You heard it here first, because we're 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: good lines. It's the same about of a game this weekend. 13 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: That means that there's a home game Sunday for how 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 1: are we expecting the crowd to be? Uh, I don't know. 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a beautiful day eighty degrees. Well, um, 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll be honest with you. I'm a 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: little low energy right now. Um. You know at this 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: point of the season that I was thinking last night. 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: Then once since September, my kids sat down to watch 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: the Saints and the Cowboys, and I do you want 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: to watch it one, no, kind of over it, right, yeah, 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: And I that's what happens when you go through this. 23 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't d a 24 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: percentage of the stadium. It's like, yeah, what are you 25 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: gonna show us? You know certainly will be I mean, 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: and that's that's what again, except in a few markets, 27 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: and really a very few markets. If if you're three 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: and seven this time of year, that or three and eight, 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: it's disappointing. You're gonna have some empty seats. And that's 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: that's the way of the world. It's not nineteen well, 31 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's ever been. Ain't different than that. 32 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to put in the field to 33 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: put people in the seat. Well, there was a time 34 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: before you where there wasn't anything else, right, Um, you 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: didn't have else. You didn't have the that phone thing 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: that you've got or the internet, and and so you went, 37 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: you watched it was part of you know, your sporting 38 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: social fabric. And that's not the case anymore. If you 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: if you don't have something vibrant to bring people on 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoons, they'll find something else to do. And by 41 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: the way, if it's eighty degrees, there'll be people on 42 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: the golf course at the beach, you know, playing tennis, fishing, 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: whatever they may do on a Sunday afternoon. Here's the thing. 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: The bummer for me is that I thought, as I 45 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: looked at the calendar when the season started, that today 46 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: the anniversary of the Jaguars being awarded to the city 47 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. That I said, that's going to be a 48 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: special day because we're going to talk about the team 49 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: pushing for its first Super Bowl appearance, UM in its 50 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: twenty year. And that's not the case. But I'm elated. 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: It's great because you were here at the beginning. I 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: was here at the beginning, and back then, every day 53 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: was a struggle to get everything done. There was so 54 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: much that needed to be done to put a franchise together. 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: And to think now that it's been twenty five years, UM, 56 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: really good years. You probably don't remember the day because 57 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: you weren't. Really I wasn't here yet, but I was 58 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: coming the University of Florida shelnnt UM and uh uh 59 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: I was it was. I was in the media room, 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: which probably didn't even exist when Slynn was there. Anymore 61 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: because it's been so long. But they and I hear 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: they've renovated the area. But I was talking on a 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: phone which which had a phone SHELNN used to connect 64 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: into the wall, and they had chords. I had little 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: rotary things that you put as Most people in Jacksonville 66 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: there at the time have a story from remembering it. 67 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: And I heard from the newspaper. Pete Prisco was in Chicago, 68 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: so the newspaper found out very quickly and I got 69 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: a call and I called my wife, and there was 70 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: a feeling at the time that you know, the town 71 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: when everybody same a and I was actually living in Middleburgh. 72 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: But I remember thinking, you know, this has a chance 73 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: because they were for the newspaper to change, you know, 74 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: the course of my life, you know, which is really 75 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: what's important to me. And uh, it was memblievable day. 76 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: And I didn't get into town. But most people who 77 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: are sports fans of the time have stories of coming 78 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: down to the landing when you would go to the 79 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: landing and it's, uh, you know, an unbelievable day. I 80 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: got here about six months later. And if we're going 81 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: to do the where were you? Then I can tell 82 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: you that I was working in Wichita, Kansas, and I'm 83 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: a native of St. Louis. It's where my family's all from, 84 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: and I wanted St. Louis to get the franchise. Irony 85 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: of all ironies that I've worked here for twenty five years, 86 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: but I walked back in. I was doing an afternoon 87 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: sports talk show, and I walked back in and the 88 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: AP Wire and to do the old John thing we 89 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: should lend. The ap wire used to actually print out 90 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: the stories right on paper, and you'd cut them up, 91 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: and I'd cut them up, and I'd have a handful 92 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: of things that I was going in to do the headlines. 93 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: And I looked and it said the NFL is going 94 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: to award the thirtieth franchise to Jacksonville, Florida. And I 95 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: remember saying, Jacksonville, Florida. Why in the world, where where 96 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: is Jacksonville, Florida. I knew Miami and Tampa New Orlando 97 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: was had no idea, And a month later I found 98 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: out that I was going to be moving down here 99 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: to work over at w o k VY, and of course, 100 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: irony of irony's but I remember that day thinking Jacksonville, Florida, 101 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: and see the interesting part is that back then there 102 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: were probably a lot of people all over this country. 103 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: They had no idea about Jacksonville. They knew probably more 104 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: about Jacksonville, North Carolina because of its prominence in the 105 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: military community. And yet Jacksonville, Florida here now is one 106 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: of thirty two teams. Uh. The connection with London is 107 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: obviously there and gives it even more prestige and national. 108 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: But five years ago the franchise was awarded to the 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: city of Jacksonville, and um, you know, I got here 110 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: six months afterwards. But I can tell you, um, she's 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: never been the same. It completely changed. Say I can 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: you know, I can remember I didn't go to the 113 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: bobber say helicopter in the Gator Bowls, friends who did 114 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: right and being in college at Florida all through their 115 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: pursuit and reading about it in Sports Illustrated and how 116 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: close they came to several different NFL franchises. Remember I 117 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: got to the paper. H I've told the story on 118 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: there before. Throughout the expansion process, there was a feeling 119 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: of Pete Priscoe was more tied in than anybody at 120 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 1: that time, and he kept telling people, especially six months 121 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: it was gonna happen. That's gonna happen, and everybody thought 122 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: he was absolutely nuts. And then about a month beforehand, 123 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: he was telling people in the paper, Look, this is happening. 