00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: will join us. Mike Dempsey will join us for Fantasy

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: He will he won't? He might? Featured game of the week.

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: We have so much degree to we might as well,

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: in a very calm way, get started with big things.

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Big things. That's been the same big thing all week,

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette's leg, the status of his legs. So

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: he spoke to the media yesterday, So it's going to

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: be a game time decision. But he feels like he

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: is on the right track, good news, optimistic. First of all,

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: I love the suit. Whose legs don't look better in

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: a suit like that? In a nice mad suit? No, John,

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that would be the case. Yeah, he said,

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: whose legs don't look better? And John saying you wouldn't

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: wear that. So we don't know at this point. They're

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: going to test today if if what Doug said holds true.

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, after media time, after practice, they're

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: going to work on the leg. Uh. He was in

35
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: full pads yesterday like the rest of the team. You know,

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: he's wearing the pants, and he came to the news

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: conference and spoke. So I want to look into that

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: a little bit and say, all right, well, they must

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: feel good about his opportunity. I don't know that he

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: would do either of those if there was no chance

41
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: for him to play. Uh about the best you can

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: hope for. And we'll know what eleven thirty on Sunday

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: when they have to declare their inactives. Might know a

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: little bit before that, you know. I mean, I think

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: if they if he's not going to play, you would

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: think that a move for Brandon Wilds would be a possibility,

47
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: just because you know you've got two backs watch them,

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: so watch that a little bit. I don't know if

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: they would completely tip you off, but this is what

50
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: your is what the intrigue is all about. All I

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: can say is I keep going back to Doug Moron

52
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: on Wednesday was optimistic or was not pessimistic about the

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: chance I've been playing. Um, you know, thing we've learned

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: about Doug and in a couple of years he's not

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: going to come out there lying. So uh, yeah, there's

56
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: a chance. You know. The other thing and Fred Taylor

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: talked about it this week too, is hey might feel great,

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: might feel great today tomorrow, have the treatment, get out

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: their play and have it grip again. So I think

60
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: it's important to note that with a hamstring, you know,

61
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: he could get into the game, have four or five

62
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: carries and then all of a sudden be done for

63
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: the day again, and that's really where you have to

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: be prudent. That's where to go. All right, hold on. Uh.

65
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Talking to Kevin Kaplan, one of the team doctors, he said,

66
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: the only true way to heal a hamstring is rest,

67
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: give it a rest. And it's tough to gauge how

68
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: much rest you need. So we'll find out where it's

69
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: at on Sunday. It may be nothing. They may get

70
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: over it. Passed it the lynd to bother him the

71
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: rest of the year. We all recall when Fred had

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the tweak of the hamstring and it cost him six games.

73
00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: So Acton wasn't born yet. But yeah, but you don't

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: recall now, I don't recall. You're right about that. I

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: was speaking to the folks out there, Jaguars fans recall, So, uh,

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: stay tuned on this story. I have a feeling, just

77
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: knowing history the way that I do, that it'll be

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a story that we followed for weeks to come. It

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: feels like, yeah, it feels like definitely in the story

80
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: this week. Absolutely, All right. Big thing number two is

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: the guys up front. We have concluded that the offensive

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: line needs to control the game, kind of like the

83
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: defensive line does Brian, you and I spoke about it yesterday.

84
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: This offensive line, We've been talking about the running game

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: for so long, all this week, it starts with them. Well,

86
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: there's so much confidence in t J. Yelden in his

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: building and for good reason. He ran very well. He

88
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: rebuilt his body in the off season, look great in

89
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: training camp. Uh. Last week had a couple of good runs,

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: but then in the second half didn't quite get it going.

91
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: And in watching the tape and talking to Jeff Loghaman

92
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: and even the guys in the locker room, the offensive

93
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: line has to play better, and the Brandon Linder, they

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: all talked about it. They have to be a factor

95
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday, a really strong force in this ball game.

96
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Them playing better equals t J. Yelden more carries more productivity.

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: I think they will. There's you know, this team over

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: the last what games, has typically played better offensively in

99
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: weeks where everybody's sort of in panic mode. Oh my goodness,

100
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: they couldn't do this. They couldn't do that. First of all,

101
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: they game plan differently depending on opponents week to week.

102
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I think they'll game plan a little differently they did

103
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: last week because they always do. And I think they'll

104
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: run better because I think they'll throw better to set

105
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: that up. I think they'll be more balanced, you know.

106
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: I I think last week a lot of it was

107
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: when this team has a lead and they know that

108
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: they can grind it out and when doing that, uh,

109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: other teams tend to play for that. So I think

110
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: they will have a game plan that makes sense against

111
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: New England. And I think it's be one of those

112
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: games where you're sitting there looking at the stat sheet

113
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: afterwards and thinking, Wow, I didn't expect so and so

114
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: to get yards, but they did. So that's my gut.

115
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't have any based that on except the history

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: of these guys over the last sixteen seventeen games. We'll

117
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: have head coach Doug Browne in a couple of minutes, Um,

118
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: one more thought on that and we really want that? Yeah,

119
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: I think we do. We want that, Doug and joined

120
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: us for that. Hey, UM, I have said, I said

121
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: during the draft, do they need to draft a big

122
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: back so that you know, when you have this situation

123
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: with Leonard you keep your personality intact, which is that

124
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: pound the ball. And they didn't draft it. They didn't

125
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: go sign one in free agency they didn't right, and

126
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: they've expressed great confidence in t J yelled and to

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: be able to keep their personality intact. Yesterday and talking

128
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: with Nate Hackett on the day of the coordinators talk,

129
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: he said the same thing. Playbooks open. They're not gonna

130
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: pare it down. I mean, there's certain things that Leonard

131
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: does better than t J and and the reverse is

132
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: also true. But the playbook is completely open. They don't

133
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: have to pull pages out if Leonard isn't able to go.

134
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: It's been more than just you and I talking about it, Brian.

