I mean based practice, 4 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: we just had I feel good with where the team's at. 5 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of times when stuff's going like 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: it is, uh, you know, you get a lot of fingerpointing, 7 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: a lot of oh, well, I'm doing my job. We 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: really don't have that. Everybody's on the same page, you know, 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: trying to find solutions. Um, it's really all we can 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: ask for. Um. You know, it couldn't be more happy 11 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: with the guys that we have, and um, you know, 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm excited to keep pushing and keep going to war 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: with them. I heard from multiple players yesterday that same message. 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: Eck Wing Gardner mints you having to be more productive, 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: execute better, and take better advantage of opportunities this weekend 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. Welcome in to Jaguars Drive of 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: Time Thursday. Warning. We're here with John Ousier and Brian 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: Sexton and John Ousier. I don't know about you, but 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: we heard from Doug Marone, Jay Gruden, Chris Connolly and 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Gardner Minschree yesterday. Uh, I sensed a sense of urgency 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: and definitely no nonsense getting to work this week. I 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: don't know about you. Yeah, I mean, and that's what 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: you would expect. They've lost four straight games. Uh, it's 24 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: time to either win or start you know, kind of 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: accepting that. You know, if you don't start winning at 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: some point, then all of a sudden, they can't even 27 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: talk playoffs, post season, any of that stuff. So you 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: would expect urgency. In terms of Gardner Minshire, everybody always 29 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: tries to read the quarterback and they try to figure 30 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: out what he's saying as press conference. Isn't he hasn't 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: been as giddy lately. Well, he's not going to be, 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: you know, Gardner Minshew commercial guy on a four game 33 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: losing straight. He's a serious guy. He wants to win 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: and he knows he knows now is the time to 35 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: be serious. I don't know they will or not, but 36 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: they certainly have a sense of urgency. Yes, big time grind. 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed the Larry Terry Gary 38 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: giggling type of quarterback. We haven't seen that in the 39 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: past few weeks. Eventually it all goes away and you 40 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: become more business like, and Gardner's reached the point in 41 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: his career where they're up against the wall and business 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: is the only thing that you can sell. So I 43 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: thought he did a good job yesterday of taking the 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: appropriate amount of blame if that's the word you want 45 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: to use for what's going on, and then trying to 46 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: keep his team together. I mean, he's acting. Let's fix it. 47 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: The guy has been a pro since he got here. Um, 48 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: he understands what it takes to play the game, whether 49 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: he's the big arm or not. Forget all that, all 50 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: the intangibles he's got, and UM, I liked what I 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: saw and heard from him yesterday big time. And with that, 52 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: let's get into big things because it absolutely involves Gardner 53 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: man shoo. Thing One is the ratio. This is nothing new. 54 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: We have talked about this the past few days, the 55 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: past to run ratio? Where is it going to be 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: this week? What should this offense be doing? It's no secret. 57 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: And into the first week through for twenty times or 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: less in name one, the past four weeks he's thrown 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: for forty attempts or more and they have lost offensive 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: porting er J Gruden says they might be sticking with 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: the run a little bit more this week. Every week. 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: Um our design is to go in there and run 63 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: the football pound of football. Unfortunately, I've done a four 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: job of sticking with it. So is something that something 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: we have to obviously get better at and be uh 66 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: aware of the game, of the situation and all that. Obviously, 67 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: sometimes late in the third quarter, fourth quarter, if you 68 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: take out that part of the game in the last 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: two or three weeks, it's hard to run the ball. 70 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: But we do have to do a better job early 71 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: in games, try to maintain the run and and keep 72 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: for a lineman pounding a rock a little bit and 73 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: keeping the pressure off Gardner. Big thing too is Captain Connolly. 74 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: The veterans on this team, such as wide receiver Chris Connolly, 75 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: have a big task at hand. Yes, worry about their 76 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: own game, but it's on captain's like them to show 77 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: these young guys the way to fight through adversity. Chris 78 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: Connolly has been here before and it's setting a good example. Now. 79 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: I've been on teams that were one in five, that 80 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: one eleven straight games and went into the playoffs. You know, 81 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: like I've been there, I've seen that I've been on 82 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: teams where we might have been just as talented as 83 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: we are here, and we want a lot of games. 84 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: So when you tell someone that, it's tough to get 85 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: them to believe really believe that. But one of the 86 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: things that I've noticed about these young guys is they're 87 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: they're tough, man, They're tough, They're hanging in there, they're 88 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: working extremely hard, and so we don't have to coach 89 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: effort here. Uh, it's really just raising our level of 90 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: discipline and our execution. And so that's what um, that's 91 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: what we're doing. And um, you know, they're handling it. 92 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: They're handling it just about as well as they can. Uh, 93 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: you know, we just got to make sure that everybody's 94 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: in the right place. Big Thing three is Stafford. Matthew 95 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: Stafford is definitely an incredibly talented quarterback, but not the 96 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: elite quarterback we were talking about last week with the 97 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson. Nonetheless, this is a very dangerous guy when 98 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: he gets hot and when he gets productive. The Jaguars 99 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: defense is going to have to limit that production. On Sunday. 