124 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: People in the paper didn't believe them. People in the 125 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: paper he would write stories and they wouldn't believe the stories. 126 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: That's how much of an upset it was. And he 127 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: had people who were tied into the expansion process on 128 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: a level that was unbelievable, but it was so unbelievable 129 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't accept it sometimes and he had to 130 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: get second and third sources. And so that's how much 131 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: of an upset it was. It was monumental. Well, and 132 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: that upset, that underdog mentality. Uh, it kind of rode 133 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: through the end of ninety four and into ninety five, 134 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: building up to the first game. Here I can remember, 135 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, the Carolina Panthers were awarded at the same 136 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: time month before. But if you know, start and Joe 137 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: Fortnado probably remembers this as well. Um, Almost every time 138 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: there was a story about the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 139 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: paper that wasn't Jacksonville or Carolina, you'd see the Carolina logo, 140 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: the Panthers logo next to Jacksonville. Back during the ninety season, 141 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: we we'd go to Cincinnati and the Cincinnati newspaper would 142 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: have the Panthers logo and its Jacksonville Jaguars. Anyone could 143 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: see the difference between the panther and a jaguar. It's obvious. 144 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: What do you know, Joe, real quick, because you were 145 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: here it hurt. But just a story for you about Um, 146 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: the day that the franchise was I was working over it. Okay, 147 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: remember we covered the heck out of it, and we 148 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: we all just figured it's going to happen. They're going 149 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: to get it. And I forget who it was if 150 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: it was one of one of the founders. Johnny helped 151 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: me out here. Um, part of the would be ownership group, 152 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: not Wayne necessarily, but somebody ry and uh, it might 153 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: have been pet Wayne who who Let's slip out that 154 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: to the media that he walked out of a room 155 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: and he knew ahead of time and he gave everybody 156 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: kind of a wink and and nobody knew about it, 157 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: and that's when we kind of all knew. And when 158 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: the announcement was made, I was like, well, okay, we're 159 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: we're the biggest station here. We were going to get 160 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: this team. This team is going to be on our air. 161 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: You know. That's the way we were. And you know, 162 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: luckily it happened. And that's history. Yeah five years ago today, Yeah, 163 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: it sure was. And as I've I looked back on 164 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: all twenty five of those years, I realized just how 165 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: meaningful it's been win or how I spent half my 166 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: life in this building. That hit me the other day 167 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: when I was thinking about that. But the reality of 168 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: it is is that the team with the most wins 169 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: in NFL history also happens to be the team with 170 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: the most losses. So you go through the ups and 171 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: the downs. Um. But the impact that a franchise has 172 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: in a city, an NFL franchise, especially this one, it's 173 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: the only one in this city, has been significant. Um. 174 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: So we'll just leave it at that. Haven't grown up here. 175 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: It's a different town, all right.

Now, if you don't 211 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: have any recollection of that process, do you know where 212 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: were you in in nine I think I was coaching 213 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: at the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, 214 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: and uh my mind was so far away from you know, 215 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: the NFL and on that I was just you know, 216 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: trying to do the best job I could. Right there, 217 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: were probably probably getting ready last game of the year. 218 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: We play Merchant Marine, which is a big rival game, 219 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: and they actually take one of the ship. They take 220 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: the ship up the Connecticut River and come to the game. 221 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: So that was a big game. And in that first year, 222 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have a very good team. Um, 223 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: we were a new stat of and uh, we wanted 224 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: to win in that game, which was a great way 225 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: to end the year. Did you always aspire to the 226 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: NFL and you started off in college? But is this 227 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: where you wanted to be? No, I just wanted to coach. 228 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: I didn't really have any um aspirations of going to 229 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: the NFL because of my time when I was a player. Um, 230 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: I saw things that you know, I just didn't appreciate 231 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: or didn't didn't really like, and I just thought that 232 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: there's more to give as a as a college coach, 233 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: and and that's where I started out, and you know, 234 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: getting into it, what happened was that everyone wanted to 235 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: be an NFL coach and I would always be the 236 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: guy in the room going be careful what you wish for. 237 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: It's a lot more difficult thing than you think, you know, 238 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: handling players and things of that nature. And then next 239 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: thing I know, I'm starting to think about you know, uh, 240 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: maybe these guys are right and I'm getting phone calls, 241 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: not even pursuing anything. Next thing, I know, the Jets 242 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: offer me the job, and I'm sitting there going gosh, 243 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: I mean, everyone wants to go. I have an opportunity. 244 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: What should I do? And then I wanted to obviously 245 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: taking the job. Then would you have been as good 246 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: as yours as a coach if you hadn't played. I 247 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: think the playing what the playing does is the plane 248 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: gives you a perspective of I believe what you can 249 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: ask out of the players. So in other words, UM, 250 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: and the other thing it does, it gives you a 251 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: good feel of what the locker room is and and 252 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: the training room and the way you not you know 253 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: the day, you know what they're going through, so you 254 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: know you can understand some things to playing wise, I 255 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: think you can understand UM because they always believe what players. 