defred Henderson. 605 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: They know how to find out what a guy does 606 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: well and then maximize what it is that God does 607 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: well within the offense. They've been uncanny about that, and 608 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing to think. You know, Drew Brees 609 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: is the all time leaguing passer in terms of yards 610 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL history. Michael Thomas was his first Pro 611 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: Bowl receiver. That tells you what they've been able to 612 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: do with this offense. Until Aldern Kamaer and Michael and 613 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,239 Speaker 1: Mark Ingram made the Pro Bowl a couple of years ago, 614 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: they didn't have, you know, Pro Bowl running backs. Um, 615 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 1: they've been able to just kick and I don't want 616 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: to say just quote unquote guys, but Peter Thomas was 617 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie UH and he turned out to be 618 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: one of the best running back of the franchise history. 619 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: They've been able to take players like that find roles 620 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: for them. Marcus Colston was the UH seventh round pick 621 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: at receiver and he's the all time leaguing receiver in 622 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: franchise history. They made them able to get guys like that, 623 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: find what their talents are and maximize them in this offense. 624 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: And that's been really the key to it. Year after 625 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: year after years, they've been able to find guys, find 626 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: what they do, and incorporate them. It's been really uncanny, 627 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: uncanny the way they've been able to do it. John 628 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of this offense, how has Drew Brees helped out 629 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater all of this? Well, I mean, what better 630 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: sounding more can you have? I mean, this offense has 631 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: been Drew Breeses since two thousand and six. He knows 632 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: it inside and out. So if Tenny brid Bridgewater needs 633 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: a guy to pounce some ideas off of, he's got 634 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: Drew Breese. Drew Brees gave him the confident that what 635 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: he's given him, the advice that Drew has always gone by, 636 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: And Drew Breeses always said, you know what, there's nothing 637 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: wrong with taking a profit. Um, it doesn't matter if 638 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: it's a dump off pass this third nineteam, you know 639 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: how many third nine team players are you gonna have? 640 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: Take the eight yards plant live to fight again. But 641 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: completions are a good thing. And that's one of the 642 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: things that he's told Teddy. You know, hey, completions are 643 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: a good thing. There's nothing wrong with checking down if 644 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: there's nothing downfield. And I think Teddy has taken that 645 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: the heart. You know, when you're when you're watching Drew. 646 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: In terms of his preparation, he's Keith a niacal when 647 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: it comes to his preparation. He is a guy who 648 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: there is no stone left unturned when Drew Brees is 649 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: talking about working. So you know he's taught that to 650 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: to Taysom Hill and to Teddy Bridgewater and those guys 651 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: have learned how to just kind of study film the 652 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: way through season. You know, Drew again, he's been in 653 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: this offense for so long. He knows where everyone is 654 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be and he can impart that with them 655 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: onto whether it be Teddy bridge Water or Taysom Hill 656 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: or the receivers. He can tell those receivers, look, this 657 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: is the death I want you to run it, and 658 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: this is why we want you to run it right here. 659 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: This is you know, how shallow we want you to go, 660 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: And this is why we want you to go this shallow. 661 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: He's able to tell that to each and every part 662 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: of this offense. Trying to feel like getting on a 663 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: soapbox this morning, of course, all right, and I don't 664 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that this is a hard, hard case 665 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: for you to make, but make the case for our 666 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: listeners as to why Marshawn Lattimore is the best cornerback 667 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: in football. Because on they given Sunday and most Sunday 668 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: are given Sundays for him. He can shut a guy 669 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: an um, he can. He can play his own in man. 670 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: He he excels in vote. But when he's got to 671 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: play man and he's locked up on a guy, We've 672 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: seen him back to back weeks with a Marii Cooper 673 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: and Mike Evans, he has rocked that guy up and 674 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: thrown away that he has taken their lunch money. He 675 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: has taking their lunch box. He is eating their lunch 676 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: in front of them, and they've been been helpless to stop. 677 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: He is that kind of guy. Now he will have 678 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: some inconsistency. He has to make consistency. Really last year, 679 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: the second year, and I think he admits he came 680 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: into the season probably a little bit mentally unprepared because 681 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: of that great rookie season, and I think he's read 682 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: the clipping. Then you know, he got a little you know, 683 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: he got a little testy on himself. UM So he 684 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 1: felt like, hey, if