100 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: Let's go back up too. Big Thing one, Brian, you 101 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: have honed in on this and I sent you the 102 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Twitter message yesterday when Jay Grun mentioned the past to 103 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: run ratio, I was like, Wow, Jay Gruden, he's watching 104 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: Jaguars drive time, but is definitely probably something of importance 105 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: and the offensive meetings. This is basic stuff, you know. 106 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: I mean when I look at Gardner Minshew, now I 107 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: see Blake Bortles, right. I mean they're different. One was 108 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: a third overall pick and one was a sixth round pick. 109 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: But I see a guy who is going to have 110 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: success when he's got control of the tempo of the game. 111 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: They need to be able to run. This is still 112 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: despite the fact that they've drafted receivers and brought in 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: Jay Gruden, who's a passing game guru. This is still 114 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: an offense that is predicated on the ability to run 115 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the football first and foremost. When they run the football, 116 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: it plays right to Gardner's strength, just like it did 117 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: with play Bortles when they ran in seen with Leonard 118 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: for Nett, this team has to be able to run 119 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: the ball in order to set up play action when 120 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: it does. We've seen how good he is. We've seen 121 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: how he holds the ball, slides in the pocket, makes 122 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: a move to the outside. He's terrific with play action, 123 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: but he has to have has to have the running game, 124 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: which is why the ratio is so important. I don't 125 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: think it could be any less. In fact, I think 126 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: it should run to pass. It's me seven years of 127 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: doing this, it's the way I see this sort of 128 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: formula working for him. But they've got to get that 129 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: ratio right, John, Yeah, I can't even remotely for seeing 130 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: the NFL these days a team actually getting But I 131 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: know your point. You've got to strive to get much better. 132 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: It was last week or some of all those lives. 133 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: That's not gonna cut it for this team. Uh. You 134 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: know last week it felt like in the first half 135 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: of that game, they had to have seen something that 136 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: made them think, we have got to be able to 137 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: throw against this defense because they are stopping the run. 138 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: You know it was it was just too there and 139 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: then to take advantage of it and if it felt 140 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: like it means you couldn't was what happened. So do 141 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: they have to go back and say, even if we 142 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: believe that this is a throw, is the defense need 143 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: to throw against? Do we need to just go ahead 144 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: and bat our heads against that wall and hope we 145 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: break it? Down. So I don't know that they will 146 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: go to that extreme, but we all know the closer 147 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: you can get to something something like that, get the 148 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: run up, I'd be stunned this week after all this 149 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: talk if it's not closer this week, at least in 150 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: the first half. Definitely agree, and it definitely plays to 151 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: the defense that you're playing. This is the third week 152 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: in a row that the Jaguars offense is facing the 153 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: worst ranked run defense in the league. But we say 154 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: that the past two weeks, Brian really haven't seen any 155 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: production because of that. Not enough, not enough, fair enough, 156 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: all right, so let's go. It's a big thing too, 157 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: which is Captain Connelly John wide receiver Chris Connelly definitely 158 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: fired up yesterday and it's on guys like him. And 159 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: we've spoken to Avery Jones the past two post games 160 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: and definitely we're getting the same vibe that they're holding 161 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: these guys accountable. But they have now a bigger sense 162 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: of urgency that they have a bigger job to do 163 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: with caps well, if the leadership on this team is strong. 164 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: I've been asked several times this week, do you think 165 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: they'll quit? Do you think they'll get down? At one 166 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: and four, I don't sense this is a finger pointing team. 167 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't sense locker room issues along these lines. The 168 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: issue is are they good enough? Is there enough frontline 169 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: talent all over the defense two create and make plays 170 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: in the situations that they're always talking about. There's not 171 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: gonna be finger pointing. They're pulling together there the same direction. 172 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: It's a young team. Aside from Conley and a couple 173 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: of others, these guys haven't been around long enough to go, 174 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: oh it's somebody else's fault. They're still trying to make 175 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: their way in the league. I don't see fingerpoint and 176 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: being an issue. I just wonder if there's enough frontline 177 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: talent to win enough games to make them I don't 178 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: know happy, if that's the right word. You know, Like 179 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: when you talk about Doug a Roan and Dave Caldwell, 180 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: they both stood up and gave this team thumbs up 181 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: before the season began, and they both expressed how much 182 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: they liked the team and how much they wanted people 183 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: to give it a chance. And John, I think it's 184 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: for the reason that you pointed out there's good veteran leadership, 185 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: but there's high character young players on here. So they 186 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: felt like if there was enough talent that he wrote 187 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: that he elevated right that arose, they might be able 188 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: to be competitive in Winston ballgames. Ye couldn't agree more 189 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: high character guys that are going through some adversity right now, 190 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: but seem to be handling it in the right wing. 191 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: When we come back, we dive into Sunday game against 192 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions.

