But we 11 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: are here in the presence on New Year's Eve, getting 12 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 1: ready for a game against the Indianapolis Colts coming up 13 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Welcome and Jaguars Drive Time on a Thursday morning. 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan here with Brian Sexton and John Oosier. John, 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: do you have any big party plans plan for New 16 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: Year's Eve? It's a little different year on New Year's 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: Eve this year. Yeah. I can't share them, uh, because 18 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: the law would get involved. So for the take of 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: this show, I'll say no, fair enough, okay, Brian, so 20 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: I guess you won't be seeing John at any clubs 21 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: this year, say the least, you wouldn't see me at 22 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: any clubs. Anyway. I've got a nice dinner plan with 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: friends though out here at the beach. There you go. Okay, 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: it's actually a party at the restaurant that we're going to, 25 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: you know, one of those all inclusive things. That's what 26 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: happens when you turn fifty. Um. But I am going 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: out and it will be legal, and we're going to 28 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: celebrate the beginning of hopefully a great new year. Legal 29 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: is key. Legal is a good thing to follow on 30 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. Well done, YouTube. Let's get into a 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: simply preview, um, just taking it easy, you know, following 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: the law like normal. You know the New Year's party 33 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: last year? Didn't you have a party in your place 34 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: last year? I did, that, is correct, I clean for 35 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: a good four days. I'll never do it again. And 36 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: remember you guys were all upset that I didn't invite 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: you to the party. But it was young kids. It 38 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: would have been weird, you know if you have the 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: old guys there. Okay, we'll make some changes for next 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: year when there's no COVID and then you guys can come. 41 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: We have an entire year to plan it out. All right, 42 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: let's get into a simply Iowa game preview. Point. Number 43 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: one we want to make as the Jaguars get ready 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: to take on the Colts is create turnovers. The jaguars 45 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: biggest helper has been the turnover battle. It has kept 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: them in games they are not supposed to be in, 47 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: and that does not stop this week. The Colts are 48 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: a better team. They have a better record, a ten 49 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: win team, They're healthier, they have more experience. So overall, 50 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: the Jaguars shouldn't win escape, but if they want to 51 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: stay competitive, they need to create turnovers on Sunday in Indianapolis. 52 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: Number two, find a way to use the run to 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: set up play action Daria Gunbal. It will start this 54 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: week again for the injured James Robinson, building off seventy 55 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: one yards last week, and best case is to use 56 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: that run to set up the play action with Mike 57 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Glennon at starting quarterback once again this week. Number three 58 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: win at the line of scrimmage offense and defense. When 59 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: you share that battle at the line of scrimmage, Colts 60 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: left tackle will have season ending surgery. We found that 61 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: out yesterday, but they will get their right tackle back 62 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: and overall, Brian, the Colts offensive line is a very 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: impressive unit. The Jaguars defensive line, as we know, has 64 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: been through all kinds of changes, whether it be injury 65 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: or not playing well or opting out for COVID. So up, 66 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: this is the biggest matchup we're going to have our 67 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: eyes on. Well, they have the best offensive line and 68 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: football and Quentin Nelson and they have and Kelly had 69 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: center another first round pick, and they're down there left 70 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: tackling and that's never a good thing. But you know, 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: even with a backup on that unit, it still ranks 72 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: among the top three or four offensive lines in football. 73 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean we've talked about the quarterback 74 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: things so much this year. The reality of it is, 75 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks we haven't focused on 76 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: a defensive line that has a who's who, not a 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: who's who? Right, Like when you had Mollie Jackson and 78 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: Marcel Darius and Calais camn Butter, Who's who's who? Right? 79 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: Daniel Aquale last year, last week Daniel ross Um, I mean, 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: Doug Kaston who and that just this is a game 81 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: of players and matchups, and they just don't. They don't. 82 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: They don't favor the Jaguars right now, and certainly not 83 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: against the line as good as the the Indianapolis Colts. 