they're not going after me every play, 685 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't have to treat every play like a lockdown play. 686 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: And of course Mike Evans came and took his lunch 687 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: money last year, so he saw the results of that 688 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: didn't like it a whole lot. And now he's locked in. 689 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: He's playing the last I would say, the last three 690 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: four weeks as well as he has played in the NFL. 691 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 1: And he was the NFL Rookie defensive Rookie Defensive Player 692 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: of the Year a couple of years ago. But he's 693 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 1: a much better player than that right now. I even 694 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: though the numbers don't say it in terms of interceptions 695 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: and takeaways, what he's done is he's given the Saints 696 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: the guy that you can say, okay, go sick of them, 697 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,919 Speaker 1: stop him and he's able to do that. And when 698 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: you have that kind of guy on the defense, that's 699 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: a special, special guy. I don't know. He convinced me well, 700 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, look it's there. There are a few guys 701 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: in the league, um and Marshawn is right at the 702 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: top of the list. We think Jalen Ramsey here when 703 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: he's playing, is the same way, uh, that you can 704 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: make that case for and they are worth They're worth 705 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: their weight in gold. Yeah, And I mean those guys 706 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: are special. I mean when you can when you can 707 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: take away a key person on the opposition, that's that's 708 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: so valuable because now you can be as exotic on 709 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: defensive as you want to, or you can just say, 710 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, we can be as basic as we want to. 711 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: We've got a good front four. We can just let 712 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: them go do it, and we can sit back in 713 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: the secondary and just overrate everybody. And we know this 714 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: guy has that one guy and taking him away. As 715 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: you mentioned Jalen Ramsey Man that that dude is deep 716 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: dude around the league. He is something special and and 717 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: you hate to see the situation that that's going on 718 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: there because you'd love to see him on the field 719 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: playing and displaying those wondrous talents that he has. And 720 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, really, I hope everything works out for him 721 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville or wherever. You just want to see guys 722 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: like that on the field because they're so special and 723 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: I think Marshawn can beat in that category. We shall see. 724 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Thanks John, you gotta welcome. Thank you for 725 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: your time, John.

Thursday's Our Core Nader Days. 756 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: John d Filippo Offensive, Todd Wash defensive corners speak today. 757 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: What do you think they're gonna talk about? I think 758 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: I can predict John's gonna have to talk about the 759 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: fast start of the offense. And I have a feeling 760 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: Todd Wash will be asked about the run defense and 761 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: how it hasn't been great. Now to Flips credit, they 762 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: did get off to a fast start last week. They 763 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: scored on their opening possession, but then they had a 764 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: couple of you know, bangs and bumps that kind of 765 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: kept them from hitting that rhythm and they came from behind. Right. 766 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: I like where this office is going, And I think 767 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: Flips the kind of guy's a perfect temperament to deal 768 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: with a young quarterback. I'm curious to see. Also, um 769 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 1: flips thoughts because he liked James O'Shaughnessy. You know how 770 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: much he loved the tight end in the system. How 771 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: are you going to overcome that injury? Uh? Is Josh 772 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: Oliver gonna play? I mean, and that's a lot to 773 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: expect that Oliver, who has been out since the first 774 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: of August after missing two and a half months, is 775 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: going to come and make an impact. But there's almost 776 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: no production from the tight end right now. They had 777 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 1: twelve catches for I think two yards and two touchdowns, 778 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: and the majority of that was James O'Shaughnessy. I think 779 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: Jeff schwayme has I don't know, eight nine catches for 780 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: sixty yards. I mean, there's just not a whole lot there. 781 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: And Ben Koyak doesn't make you appreciably better at the position. 782 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: Uh So, Yeah, I mean when John you're gonna play 783 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: more receiver sets, I would think, which impacts your running game. 784 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: They need to get some production from Oliver if they're 785 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: going to have production from the tight end position. Yeah, 786 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: and you can't really expect when to come out in 787 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: the light, can't you hope he does? But then We 788 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: didn't expect that Gardner Minshew was going to do anything 789 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: close to what he did, so proved us wrong. If Oliver, 790 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: if Oliver has just slight production, it will be an improvement, 791 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: all right. Like we said, Coordinator press conference is coming 792 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 1: up here later today on Jugs Twitter, Jugs Happy Hour, 793 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,760 Speaker 1: and Jags Radio later today.
