You try to focus on the daily 15 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, stuff of going on, and you know, but 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of kicking yourself in the butt, 17 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, for you know, the type of season that 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: we've had, so it kind of weighs on you. But 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: you gotta do a good job. You know, you gotta 20 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: lead the team and still you know, a ton to 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: play for or for us um, even though people on 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: the outside may not write that or say that, Um, 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: but you know this team has a lot of pride 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: and you know, we know we're going into a tough situation, 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: a playoff type atmosphere, a team that you know had 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: a lot on the line, and you know that that 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: needs to bring our game up and we need to 28 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: go out there and play well. That was a moment 29 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: of pure candor there because I came in this morning 30 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: complimenting are going to compliment you about Wednesday when guys 31 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: were trying to get you to focus and reflect, uh, 32 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: and you were completely focused on just the game. Yeah. 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you, how hard is that to 34 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: do at the end of the year. It's it's earlier 35 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: in the week. It's I mean, you you want to 36 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: be that way the whole time. I mean, you want 37 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: to be with like that every day and you have 38 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: to be you know, when you know you're up there 39 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: in front of the team and you're up there in 40 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: front of the coaches, and then you know in the 41 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: beginning of the week, it's it's it's obviously easier because 42 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: there's so much on your plate that you have to 43 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: get done. You know, from a schedule standpoint, so you 44 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: really can't afford to do anything like that. And then 45 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, you know last night, you know, just on 46 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: on the on the way home, I you know, just 47 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: started you know, kind of rehashing a little bit, and um, 48 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, just put you in that that same thing. 49 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: It's just like taking that just like you know, it's 50 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: a gut wrenching type feeling, you know, of of disappointment. 51 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: Not not only you know that you did a poor 52 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: job and I'm only talking about myself, is that you know, 53 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: the people that you've let down, you know, the people 54 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: that came into the season that excited the fans, the 55 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: people have supported the you know, the expectations and things 56 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: that that nature and you know and that that that 57 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: weighs on you for a long period of time. And um, 58 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, but you just you know, for me, you know, 59 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: once I walked through those gates and I come in 60 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: you know in the morning, and you know, you flipped 61 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: the switch and you go. I think fans sometimes don't 62 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: realize the reality what you just said that there's just 63 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: not time on a Thursday in week fourteen to reflect 64 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: on the big picture of the season. Fans and observers 65 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: do it all the time because they have time to 66 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: do it. But in your schedule, there's really not time 67 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: to look back until the seasons. Everywhere is yeah, there's 68 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: really not. I mean, it's just a constant wave of 69 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: you know what you have to get get done. I 70 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: used to tell people all the time, and a lot 71 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: of people think, you know, I think most people realize 72 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: it's not a nine to five type situation. And but 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: what's interesting is, you know, when these schedules get put out, 74 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, and let's say you're sitting there in March 75 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: and someone says, hey, listen, November seventeenth, what are you 76 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: doing at two o'clock, you know, you can honestly tell 77 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: them you know what you're gonna be doing. And you know, 78 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: because you have uh set times of where everything has 79 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: to be done and deadlines that have to be met, 80 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, as far as the game planning, and one 81 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: has to be done and one has to be drawn up. 82 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a pretty tough schedule, uh to 83 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: go through. I remember early in my career, you know, 84 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: I was you know, staying up you know, one night, 85 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: like truly within twenty four hours because I was a 86 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: young coach, and I had a game plan, I had 87 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: a draw and I had to do all that stuff. 88 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: And you know, some day, some night, most Tuesdays, I 89 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: didn't sleep, you know, and then went into Wednesday and 90 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: then try to catch up on the weekend. And you know, 91 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: it was my first year in the league and UM 92 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: an older and older coach, a veteran coach by the 93 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: name of Jimmy Ray Jr. Whose coached a long time 94 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: in the league. I remember he told me, He's like, 95 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: you're not gonna make it in this league. You know, 96 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to to do what you're 97 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: doing and and be successful because you know, you've got 98 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: to get yourself on a schedule. And I learned early 99 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: in this league that if you can get yourself on 100 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: a schedule of you know, what time you wake up, 101 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, try to have a time where you want 102 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: to go to sleep, when you eat, you know, everything 103 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: that you eat during the week, stay on the same schedule, 104 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: and that that helps you get through UM a season 105 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: because these seasons are obviously, you know, they're quite long. 106 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: I had an opportunity wants to interview Bill Walsh about 107 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: the same subject is after he retired for the forty niners, 108 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: and he was at Stanford and he said the one 109 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: thing that he had all week was on the Saturday 110 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: night if it was a road game, his version of 111 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: Tyler Wolf would bring up an alcoholic drink of some kind, 112 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: but you know, just one drink all week. And he said, 113 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: I was sitting down in the press room when I 114 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: interviewed him on the phone, and he said, nine times 115 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: out of ten, I woke up and there was one 116 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: sip gone front, you know. And that's just the pace 117 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: of the schedule that head coach, somebody in that responsibility 118 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: that chair takes. There's not much time for relaxation. No, 119 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: you're you're never relaxed because you're always you're always thinking, 120 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, you're always playing, you know, through and it's like, 121 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: you know, normally the you know what happens, you know Friday, uh, 122 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: you know Friday night, you know, you you try to, 123 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, see your family one time that you you 124 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: know during the week that you're actually have an opportunity. 