Tory, thanks so much for 227 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: waking up early with the with us on Thursday morning. 228 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: You're coming off an early bye week in the season, 229 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: and I know that the Lions had a pretty tough 230 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: schedule to start the or. So take me through how 231 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: you would summarize this first quarter of the season. First 232 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: of all, Ashton, thank you so much for having me. 233 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: I love being on here with you. Love the Gator 234 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: helmet in your background. It's great to be chatting with 235 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: the fellow Florida Gator here on Jacksonville Radio. I appreciate 236 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: you have me. So let's talk about what the Lions 237 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: have done in these first four weeks of their season. 238 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: They had the bye in Week five. It was a 239 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: tough way to open the year. We saw them do 240 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: this last year where they would get leads in a game, 241 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: uh and then they would lose it there in the 242 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and that happened in several of their games 243 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: so far this season. They got off to a hot 244 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: start against the Chicago Bears in Week one and then 245 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: fell behind ended up losing that game to the Bears, 246 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: a game they definitely should have won. Week two, they 247 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: really had a tough time at the halftime swing with 248 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packer and the Green Bay Hackers won 249 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: that game by a long shot. Week three, they were 250 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: able to be the Arizona Cardinals and get their first 251 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: win in eleven months. But then in Week four they 252 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: fell to the New Orleans Saints after getting out to 253 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: a four teen to zero lead in first five minutes 254 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: of the game. So this team has not gotten off 255 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: to the start that they want to, but they really 256 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: are hoping to turn things around now after the bye. 257 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: You guys want John to jump in here. He's a 258 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: gamer alum. He can do the whole chomp thing with you. 259 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll go, Hey, Tory, how are you. I'm good. 260 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: It's so good to chat with you, guys. Nice to 261 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: see you. Hey. You were probably a freshman in Gamesville 262 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: when the Lions drafted Matt Stafford. He was a you know, 263 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: the top pick, clearly the best player in the two 264 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: thousand nine draft. If you go back and look through 265 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: the entire draft, the only player that you can say 266 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: might be his equal would be Lashawn McCoy. Maybe that, 267 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: but he has never lived up to the bill ing 268 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: in Detroit as being the number one overall pick for yards. 269 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: He's got some good numbers, but he's never gotten to 270 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: that level where you think of him with the elite quarterbacks, 271 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: even though he was drafted like it. So what is 272 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: the perception among Lions fans of Stafford and what do 273 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: you think his long term future is there? He's still 274 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: a young man with a lot of football left in 275 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: front of him. Yeah. I mean, well, when you talk 276 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: about what Stafford has done over the course of his career, 277 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: you have to remember that wins are not always the 278 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that that Sometimes it has not been Stafford's play 279 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: that hasn't gotten them over the hump, but sometimes the 280 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: team around him hasn't been good enough. Stafford has carried 281 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: this team on his back for many points of his career, 282 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: and last season he was playing at and, uh, you know, 283 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: an all pro level before he got injured with that 284 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: back injury halfway through the season and then missed the 285 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: second half of the year. We really thought he was 286 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: going to come out with that same power that he 287 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: did in Darryl Pebble's offense to begin the season last 288 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: year this season, but he hasn't quite been back to 289 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: his normal self this season. He's had a little bit 290 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: of a tough time in these first couple of games. 