135
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: It's been a philosophical decision that they made where a

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: lot of people ask the question and thought, hey, are

137
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: they going to sign a back? Are they going to

138
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: have a back in free agency? Are you going to

139
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: even pick up one after training camp started? But it's

140
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: been something that they have been steadfast on and they've

141
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: believed we couldn't get Chris Ivery on the field late

142
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: in the season last season because we had the rotation

143
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: of for Nett yelled in and Grant that we like. Um,

144
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: this has been what they have decided to do. And

145
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: now this is where you see if it pays off

146
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: them going this direction. All right, let's wrap up the

147
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: first segment with big Thing three and then we're bringing

148
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: the head coach. Big Thing three is final analysis. So

149
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: each week you write something for Jaguars dot Com. Senior

150
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: writer John Osier check, I have not, no. He told

151
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: me it's coming in the mail, though he told me

152
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: mine was direct deposit. I'm waiting. Yeah, you've been waiting

153
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: for you or I'm sure I never said it in

154
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: such thing. Very rarely promised other people money. That's true.

155
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Each the article each week is the Jaguars will win

156
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: if and the ozzing team will win if and I

157
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: said the Jaggers will win if the offensive line steps

158
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: up what we just said. The Patriots will win if

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: they win that turnover battle. We know how destructive they

160
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: can be when they win that turnover battle. John, Yeah,

161
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean I've been saying all week. Got turnovers to me.

162
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: Stop the Patriots from running. Get pressure on Brady, Assume

163
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: you're going in healthy with Clayis Campbell and you can

164
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: gott which they didn't do in the championship game. With

165
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: all the things we talked about the championship game, the

166
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: pressure up the middle, all that stuff, that's what should

167
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: win this game, and I think that will happen on Sunday.

168
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: There will be critical moments in the game, as they're

169
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: always are. Third and eighteen last year in the fourth

170
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: quarter and then the touchdown throw in the back of

171
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: the end zone to damn Danny amondola Um. In those moments,

172
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: you must be where you're supposed to be against Tom Brady.

173
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Remember Tom Brady had the lacerated thumb and he didn't

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: have Gronkowski in that ball game in the fourth quarter,

175
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: and he found a way to win. When he's looking

176
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: for a way to win, be there in his way, right,

177
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: That's how you win. If your safeties, if you're linebackers,

178
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: if everybody's on point, if they where they're supposed to be,

179
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: doing what they're supposed to be doing, you win. I

Speaker 1: our players are excited. I think, um, you know, to

211
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: play at home. I think it's something that you know,

212
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: we were able to earn and establish, you know, as

213
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: a season one along last year, and you know, it

214
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: definitely definitely helped us. Our players look forward to it,

215
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's the beginning of the year

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: and we've got to make sure that we go out

217
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: there and perform well. And we know our fans will

218
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: be a big part of it. And our fans, uh,

219
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, you know can can make place for us.

220
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: They really can. And you know, it's a great bunch

221
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: of people out there, and and our players are are

222
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: truly excited. Players talked about that a lot this week.

223
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: Having earned it, you think it means more to and

224
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they saw last year that it was

225
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: not fantastic early and then all of a sudden the

226
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: last three or four games it was unbelievable. I get

227
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: the sense they can't wait to get in front of

228
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: these Yeah, I agree with that, and I think, you know,

229
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: because you had it. You know, I tried to change

230
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: the mindset, you know, to make sure that everyone understood that.

231
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Hey listen, you know who wants to come out and

232
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: you know watch a team that that the perform well.

233
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: And you know, I can understand that from a fan standpoint,

234
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: and we wanted to make sure, you know that we

235
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: were able to earn you know, the right you know,

236
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: or earn their respect and earn you know, the point

237
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: of being able to have a home field advantage, because

238
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 1: I do believe you have to earn that, and you know,

239
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: our players brought into it and they worked their butts off,

240
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: and um, we appreciate the support that we had and

241
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: we're excited about UH Sunday and seeing that support because

242
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: that support, you know, can can can change games at times.

243
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: It's difficult to go on the road, you know, for

244
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: teams that like for us when we go on the

245
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: road and some stadiums and you know, our fans are

246
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: great and we feel that, you know, the way we

247
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: play the game on the field, the tough, the physical

248
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: you know, the things that we talk about and try

249
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: to do on Sunday is a good reflection of what

250
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: you know this city is. It's just resilient, it's tough,

251
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, a bunch of just hard working people.

252
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: From outside this building, the reputation of this game is rematch.

253
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: We want blood. The fan are all excited about a

254
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: f C Championship game rematch. From inside this building, all

255
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: the players are saying, this is week two against a

256
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: tough opponent. Is that how you see this as well?

257
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: I do from from our our our standpoint, because you know,

258
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: it's a second game and in the first quarter of

259
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: the way we present things to the players, Um, you know,

260
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: it's an a f C opponent. Obviously it's a good opponent.

261
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's the right mindset. Now outside

262
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna, you know, talk about that, but it's it's

263
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,359
Speaker 1: it is really a different team, a different year, different chemistry,

264
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of things that that that changed

265
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: from year to year. I think it's it's great from

266
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: the fans perspective, you know what I'm saying, to be

267
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: able to talk about that and do that. But you know,

268
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: for us, you know, we've got to go out and prepare.

269
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: We've got to be ready to go, and um, you know,

270
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: we're excited about it. It seems recalling the a f

271
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: C title game, but against Tom Brady, you've got to

272
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: be where you're supposed to be at all times. Right.

273
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: The margin of error against that quarterback is smaller than

274
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: against most other quarterbacks, isn't it. Well, I think because

275
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: obviously you know, they they really thrive on, you know,

276
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: when you make mistakes and they make you pay for it,

277
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: whether it be um maybe not being in the proper position,

278
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: or maybe it's you know, you you create a penalty

279
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: against yourselves and put you in a in a tougher position.

280
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: It leaves things more open for him and it becomes

281
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: more difficult to um, you know, attack them, which in

282
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: several way so you know they they've done a good job.

283
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: And a lot of times when you play him, it's

284
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: a team that really makes the least amount of mistakes

285
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: and um, the team that obviously you know, wins the

286
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: turnover battle and the team that's able to finish and execute,

287
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, at a high level. And I know you

288
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: might say that each week, but I think you're right.

289
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: I think against this team, you know, your margin of

290
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: error um decreases, as it does with any good football team. Well,

291
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean this has been a really good team for

292
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: a really long time. But it seems they don't blow

293
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: people out. It's a fourth quarter game with those guys.