84 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: Now that's not to say that guys can't go out 85 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: there and make plays. They can, but it's gonna take 86 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: a herculean effort cleaning the Gean stables, so to speak, 87 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: for this defensive line to find a way to get 88 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: things done this week. Yes, doesn't sound like a matchup 89 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: in favor of the Jaguars defensive line. And we talked 90 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: about setting up the run and the play action and 91 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: big thing too. And James Robinson unfortunately will not be 92 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: playing this week. And John it's kind of a bummer 93 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: after the year he's had. You wanted to see him 94 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: finish it off strong. You understand why he's not playing. 95 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: In Daria Gumba Wally did well in his place, but 96 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: kind of a bummer that he didn't finish off in 97 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: an incredible year by playing in the last two games. Yeah, 98 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: it's a bummer for him, absolutely. Um. I think the 99 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: thing that takes the edge off the bumber is that 100 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: he can tell himself and I hope he does in 101 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: this couple of weeks. I've made it in the NFL, 102 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: meaning he's got a place. He's gonna play in this 103 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: league a long time. That was obviously his overarching goal, 104 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: uh this year was to establish himself as a big 105 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: time running back, which he's gonna be. Uh. You know, 106 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: he won't get the rookie undrafted free agent record of 107 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: eleven d five yards. That'll be forgotten. I think this 108 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: kid's got yards seasons in his future. When the Jaguars 109 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: get better, I think he's got Pro Bowls in his future. 110 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: So that's the long term of this big thing. But 111 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: I think the short term is I don't know that 112 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: his absence absolutely hurts the running game that much. It 113 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: does a little, but they ran well last week. This 114 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: running game this year, James Robinson has gotten all the credit. 115 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: The running game has been just as much about the 116 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: offensive line, which is run blocked extremely well. If they 117 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: had run blocked this well, I'm gonna go back to 118 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen when they led the league in 119 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: rushing at the end of the season, they couldn't run 120 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: blocked very well. This team is a very good run 121 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: blocking team that's gotten lost a little bit because it's 122 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: a one in fourteen team. I think they'll run the 123 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: ball fine against the Colts. I just don't think the 124 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: other matchups on defense, meaning the Jaguars defense, favors them 125 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: at all. That's a really good point, Ashland. I have 126 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: to jump in here because people who were holding to 127 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: this idea that the Jaguars offensive line either was a 128 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: weak spot on the team or or held them back 129 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: this year, they're holding onto an old narrative this offensive line, 130 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: especially in the run game. As John pointed out, you 131 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have had James Robinson had the kind of success 132 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: that he had this year, especially as one dimensional as 133 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: this team turned out to be, unless the offensive line 134 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: was giving him legitimate holes. Um this group, and it's 135 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: likely to be different next year. Cam Robinson's a free agent, 136 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: h Andrew Norwell has a big salary, Brandon Lender's going 137 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: into the final year of his deal. You don't know 138 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: how it comes back. But this offensive line, as was 139 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: predicted by Jake Gruden before the season began, was a 140 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: strong point for this team this year. The sacks were 141 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: largely on quarterback Gardner Minshew, who held the ball far 142 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: too long in the pocket. Other than that, they played 143 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: very well this year and just look at last week 144 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: and how clean Mike Klennon was with Khalil Mack racing 145 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,559 Speaker 1: to get in every play. No, it is very true. 146 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: And go back to the NFL combine last year, we 147 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: were talking about what are they going to do with 148 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line, and the coaches said, we like our 149 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: offensive line. We like it the way it is, and 150 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of a surprise to all of us. But 151 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: now we're seeing that that is definitely true, and that 152 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: is your simply Iowa game Previow. We're gonna talk much 153 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: more about this game on Sunday against the Colts.

It just didn't turn out the way 189 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: we wanted it. Um. I think they're extremely hard working group, 190 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: and uh, I think we've got a good coaching staff. 191 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: But it just it just didn't turn out the way 192 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: we wanted it this year. And uh, it's been frustrated. 193 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: Are frustrating, but at least, you know, hopefully we can 194 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: go out on good note this week versus Indie.