125 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: You know, it was good when the kids were young, 126 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, because they were home. Now it's like, you know, 127 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: by the time I get home, they're out and by 128 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: the time they come back. I'm sleeping, you know, you know, 129 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: trying to get asleep. But then you know, on on 130 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: a Saturday, it's it's it's always difficult tonight before because 131 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: you're you're playing the game in your mind. I visually 132 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: play the game, go through all the game plans, have 133 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: them out, looked through them, talk through them, and try to, 134 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, visualize how this game is going to be 135 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: played out and the calls that are gonna be made 136 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: during the course of the game. So you know, it's tough. 137 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: And then you know you're you're exhausted and you wake 138 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: up and then you obviously your your anxiety and you're 139 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: fired up to get to the stadium. That's the worst 140 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: part when you wake up, from the time you wake 141 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: up on Sunday to the time that you actually UH 142 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: kick off. That's why coaches can't stand night games for 143 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: the most sitting around the hotel all the UH night games. 144 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: You know you want to wake you know, most coaches 145 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: just want to wake up and go play. So when 146 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: will you allow yourself time to reflect. Are you gonna 147 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: go somewhere with your family and say I want to 148 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: think about it, or is it just when it happens 149 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: it happens. No, I think that. I think I think 150 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: that you know, you have to you know, early on 151 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: while things are still freshen your mind. You know, there's 152 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: certain things that you want to get done. Uh, and 153 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: then you want to be able to pull yourself away 154 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: a little bit so then you can look at things 155 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: you don't want to be um evaluations and things of 156 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: that nature. You want to take the emotion out of it, 157 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, and you know there's a lot of emotions. 158 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, you know, with players, 159 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: and you're going through it, but you want to make 160 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: sure that you can you know, you don't want to 161 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: make any mistakes on you know, your evaluations of of 162 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: where you are and you know, and the first thing 163 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: I start with a self evaluation. So obviously that's gonna 164 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: be a long list and of things that I should 165 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: have done better this year. So you know, that's where 166 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: I'll start with. And you know, you're truthful with yourself, 167 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: you know where you could have done a better job, 168 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: things of that nature, and you know I'll start with that. 169 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: And and obviously, um, I've always been someone that's been 170 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: extremely hard on myself and taking accountability. Are you a 171 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: list guy. Yes, okay, I'd like to scratch those things 172 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: off and just go down them. Yeah. It's annoying because 173 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: in the summer when I'm on vacation, I always yeah, 174 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: I said, I said, I said, goals for myself of 175 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: what I want to do, and it drives my family crazy. 176 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: I want to rearrange the kitchen. I want to you know, 177 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: I want to put the nies. Whether Nie should be 178 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: with the forks of crazy stuff. I got issues, Yeah, 179 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: you should. You should meet Pat Kavanaugh. He's got a 180 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: list major issues. Yeah. So have you made the list 181 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: or will you do that on Sunday night on the 182 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: plane ride home or Monday of what you want to 183 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: to get done and how soon you want to get 184 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, that's it's already done. That's already done. 185 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: I have one player question. Not class came, but we 186 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: haven't talked to you since the game he had the 187 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: other day. Um, he had such a big year last year, 188 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: but it strikes me on some level that the year 189 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: he's had this year is just as impressive. Um, I 190 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: guess just talk about his consistency and his ability to 191 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: play at his level. Uh, no matter what's going on 192 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, you know, like I said, and I've 193 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: had a couple of questions during a week, you really 194 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: can't say enough about him. Um, you know the player, 195 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think you're correct in what 196 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: you said. I mean, this year is just as impressive 197 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: as it was last year. The only issue is a 198 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: lot of times in this league, it's it's about the 199 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: number of sacks. You know, Um, you can get you know, 200 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: a ton of sacks or you know, double digit sacks, 201 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: and you know, at the end of the day, you 202 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: don't play the run, you'll still get a probably more 203 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: publicity of being his pass rusher and more notoriety because 204 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's that's a number that people are 205 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna focus on. But you know, I think for Calais 206 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: this year, what's been impressive is just the tackles for loss. 207 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: He still has the quarterback hits, the force fumbles. I mean, 208 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's been a dominating force in a run 209 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: game this year. He said he might be his good 210 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: a Nay leagueinst run this year. I would say, I mean, 211 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, with his numbers and the way he's played, 212 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: I would I would agree with that. I mean, I 213 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: don't know everyone else's numbers you know, but um, he's 214 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: done an outstanding job. And you're talking about someone that's 215 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: that's been a consistent football player in this league for 216 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: a long period of time, a guy that really goes 217 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: about the game, who's a true pro. Um, he's a 218 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: guy that you know, we all need to pick each 219 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: other up, but he's one player that you know, he's constant. 220 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: He's consistent in his his approach to the game. I 221 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: mean when you come in and you know, if I'm 222 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: in a team meaning and I'm saying something and you 223 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: look over at him, he's not in his head, Hey 224 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: let's go, let's get ready. I mean, you know, you 225 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: he's he's he's He's a great example of what approach 226 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: should be. I have a player, Todd Westbrook. We talked 227 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: about him when training camp began and we weren't sure 228 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: what his role was or how he was going to 229 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: grow in the offense. But watching him in Miami last week, Um, 230 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: the way that he fought for every yard, the way 231 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: that he ran through the middle of the field after 232 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: a catch, the way that he set up the punt 233 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: return and got to the outside with his feet. Uh. 234 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: He in a year in which the offense has not 235 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: been very good. He has gotten better and better, it seems. Yeah, 236 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: I would I would agree with that. I think you know, 237 