294
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: If they have the ball in the second quarter, in

295
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, you know, they they're gonna probably you know,

296
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: they score. And I think that's something that's a credit,

297
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: uh to them. I think when you know, you look

298
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: at you know, two minute offenses over the last you know,

299
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: fifteen years old or Tommy Brady's career, you know, is

300
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: there really anyone that's that's performed you know, better than

301
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: he has? And you know that's you know, we have

302
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for that, and you know it's

303
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a great challenge for us. You were with

304
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: the Jets when Brady really got it going at the

305
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: start of his career start. Did you at that point

306
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: I have a chance to watch him enough on coaching

307
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: offensive line, but did you watch him enough to comment

308
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: on maybe how he's changed and grown since that early time? Well,

309
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: I just remember, uh, you know what I remember is

310
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: is back back then, you know, I think Blitzo was

311
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback, I think prior to him. And I just

312
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: remember obviously, you know, I worked with the D line

313
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: a coach every time, and I remember when when Drew

314
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: was there, our D line, our D line players, you know,

315
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: we had you know, uh, Abraham and Ellis and those guys,

316
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: they were they were always excited, you know, because they

317
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: knew Drew was a big arm guy and you know

318
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: it's going to take a deep drop and so you

319
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: could always tell, you know, those guys are practice harder

320
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: because they thought they can get you know, more sex

321
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: that game. And then then they transitioned to Tommy, and um,

322
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, then all of a sudden, the balls out

323
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: quick and it's going there and it's pinpoint accuracy and

324
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: things of that nature. And you can see it, um,

325
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, starting to develop. But I didn't have a

326
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: crystal ball where I would be able to say, hey, listen,

327
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: you know whatever, sixteen seventeen years or now, this is

328
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: where he'd be. But um, it doesn't surprise me because

329
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: of his uh you know, he's such a a great competitor,

330
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, and and and you know he's truly football

331
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: all the time, and um, you know, and it and

332
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: it shows and he has. Obviously he has talent. It's

333
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: funny you were asked this week about when the Patriots

334
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: coming to this building on Sunday, is there gonna be

335
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: an aura about them? Are you gonna know they're here?

336
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: And you said no, They're just a good football team.

337
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Why do you think that is that all media members

338
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: and fans think that when the Patriots come to town

339
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: there's this aura about them. Well, I think I think

340
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: one is when you win a lot of football games,

341
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: and you win as many Super Bowls that they have.

342
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, you know, when you're on

343
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: the outside, I think it's it's well deserved that people

344
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: on the outside, you know, perceive them that way. And

345
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think for us having practiced against them,

346
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, last year and haven't played him in the

347
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: ANFC Championship game and coming in again, you know, I

348
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: think that you know it as you know. I don't

349
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: want to say that you know, we know them, they

350
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: know us type thing, but I think you're familiar with

351
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: it um and and because of that, I think that

352
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: you're able to go out there and compete. And I

353
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: think as professional athletes, I think you have to do that.

354
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, each week whether whether it's a player that

355
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: has an or about them or a team that does. Um.

356
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things that when you

357
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: look at them and you're watching them all week, you

358
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: can see the good. You can see where maybe, hey, listen,

359
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: we have an advantage. Let's take advantage of this, and

360
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: then you get out there and you execute the plan.

361
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: You know, we talked earlier about a six game home

362
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: winning streak um and how the players have earned that.

363
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: They've earned these bigger games this year. You have the

364
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: CBS number one crew in here this week, the attention

365
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 1: of the nation for Week two. You've got a big

366
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: game against the Steelers later in the year on national TV.

367
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: Are you interested in how your team handles it? No?

368
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, I'm not focused on the things that

369
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: are going on on the outside as much and or

370
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: things that you know, basically you can't control, you know what,

371
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: what we try to control the things that we can

372
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: do while we're here. I mean, you know, here, we

373
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: are sitting on a Friday morning, and you know, my

374
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: mind is not until Sunday yet. My mind is Okay, listen,

375
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: this is what our goals are today. This is what

376
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: we have to get done. In practice, this is what

377
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to execute, you know, this is what

378
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do after we leave this building.

379
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: So you know my mind, you know, the way the

380
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: way I approach it, in the way I approach it

381
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: with the team is, you know, we we try to

382
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: focus on on what we're doing at at the exact

383
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: time and make sure that we we put the work

384
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: in and do everything we possibly can to be the

385
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: best at that time, whatever it is during the week,

386
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: so that we have an opportunity on Sunday to perform. Well,

387
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised because I think you told us at

388
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: the owners meetings about your super Bowl story about how

389
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: you didn't watch the super Bowl. But the New England

390
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: writers were stunned at that this week. Uh yeah, and

391
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: our viewers probably haven't seen that story. I didn't watch

392
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, never have watched the Super Bowl. I'm

393
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: in and that, yeah, I mean, well, you know, I mean,

394
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm kind of in and out. You know,

395
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like the World Series or

396
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: I'll sit down and and and really watch every single

397
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: pitch and every single bat and see how they're gonna

398
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: strategically go after everyone. You know, I'll do that. I

399
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: think for me, you know, because I'm I'm in this profession,

400
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: what happens to me is is it's a reminder of

401
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: of for me of how I failed and and I

402
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: and I really look at it that way, and and

403
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: and when that games on, I think to myself, you know,

404
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, I wish I could have done a better job,

405
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: But where could I have done a better job? And

406
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: you know, so there's a lot of mixed emotion for me.

407
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: It's not that I don't like it or I'm away

408
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: from it or or that it's just that, you know,

409
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of the way I'm I'm I'm wound,

410
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm you know, like like people say,

411
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, I've got some issues and you know, and

412
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, and and one of them is I don't

413
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't like to fail. And and

414
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, you're in this profession, you're coaching this league

415
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: to be in the super Bowl, and you know, I don't.

416
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: I can't enjoy a game where you know, I had

417
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: an opportunity to to to be in and I didn't

418
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: get there. So I think it's it's more of that

419
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: than it is anything else. And you know, you know, hey,

420
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: I will you know. And plus there's always you know,

421
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: like Bill O'Brien is one of my good friends obviously

422
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: with the Texans. He's the first one to call me.