256 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: You have to say, Hey listen, we need you to 257 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: get this done. This is tough, and hey listen, you've 258 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: got to get this done. This is what we expect 259 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: you to do. And I think when when the player 260 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: sits there and you're able to communicate with him saying 261 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: look that that was a tough situation, UM, and then 262 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: this is what we can do better. I think the 263 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: player appreciates it rather than saying you know this, this, 264 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: this and not have an understanding of what they have 265 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: to get done. I'm curious if if your time the NFL, 266 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: which is now significant, has has flipped your opinion and 267 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: and maybe now you think the NFL is the only 268 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: place to coach and going back to college it doesn't 269 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: seem like it would be appealing for you. Well I don't. 270 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean personally for me, I love it right here. 271 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to do. Um. Obviously we 272 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: have a lot of work, uh you know here in Jacksonville. 273 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: Uh So that's a that's a challenge. It's one that 274 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, I want to make sure that you know, 275 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: we get this thing turned the right way and do that. 276 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: But I do have an appreciation, though outside of myself, 277 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: for all coaches at every level. I think, uh, the 278 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: one thing that I've always told people that just because 279 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: you have an NFL logo or that NFL patcha doesn't 280 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: make you a better coach than necessarily a college coach 281 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: or a high school football coach. I think there's great 282 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: coaches in high school and that's the same way in college. 283 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: You know, you know, whether you're in the A SEC 284 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: or the SEC where you think that you might be 285 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: better than everybody. I used to say to myself, you 286 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: know there's someone in the MAC, there's somebody at Courtland 287 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: State Division three that's that's just a good of a 288 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: coach shelln is a bit of an sec ye around here. So, uh, 289 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: this has obviously been as difficult a week as we've 290 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: seen all season long. Have you ever had one like this? 291 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: Is there something that you were able to draw from 292 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: when you have a player get suspended and you have 293 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: to make a coaching change and a positional change at quarterback? 294 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: Have you been a part of it where you have 295 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: something you can draw from? Um, I don't know if 296 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: it's if it's if if it's something like you look 297 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: back in your past and you can draw from. I 298 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: think it's just a matter of, you know, again, the 299 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: challenge of being a good leader in times like this 300 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: where a lot of things are going on, and make 301 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: sure that, um, you're doing everything you possibly can the 302 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: win football games and when things happen, don't sit back sulk, 303 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: you know, put your head down about it. You know, 304 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: going to attack it, and you know you're gonna get 305 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: questions you know from uh from everyone, you know, from 306 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: from media to management to everyone, of hey, what's going on? 307 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing? And if 308 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: you get consumed, you know, we're trying to um defend 309 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, the decisions and things that you make, you're 310 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: never gonna get a chance to go forward. So for me, 311 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: it's okay, what do I have to do to get 312 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: this team to win? Okay, this is what we have 313 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: to do, and then put a plan in place and 314 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: go after it. And and I truly believe that that's 315 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: the only way that you can work yourself, you know, 316 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: through these things. And I think you know, too many 317 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: times I've seen where people defend agendas or people defend 318 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: or make excuses, and when and when that's when that 319 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: stuff happens, then there's no way that you can you 320 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: can grow or fight through it. Because I do believe that, 321 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: um that if you fight through it and you and 322 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: you we go ahead and we start winning and we 323 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: start doing those things, it's gonna create a foundation for 324 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: success in the future. So looking at the week, you've 325 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: seen Cody Kessler on the practice fields, gott Milanovitch working 326 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: with him, how would you evaluate how they've worked together? 327 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: So it's been it's been a good week of practice 328 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: and all he phases it really has. I think that, 329 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, that's the one thing people who question or wonder, 330 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: like how you know, how's the team? How's the team? 331 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: And you know they've they've responded quite well. They're working 332 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: extremely hard. We've had two good days. I've challenged him 333 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: to hey, let's let's get our third day in today. 334 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: You know, and obviously we know we're in a profession 335 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: where Sunday's performance is is really the key that you're 336 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: going to be evaluated on. But you know they've done well. 337 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: You know, it's you don't have a lot of time. 338 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: It's not like you could sit down for hours and 339 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: talk about philosophy or anything like that. And I'm talking 340 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: about you know what Scott now being the play call 341 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: or you know, Cody obviously Iss has has spent a 342 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: lot of time. But I think both both Scott and 343 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Cody understand that this is an opportunity for them that 344 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily happen quite a bit. UH, It's an opportunity 345 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: for them to lead, UH, to show and to help 346 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: our performance to win games. With Scott, do you just 347 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: sort of assume that he knows how you want things called, 348 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: or how does that dynamic cord Well that that he'sn't 349 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: he I mean he does know that. I mean as 350 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: well as all the other offensive coaches or defensive coaches, 351 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: a special teams. So those things are done in conjunction 352 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: together all the time. I think that you know, uh, 353 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: you know, with Scott being able to make a decision 354 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: on having him be the play call that that came 355 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: back uh probably when you know, when we're interviewing him, 356 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, looking at the background, seeing 357 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: what he's done. He has called plays, He's won a championship, 358 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: he's been a head coach, you know, so he's done 359 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: a lot. He's been a quarterback. So you know, there's 360 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: a lot of things that you would check the boxes with. 361 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: And I think from the play calling standpoint, people are 362 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: gonna know, like, hey, what's different, what's what's not? Well, 363 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot of that's gonna depend on what we feel 364 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: Cody does best. You know, that's what you're gonna see there. 