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, last year you can see the talent, you know, 238 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: but you didn't know, you know where it was going 239 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: to take it, because, like I said, there's a lot 240 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: of people with talents that are in the building and 241 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people with talent in every neighborhood that 242 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: you know you walk through, but you know are they're 243 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: going to have the ability and a discipline to do it. 244 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: And I think that you know, d D started earlier 245 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: this year in training camp, he was doing a couple 246 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: of nice things, and you know, I think as you 247 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: perform in this league, I think then you know obviously 248 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: your your productivity. As that rises, then you're looking to 249 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: see how you can get more. And I think the 250 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: one thing uh with d D is that he's shown 251 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: that and that he has the ability not just on 252 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, not just as a receiver, but I mean 253 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: he's one of the top punt returners in the league 254 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: right now, and I think everyone knows when they look 255 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: out there and he's back there, the other chance at 256 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: that ball can can go to the house, which is 257 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: which is great and I think, you know, there's other 258 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 1: things that he's he's done extremely well and whether it 259 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: sweeps reverses. You know, you saw us the other day. 260 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, he can throw the football, so you know, 261 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: we tried to get him to throw a touchdown. So 262 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: you know we're we're trying to get him the football 263 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: and he's been a UM. I don't want to say 264 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: a surprise because I think when you do that, you 265 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, look back and you're not saying, 266 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, we respected him, you know, to be a 267 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: good football player. I think the one thing that that 268 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: people don't realize is, you know, he's not a very 269 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: big guy in in in stature. Obviously he can run, 270 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you he is a tough guy, you know, 271 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: and I think that's what you're talking about, a fighting 272 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: for yards, doing the things you have to do. You know, 273 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: he'll make the tough catch of traffic, He'll he'll do 274 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: all those things. And you know, I have a lot 275 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: of respect for players that that can play the game 276 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: that way, no matter what their size and height and 277 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: all weight and all that stuff is. And you know 278 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: he's done a good job of that. And he loves competition. 279 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean he likes going out there and compete. And 280 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: then I think one of the best things and and um, 281 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: I think my wife told me this is that she 282 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: was watching the game and you know, he caught a 283 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: pass and or he was on the run and the 284 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: guy hit him really hard and then the guy with 285 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: to pick him up and he's knocked his hand away, 286 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: you know. And I mean that's what I think that 287 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: that's a great example of what type of you know, competitor. 288 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: He's like, wait, you're not gonna knock the crap out 289 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: of me and think you're gonna help me up. I'm 290 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: gonna get up on my own. So you know, he's 291 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: he's done a nice job. Anything else, I'm good. I 292 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: have one more than we have kind of this working 293 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm here for you. Just one more. We gotta this 294 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: working philosophy on the show. Uh, And that is the 295 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: teams in December that are playing for something as a 296 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: rule generally beat those teams that don't. And you beat 297 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: that last week, you beat that odd by beating the Dolphins. 298 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: So how do you have your team? It does it? 299 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: Does it say something about the character of this team 300 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: that you're going into Houston and they're talking about winning 301 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: that they're talking about beating that team for pride. Yeah, 302 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: I think so, because I think whenever, whenever, you know, 303 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: during the season, what's what's what's what's difficult, And it's 304 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: not that it's not known that this is gonna occur. 305 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: You know, when when you're not winning football games, there's 306 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: gonna be a point where people are going to question, 307 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, your mindset and your effort and you know, whatever, 308 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, everything's gonna be questioned. And you know, 309 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: as someone in this league or some former player, you 310 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: know that that's played. You know, what's hard for people 311 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: on the outside is that if you don't go out 312 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: there and play hard, you're pretty much obviously you can 313 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: get injured, but your that's your resume, what you put 314 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: out there on the field. So you know they're they're 315 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna play hard, they're gonna get you know, give the effort. 316 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: So the character of the team from that standpoint, you 317 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: know they've they've fought, you know, and obviously we haven't 318 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: been consistent, but at least you know, I don't think 319 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: that from the way we play games. And again, you know, 320 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: the the effort part hasn't been in question. I mean 321 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: I think it happened during that losing streak. You know, 322 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: people were asking about that, but I think, you know, 323 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: it's shown that they have come back and played hard, 324 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: even in games where you know we were out of it, 325 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: making a goal line stand at the end or trying 326 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: to score you know, offensively. So you know, now we're 327 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: going into this last game and we need to, you know, 328 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: play at a very high level.

All right, thanks head coach Doug moronk Um. 369 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: You know, he does his radio show on Thursday nights, 370 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: and there aren't a lot of coaches that would pop 371 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: back in and give you time on a Friday morning, 372 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, even though Friday is sort of 373 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: fun day around the NFL, they're cleaning things up. Uh, 374 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of coaches that would necessarily decided 375 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: to come and spend it. He doesn't say, you've got 376 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: five minutes with me, you know, I mean, if we 377 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: if we were still on with him, he would be okay. Um, So, 378 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: just a genuine appreciation for the fact that he makes 379 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: the time and tries to come in here and give 380 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: all of our viewers something that they can take away 381 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: from Sunday's game. Well, he's talked a lot since he's 382 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: been the coach here um about feeling an obligation to 383 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: the fans, and I get that every coach is going 384 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: to say that at a seven degree um. With him, 385 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: I think the fact that he's still a big Keys fan, 386 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 1: grew up a huge fan. He gets the fan connection. Um. 387 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: But it's one thing to say it, and it's another 388 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: thing too. You sort of walk the walk, if you will, 389 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: and U in in a twenty four years of doing 390 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: this in some college I've dealt with coaches on a 391 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: lot of different levels. I think a lot of coaches 392 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: would come in here and do this. I don't know 393 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: if as many coach if there's that many, who would 394 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: truly be engaged and work as hard as he does 395 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: to really be good at it and to and to 396 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: try to inform and show a little bit of himself. So, uh, 397 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: it's cool. It's been U. It's been very interesting two 398 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: years on that front with him doing this. I appreciate 399 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: it when you asked him a question and he doesn't 400 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: feel comfortable answering it, or he can't answer it. He 401 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: gives you reason on why he can't answer. He doesn't 402 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: just say no, I'm not answering that question. There's always 403 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: a reason behind it, which I think is appreciative because 404 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: a lot of coaches don't do that well. So a 405 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: reporter asked him on Wednesday, so how much old do 406 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: you have when it comes to put it together to 407 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: the to do list? I mean remember it? And he said, look, 408 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm thinking of Texans. I'm not thinking about this. 409 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: And so when he sat down this morning and said, 410 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'm starting to reflect him because I wasn't 411 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: expecting that because he has been so singular in focus 412 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: and and again in a genuine way it's all about 413 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: winning this week. Well, he made the point he let 414 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: other people worry about that stuff, right, And I think 415 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: it crept into his mind as he was driving home 416 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: last night. Uh after Yeah, the Hayes in the barn, 417 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: so to speak for all that, so there is time 418 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: to sort of you know, he he probably wasn't thinking, Okay, all, 419 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do on third and eight from 420 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: the you know, Texans fourteen as he was on on Tuesday, 421 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: but yeah, he uh, there's the time to reflect. But 422 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: as you said, I think a lot of coaches would 423 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: have No, I'm not thinking about that yet. I'm not 424 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: gonna you know. But again he's willing to admit what's 425 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: going on, which is cool. How about a couple of 426 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: thoughts on big things and uh much more show ahead. 427 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: All right, Big thing one is significance. What is the 428 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: significant significance of Sunday's game? Yeah, tough word, man, words 429 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: are hard. But where the words or your work? Right? 430 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: When you work with words? Okay, that's how that words 431 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: or your work? Alright, there you go, John, significance of 432 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: Sunday's game. Locker room this week, no mercy. They want 433 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: to go in and play spoiler, just like they did 434 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. It's been an interesting week because 435 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: everyone has still talked about winning on Sunday. There's but 436 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: no talk about the off season yet. It's all about 437 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: Sunday this week. Well, and the significance is Doug touched on. 438 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: He's obviously that these guys have pride in the you know, 439 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: this is your resume things. But you can get to 440 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: the end of a season like this and you have 441 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: a powerful team that's playing for, uh maybe the number 442 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: two seed at least the division title. Right. If that's 443 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: not enough motivation to host a home playoff game, um, 444 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: not playing on the road on wild Card week and 445 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: is certainly motivation as well. I mean, this can feel 446 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: like an ambush. You can get a team that just 447 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: gets down and this thing can get out of hand quickly. Um. 448 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: And I see the mismatch with the Jaguars offensive line 449 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: against you know, Jadavian Clowney and Whitney Merciless and J. J. Watt. 450 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: I just don't get the sense that this one's gonna 451 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: be a clubbing. I don't get the sense that they're 452 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: gonna be laying there getting killed. No, but up I 453 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: mean I'm not talking about upset win. I'm just jag 454 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: Wars win would be a upset. I mean, it wouldn't 455 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: go down in the annals because they're out of it, 456 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: but it would be an unbelievable upset. Right. But you know, 457 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: on the road against this team with this pass rush, 458 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: it's the pass rush that will tilt this heavily in 459 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: their direction. I'm not talking about upset or winning. I'm 460 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: talking about the Jaguars defense being able to keep it 461 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: from being at seven blowout, right, I'm talking about them 462 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: making a game of it for the second half, because 463 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: you've covered enough of these at the end of the 464 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: season where you know on both sides of it, where 465 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: one team just owns it and it's over quickly. Yeah, 466 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen players give up seven sacks in 467 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: a game situation um which I expected to be one sided. Frankly, 468 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think the home field pursuit, the divisional 469 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: playoff carrot, plus the fact that there's so many offensive 470 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: lineman down the Jaguars, I think it's gonna tilted heavily 471 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: in the Texans favor. Um. What you hope people will 472 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: look at is the overall last five games this season, 473 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: once the season was basically done. This team had a 474 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: shutout victory. They had a very good defense formance against 475 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: the Redskins. They beat the Dolphins, which they really shouldn't 476 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: have done if you looked on paper, you know what 477 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: with our theory that you don't. So they beat two 478 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: contending playoff teams out of the last five. The effort 479 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: overall has been there. I since it may look on 480 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: Sunday like it wasn't because of the huge mismatch on 481 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: that defensive line. Right, We'll see where it goes. They 482 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 1: they won twenty seven when they were here, and they 483 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: had one real strong offensive drive. The rest of it 484 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: was more misc used and inetness on the Jaguars offensive side. 485 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah that was Blake's f Yeah. I think that this 486 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: looks more to me like four team kind of game. 487 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: It may feel like they're in control completely. I don't 488 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: see the clubbing. I don't I don't see it. I 489 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: don't see that. I didn't say see him winning though, No, 490 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: none of that big thing too. Momentum. Can they carry 491 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: any over from last week's win in Miami? I think yes, 492 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: especially with the defensive performance they show that they cared 493 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: last week. I think if they would have lost Miami 494 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: would have tough motivation this week. But with the win 495 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: in