423
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: You know. He's like, you know, you're so full of

424
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, He's like, you remember we went to coach

425
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: O Leary's party when we were coaching at Georgia Tech

426
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: and watch the San Francisco San Diego game. I'm like,

427
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: I don't. Okay, fine, go ahead, broadcasting three years ago.

428
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember yesterday. Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean

429
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: but um no, I mean I'm I'm I'm in and

430
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: out on I don't. I don't watch it like I

431
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: think fans watch it. I don't plan the day like

432
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: people do. And I think it's a great day. I

433
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: really do, um, you know, for the teams and the

434
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: fans that are in it. But again, like I'd rather

435
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: be on the sideline. Uh, you will be watching high

436
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: school football to night right, absolutely? And did you say

437
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: volleyball to volleyball of five? How do you manage all

438
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 1: of that? No? I think you know it's it's it's

439
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: good for me it's a chance to you know, you know,

440
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: see my children compete, and you know, I appreciate that.

441
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: My my wife heal and she does obviously a great job,

442
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: you know, taking the kids around as many parents do.

443
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: And I like, you know, I look at all these

444
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: parents and I'm like, holy cow, you know, they do

445
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: a lot, and you know, our time is so limited

446
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: and and um, you know, it's one of the things

447
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: I've never I didn't do a good job before, and

448
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: I try to concentrate that if I do have that time,

449
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, I do try to get there and be

450
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: able to support them and see them because you know

451

456
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: these teams, they you know, they go through a lot.

457
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: They they go through the wins and losses and the

458
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: disappointments and the triumph just like everyone else. So you know,

459
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: I understand that, you know from a family perspective that

460
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: it's it's it's probably a little bit more difficult on them,

461
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: like fans because they feel like, you know, they can't

462
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: really do anything to change it. And um, you know,

463
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: whereas we have that ability, you know, making the decisions.

464
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: So I think I have a good understanding of how

465
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: people feel when we don't perform well and and and

466
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: what it means to a lot of people. Well, you

467

Speaker 1: have tickets, good luck. Yeah, unless John, you have an

501
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: extra pair of here, I do not Ah, we were

502
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: counting on you. My four are spoken four. Ah, you're

503
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: a man of few words today. Are you okay? Ready

504
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: for the second half? You're born ready? All right? I

505
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: am ready for the second He's just focused A well,

506
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: let's h let's go to he will He won't. He might,

507
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: but we'll segment. We call age three three, John kick

508
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: it off three? Mind's Jalen Ramsey. Uh, he will be

509
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: a big factor in this game. Uh, he won't. And

510
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: why would be a big factor in this game? Well,

511
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: because you have to go away from him if you're

512
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots. We have to try to go away from

513
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The reason I skimmed over he will is

514
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: he won't do what everybody's expecting to do, which is

515
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: cover Grumkowski all over the field. That's what people want

516
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: to see. They want to see it because of Jalen's comments.

517
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: Um but I should have figured it out based on

518
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: last week. I mean, he wasn't on Beckham the whole game.

519
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: I right, But this is different. I mean he wasn't

520
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: on Beckham the whole game because they needed to play

521
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: zone some in that game because of what happened when

522
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: they tried to play man. There was a lot of

523
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: screening going on. They had ways to get Jalen off

524
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: of Odell Beckham Jr. So that's why they went zone

525
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: so much. Is it's hard to play man the entire

526
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: game with the other team knows you're playing man. He

527
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: might though, be on him in the key situations, and

528
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: I think that's where this matchup is going to become key.

529
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: I think he will be on him enough to be

530
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: a factor. I think he's gonna be a big matchup

531
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: and he might get a pick in that situation that

532
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: completely changes how the Patriots think. When the Patriots go

533
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: to Gronk, it's that Ason the Whole type field where

534
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: we know that we've got this thing that you cannot stop.

535
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: It's a key situation kinding. They throw it up to

536
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: him and assume he's going to make the play. If

537
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: Jalen is in a situation where he takes that Ason

538
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: the Hole away from them, I think they can get

539
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: very lost on offense without that right now because of

540
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: the state of their receivers. And you think he's going

541
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: to be critical to this game, even though it's not

542
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a one on one all the time matchup.

543
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman suspended the first four games, Danny Amondola, who

544
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars last year. Let's be honest in Miami, right,

545
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: So Chris Hogan has stepped up into a starting role,

546
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: and Philip Dorsett who made a big catch a thirty

547
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: one yard catching that ball game in the a f

548
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: C Championship game. But these are not receivers. It's not

549
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: all that different than some of the receiving combinations the

550
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: Jags had back in twelve thirteen, you know, before Alan

551
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Robinson and Alan Hearns arrived in North East League, you remember,

552
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: but you got Tom Brady throwing Braham, which changes the

553
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: dynamic significantly. He met Kerry Coleman will probably be on

554
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: the field this week, wouldn't you think Corey Coleman, Corey

555
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: Coleman any sign and it's twin carry. Yes, they'll figure

556
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: out a way to get some production out of guys

557
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: you haven't heard of, because that's what they do. But

558
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a thin, a tight game in

559
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: the second half where the Patriots are gonna have third nights.

560
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: Jars defense is good, They're gonna have key moments that

561
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: they have to go to. I anticipate the Jars putting

562
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: Jalen on him in the key moments, and uh, that's

563
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: where the one. It might be four or five plays.

564
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: But if it's a situation where they are trying to

565
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: go to Gronk when they feel like they have nothing

566
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: else and Jalen shuts that down all of a sudden,

567
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: it tips the scales heavily in favor of the Jaguars.

568
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: If Jalen pulls that off, which I think he will,

569
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: don't you think that they will make them feel like

570
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: they have nothing else more often than not. With the

571
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: state of the Jags defensive backs against the Patriots, should yeah,

572
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's why you may see more zone

573
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: than fans love, because it keeps it keeps things in

574
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: front of him. Uh. It prevents you from being able

575
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: to use those screenplays which you know Belichick has in

576
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: where they pick a guy off and all of a

577
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: sudden have a guy that you wouldn't think could run

578
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: free running free because he's basically been blocked off, which

579
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: is legal close to the line. So I think you

580
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: will see some zones so that Jaguars can use their

581
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: athleticism in the back seven. All right, Ashley, Mine is

582
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: Miles Jack none other the man of the week. He

583
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: will treat this like the biggest week of his life.