365 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: And uh, he's had a good week of practice and 366 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: he's put a lot of time in so again, it's 367 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: an opportunity. I don't want to, you know, put all 368 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: this pressure on saying oh this is different, this is 369 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, this is gonna be great. Um, you know, 370 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: he's got to go out there and perform and that's 371 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: what he's gonna be judged by. Offensive line were talked 372 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: in the preseason about cohesion, about communication, about guys working together. 373 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: You obviously have an interesting perspect active on it. How 374 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: do you take a group of guys that haven't played 375 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: together in a short period of time and create some 376 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: of those things, those intangibles that you have to have. Yeah, 377 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just tough. I mean, because you know, 378 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: you can talk things out in the film room and 379 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: you can say, hey, we'll make this call, we'll do this, 380 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: this is what I'm gonna do. But there's a point 381 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: of you know, where there's a feel for how I'm 382 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: coming off a block or how we're gonna start this block. 383 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: At those things that need to be worked on, you know, 384 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: so you consistently have to work on that and then 385 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: make no mistake about it over a period of time. Um, 386 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: you know, then all of a sudden, you're you're playing 387 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: off each other, You're getting a field for each other. So, uh, 388 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: from that standpoint, you know, obviously we're not in that 389 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: situation because we do have um, you know, so many 390 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: you know, new guys playing together. But you know, at 391 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: the same time, UM, we've got to be able to 392 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: help them scheme wise, so we don't put them in 393 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: a lot of those situations where the combinations are there, 394 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: you know, with the you know, whether it be past 395 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: protection with stunts, whether it be the run game with stunts. 396 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: You know that we're doing things that create some confidence 397 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: where they can come off and and just and just 398 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: fall into it and and do it rather than trying 399 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: to really manipulate it and have a great feel for it. 400 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: But you know a lot of times in practice, well 401 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, those guys are mixed up a lot of 402 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: times working together. But you know, now you know Shatley's 403 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: and there Pats and the Pats been here you know before, 404 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: uh Flowers, So basically we have Pat and Flowers who 405 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: are with the giants, you know what I'm saying. So 406 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure they've worked together there a little bit, and 407 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: they've been working hard this week. You mentioned good week 408 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: of practice. Is that something you watched for in terms 409 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: of keeping them engaged, considering the record, considering the you know, 410 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: what's happened? Is that something that you Yeah, I think 411 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: it's easy. I think it's easy to say. You know, um, 412 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, coach out of practices, Hey, listen to practice? 413 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Are great their professionals, that's their job, that's what they 414 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: need to do. Um. You know, you hear that a lot, 415 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: you know, and the players get that a lot, and 416 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: the coaches, we get that. But you know, human nature, 417 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, when things aren't going well, you know, you 418 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: have to make sure that you get to the right 419 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: guys on a team that are going to provide that 420 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: leadership and motivation. You make sure that you UM, for me, 421 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: I make sure that I you know, no elephants are 422 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: in the room. We throw it out there, Hey, this 423 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: is what it is, and use things to motivate and 424 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: go out there and see, you know how the player 425 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: of the practicing. Because you know, if if it's my 426 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: job to make sure that we practice well and we're focused, 427 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: and it's my job to make sure that we perform 428 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 1: at a high level. So I just want to make 429 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: sure all that stuff's going on so we can get 430 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: this thing right and get back on track. With for 431 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: NET serving the one game suspension this week, how do 432 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: you plan on using Carlos Hide and t J Yelden. 433 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: Are you confident that they can overcome the load that 434 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: he's not there for NET? Yeah, I think you know, 435 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 1: we really haven't played with Leonard for quite a bit. 436 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean when you look at it, I think it 437 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: was a half of the New York Giant game and 438 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: half of the New York Jet game. Um, and then 439 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: he didn't come back until you know, Indianapolis, So it's 440 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: three games so and then the third quarter you know, 441 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: a flaw. So he really hasn't hasn't been there, So 442 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: it's not something that is new, you know what I'm 443 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: saying with Carlos and t J and you know, David 444 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: Williams back there. So I don't think that, you know, 445 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: to answer your question, yes, I do think they can 446 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: handle They can handle it. Um, they've done it before. 447 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: You know, we've shown that, we've we've we've been doing 448 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: it during the season. But make no mistake about it. 449 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's a it's a blow to 450 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: our football team and it's something that we've got to 451 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: learn from that we can't you know, put ourselves in 452 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: that type of situation where we you know, hurt the team. Uh, 453 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: first half up their defensive loust twenty nine points, second 454 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: half nothing from your perspective, what was the difference between 455 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: first half and second half? And what do you need 456 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: to see from your defense against Andrew Luck. We had 457 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: some breakdowns, you know what I'm saying early in that game. 458 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things. We just got 459 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: to make sure that you know, we're we're doing our job, 460 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: we're in the in the right place. I think everyone 461 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: can see if someone you know, gets beat, someone makes 462 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: a great play, or somebody misses a tackle. Um, but 463 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, there were guys that were running and I 464 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: think that you know, once we've got everything uh, once 465 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: we I shouldn't say once we got everything corrected, once 466 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: we started doing everything the right way, you know saying, 467 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: and we're doing our job, then we were able to 468 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: do a much better job to work our way back 469 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: in the game. So I think that you know, for us, 470 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: we've got to make sure that you know, we don't 471 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: make those type of critical mistakes early in the game, 472 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: both offensively, defensively or special teams. And when we've done that, 473 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: as a team we've played well, we have not been 474 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: able to do that for four quarters though, whether it 475 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: be offense, defensive, special teams, there has been that breakdown 476 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: somewhere where we haven't been able to overcome uh, penalties, 477 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: drops from you know, giveaways, so all those things. You know, 478 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: when people say what's going on with this team, I 479 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: think it's very simple to look back and say, you 480 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: know what the problems are why they're not winning because 481 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: we're not even giving ourselves a chance to win. We're 482 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: actually losing the game before we can win the game. 483 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: And that's something that we've addressed with the team. Um, 484 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, quite a it and it's something that we 485 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: have to go out there and do a better job of. 486 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: And I have to do a better job a head coach, 487 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: Doug Bara, thanks for your time.

You fire 524 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: your friend, the offensive coordinator. And that couldn't have been easy, 525 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: by the way. I mean, those two guys are close. Uh. 526 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: You bench your quarterback uh. And Jalen Ramsey has been 527 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: on the injury report and not practicing this week. Can't 528 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: be an easy thing to come in here and sit 529 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: down and smile and talk. No, but he's a pro 530 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: and he's done it, man, he knows Uh. Again, he's 531 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: been a professional football coach and I mean that in 532 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: the obvious sense. And he's handled this in a way 533 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: he has. He has acted and done the job as impressive. 534 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: We've all been around coaches who have been snooty, who 535 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: have been short, who have been tough to deal with 536 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: when things go bad. Um, but Doug is not. He's, 537 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: like you said, like a pro and we appreciate him 538 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: doing that. How about a quick run through big things. 539 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: Then we'll do pick one game and picket he will 540 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: he won't. He might take another break in a fantasy 541 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: football wrap up a Friday morning. So first big thing, 542 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: big thing one is new look. We know all the 543 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: changes that happened to this football team this week, new 544 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: play caller, new quarterback, learnard for not suspended Come Sunday. 545 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: What do we think of this new look and how 546 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: it's going to result for this team? Nice? What you 547 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: expect there? Uh? I have no idea except history tells 548 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: me that there's a good chance they'll be a jump 549 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: uh and a spark from a new play caller. Only 550 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: because the Colts have never they have nothing to game 551 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: plan off of Scott Lanovitch for So, I think you'll 552 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: see a jump. I think you'll see some energy. I 553 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: don't know how long that lasts. It's usually a a 554 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: a burst and then back to earth. That's the hope. 555 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to expect from Cody Kessler. Uh. 556 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: He was impressive through stretches when he played against the Texans. 557 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: UH in the preseason, he looked like a backup. He 558 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: looked like he was still getting used to the offense, 559 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: which is what you expect from a backup quarterback who 560 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: just got here in preseason. So um, I said to 561 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: go down field more. I expended to be more accurate 562 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: than Blake. I don't know how I hand. I don't 563 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: know how he'll handle the past rush compared to Blake, 564 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: and I don't know what he has around him. So 565 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a big mystery going in. I think 566 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: if the defense can do what the Cowboys defense did 567 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: last night, in other words, set them up, take a 568 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: high powered offense and neutralize it. UH. If they can 569 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: do that, then it could be a fun Sunday afternoon 570 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: and we could see Cody take some chances. Um. But 571 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: if the defense struggles like they did in the first 572 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: half in Indianapolis, I don't know how Cody Kesler puts 573 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: it on his shoulders without Leonard for Nett, without Elstin 574 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: Seferian Jenkins without Norwell and and the offensive line being intact. 575 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: But if the defense steps up, if they can lean 576 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: on the defense on Sunday afternoon like the Cowboys did 577 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: last night against the Saints, they can win in there. 578 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: Tom Now you think it's coffee, it's cool, Aid, it's 579 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: Jaguar's cool. I'm gonna give you one here. I do 580 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: you remember in October going in how we thought the 581 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: schedule was sort of tough in October? How tough is it? 582 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: Looking back? Yeah? The Chiefs, Cowboys, You think the Cults 583 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: were any good? All of a sudden they're on fire, 584 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: Texas and one in a row, and the Texans um 585 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: turned out to be, you know, as bad as they 586 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: started playing. It was one of those where it just 587 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: came into boil. You couldn't have gotten that stretch at 588 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: the worst time. Might be four of what the how 589 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,959 Speaker 1: does stay teams in the league right now? Doesn't mean 590 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: it's an excuse for them having lost all those games 591 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: or haven't played the way they wore. But I don't 592 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: think we realized going into October. I can do the 593 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs were tough. I'm not sure we knew quite how 594 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: tough the rest of that schedule was going to be 595 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: um and it bit them. So it's just a little 596 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: cool aid, a little reason why they played the way 597 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: they did. I do remember that starting October that was 598 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs Week, and we talked about, you know, that being 599 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: the toughest component of the month and that they were 600 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: going to move on and we weren't sure about the Chiefs, 601 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: but it wasn't a talk of this well. And the 602 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: week that they went I remember because I flew home 603 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: commercial from Kansas City and I watched the Sunday night 604 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: football game between the Cowboys and the Texans, and it 605 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: was you looked at you looked at both of those teams, 606 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: and you thought you'd be okay. They played those two 607 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: teams the next two weeks and I thought, yeah, they'll 608 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: they'll get out of this, and then of course they did. Yes, 609 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: the Colt was actually the ninth week. I think I 610 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: had that wrong, still made up on the fly. That's 611 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: met Eagles too. Hence the cool which was really party 612 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: big thing too. All Right, who's ready, who's going to 613 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: take their shot? These next five weeks? After hearing Todd 614 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: wash yesterday, I went and I made this lovely graphic. 