Miami, especially the defensive efforts, I think momentum keeps 496 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: going this week well. And then the larger question, Ashlyn 497 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: is you know, did they have anything if they play 498 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: well right, if they show well of themselves in Houston, 499 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, is there anything that this team can carry 500 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: warward into the off season? And truthfully, the answer to 501 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: me is noel Um, you you want to get this 502 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: out of the way. You want to get the bad 503 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: taste of this season. You don't want anything without it. 504 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: There are so many big questions. Whether it's quarterback, I 505 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: think you're running back. It's a massive question because the 506 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: number four overall pick in his second season was a 507 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: non factor almost the entire way. Um, the injuries up front, 508 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: and with that we include the tight end and the 509 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: wide receiver, the the lack of of a cohesive, competent offense. UM. 510 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: No you you you break this thing down. And and 511 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why momentum doesn't really factor. You 512 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: get a new offensive coordinator, UM to some degree, not 513 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: sure what you're going to have, a different quarterback room, Um, 514 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: you're goet have different guys on defense. So I'm not 515 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: sure momentum factors much into the bigger picture. There won't 516 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: be a momentum from this game per se, because that 517 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: really doesn't exist. But I do think they're I don't 518 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: know if the word is momentum or carry over. I 519 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: do think the defense has shown in the last five 520 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: or six games that it can be something that carries over. 521 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: It can carry over a good defense in the next year. 522 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: For that seven game losing streak. It was easy to 523 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: say you weren't sure. Um but I don't think Malik 524 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: is going to be back. I don't think. I mean, 525 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: obviously Bury Church isn't gonna be back, but um so, 526 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: the parts that are playing defense right now, most of 527 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: those parts will be back. Uh, You're gonna lose, you know, 528 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm Lee Jackson is not really except in passing situation 529 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: isn't starting. You might lose to Sean Gibson, or you 530 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: might lose one of the defensive lineman. But for the 531 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: most part, this group is gonna be back. Um So, 532 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: I think there's a confidence that that dynamic can carry forward, 533 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: whether that's momentum or not. I think the last five 534 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: game momentum can carry it a little bit over to 535 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: show this front office that this defense is still good. 536 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: A big thing. Three is finale, the last game of 537 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: the two eighteen regular season. This is it Monday. They 538 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: clean out the lockers and they go home. I meant 539 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: to ask done Rown this question, but it's an emotional 540 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: for coaches. I wonder because some players mentioned it in 541 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: the locker room that they want to take advantage of 542 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: this being the last time that this team goes out 543 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: on the field together. There's no questions emotional for coaches. 544 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: He may not admitted emotion, he might out he would 545 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: have shed real tears during the answer, but there is 546 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: an emotion with it. Um. Yeah, it's there's always the element, 547 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: no matter how good or bad you are, that you're 548 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: playing with this group of guys for the last time. 549 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: And it's not just one or two like in the 550 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: old days in the seventies used to have a turnover 551 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: three or four people on a team. Now it's realistically 552 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: you're changing at least fifteen guys, even if you're a 553 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: good time to the team. Yeah, and uh, for this team, 554 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: there will be key pieces. You know, Lee Jackson on 555 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour and we basically we were staying goodbye 556 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: to him, you know, And there's that element because he's 557 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: not gonna be back. Uh. So there's certainly that element 558 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: of those guys. Uh. As as oddly as this season 559 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: turned out, Um, there are guys who won't be here, 560 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: who have put memories together and had some of the 561 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: best days of their NFL lives together. So there will 562 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: be emotion for these guys. And from the time these 563 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: guys show up and they are you know, cloistered in 564 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: a hotel at training camp through the end of the season. 565 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: They spend more time together than they do with their families. 566 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: You know, they are here early in the morning, they 567 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: are here late at night. There here on holidays. Uh, 568 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: they traveled together. You spend so much time you can't 569 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: help even when it's bad, forming bonds between players coaches. 570 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: You know, we have relationships, all of us do with 571 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: guys on both sides of this hallway. Um, so yeah, 572 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: it is okay. So two thousand eighteen comes to a 573 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: close and you're from how you'll look back aten and say, well, 574 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: what a disappointment, and but you look at the people, 575 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: the relationships, and you think, yeah, there's some good people there. 576 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's some emotion that that comes into apply 577 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: that question for sure. All right, oh, we're done with 578 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: big things. When we come back. Will do he will? 579 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: He won't? He might for the final time this season. 580 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: I know that will make you emotional. Uh, and we'll 581 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: pick games back after this. You can step up to 582 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: luxury now. Hello, I'm Dan Fields.

He might take you right now. Yeah, 619 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't say that like it can happen. 620 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: Joe won't. What won't Joe do? Not much? Joe won't 621 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: be here past two o'clock. Oh oh, that's a Sean 622 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: paying attention. Joe might be having chicken for dinner this evening. 623 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: Chicken's good. I like chicken. Joe eats chicken on Friday 624 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: all the time. Friday's Chicken Chicken guy. Joe might have 625 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: text Max on Saturday night in Houston. We should start 626 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: calling him chicken jet there. This is what we call 627 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: five and ten. Joe might turn off the microphone and 628 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: just ignore us. All right, Joe, do you have it? 629 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: You haven't. We haven't included you in this segment. Do 630 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: you have a He will? He won't, he might? I 631 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: do Okay, what is it? Why he will? He won't? 632 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: He might? Is you? Oh no? It turned the microphone off? Goodbye, 633 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: see you later. Yeah, he knew I'd go there. Joe 634 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: might be really smart. All right, we'll start down all 635 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: right with John and he took Jalen Ramsey as his 636 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: guy this week. Well, he will have bruises here, here, 637 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: and here on Sundays. He's gonna get pushed off a lot, 638 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: as DeAndre Hopkins m O Jenner. Hopkins is a great receiver, 639 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: but he gets away with more pushing on the top 640 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: of his route than anybody I've seen since Michael Irvan. 