584
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 1: He said that this week, that this is the biggest

585
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: week of his life. I think he takes advantage of

586
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: the spotlight. The Miles Jack wasn't down coming off a

587
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: big game against the Giants. I think he keeps the

588
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: momentum going. He won't make this about him now. When

589
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: remember they talked about the Miles Jack wasn't down. They

590
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: tried to make it about him. He said, yeah, that

591
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: was cool, but this is about the team. This is

592
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: the team game eleven on eleven. This is a big

593
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: week for us, and he might have another game where

594
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: he is the key defensive player of the game. Well,

595
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: takeaway would be big. He has three consecutive games with

596
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: the takeaway, so that would be a big thing to

597
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: see from him. This steam would erupt. We talked, We

598
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: talked all off season about him erupting, him emerging as

599
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: a star performer. He certainly has. Yeah, that's that one

600
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: better too. He actually has four straight games where he's

601
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: caused a takeaway. If you remember very key play against

602
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo last year, Eric Colevin gets the pick, he zipped it.

603
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: Miles Jack gets the deflection. He has had an unbelievable

604
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: knack lately of having his hands on the ball in

605
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: incredibly big situations for this team. Should have had really

606
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: in the in the last four Jaguars games, a game

607
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: turning momentum play that they probably wouldn't have won the

608
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: game without because he wasn't there, all right, anything else

609
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: on Myles Jack got that. That's just that's gonna be

610
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: beat over the head. So, I mean, Sunday it is

611
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: going to be in every corner of the stadium in

612
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: so many clever and creative ways. I don't even know.

613
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: The broadcast crew will have a field They could fill

614
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of their pregame show just about that. And

615
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing about it, that it's gonna get played

616
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: in some circles like it's a looking back thing. But

617
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: if you've been around this town, it lost the feel

618
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: of bitterness very early on, and it's much more of

619
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: a rallying cry. I mean, and I'm only saying because

620
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: maybe some people are watching it that haven't followed the

621
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: Jags a whole lot. It's not a bitter woe is

622
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: us thing. It's it's had a fun feel of you know,

623
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: we should have been there, But it's a rallying cry

624
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: more than it is a you should have want I

625
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: mean should have one. Yeah, I mean it started there,

626
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: but it's a fun thing and it's come to embody

627
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: the spirit of resurgence to me more than it is

628
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: looking back. I think it just unites the fan base

629
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: more than anything. It's uh, it's the Jaguars version of

630
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: a terrible towel. This week, they'll be swinging it all

631
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, right, straight facts. Every time my

632
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: kid and I talked about it, we'll talk about it

633
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: at the end. You know, he really wasn't down. So yeah, anyway, Okay, Um,

634
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the offensive side of the ball

635
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: and go with Austin Seferian Jenkins, and I say he

636
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: will be the guy who's the difference maker for the offense.

637
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: He'll convert on third down. He's the guy who will

638
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: take over that Allen Robinson rule when a rob was

639
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: in in fifteen and sixteen, when he was playing well

640
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: and third and eight. He's got the big body, he's

641
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: got the long reach, he can go up and get it.

642
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: He will be a factor for Blake Bortles this week. Um,

643
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: he won't drop passes. In talking to him this week

644
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: into the locker room afterwards, it's way too important to him.

645
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: He understands why he was brought here, the situation that

646
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: they use him in, and you know, he went through

647
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: the effort to go to the quarterback meetings. He told

648
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: us to understand the offense better. Right, and he told

649
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: us in a production meeting that in seeing how Blake

650
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: sees the field and knowing how Nate Hackett is trying

651
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: to set things up, he's able to be more productive.

652
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: So he Uh, he won't drop passes this week. He'll

653
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: make plays. Uh, he might make the game winning touchdown catch.

654
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: He might be that guy in the key situation because

655
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: I just see, especially with the uncertainty around Leonard for

656
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: Net and the I don't want to say inability, but

657
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: the receivers were inconsistent last week. Austin Severian Jenkins has

658
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: proven that he can play at a high level, and uh,

659
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: he might play the high level on Sday. Here's what

660
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for from him, Ran and it's not necessarily

661
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: waiting for from him, uh, but waiting for from the offense.

662
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: You've seen even in preseason, Uh, how they've used him

663
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: a little bit a lot of misdirection. Let's play action

664
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: over here and get him one on one with a

665
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: linebacker on the other side of the field out It's

666
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: it's been a staple their offense so far as uh,

667
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: part of the run pass option of them trying to

668
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: get guys outside one on one on linebackers. You haven't

669
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: seen him a whole lot with that traditional tight end feel,

670
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: fifteen yards over the middle, making the big catch with

671
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: the safety behind him kind of play. Um. He can

672
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: do that. So you wonder if this isn't the week,

673
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: if if that isn't a wrinkle that they start to

674
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: show of Okay, we've done this and we know that

675
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: we can get him on the edge. Uh, are there

676
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: other wrinkles, other routes that they're gonna show. We'll see.

677
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: All right, we move on from he three, which is

678
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: what we now call it John three. Yeah, Yes, we

679
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: did to feature games. This is a game every week.

680
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: We'll pick one. Each of us will bring one in,

681
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: sell it as to why it's important, and then make

682
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: a prediction. So, John, why don't you go first? Well,

683
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: I probably botched this because I'm so far behind in

684
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy after Week one that embarrassing because you and I

685
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: chose the same game, and so then I had to switch.

686
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: So you chose a good one. Yeah, and I might

687
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: have gone with last night's game, except it's last night's game. Uh.

688
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: That thought going in the last night's game Cincinnati and

689
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: Baltimore was going to show a lot about the North

690
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: um Kancity Pittsburgh. To me, it's too early to say

691
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: that the winner of this game and loser is going

692
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: to be out and all that. But it's big for

693
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because Kansas City is hot. They came in, they

694
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: have an offense that makes you think they can go

695
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: toe to toe and win in a shootout. And Pittsburgh

696
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: oh and one, you don't want to go oh one

697
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: and one with a loss at home to a has

698
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: a chance to be in that mix with the wild card.