We're back Jack's Drivetime Thursday morning, brought to 202 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: you by the Fields Auto Group, as we dive deep 203 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: into this Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, a Division 204 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: match up, and of course that means we have to 205 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: bring in Colts reporter and produce a Lara Overton is 206 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: with us now. Lara, good morning, and thanks for waking 207 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: up with us. Hey, good morning. It's great to get 208 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: to talk to you twice now this week because you 209 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: were able to come on and hop on our podcast 210 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: with us, so enjoy in spite of not being able, 211 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, to see you in person, because of all 212 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: the the chaos and the odd circumstances of we won't 213 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: be you know, together at all this season, it's great 214 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: to get to catch up with you this way. Yes, visually, 215 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: of course virtually. Of course we're making it work all 216 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: right to layers. So this game, when you're looking at 217 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: it on paper, the Jaguars are in a fourteen game 218 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: losing streak. The Colts have to win this game, along 219 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: with some help from some other teams, to make it 220 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,119 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, So it doesn't seem like the Jaguars 221 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: really have a chance in this game, but we talked 222 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: about it in the podcast. You mentioned earlier this week 223 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: that you really can't rule anything out with this matchup. 224 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: We've seen crazier things happen than the Jaguars upsetting the 225 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: Colts this week. We certainly have, and these battles with 226 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: Jacksonville have not been favorable of late to the Indianapolis Colts. 227 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: You look at how the Colts ended the twenty nineteen 228 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: season and began the season. I mean, the Jags have 229 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: won the last two games over the Indianapolis Colts, and 230 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: you do take into consideration as well, the Colts will 231 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: now be without left tackle Anthony Gastonzo. He's done the 232 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: season with an ankle injury. They did just sign a tackle, 233 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: Jared veld Here, who spent time in twenty nineteen with 234 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: the array of different teams, but most notably with the 235 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, So they are getting some help, some 236 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: reinforcement there on their offensive line that they did not 237 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: have against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They will get Brandon Smith back, 238 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: your right tackle, so offensively, you do have those two 239 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: things to take into consideration for Indianapolis a ton to 240 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: play for it. Not only do the Colts need a 241 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: win of their own, but they're also gonna need a 242 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: loss from someone else, whether that's Baltimore, Cleveland, Miami, or 243 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: to get a win for Houston over Tennessee within the division. So, um, 244 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: there are some things in terms of those one o'clock 245 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: slate of games. That one o'clock slate of games, and 246 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: you'll be watching, of course fans will. And then you 247 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: have the four o'clock matchup between the Colts and Jags. 248 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: They're also the four o'clock matchup between the Titans and Texans. 249 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: So coach Wright has said that of course they'll be 250 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: aware of what happens in those one o'clock games. They're 251 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: kind of leaving it up to the guys as to 252 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: whether they check their phones, whether they're gonna be looking 253 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: at that. Some guys have said, I don't want to 254 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: know the results of those games. So Lucas Oil Stadium 255 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: will not be posting the scores of any of those 256 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: a f C games within the bowl within the stadium 257 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. Coach Reich said, maybe it's not a 258 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: distraction to all guys, but if it's a distraction to 259 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: one that's one too many. It's better for us to 260 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: not have them up there. It's irrelevant. It can do 261 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: nothing to add to our focus to what we have 262 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: to focus on. It only has a potential to be 263 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: a negative effect. Of course, you have veteran guys seventeen, 264 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: you're veteran guys like Philip Rivers who say, it's already 265 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: part of my pregame routine when we're playing a four 266 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: o'clock game, I always check in on Sunday ticket watched 267 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: on my phone to see what's going on across the 268 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: rest of the league. That's just part of his routine. 269 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: But for those guys who maybe don't have the situation 270 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: that they've been in before, a situation like this, whereas 271 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: Philip has been in this situation before a you know, 272 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: a win and in and need help elsewhere. So it 273 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: will will help this team to maybe, you know, keep 274 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: those blinders onto some degree, stay focused and not have 275 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: the distraction of those being flashed up across the stadium 276 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. All right, Laura, so you've told us 277 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: everything we need to know about the game on Sunday, 278 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you in a different direction. Are you ready. 