641 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: So Jalen has to deal with that. It's it's a 642 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: well planned strategy bound by Deander Hopkins. Who called for 643 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: it a couple of times. He'll do it almost every 644 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: time he does it and not get called on a lot. Uh. 645 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: Jalen won't let it bother him. Uh. He matches is 646 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: up exceedingly well against Hopkins because of his side, because 647 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: of his length. We all saw the game two years ago. 648 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: It was really Jalen's coming out party. Um and Uh, 649 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: I guess, just to sort of hammer on a theme, 650 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: he might be the most impressive optimistic story on this 651 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: team in the last month. And I know we've harped 652 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: on it a lot. People who have watched this show 653 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: are tired of hearing about it. He has changed dramatically 654 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: since mid season and you're one of the first people 655 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: to realize it. Um. I think people who are watching 656 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: closely are starting to see what we're talking about. That 657 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: he's not uh two point oh from this summer if 658 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: you follow me from the game in India right. So Uh, 659 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: he's gotta keep it up. Uh. It matters to him. 660 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: He is working very hard to be the complete player, 661 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: team leader on off the field. Guy doesn't come easy 662 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: to him. He's still young, but a remarkable turnaround. And Uh, again, 663 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: for people who don't think that he's the cornerstone dead wrong. Um. 664 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what the story from him will be 665 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: next summer. This summer was obviously the g Q story 666 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 1: and the brashness. Um. I suspect it will be something 667 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: about how many guys went to Tennessee to work out 668 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: with him and his dad, or something to do with 669 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: Jalen the family man, because yesterday we talked. We asked 670 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: him about Christmas and and he talked about his daughter 671 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: and Brie, and I mean it was just I'm telling you, 672 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: I was right on on this one, um, And I'm 673 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: glad that I don't. I don't, but he carried through 674 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. So I'm proud of him 675 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: for the way that he evolved into that leader in 676 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: the locker room. Because the leader isn't just the guy 677 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: that says something to everyone else. He's the guy that 678 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: stands up and represents the team and part of it 679 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: in a very strong fashion. Post Indeed, part of the 680 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: story has to include Max Hackman, because Jalen is Jalen 681 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: without Max. I think we all know that I was 682 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: walking out that might be a little I was walking 683 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: out the stadium yesterday and Jaleen was out there and 684 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: he looked at me and goes, I saw the video 685 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: with Max, I love it. I was like, yeah, you know, 686 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: Max pretended like he didn't like it, but he retweeted 687 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 1: and favored it and loved it. There is no I 688 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: would say this because I was holding the microphone that 689 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: Jalen was was commenting about, and the smile on his face. Now, 690 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: there are guys back there that don't like it at all, 691 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 1: or me. No one's following you around with the microphone, 692 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: but he was. He genuinely was enjoying the interaction with Max. Max. 693 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 1: Do you have that handic? Max is yelling in my ear. 694 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: Please stop, stop the attention. Can you call it up, Max, 695 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: because we might just sit here quietly until you do. 696 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: Max says no, he can't bring it up, all right? 697 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: Will you find it and get a wire? One more 698 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: thing on on on the Jalen and you talked about 699 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. I thought about this yesterday when Andre Johnson 700 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: retired and he is the alt I'm great Texans wide 701 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: receiver and he used to torch the jack bars. I thought, 702 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 1: thank goodness, the Hopkins kid can't be as good as 703 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: dere as Andre Johnson is. Oh yeah, yeah, he is. 704 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: I would say better. H John is a great player, 705 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: but he's equal, and we turn it over to you. 706 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: He will, he won't. He might is Leonard for next 707 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: He will be a disappointment in two thousand eighteen. No 708 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: matter the performance on Sunday, if he plays, he can't 709 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: change the narrative of this season with the hamstring and 710 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: the off the field issues. When we get asked about 711 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: the disappointments of two thou eighteen, Leonard for Nett's name 712 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: is right up there. He won't change the narrative this week. 713 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: Despite if he goes out and scores four touchdowns, he 714 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: can't overcome the issues that we're in two thousand eighteen 715 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: with this week. He might change. Someone might get to 716 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: him in the offseason and say to be the pro 717 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: that he wishes he could be, and don't waste the 718 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: talents that he has. A right so you're saying there's hope. 719 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm an optimistic so too. Okay, So I'll go with 720 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: Blake Boardles because I don't know whether I can go 721 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: with him in twenty nineteen or not, So I say 722 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: that he will if this is his final game in 723 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 1: a Jaguars uniform, he will acquit of himself. Well, he'll 724 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: go out there and play like the Blake Boarders. Now 725 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to he's gonna have to run all 726 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: over the place because this offensive line, is we have 727 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: chronicled for you all week, is just it's a shambles. 728 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: It's it's not an NFL offensive line, and it's going 729 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: against maybe the most powerful defensive line in football. But 730 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: you saw him last week. First drive in thirteen yards, 731 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: scramble fourteen yards, scramble nineteen yards, strike on second and eighteen. 