699
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Pittsburgh here, but I'm

700
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: not gonna love it. And uh because Pittsburgh smells a

701
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: little bit to me like a team that maybe teams

702
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: are figuring out how to score enough on them. Uh,

703
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: the Jaguars did it. I think we'll find out a

704
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: lot about their defense this week. Historically, Pittsburgh punches people

705
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: in the mouth in games like this where people are

706
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: doubting them a little bit. Well, they did last year

707
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: because they could beat by the jag Wars and they

708
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: went to Kansas City and punched them in the So

709
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: historically they if the Steelers are the Steelers, they win

710
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: this game, and I think I think they'll figure out

711
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: way to still be the Steelers. I think it also

712
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: is Pittsburgh. When you look back last week with the

713
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns game ending in that tie, we said, who

714
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: does it hurt worse? Does it hurt the Cleveland Browns

715
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: because they didn't win, or does it hurt the Steelers

716
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: because they lost the Cleveland Browns. I'll take Kansas City.

717
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: Um No, Levian Bell Roethlisburger's elbow, Yeah, he has not

718
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: practiced this week, So I'll go Kansas City in the upset.

719
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: That got something going right now with Mahomes and Tyreek Hill.

720
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: What's your game? My name is Minnesota Vikings and the

721
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Now, I think this is exciting because one,

722
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is questionable, and two because you looked at

723
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: that Green Bay Packers game last week and how sensational

724
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: that was. Any of the Minnesota Vikings, who were the

725
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: number one defense in the league last week, and we

726
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: saw how they operate. We went up there for training

727
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: camp and they're just a really fun team to watch.

728
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: With me, I'm taking Minnesota one because of Aaron Rodgers

729
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: into because of that defense. John Minnesota winsday game by

730
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and I say Minnesota as well. And I

731
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: before we get to Tracy Wilson, who joins us in

732
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: just a moment, I picked, uh, Houston and Tennessee. Obviously

733
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: a division game. You have an injured Marcus Mariota. You

734
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: have a Deshaun Watson coming back from the injury. Uh.

735
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: He was hit a lot last week the Tech. Since

736
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: our offensive line took the hit, they lost Chantrell Henderson.

737
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: Their offensive line truly is not better than it was

738
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: last year. That's a problem for them. So I'm gonna

739
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: go with the Titans in this one. In a must

740
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: win game. They don't want to fall to Owen two.

741
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: Neither team wants to fall to Owen two. But I

742
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: think the Titans at home, they get Mariota back, apparently

743
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: he's got more feeling in his hand. Now I'll go

744
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: with the Titans. What I'm sorry sho, go ahead, go ahead.

745
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: I agree with the Titans. I think with Houston all

746
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: the injuries they have now, Tennessee has some injuries as well,

747
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: but I think home field advantage is good for them.

748
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: This is a red flag game for Tennessee if they lose.

749
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: If they lose this one at home after losing to

750
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: Mammy team, that I'm not sure. He's great. It might

751
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: not be good. Um So I think the Texans are

752
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: gonna win it, uh because I I just think they're

753
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: further ahead right now, and I think they're they're in

754
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: trouble getting started under Rabel on Tennessee. All right, there

755
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: you go. Featured games for this week. We'll let you

756
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: know last week. Who wanted time now to welcome the

757
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: sideline reporter for CBS Sports number one team in the NFL,

758
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: Tracy Wolfson. Who, Tracy, you haven't done a game in Jacksonville?

759
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: Have you? You've done Jacksonville games, but you haven't done

760
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: a game here, have you. I have done some Jacksonville games.

761
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: I think I was here. We were here last year maybe,

762
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: uh oh the playoff game. You were here for the

763
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: playoff game last year? Yeah, we were definitely well welcome,

764
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: But you know from college. I've been in Jacksonville for

765
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah. Absolutely, It's just that the Jaguars

766
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: or have not been a staple with the number one

767
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: team with CBS for a while, so it kind of

768
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: feels new. No, And I don't think we're going to

769
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: see a scene, you know. I think we'll see a

770
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: scene on on Sunday that we've never seen before for

771
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: a regular season game in Jacksonville, and I can't wait.

772
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: You see the Patriots a lot, obviously because Tom Brady

773
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: and their incredible extended run of success. Um, just your

774
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on Brady's ability to win no matter who's around him, Tracy.

775
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean, last year he didn't have Gronkowski, he had

776
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: to last rated thumb the a f C Championship game

777
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: against one of the best defenses in football, and he

778
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: found a way to win. And this year a Mondola's gone,

779
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: Edelman's down. You know, they're running back by committee because

780
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: of some of the injuries back there, and yet the

781
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: guy still finds a way to win it. There's really

782
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: very few guys in the league like him. Yeah, I

783
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: don't think there's anyone in the league like him. It's

784
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: just maybe you could put Aaron Rodgers as we saw

785
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: last week. But I mean just the way he comes out,

786
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: the focus that he has, I mean, forty one years old.

787
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: I have to say when we sat with him in

788
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: our meetings, he's seen not only as focused as ever,

789
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: but really in tremendous shape also. So he comes out

790
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: here and he's just completely confident. He knows what he

791
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: needs to do. He's always he's always dealt with, you know,

792
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: changing parts on the offense and having to deal with

793
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: a suspension and an injury and guys coming in and

794
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: guy's going out. And that's just the way he's always

795
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: had to perform when it comes to the New England Patriots,

796
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 1: and he's been able to do it and it doesn't matter.

797
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: And then you know when it comes to these drives

798
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the half, and he always seems

799
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: to find a way to get into the end zone

800
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: and then coming from behind as we saw against Jacksonville

801
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: in the championship game. But it doesn't bother him. It's

802
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: that that focus that he has and the ability uh

803
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: to just just win at all costs, And I think

804
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: that's what's unbelievable. We want to talk about everything that's

805
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: happened in the offseason or everything that's happened behind closed doors,

806
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You know, his one goal, his one

807
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: main focus is performing on that football field to the

808
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: best of his abilities, and he does it so well. Tracy,

809
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: you said you mentioned that you're here in Jacksonville for

810
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo playoff game. What did you think of that

811
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: atmosphere and do you expect it to be bigger this Sunday.