291 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: Daryl Bevil, the offensive coordinator, pointed out, maybe it's his 292 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: footwork that he needs to work on just a little 293 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: bit this year. But Beth Matthew Stafford is an incredibly 294 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: talented quarterback and he has been the backbone of this 295 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Lions team for many, many years. Um, I really believe 296 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: the reason why he hasn't gotten over the hump isn't 297 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: because of him, but sometimes because you know, it takes 298 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: more than just a quarterback to win football games, and 299 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: this season it seems like he's maybe made some of 300 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: those four decisions because he's been trying to do a 301 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: little bit too much. His defense hasn't really been backing 302 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: him up in the way that they need to be, 303 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: so it feels like he's trying to throw a touchdown 304 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: on every play just because he feels like he has 305 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: to do so much. Uh. You know, it's not something 306 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: that he has come out and said, that's just something 307 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: from from my observations of watching him, So I'm not 308 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: really sure what has been going on with his game 309 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: so far this season, but it hasn't been quite on point. 310 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: But he did talk this week about how the Jacksonville 311 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: Jaguars are the one NFL team that he hasn't thrown 312 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: and touchdown against even though he is too and oh 313 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: against them, so he's looking to change that this weekend. Okay, story, 314 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: I'll go next. I'll give you a little is that? Okay? 315 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: All right? I was asked and the first one short 316 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: photostassing both t J. Hockenson. A lot of Jaguars fans 317 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: are familiar with him because that was who they this 318 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: team might have picked, could they not gone Josh Allen? 319 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: And then the sense of urgency for this game for 320 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: the Lions there one in three and I assume they 321 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: feel like they need this game to get healthy and 322 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: get it right. Oh yeah, absolutely, I definitely agree that 323 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: they're looking at this game as Okay, we it's time 324 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: for us to turn things around. First quarter season, didn't 325 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: know how we wanted to, but now we have an 326 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to start to turn things around. Uh. Here in 327 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: Week six, you mentioned t J. Hockenson. He is a 328 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: huge part of this offense, and he's been one of 329 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 1: their bright spots through the season so far. You know, 330 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: we talked about them not getting up to the start 331 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: that they want, but t J. Hockenson has played solid 332 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: in every game that they've played so far this season. 333 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: He got off to a hot start in his rookie 334 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: year with a big game against Arizona Cardinals. Uh, you know, 335 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: in in his rookie season in Week one. Kind of 336 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: tapered off a little bit after that, but we've seen 337 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: him be a favorite target of Matthew Stafford's here in 338 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: this season. So far, he has been, you know, a 339 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: solid option for him, a solid option and fantasy as 340 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: well ahead the tight end position. So I would expect 341 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: that to continue this week. Alright to where we got 342 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: one more for you, Let's go to the defensive defense 343 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: against the run as of right now, allowing on Alange 344 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: a hundred seventy yards per game. It has this Devins 345 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: talked about stopping Jaguars running back James Robinson. He's definitely 346 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: been a positive here for us down here in Jacksonville. Yeah, 347 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: James Robinson has been a huge topic of conversation in 348 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: Detroit this week. They have talked about how they have 349 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: got to stop that guy. It's been so impressive what 350 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: he has been doing as an undrafted rookie free agent, 351 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: and the lines coaches have all talked about how they 352 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: need to be able to stop the run better than 353 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: they have. It's the one thing that they really did 354 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: well in that game against Arizona, there one win so 355 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: far this season, they were able to stop Kyler Murray 356 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: on the ground and force him to throw and they 357 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: got three picks in that game. So I would expect 358 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: that they're kind of trying to do something similar this week. 359 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: They really want to stop the ground game so that 360 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: they are able to make the Jaguars one dimensional. That 361 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: would be their goal this week. But they have struggled 362 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: against the run so far this season. And like I said, 363 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: the one game that they won that was something that 364 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: they did well, but in all the other games that 365 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: they've lost, they have really struggled to stop the run. Now, 366 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: they haven't quite said what adjustments they feel like they 367 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: need to make to be able to do that, but 368 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: they certainly need to have made some and they are 369 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 1: hoping that this bye week has given them time to 370 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: reassess their defense and look at what they have been 371 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: doing wrong against the run. Already, big game on Sunday, 372 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: Jaguars versus Lions here in Jacksonville, Tory, Petrie.