615 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: I went with Ronnie Harrison, that's gonna get his shot. 616 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna get more snaps. He's been playing well at 617 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: a high level of this season. I think he is 618 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: going to be ready in these next five weeks. He's 619 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: one guy, another defensive back. You pick whichever one's ready 620 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: to go, Trey Herndon Er or Quentin Meeks. Meeks looked 621 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: like he was going to be I don't know what 622 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: a player or coming on, but he had a decent 623 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 1: showing in London against the Eagles. He's been out ever 624 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: since with the m c l injury. But uh, if 625 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey can't go, and he hasn't practiced the last 626 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: two days, so I don't know whether he'll be able 627 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: to or not. One of those young corners. And by 628 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: the way, they were very high on those young corners 629 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: coming out of training camp. Yeah, they were higher on 630 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: Herndon coming out of camp than Meeks. But Meeks that 631 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: played exceptionally well against the Eagles. I'd be shocked if 632 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: Ashland's graphics guy, Ronnie Harrison doesn't start, By the way, 633 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: they haven't said that, but I don't know why he 634 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't at this point. Um, it's time and Gibson has 635 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: a nine point six million dollar cap figure in you 636 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: have to be thinking about moving on from that. Yeah, 637 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: well you've got to move on from Church period. I mean, 638 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: Gibson I think has a chance to be back. Church 639 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: has no shot, and his cap figure is a six 640 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: million dollars whatever the cap figure. But um, I think 641 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: Taven Brian I'm not sure how many more reps he'll get. 642 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: But my understanding is he's playing much better the last 643 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: two or three weeks, to the point where they really 644 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: like what he's doing. Um, he's getting the fundamentals of 645 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: this defense down a lot more. Through the first eight 646 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: weeks of the season, you weren't sure what you had. 647 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: I don't think they knew what they had. Um, but 648 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: you're starting to see them comment more on him. I'm 649 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: hearing it's real that they really like what they're saying. Well, 650 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: that's critical. On the past. On on Ben Roethlisberger, sard 651 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: touchdown to Antonio Brown, Taven Briant picked up the left 652 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: guard and was pushing him back. He was half a 653 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: second from knocking Ben Roethlisberger over using the guard. It 654 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: was a very impressive play. Yeah, the key to remember 655 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: with him Brian. As you know, he's playing the run 656 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: very well. He's not quite getting the quarterback yet. That's 657 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: not unusual for a rookie not to have his past 658 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: rush is quiet and he's the big end. Remember and 659 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: Calias Campbell didn't have a fourteen sack outburst until he 660 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: was thirty one years old and in Jacksonville, so that's 661 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: not out of it. But you know, here's the thing 662 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: about him. With three guys with cap figures over ten 663 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: million dollars next year on the defensive line, right, Calias 664 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: and Malik are both over fifteen million, and Marcel Darius 665 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: is near eleven million. Tavin Brian was a crucial draft 666 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: pick and I know people said, why didn't take a quarterback? 667 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: Why didn't they take a tight end there instead of 668 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: Taven Brian. But next year, if Brian's coming on, that's 669 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: a really good sign for this franchise because they're going 670 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: to have to make some moves up front. Right. He 671 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: he has to start next year and has gonna be good. Defensively, 672 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: he has to be good. He's showing the first signs 673 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks that he might be and 674 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: he's been successful inside as opposed to outside. He was 675 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: playing the three technique against the Steelers and against the 676 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: the Bills last week. And that's important because Malik has 677 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: a fifteen million dollar cab figure and they need a 678 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: three technique if Malik doesn't come back, Yeah, it's important 679 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: because my lea, it's not gonna be back. So there 680 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: you go, you gotta have him. Okay. Final big thing 681 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: team to beat the Indianapolis Colts five game winning streak. 682 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: We saw that they beat up on this Jaguars defense 683 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. They're coming in hot, they're coming 684 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: in with something to play for. We talked to Caroline Canna, 685 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: team reporter yesterday, and she said, this team is looking 686 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: straight to the playoffs. Well, and here's the interesting thing. 687 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: They don't necessarily look like the team to beat this year, 688 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: but they look like the team to beat again for 689 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. The quarterbacks back, they've built an offensive 690 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: line that will protect him, and they've got a ton 691 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: of cap room to to bolster their roster. They look like, 692 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're the class of the a 693 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: f C South in twenty team. They look like the 694 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: team to beat in terms of that wild card spot 695 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: at the end they're six and five. The Ravens are 696 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: six and five. Um, you feel better about the Colts 697 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: quarterback situation there because you've seen Luck do it and 698 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson looks like he's getting it together, but he's 699 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: a rookie's played two games. If you're gonna trust the guy, 700 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: you're gonna trust Luck in that scenario. Um, yeah, I 701 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: think they're gonna make the playoffs. And I think they are. 702 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: It's hard to say they're the team to beat over 703 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: the Texans because the Texans seemed to have a more 704 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: balanced roster right now, but in the future, it's hard 705 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: to ar against the Colts right now, absolutely all right. 706 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: So there are are big things and we'll turn our 707 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: attention to what's up next. Pick one and pick it. 708 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: So let's look at the games and then we'll do 709 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: He will, he won't, he might. John will start with you. 710 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: And you've got a good one. The Chargers and the 711 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: Steelers good. And I picked this one kind of early. 712 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: I got it in early to kind of you guys. 713 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: This is is this in Los Angeles? No, it's the 714 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: Charges at the Steelers. And there's two members of the 715 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: quarterback class of two thousand and four This is tough 716 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: because the Steelers all of a sudden look a little vulnerable. 