812
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: I was so impressed by the atmosphere, and I do

813
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: expect it to be bigger. I've heard that they're taking

814
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: the torps off, which I think is tremendous. I know

815
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 1: they did that in the playoffs, but for a regular

816
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: season game, UM, I think you can feel the buzz.

817
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: You can feel the excitement. Uh. You hear the players

818
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: talking about this game. Um, every one knows, you know,

819
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: not even what's at stake, because the loss doesn't isn't

820
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: going to affect them, But it's just a what a

821
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: win does, what a win can do for this team,

822
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: for the franchise, for the fan base. UM. So you

823
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: can feel the buzz already. I haven't even stepped outside

824
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: my hotel and I can already feel it. With the Patriots,

825
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: and you said, they're so dominant of conversation we've had

826
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: all weeks. You know, they don't have a lot of superstars.

827
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: They have Brady and Gronkowski, but other than that, you

828
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: look at their roster and you don't really know a

829
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: lot of ends. But we've said that really doesn't matter

830
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: for them. You know, we went into last week's game

831
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: and we said the same thing. You know, what what

832
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: offense are we going to say? You assume right away

833
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: they're going to take away Gronk, Right, so if you

834
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: take away Gronk, which they weren't able to do, Um,

835
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: you know who who's available for them? And and then

836
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: we saw after the game, you know, they lose Jeremy

837
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: Hill to an a c L. He's done for this season.

838
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: There without Rex burkhead right now, who's in the concussion protocol.

839
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: I didn't even see that happen. I mean he played

840
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Um, but he's out right now.

841
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: Who knows. Tony Michelle, their rookie who they were so

842
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: excited about, um, you know, has also been dealing with

843
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: a knee injury, and and he has yet to practice

844
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: fully and so and that's just the running back position.

845
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: Last week we went in, uh, concerned about the wide

846
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: receiver position since since training camp. Again they had twenty

847
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 1: transactions at the wide receiver position and they had more

848
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: again this week. So they're still trying to find their way.

849
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: But you know Tom Brady, he knows, you know, where

850
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: to go with the football. Of course he looks to

851
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: to Gronk first, but he's got Hogan, he's got door

852
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: set and you know they kind of work backwards. What

853
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: do they need to do in this game? You know,

854
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: to beat Jacksonville offensively. Um, and that that's gonna be

855
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: a big key, especially against this defense. Tracy, you've sat

856
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: down with people from the Patriots over the years. You

857
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: have an idea about the organization. Uh, how have you

858
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: seen it change over the years or is it exactly

859
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: the same as it it's always been since you've been covering.

860
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: You know what, it's kind of exactly the same. I

861
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: mean they're very protective. Um, you know, they're not giving

862
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: things away. Uh. They don't allow you to do a lot.

863
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: You know, from a reporters standpoint on the sideline, they

864
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: limit interviews. Um, they're very hush hush. They keep everything

865
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: inside behind closed doors. I mean you would never see something,

866
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: you know here, someone like Jalen Ramsey come out and

867
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: say something from the Patriots. That's just not what they do.

868
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: They try really hard not to react from it, as

869
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: we've seen this week from Rob Gronkowski. I didn't interview

870
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: with him post game, and I asked him specifically about,

871
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, the trade rumors in the off season and

872
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: why he stayed and then I asked him about Jill

873
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: and round Ramsey and he wouldn't let on at all.

874
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: He changed the topic, he changed the conversation and I

875
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: actually said him, I love how you changed the the

876
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: answer on me, and he goes, I've learned for the best.

877
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: And that's just what the Patriots are, you know. They

878
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: just they keep everything in the house. Uh, They're they

879
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: They're just totally focused at all times. It starts from

880
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: a top um and you we know about Bill Belichick,

881
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: but it even starts above that and with Craft and

882
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: Um and I've I've spent a lot of time with

883
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: Bob Crafts and they are all just the same as

884
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: they've ever been from the beginning until now. And it

885
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what's been happening behind closed doors. We do

886
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: not see it when we sit down and talk with them,

887
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: and maybe that's a great model for teams, you know,

888
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean as much as they won obviously, but how

889
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin is you've got this

890
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: flamboyant defense down here. I mean, you've got a completely

891
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: different situation. Do you enjoy that? I mean, is it

892
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: fun for you to have a team like Jacksonville? Okay?

893
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: I mean and they're new on the scene too, which

894
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: makes it interesting for people to see it, especially the

895
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: nation which hasn't got that much of a chance yet.

896
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: I think it's tremendous. And I love how Dog Moron

897
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: embraces it. I think that's great. And um yeah, you're

898
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: you're you know, this is a team that is trying,

899
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: that's new on the scene and trying to kind of,

900
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: if you want to say, make a name for themselves, right,

901
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's great. The personalities of this Jaguars

902
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: defense is what's drives this team, what makes people want

903
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: to watch. I mean you look at the defense and

904
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: you go down and you're like stud stud stud stud stud.

905
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's unbelievable. Uh, the talent level out there

906
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: and the personalities that come with that talent level. And

907
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: I love it, and it makes it even more exciting

908
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: going into this game against New England, you know, and

909
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: let's see what happens, and let's see the trash talk

910
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: that might happen out on the field, or how Jalen

911
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: Ramsey if he lines up against Gronk and the reactions,

912
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: and I think it's tremendous. How much work do you

913
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: have to do today? What's it Friday like for you? Tracy?

914
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 1: Are we going to see you at Stinging Shaggy tonight

915
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: at Daily's place? People going to see at the concert tonight? No,

916
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be at the concert. But we

Speaker 1: have a little, uh private golf function at the TPC.

918
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: So UM normally we would we would fly in either

919
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: last night or this morning and we would head out

920
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: to practice and we do our meetings with Jacksonville and

921
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 1: UM and then you know, have a good production dinner.

922
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: That's always fun. You know, our Friday nights are kind

923
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,280

928
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: we had right to the stadium, but UM, today is

929
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: a little unique, especially with so many golf guys on

930
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: my crew, so we figured why not take advantage in it,

931

Speaker 1: and we will meet with Jacksonville tomorrow. Well, if things

932

969
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: on Fridays to orchestrate a competition of which he's apart

970
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: Ryan um Ashlyn. As she mentioned, yeats uh, you were second.