279 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: It's um, it's new year's I'm a sentimental guy. Philip 280 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: Rivers is one of my all time favorite quarterbacks, and 281 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: I have lots of stories from the times he would 282 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: come here with the Chargers about his impact in the community, 283 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: things he would quietly do to help improve the lives 284 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: of people around him, right and and and I'm saying 285 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: this because this could be his last game. He acknowledged that, um, 286 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: give me, give me a Philip Rivers story, give me 287 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: something about him. Uh that you folks in Indianapolis have 288 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: enjoyed this year scene this year. He's one of the 289 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: great all time quarterbacks. He's probably not winning a championship, 290 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: maybe with you this year, but could go out without 291 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: a championship. Hall of Fame guy gets lost in that line, 292 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: Manning Burger grew at two thousand four draft class, give 293 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: me something about Philip Rivers and what could be his 294 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: final season? Man, Well, you know, hopefully we we have 295 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: Philip returning and I can get you on the podcast 296 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: at some point to get get some of those stories, 297 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: to hear some of those many stories. But one of 298 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: the things that I have to say that kind of 299 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: stood out to me is right when Philip h signed 300 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: and committed to coming to Indianapolis this spring. We did 301 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: a FaceTime interview and he talked about that Hoosiers is 302 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: actually one of his favorite movies and that he had 303 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: always felt a draw to the movie Hoosiers and how 304 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: much he appreciated that, and that was uh something that 305 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: when they played here when he was with the Chargers 306 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: and they played in Indianapolis, or actually it may have 307 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: been when he was here for Super Bowl festivities, not 308 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: when they were participating in the Super Bowl, but here 309 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: for some other things when Indianapolis hosted it, that he 310 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,119 Speaker 1: actually made a trip out to the gym where Hoosiers 311 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: was filmed because he had such a connection to the 312 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: aura and the tradition and the history and everything. So 313 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: that was part of one of those trips that he 314 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: made to Indianapolis was a commitment to getting out there 315 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: and getting to see that and kind of pay homage 316 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: to that because something that was really really special to him. 317 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: And another thing is um I heard this, uh just 318 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: kind of third hand over the summertime, once Philip and 319 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: his family and all of his kids were getting settled 320 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. The neighborhood that they live in of course 321 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: has like a community pool there and so you had 322 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: the kids were out swimming. Philip had his kids there, 323 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: and you know, a couple other little clusters of families, 324 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: all of course socially distanced and whatnot there at this school. 325 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: And Philip is over in the deep end, and you 326 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: have kids that are lining up on the diving board 327 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: to go off the dining board, and Philip is has 328 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: like a NERF football and he's tossed and passes, and 329 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: the kids are all diving off the diving board saying 330 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: if they can snag him out of the air. And 331 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, what a scene. These kids have no idea. 332 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: Probably not, I mean his kids know, but most of 333 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: the other kids here, they've only been in Indianapolis for 334 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: a short period of time, but they really immersed themselves 335 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: in the communities. And he's having the time of his life. 336 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, future Hall of Fame quarterback is, you know, 337 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: spending his his afternoon tossing NERF footballs to ten eleven 338 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: twelve year old kids going off the diving board in 339 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: their neighborhood. And I just thought it was such a 340 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: genuine moment where this is a guy who came in 341 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: with the zero arrogance. You know, none of that there was, 342 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: There was none of that to deal with. He was 343 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: somebody who just genuinely was so excited for the opportunity 344 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: to play football, to have kind of a fresh start 345 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: in Indy, to be reunited with Frank Reich and Nick Sirianni, 346 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: and you know, the two things he loves, He loves 347 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: me and her dadd He loves playing