717 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: Lost last week, should have lost here. Uh you wonder 718 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: if maybe the Laby unbuilt things catching up a little bit. 719 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: James Conner. I think it's fumbled the last couple of games, 720 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: as that's some issues there. I don't know enough about 721 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: the Steelers to know that. Um, if it was in 722 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: l A, you think the Charges are definitely hot enough 723 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: to get it. It feels like a game that when 724 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: you start doubting the Steelers this time of year, they 725 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: come back and they get you. So I'm gonna go 726 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: with the Steelers, but I think this Chargers team may 727 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: wind up go to the Super Bowl. I Um, I'm 728 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: not sold on the Steelers because of their performance here. Um, 729 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: the Jack was able to take James Connor out of 730 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: the game, they hadn't played particularly good defense, and yet 731 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: they were able to turn it on. And now, of 732 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: course they gave it up in the fourth quarters. So 733 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: you've got to give Ben Roethlisberger's credit. Uh. The loss 734 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 1: of Melvin Gordon to the m c L injury could 735 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: be a problem for the Chargers because the other day, 736 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: when Philip Rivers completed passes twenty five in a row. 737 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: Melvin had a big day, and their balanced their play 738 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: action pass kept everything you know, off balance for them. Um, 739 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: I like, I really think the Chargers are playing great 740 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: football and both is back for that defense. I'm with you. 741 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Chargers, though. I agree Chargers are 742 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: rolling and you watch go back to the Patriots game 743 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, and we've seen how these Jaguars have 744 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: not played well the past few weeks, and they almost 745 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: had them. I don't think that was a good look 746 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: for the Steelers at all. All Right, you're next. I'm 747 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: next New England in Minnesota. Both teams on a roll 748 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: after starting off a little bit shaky at the beginning 749 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 1: of the season. Of course, the storyline here is the quarterbacks, 750 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and Tom Brady. Vikings. Defense has shown up lately, 751 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: going with back to the Packers game and beating up 752 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers. But I think this is the time 753 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: when New England Patriots pull away in the season. This 754 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: is the week where it starts going up north for 755 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots. See and I I'm going to go with 756 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: the Vikings here. In back to back weeks, they have 757 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: the chance to beat Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, and 758 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 1: they're playing very well on that side of the ball 759 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: right now. Um Cousins has been quiet. The eight four 760 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,720 Speaker 1: million dollar man has not had one of those wowser games, 761 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: the kind that we have seen from quarterbacks like Drew 762 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: Brees and Pat Mahomes. But they've got enough going on 763 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: that side of the bowl. Feeling has been consistent to 764 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: all year. Stefon Diggs made some plays last week. I'm 765 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna go with the Vikings. Um, i just think that 766 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna make a little run here after stumbling around 767 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: most of the season. That would Yeah, Cousins may have 768 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: had his best game last week. I thought I actually 769 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: played pretty well in the part out. Um. It's a 770 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: big game for the Patriots because when they're good and 771 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: when they're going places, which has been the last fifteen years, 772 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 1: but when they're good, they win this game. H It 773 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: seems like they're getting there, but you don't trust them 774 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: quite as much as you have the last few years. 775 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Patriots because I'm gonna go 776 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: with them until they're not there. But this could be 777 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: one of those turning point games that they look back 778 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: on and say, okay, they they lost this one. This 779 00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: is when we saw it coming. The Vikings have the 780 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: say ds to play with Gronkowski. Uh, if you can 781 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: take Gronkowski away, and I know it, with Edelman back, 782 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: it's a different dynamic. But if you can take Gronkowski 783 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: out of the game, you stand a greater chance of 784 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: beating them. And I think that that's what the Vikings 785 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: can do. I chose the Broncos at the Bengals for 786 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: two reasons. Number one, there aren't that many great games. 787 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: This week's bad Weekum, but this one's interesting to me 788 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: because the Broncos after really looking like you know, they 789 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: spent twenty two million a year on case Keenum. Uh. 790 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: That defense, it seemed I was getting wasted, um the 791 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,319 Speaker 1: effort that they would bring every week. But they've really 792 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: come on. The defense is playing great. Von Miller is 793 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: an impact player every play again, and the rookie Philip 794 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: Lindsay is making plays from the running back spot. Um, 795 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: they're charging. They're making a hard charge here at the 796 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 1: end of the year. I think it would be fun 797 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: to watch that game, even though the Bengals are a 798 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,919 Speaker 1: team in disarray. Playing with Jeff Driscoll instead of Andy Dalton. Yeah, 799 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: go Gators, whatever, I'm interested in that game. I'm gonna 800 00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: go with the Broncos to go on the road and 801 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 1: get the win and staying in the chase. Um. I 802 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,760 Speaker 1: agree with you mainly because it feels like the Bengals 803 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 1: are deficient and getting more deficient. That they lost Andy Dalton. 804 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: Earlier in the year, it looked like the Bengals might 805 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: be a surprise team. They had burst and it looked 806 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: like Marvin Lewis are We're get together. You wonder if 807 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: this trail off that they're experiencing might finally be the 808 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: end of Marvin Lewis. And I hate to say finally, 809 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: because Marvin Lewis has been the head coach of the 810 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: Bengals since Jack del Rio started here. They were hired 811 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: the same year. Yeah, he was oh three, right, Yeah, 812 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: I mean they were both hired at the same time. 813 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: Jack is long gone and he's still in Cincinnati. Yeah, 814 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: and and you got to playoff win. But I think 815 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: if you consider where they were before he got there, 816 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: they are a franchise that has had a chance in 817 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: seasons far more often than before he got there. But 818 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: it it just sort of feels like this slump at 819 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: the end of the season, maybe the end. Uh, and 820 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: without Andy Dalton feels like they're going the wrong direction. 