971
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: I think I was third at seven and John was

972
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: he Mike doesn't even consider that this is so far

973
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: down Mike's radar in terms of what he cares about.

974
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: He's got how much going on and I'm not acknowledging

975
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: the score, but it doesn't really matter. Six times two

976
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: would be ninety two, which is what Ashland scored week one.

977
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: I had a strategy. I have a strategy and to it,

978
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: and that brings us to a key point. There is

979
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: a strategy to this because there are no wins week

980
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: to week other than you get draft position if you lose,

981
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: So that's a win for you. I've got a big

982
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: time draft position because not lost. But the reality of

983
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: it is is that she used Darren Rodgers and he

984
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: had a hell of a game, but you don't get

985
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 1: to talk to him again. He's done, see a sister,

986
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: but his knee might be done. Strategy there's nothing wrong

987
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: with getting them in early because you make sure you

988
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: get them in. But claim strategy and he went out

989
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: of the game. Brian, I'm sure I didn't think it's

990
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: a great strategy. All right, So here we go. First

991
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: place chooses last this time correct, and you can't use

992
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: the same players that you've used in past week. So

993
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: John the floors. Heres, we've got a quarterback, running back,

994
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and tight end to draft. I like Keenan

995
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: Allen versus Buffalo Keenan Allen. Excellent choice this week, I think, Brian.

996
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Eli Manning at quarterback against the

997
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. Interesting one right there. I will take how

998
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: about Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints a wide receiver?

999
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: So Ashland gets back to back picks here. I will

1000
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:36,479
Speaker 1: take Melvin Gordon and I will take Philip Rivers. Philip

1001
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: Rivers very nice. Probably my second favorite quarterback this week

1002
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: to Drew Brees, and I will take him now. So Brian,

1003
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: you've got Eli Manning I'm going to go. I'll go

1004
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: with Isaiah Crowell all right for the Jets against the Dolphs.

1005
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: Brian savings some big time players yards last week had

1006
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: a good week last week. You're gonna try to go

1007
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: from some outside the box thinking like in Miami defense

1008
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 1: that I think is okay, but not I'm with you, John.

1009
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: I like James Conner versus Kansas City because I want

1010
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: to use him because I don't know how long he's

1011
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: gonna last. Very nice and what I do last time

1012
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers, running back. So I've got quarterbacks. Um, I'm

1013
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: gonna go Stafford versus he bounces back. This is this

1014
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: one to learn on, John. Everybody else had taken a quarterback,

1015
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: you could have saved that pick for the very last

1016
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: Nobody else could have taken your quarterback from you. Um, Brian,

1017
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 1: you've got a wide receiver or a tight end here. Um.

1018
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: You know he's doing a lot of talking this week.

1019
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: I like the match up. I'll go with Allen Robinson

1020
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: for the Bears. Robinson, Okay, nobody has taken a tight end.

1021
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I don't think this is a deep

1022
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: deep cut, but I'm gonna go with George Kittle for

1023
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. This is a tough

1024
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: position this year, Ashley. You need your wide receiver and

1025
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: your tight end here. Both you gotta get him both.

1026
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: I'll go Mike Williams and Travis Kelsey. Okay, somebody is

1027
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: going all in on the l A Chargers this week.

1028
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Exception of Kelsey, I'm gonna go Christian McCaffrey at running back.

1029
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: I had some good games against Atlanta last year, so

1030
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with that. With a couple of defenders

1031
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: out for the Falcons, Brian need a tight end. Jordan

1032
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: Read for the Redskins every week, I will try to

1033
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: have somebody who's playing against the Colts defense. That's not

1034
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 1: a bad strategy either, right, and Jordan Read, you'd typically

1035
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: figured at some point get him in now and try

1036
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: that for Uh Well, I was gonna go Read where,

1037
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to. I'm I'm tempted by a

1038
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: s J. But I'm going Trey Burton. Trey Burton, Okay,

1039
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: hopefully a bounce back game for him. Alright, So John

1040
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: has Matt Stafford, James Conner, Keenan Allen, and Trey Burton.

1041
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: Brian went with Eli Manning, Isaiah Crowell, Allen Robinson, Jordan Read.

1042
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: I have Drew Brees, Christian McCaffrey, Michael Thomas, and George Kittle.

1043
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: And Ashland goes with Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon, Big,

1044
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: Mike Williams and Travis Kelsey this week for the Chant

1045
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: Week one Chance Take Notes Voice where the Crown While

1046
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: you can't, I hate this game and I hate you.

1047
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: I can't join the club? Uh? Did you come with it?

1048
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: He will? He won't? He I'm glad to hear that.

1049
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: Would Dante Fellar Jr. Good one? He will be fired up,

1050
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: obviously to play right because he's kind of been held

1051
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: back for a variety of reasons his own doing, primarily

1052
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: h He won't being off the field issue the rest

1053
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: of the way, Okay, at least in terms of no suspensions,

1054
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: no miss games because of that kind of behavior. I'm

1055
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: not gonna go with. He won't make any silly penalties

1056
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: in this game and maybe a little over excited. And

1057
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: he might be the key to the defense this week.

1058
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: The pass rush two sacks against Brady in the a

1059
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: s C Championship game, and I think his energy that

1060
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,240
Speaker 1: he brings to get that kind of pressure a Jackson

1061
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: a really good chance. Alright there, you haven't I agree

1062
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: with Mike. I think Dante is the ultimate wild card

1063
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: for this defense this season. Well, he sort of set.

1064
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: He's the guy who runs around with his hair on

1065
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: fire and hair on fire. I agree. Uh, just a

1066
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: general thought in the game. I mean you you've been

1067
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: talking about it all week. Have you felt the buzz

1069
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,400

1070
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,400

1071
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: difficult to call. I think, you know, I think, like everyone,

1072
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: what is wonder for net gonna do? Is he gonna play?

1073
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: And if he plays, how effective is he gonna be?

1074
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a big factor in this game. I

1075
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: think if he plays and he's effective, the Jags win

1076

Speaker 1: the football game. There you go, Mike Dempson, thanks so much.