732 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: Uh So, I say that he will leave a pleasant 733 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: taste in the mouths of Jaguars fans, maybe not with 734 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: a win, but with the way that he plays, and 735 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: there will be an appreciation for the kind of player 736 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: and person that he is. Um On Sunday after the 737 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 1: Houston game, win loser, draw, I think that he will 738 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: make people smile. Okay, just leave it at that. He 739 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: won't have much time. The offensive mine is not going 740 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: to do it for him. He did J. J. Watt. 741 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: I was watching him against a good Eagles offensive line 742 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: and he was crushing it. And then you've got Clowney, 743 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: who's his length, whose height, whose instincts the way that 744 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: they use him. I mean, he's going to find the 745 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: weak spot and he's going to exploit it. Um, so 746 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: he will be you know, he won't be able to 747 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: be comfortable. Um, he might keep this game in a 748 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: position he might be able to answer here and there 749 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: and and have this be in the third quarter a game, right, 750 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 1: and they might not be able to make it feel 751 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: as if they're really ever going to get there, but 752 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: they won't feel like they're being clubbed over the head 753 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: laying there just waiting for their season to end. Um. 754 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: But of all of those, I think he will. I'll 755 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: miss the kind of person he for sure. Um, if 756 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: he's not here, even as the bridge quarterback in twenty 757 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: nine agreed there all right, time for pick one and 758 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: pick it and John, you've got a big one. Yeah 759 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: you don't remember what it is? Okay, Yeah, you've got 760 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: the who thought we'd be talking about Browns and Ravens 761 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Well, and um I 762 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: did a reason for picking this, and either I didn't 763 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: remember that I picked it. It's uh, this is everybody's 764 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: sort of like last Monday. Uh. My brother in law 765 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 1: is a big Steelers fan, and we're sitting around Christmas 766 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: Eve our out of it. It's it's over. Don't be 767 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: so sure, not so fast, man, um. The Ravens are 768 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: not really a team that gets away from you. The 769 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: Browns are one of those teams. I think there's seven 770 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: seven and one or they're right, you know, seven and one, 771 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: which would be an unbelievable game for them or believe 772 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: believable season for them. Uh, they're just good enough. And 773 00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: they're not one of these teams that's playing as if 774 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: they're out of it. They're a team's playing with the future. 775 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: They have Pep in their steph. The Steelers aren't done. 776 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: The Steelers need this game to go the Brown's way. 777 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it will. But in the battle of 778 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks much would you take this guy or Lamar 779 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: Jack much Weirder things have happened in the NFL than 780 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: the Browns winning this game. This guy has he has 781 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: grabbed ahold of offensive rookie of the Year now s 782 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley has the other side of that football. But 783 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: he's got a real good grip on it right now. 784 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: And who knows, you know when you wouldn't be shocked 785 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: at the Browns. I would not I would not. You've 786 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: got one. Also do a good one. Colts and titened 787 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, lose and go home. Winner goes to 788 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs, Loser goes home. Darius Land are going to 789 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: have to try to stop Derrick Henry seven rushing touchdowns 790 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: the past three games. He's on fire. Marks Mariota questionable 791 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: big factor in that. But I think the Colts are 792 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: the more complete team. I think the Colts get it done. 793 00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: You realize that the Colts have never beaten Andrew left 794 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: when he's the starting quarterback. I'm sorry, the Titans have 795 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: never beat the Colts when Andrew starting QUARTERBA. Yeah, and 796 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: I think that's the overwhelming stat in this. Plus, you 797 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: know Blayne Garrett played well last week, but in that situation, 798 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: not having a starting quarterback against a team with their 799 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,439 Speaker 1: starting quarterback cults of one eight of nine, the only 800 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: loss was out here. Yeah. So I'll go with the 801 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: Bears at the Vikings. And here's the interesting part. The 802 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: Vikings are eight seven and one. Um, if the Bears 803 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: beat them and keep them from making the playoffs, they 804 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: will have invested four million dollars in Kirk Cousins, the 805 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: marquee free agent signing to go significantly backwards. Yeah, yeah, 806 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: I mean he had Adam Feelan who was off to 807 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: a historic start, and Stefan Diggs and Kyle Rudolph and 808 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: a dominant defense with him, and he didn't get it done. 809 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: So before you start going to the quarterback card, but 810 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: you started. They can go and spend whatever it takes 811 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: to get Matthew Stafford from the Lions, Nick Foles from 812 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles, or Joe Flacco from the Ravens. Understand, Kirk 813 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: Cousins is younger and has a strong arm and was 814 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: thought to be that guy and went with all those 815 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: weapons and that defense and didn't get it done. There's 816 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: a chance that they don't. Now there's a chance they 817 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: win and get into the playoffs and then you know, 818 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: who knows. But even if there, yeah, they were what 819 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: they thought they were going to be, right, it did 820 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: not have the impact that they believed that. Again, we 821 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: always make it always about the quarter come. Sure there 822 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: are other factors in that too, but he had a 823 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 1: good year numerically speaking. Numerically speaking, but there are certain 824 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: things that were the knock on him going in that 825 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,240 Speaker 1: are still the knock on him in terms of winning 826 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: in big moments. That was the concern. If they don't 827 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 1: make the playoffs after spending that money on that quarterback, 828 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:51,479 Speaker 1: with everything that was there, that is a really really 829 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: unpleasant taste in amounts of Vikings fans. All right, there 830 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 1: you have it.

Tito's 855 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 1: Vodka dot Com put that down to another song that 856 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: will miss over the next couple of months. Put on 857 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:56,919 Speaker 1: a list among Mike Dempsey joins us, think Michaels, That's 858 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: why I love traffic traffics great, h Um, he will, 859 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: he won't? He might? For the final time. Sure, this 860 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: is hard. I was listening to all you guys. You 861 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: had some pretty good ones. Um, I'll go with Keelan Cole. 862 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 1: How about that, I'll say, he will. I'll ultimately go 863 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 1: down like Leonard four nett As one of the more 864 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: disappointing players of the season. I think based on what 865 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: everyone with the organization was telling you, the step they 866 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: expected him to take forward this year that he clearly didn't. Uh. 867 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 1: He will go down as that he won't be guaranteed 868 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: a roster spot, despite the fact that he's an undrafted 869 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: rookie free agent last year that is on a very 870 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: affordable contract. You gotta be able to catch the football, obviously, 871 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: that's a big part. He'll have a chance, I think, 872 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,240 Speaker 1: and he might have multiple more chances because his speed 873 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: is something that's covered in the NFL. You gotta catch 874 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: a football ultimately to be a good receiver. But speed. 