We start top 412 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: tweets with some breaking news. As of last night, A 413 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: trade going down between the Titans and the Jaguar is 414 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: something you don't see too often trading within the division. 415 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: The Titans have traded Kamale Korea to the Jags, a 416 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: linebacker very productive for the Titans last season five sacks, 417 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: two in the postseason has not as has not as 418 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: had as much productivity so far this year. Has only 419 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: gotten thirty nine snaps so far this year. So, Brian, 420 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: why do you think this happened? I know he was 421 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: unhappy in Tennessee, but you don't don't see this often 422 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: happened often in the division. Um, it makes me wonder 423 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: if Josh Allen is going to be down for a 424 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: little bit longer than they may be anticipated. Um, you know, 425 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: he when your list is questionable and then you don't 426 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: even travel on Saturday, and I know that things are 427 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: a little different in the COVID era. Um, that's you know, 428 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: my first indication all right, something's up. And then when 429 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: they trade for a linebacker who had two tackles and 430 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: give up draft capital and don't here that it's a 431 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: six round pick. A six round pick is Daniel Thomas, right, 432 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: who had seven tackles last Sunday, So there's value there. Um. 433 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that they're going to come on and 434 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: say it, but I would watch Josh Allen and his 435 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: production and his participation closely. The next couple of days 436 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: leading up to the game. Wouldn't surprise me at all 437 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: if we don't see him this week or next and 438 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: maybe they get him passed by. That's just experience saying 439 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: watch out for this. I don't know what to be true. 440 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: It depends how quickly they can get him ready. But John, 441 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: what do you think of this trade going down? Well? 442 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: I certainly watched for that, um, and I don't doubt 443 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: that it could be a short term couple of weeks 444 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: to It also feels a little bit like they may 445 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: be trade. You know, they knew he was gonna come available, 446 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: they knew they liked him, and they've had a little 447 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: here with the Josh, with the Josh Jones who was 448 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: available with the Sydney Jones, So it may be a 449 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: case where they really like this guy and I feel 450 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: like he could be a guy who fits in for 451 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: the future, and they're saying, Okay, would we have used 452 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: a sixth round pick on a player like this? Yeah, probably, 453 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and make this move. But I agree 454 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: with Brian keeping eye on Josh Allen as well. Yes, 455 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: we saw him at practice yesterday practicing with a knee brace, 456 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: but nonetheless out there at practice getting some reps in. 457 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: All right, we go to top tweet number two, and 458 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: it's all about our guy, Sydney Jones, the stat throwing 459 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: up from last Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, and 460 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: Brian I spoke to him last night on Instagram Live 461 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: and he had some pretty interesting things to say about 462 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: his time with the Eagles. Spent three seasons there and 463 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: tore his achilles his senior year of college. She was 464 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: always coming back from that. He said, like, as of 465 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: right now, he feels like he is finally getting the 466 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: production that he's wanted in the NFL, and really it 467 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: took a while for him to get over that achilles injury. 468 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: So I think we're kind of starting to see the 469 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: real progress of Sydney Jones so far in his NFL career. Now, 470 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: part of this game is getting lucky sometimes and and 471 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: having a player available to you with that kind of 472 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: potential when he's ready to play. As I said, I 473 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: watched him and the way that he played, not just 474 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: the tip balls, but just the way that he played 475 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: coverage against Houston and thought, well that he's better than 476 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: anything else you have right now. So plug him in, 477 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: let's go, and maybe you've got a long term stored 478 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: on the other side opposite you're very promising first round 479 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: Pixie j Anderson. Yep. And we're going to hear from 480 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Todd wash later on this morning. Johnna, I'm 481 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: curious to see how they use him going forward. It's 482 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: almost the point where he played so well. You want 483 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: to see more of them. Yeah, and I mean thank 484 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: you would remember, as I'm sure he told you, he 485 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: tore his achilles it his pro day. He was going 486 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: to be a first round draft pick out of Washington. 487 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: So this is a big time talent and it may 488 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: be a case where it's not. These serious injuries takes 489 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: two or three years to come back. He did not 490 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: look like a player Sunday who had been through a 491 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: major injury. He looked live, He looked you know, peppy, 492 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: as Slyn used to say a long time ago. So 493 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: he looked very very good. I would anticipate at some 494 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 1: point that you would see Henderson on one side, Jones 495 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: on the other, with Herndon possibly moving to the slot. 496 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: That feels like it might be their three best corners 497 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: right now.