football, and he 348 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: was just having the time of his life, just making 349 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: sure that he could have some fun and and be 350 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: a kid along with all those other kids who were 351 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: swimming around in the pool on like a you know, 352 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: hot Midwest July afternoon, certainly nothing like Jacksonville. But that 353 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: was one of the things things that kind of stood 354 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: out to me that I thought, Okay, this guy knows what, 355 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: knows what Indiana is about, knows what being part of 356 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: this community is about. And you know, unfortunately, because of 357 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: the circumstances, we don't have as many of those like 358 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: in person interactions that I'm sure that you probably know 359 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: of from your many experiences with him, where you know 360 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: they're going out and doing the community things or visiting 361 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: the children's hospitals or whatever those might be. So you know, 362 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: hopeful that we do have more time with Philip to 363 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: get to know him even better and to create even 364 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: more of those opportunities. But those are two right off 365 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: the bat. I mean, if you were going to UM, 366 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: if you're talking about introducing yourself to a fan base 367 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: and you start off with talking about how much you 368 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: love Jimmy Chitwood and Hoosiers and the mystique of all 369 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: of that, UM, and then you follow it up by 370 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, being being that dad who's throwing the football 371 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: too kids. I mean, and I think it was a 372 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: long period of time. It's like all afternoon he was 373 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: out there. Those are two really cool things, completely off 374 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: the field things to me the I'm very fond of 375 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: and I really appreciate about Philip rovers Yeah, well, I look, 376 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: before I handed over to John, the story in Jacksonville 377 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: is is that he touched a charity that I am 378 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: very familiar with, to the tune of about seven thousand 379 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: dollars worth of groceries one day when they were in 380 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: here on a Saturday. So uh, you know, paid for 381 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: that entire charity to feed the homeless in the hungry 382 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: for an entire month. So I just have always admired 383 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: the kind of person he was and didn't want if 384 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: this is the end of his indie career or his 385 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: career at all, and he said it was earlier the 386 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: checker it was potentially the end. People to miss out 387 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: on one of the great quarterbacks. So John, I'll shut 388 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: up and now give it to you. Talk ball. No, 389 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: it's a it's an amazing thing, uh to me. Back 390 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: to the field, I can't get over, Lara, the fact 391 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: that they're ten and five and could win and go 392 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: eleven and five, which would win divisions most years, and 393 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: still not get in the playoffs. If that happens, what's 394 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: the mood. Has there been any talk about just how 395 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: unusual that is? There certainly has been talk of that, 396 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: and when coach Mick was asked about it this week, 397 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: he said, I have to just believe that we're going 398 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: to take care of our own business. We're gonna do 399 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: what we can do, and that's win eleven games, and 400 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: we have to just believe that that's enough and believe 401 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: that we hope we've done enough to be able to 402 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: get in. And you certainly look at the record and 403 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: you think, man, that's got to be a successful season. 404 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: But undoubtedly, if this team misses the playoffs. They're going 405 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: to be disappointed. I'm gonna say that you can you 406 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: can look at it two ways. This season can be 407 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: at eleven and five a success, um, and you missed 408 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but it's still a disappointment. I don't think 409 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: you see it as a failure, but it certainly is 410 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: a disappointing end to that season because you look at 411 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: pivotal games where the Indianapolis Colts did not get the 412 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: job done. I mean, in particular, let's just look at 413 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: last week, blowing that lead, a double digit lead that 414 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: you had to the Pittsburgh Steelers, all telling them to 415 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: come back, and you think, ma'am, you let that one 416 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: slip away. There were other opportunities that they had. Certainly 417 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: you think about the loss to Baltimore, the loss to Cleveland, 418 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: all of those things, um come to mind. You had 419 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: an opportunity at home against the Tennessee Titans where you 420 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: couldn't capitalize, and going all the way back to Week one, 421 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: you let the game in Jacksonville get away from you 422 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: right out of the gates. And so this Colts team, 423 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: you think about the many wins that they can boast. 