875 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: We saw Alvis wood aget how many years of opportunities 876 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 1: at year after year after year. They'll find a way 877 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: to utilize your speed. Uh, and some coach will think 878 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: they can teachmatch football. He's got to earn his way 879 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: back around here. You're exactly right. Yeah, it's hin. He'll 880 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 1: get a shot here. I think so. I think so too, 881 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: But he's not guaranteed to be on the team. I 882 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: don't think he's gotta you know, impress next song. It 883 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 1: was the Texans game where his demise began, where he 884 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,760 Speaker 1: dropped those two third down conversion opportunities on the first 885 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: two drives when the game was still very much there 886 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: for him, and then the Texans ran away with it. 887 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: And then of course the next weekend in London at 888 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: the end of the first half with that drop on 889 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: third down that we also had to fumble against Dallas late. 890 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't it was a close three game stretch the game, 891 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, the game started looking too big for 892 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 1: him at that point, which bumble against Philly, you know, 893 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: and the way that the way that his two thousand 894 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: seventeen ended, there was no reason and and the way 895 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 1: he worked in the off season, there was no reason 896 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: to believe that he wasn't going to take that step, 897 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: and yet he didn't. Um, okay, so you win, thanks 898 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: for joining us. How close did John come? He did 899 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: very well. I mean, had had we had a few 900 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,879 Speaker 1: more weeks in the season or you know, we sound 901 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 1: like a little league coach. He did pretty close. I think. 902 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 1: You know, we've had weeks where probably one of us 903 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,280 Speaker 1: has outscored another by forty points, so I mean, it 904 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: wasn't that far apart. John dug himself a hole early 905 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: in the season, and then he got. It was fun because, 906 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: much like Jeff Logman has over the last few years, 907 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: Sehn actually started to care and try and he's like, hey, 908 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: this is kind of fun, and so he would grind 909 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,439 Speaker 1: on it a little bit more. So he had fun 910 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: with that. And Ashland, you'll be happy to know. I 911 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 1: know you already do know this, but you held off 912 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 1: Brian Sexton. That's my only goal. The whole Melvin Gordon 913 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: debacle will be memorialized. Picking him in back to back 914 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 1: weeks and it costs about twenty points. And Ashland ended 915 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: up beating you. Okay, so that cost me third place. 916 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: But I think that the bigger problem for me was 917 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: that I saved Drew brees Is all season long, you know, 918 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: thinking I'm gonna pull him out against a division rival 919 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football and he throws from yards. I 920 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: mean the week I choose Breeze, he doesn't know that 921 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: that's format. Barkley had been a big performer the week 922 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,479 Speaker 1: I save him. Yeah, Barkley, Cincodell Beckham has been hurt, 923 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: has been shut down by a couple of teams. But 924 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: it is fun and it's you know, you can have 925 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: everything nailed and if your guy just doesn't perform that 926 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 1: one week, that's it. You know, you pick Christoph McCaffrey 927 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: in the wrong week, you're you're sad because he was 928 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: great pretty much all season long. I have a fantasy 929 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: question for the fantasy group. Is this Uh? I wasn't 930 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 1: worried you were asking me? Is this format? Um? Do 931 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: you like it better than like your career leagues where 932 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 1: you lock onto a guy for thirteen years? I like 933 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: them all. It's honestly, they're like your children, you know, 934 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 1: when you're this obsessed with it, like I am. I 935 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: play in four of these type leagues. Uh. You know, 936 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: every week, which is fun because drafting is one of 937 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: the big most exciting things about fantasy football and gives 938 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 1: you an opportunity to do that every single week. And uh, I, 939 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: so I enjoy that. I enjoy the ones that the 940 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 1: dynasty leagues where you keep all your players year after year, 941 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: and all the other ones in between. So like them all. 942 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 1: Which one is your absolute the one you want to 943 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: win more than because you do keep those players for 944 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: literally for years, and you develop a team and you 945 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: trade rookie draft picks, and it really feels more like 946 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 1: got you, you know, being a general Managerie Well, as 947 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: Bobby Lane used to say, I didn't lose, I just 948 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: ran out of tune. That's that's story of all over 949 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: a lot. Do you want you won this little league? 950 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: How many leagues do you play in? And how many 951 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,759 Speaker 1: will you win? Uh? In in terms of like head 952 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: to head leagues, like I consider us a head to 953 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 1: head league because we go against each other every single week. Um, 954 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 1: I was in twenty of those four of this style, 955 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 1: so it's only starting. You're in many more than that. Well, yeah, yeah, 956 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: I've won five of those with another one still pending, 957 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 1: a six to one pending. I'm on the or dog 958 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: going into last week. But then I'm in about a 959 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 1: hundred forty five leagues where you just draft them and 960 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: you never have to mess with them again. You draft, 961 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: we draft. I drafted back as far as back is 962 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: pretty much have every player in some league or another. 963 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 1: Not everyone, but close enough. Yeah. My my wife always 964 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: asked me who do you want to win? And I 965 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: always just look at her and say me, you know, 966 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 1: I really other than the Jags don't care, but you're 967 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: bit as I recall, we do another show together. Um, 968 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 1: your big Jaguars pick this year didn't work out right, 969 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: the Dante. But the in that format what it was 970 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 1: in those leagues where you draft a team and then 971 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: you don't touch it the whole season. You automatically get 972 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,479 Speaker 1: your best players every single week. And I was taking 973 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 1: Dante montcreave th as in. You know, so in the 974 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: a format like that, you automatically get the best performances. 975 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: You don't have to pick one to start him. He 976 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,800 Speaker 1: actually did probably return his value. You know, if you 977 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: get in your lineup four or five times over the 978 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: course of the season, it pays off, all right, more 979 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: than you wanted to enjoyed it. Thanks you, I appreciate 980 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: thanks for doing this. Thank you. All right, We're done 981 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: on a Friday with Jags Drive Time. We'll be back Monday, 982 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: John and Ashlyn will be and then the three of 983 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: us will be here next Wednesday to wrap up our 984 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 1: broadcast season. Thanks so much for enjoying the morning with us. 985 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 1: See you next week.