424 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: In particular, you know, I think about the win over 425 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: the Packers, both those wins against Houston that came down 426 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: to stands by your defense, red zone, stands by your defense. 427 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: There's a lot to be proud of so far this season. 428 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: I don't want to get nostalgic yet because I'm so 429 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: hopeful and I feel promising that we will be playing 430 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: at least another week and extend this run in at 431 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: least another week or so. But they've they've all touched 432 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: on it briefly that they were very locked in, locked 433 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: in against you know, beating Jacksonville, and then whatever I'll 434 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: happens across the rest of believe will take care of itself. 435 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of us in general, 436 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: whether we we work for teams or whether we're fans, 437 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: you feel grateful that we're talking about we've gotten through 438 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: this season too, to completion, that we've been able to 439 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: get to seventeen weeks of this season and now we're 440 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: looking to the playoffs. So you think about all of 441 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: the different curve balls that have been dealt um to 442 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: every NFL team. In particular, you look at the Colts 443 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: and the different things, the adversities that they've based losing 444 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: Marlon Max losing Paris Campbell, you lost Michael Pittman for 445 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: a period of time, you had divorced Buckner, who missed 446 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: time due to you know, COVID related reasons, a couple 447 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: of other situations like that. I mean pivotal pieces of 448 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: this team that you were missing in crucial games and 449 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: crucial opportunities. To me, I think that you look at 450 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: eleven and five and you've got to feel really strong 451 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: about what you did this season. But by no means 452 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: are you satisfied sitting in eleven and five if you're 453 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: on the outside looking in of a playoffs scenario and 454 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: you're looking at teams you should have beaten who are 455 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: getting in there and playing meaningful games or continuing to 456 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: play games into January. Teams like Pittsburgh. You know, of course, 457 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: you're looking to Baltimore and Cleveland in all of that 458 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: as well. Very unique situation for the Colts to say 459 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: the least, and the Jaguar is looking to play spoiler, 460 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: yet very unique for this game.

We 502 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: understand if you don't win, especially if you a one 503 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: in fourteen or two and fourteen or one in fifteen, Uh, 504 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: odds aren't your favor that you're gonna stick around very long. 505 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: But staff have worked extremely hard. Coach Maron has done 506 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: a great job with you know what you've had to 507 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: work with um and everything UM. But the future is 508 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: up in the air, without a doubt for gonna work hard. 509 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: The last game and whatever happens happened. But I do 510 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: love the areas for sure, and I would love to 511 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: coach these young guys again. The final week of the season, 512 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: getting ready for this season finale on Sunday, that was 513 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Jay Gruden about his future coaching possibly here 514 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: in Jackson. Lots of questions around that, and will recap 515 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: all of that next week here on Jaguar's Drive Time. 516 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: But for now, there's a game on Sunday against the Colts, 517 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: which means it's time for he will he won't? He 518 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: might Brian This guy a popular guy lately. You know 519 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: we jack has had a tremendous year. The numbers from 520 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: a football perspective tell the story from an all pro 521 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: probably not because in all pro, you know voting. You're 522 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: looking for the big flash plays, the scoop and co scores, 523 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: this acts the interceptions. But I say he will this 524 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: week make a flash play. The Colts throw the ball, 525 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: they run the ball. Uh you know. I mean they 526 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: do everything well. But Philip Rivers, though I love him so, 527 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: takes a lot of chances and it has become interception prone, 528 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: probably an interception producer. Okay, So I think there's gonna 529 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: be a chance for for Jack to finish the season 530 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: with a flourish So I say we will see a 531 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: big play from him this week. Um. He won't get 532 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: the All Pro votes, the Pro Bowl stuff that he 533 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: deserves this year, but he might next year. Um. You 534 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: know what, And that's been the refrain with this guy 535 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: is next year, next year, next year. Um. But when 536 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: you have a fully functioning offense and a healthy football 537 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: team around you, a guy like Miles Jack is able 538 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: to do more of what he does. Um. This year, 539 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: I think he was doing a lot of everything and 540 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: making tackles that other guys missed. Um. But next year 541 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: might be the year that the rest of the league 542 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: finally sees the complete Miles Jack. Because I think this 543 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: year we saw the best version of him we've seen 544 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: since the team he had all that talent around him. Yep, 545 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: that's the guy that you think will only go up 546 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: next season with a few more pieces around him. Alright, John, 547 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: we're switching the offense with you. Yeah. I first of 548 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: all agree with Brian about Miles. I think he was 549 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: even better this year than he was in seventeen. He 550 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: just didn't have a couple of splash plays. So good 551 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: call by Brian there. Uh. I went with this with 552 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: the viscous chinult. Uh. He will enter the final game 553 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: of the season healthy. I think really the thing that 554 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: sort of held him back from having the rookie year 555 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: that people hope was he had. It just seemed like 556 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: for weeks and weeks and weeks he was out, sort 557 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: of nicked up, not quite where he could have been. 558 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: As Jay Gruden said yesterday, that's a thing that he's 559 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: got to work on. He came into the NFL with 560 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: that as as sort of something hanging around his neck. 561 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: He's got to get healthy and be there for sixteen games. 562 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: He don't quite get the numbers that he wanted out 563 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: of this season probably, uh, but going into this particular 564 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: game because he's not going into it banged up. I 565 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: think he has a chance to have a big game. 566 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: He might, you know, he might have a huge game, 567 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: and I think he will. He started to do it 568 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: last week with the thirty four yard h reception. Sometimes 569 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: with young guys at the end of seasons, you see 570 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: them put together a couple of huge plays at the 571 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: end and you get an idea they're figuring out. He 572 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: might be figuring it out at the right time to 573 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: have something to go into the off season to work with. 574 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that you're gonna look back 575 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: on this season and say he was he was almost 576 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a star in the 577 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: future though. Absolutely. I go back to the draft and 578 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: we all kind of chuckle when he compared himself to 579 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: Julio Jones and we said, this guy is going to 580 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: be fun to cover. So that's a potential for Labisco chionals. 581 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: I have what do I have, calebon Chase on how 582 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: could I forget? He will continue the trend of being 583 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: being the best month of football he has played. Gave 584 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: Bears left tackle fits all last week and the troubisky interception, 585 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: the one that Joe Schobert caught in the end zone. 586 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: Credit to calebon Chase on that was all on him 587 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: getting that pressure and causing Troubisky to make that mistake. 588 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: We talked about is he progressing the way that we 589 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: wanted the start of the season. No, he needed some time, 590 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: but you're seeing him come into the best month of 591 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: football he's playing and he will continue that trend on Sunday. 592 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: He won't go down as most impactful year that we 593 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: thought he was going to have at the draft. Like 594 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: I just said, there was a lot of things that 595 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: we thought he was going to accomplish, and that's a 596 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: lot to put on a rookie defensive end. And I 597 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: think we're finally seeing him come into his groove and 598 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: we almost forget that. There was no preseason this year 599 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: for him, So he's got finally getting the snaps that 600 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: he wants this year. So won't go down as the 601 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: most impactful year for him, but definitely progressing. He might 602 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: he might beat that this week. He might beat that progression. 603 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: He had tied a career high in pressures last week 604 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: with five. I think he beats that this week. The 605 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: past four games, in terms of pressures he's produced, they've 606 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: been leading He's had four pressures the past four weeks, 607 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: five last week, so I think he beat this week 608 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: and overall. We talked about Caleb and Chas on coming 609 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: into his own on December that as he will, he won't, 610 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: he might when we come back, pick one and pick 611 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: It's on Jags Drive Time.