821 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: It seems like the slump will continue. And I remember 822 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago we were talking about the Bengals, 823 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: you know, if they were exciting and they had a 824 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: chance to get into the wild card, and it's just 825 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: seemed gone straight down. All right, how about a quick guy? 826 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: He will he won't, he might, And then we'll take 827 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: a break and go to famtasy football. John will start 828 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: with you you have Carlos hide cross I Uh, he 829 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 1: will start and uh because Leonard four nett Uh, he won't. 830 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll get a hundred yards because I 831 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 1: don't think they'll be able to reach it. They haven't 832 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: reached it with an individual back yet. Um. I think 833 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: he'll get close to it. I think he'll play better 834 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: than what perhaps people think, because although they will throw 835 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: more than they have because of I guess the mandate 836 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: or because of the coaching change this week, they still 837 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: need to run effectively to be able to get to 838 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: the past. Uh. He might be the reason that they 839 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: have some ballots this week. I think he's going to have. 840 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: He didn't play particularly wells first two games where he 841 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: didn't get out of productions first two games. He has 842 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: been better the last two or three games, and I 843 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: think he's got a chance to have an impact this week. 844 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: I had the obvious Cody Kessler he will he won't 845 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: he mind. I think he will take advantage of the opportunity. 846 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: We've seen throughout training kimp that he throws a pretty 847 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: good ball. We always said it's been better than boardles ball. 848 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,720 Speaker 1: I think they're going to pass more with Cody Kessler 849 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: mentes to see though, how he escapes the rush with 850 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line, especially being injured. I don't think he 851 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: won't ball out. He won't have a huge game, and 852 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't think they're expecting him to, and they're not 853 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: asking him to. They're not asking him to be the hero. 854 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: He just can't turn the ball over, can't make huge 855 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 1: mistakes and just control the game. He might have two 856 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: touchdown passes this week. Okay, I went with Scott Milanovitch, 857 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator. Uh, he will look different than 858 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: Nate Hackett, not in terms of the personnel that he's 859 00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: got on the field, because that's going to be exactly 860 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: the same, that's not quite as good. But what he 861 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: will be able to do is perhaps change the mix, 862 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: change the run on first down, throw the ball more. 863 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: We'll see something different because we have to because what 864 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 1: we have seen has not worked. He's got great experience 865 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: from his years as the head coach in Toronto in 866 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: the Canadian Toronto Yeah, the argonautm um in the Canadian 867 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,879 Speaker 1: Football League. Listening to him yesterday and it was clear 868 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 1: that he knew what he wanted to do. He wasn't 869 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: gonna share it. He wasn't gonna give the Colts any tips. 870 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: But every coach who sits on his staff has ideas 871 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: about how they would do it. Um, you're never gonna 872 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: come out and say it because they don't want to 873 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,959 Speaker 1: undercut their coordinator. But you can bet he's been sitting 874 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 1: there watching, and as the quarterbacks coach, he has a 875 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,799 Speaker 1: unique insight. So there are plays that he has wanted 876 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 1: to call that Nate didn't feel comfortable calling. Um, it's 877 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: easier to be the backseat quarterback in that situation. Now 878 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: he's the man, and I think we'll go ahead and 879 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 1: call it. Don't everything to lose. You're not in the 880 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 1: race anymore, so I think we will see something different. 881 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 1: How do I say this? He won't. He's not gonna 882 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: score thirty points. He's not gonna look like the New 883 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints in one week or Kansas City because you 884 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: don't have the weapons. Right. Um. He might though, have 885 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: a football team that is energized to do something different. Uh, 886 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: they'll overcome the absence of Fornat, the absence of Austin 887 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: Seferian Jenkins and all those offensive linemen. Uh, and they 888 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 1: might get to twenty points. Yeah, it's interesting, Brian, we 889 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: I did a bad job of getting to the point 890 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: that you were getting to. Um, it's a tricky spot 891 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: that he's in because there is this idea that he 892 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: has to improve the passing game, and yet he has 893 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: an offensive line that's really beat up. How does he 894 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: get Carlos Hied involved with that to give him enough 895 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: time to pass? At the same time, you need to 896 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 1: improve the passing games, that's what's expected. So it's a 897 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: personnel makes a tricky Yeah, and when you're this down, 898 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 1: I I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. 899 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: Listening to him yesterday, Yeah, he's got a plan. Yeah, 900 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: he's got he's got something and he's been in he's 901 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,919 Speaker 1: been here since the beginning of last season. He knows 902 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: what he's got. And again, you sit in a meeting 903 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,359 Speaker 1: with whoever it is that you're working with, and somebody 904 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 1: gets to make the decision. If it's not you, you're 905 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: thinking I would do this right, it happens. So we'll 906 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: see what he's gonna do. On Sunday. We'll take a break. 907 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: Mike Dempsey joins this for a quick look at fantasy football. 908 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: John had a good week two weeks ago. See it 909 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: back after this. On the road, there's a thin line 910 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: between safety and tragedy. Don't cross it. Give law enforcement, 911 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: first responders, and service professionals the space to safely do 912 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: their jobs. When you see flashing lights, move over a 913 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: lane or slow down twenty miles per hour below the 914 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: posted speed limit.

Because you're on five. Great Mike, 938 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: take this thing over. He ah, he will, he won 939 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 1: he might? Is Dante Moncrief today, Okay, he will, Like 940 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 1: every player who goes against the former team, be motivated 941 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 1: to give a good performance, which he did last time 942 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 1: they played. And uh, he won't be overlooked by the 943 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: cold soul. Remember the eight yard touchdown that he scored. 944 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: He cut three balls for ninety eight yards in that game. 945 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: And he might be the favorite target of Cody Kessler 946 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,439 Speaker 1: this week. And you go back and look at that game. 947 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: I know Cody threw at thirty times, but six of 948 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 1: those went to Dante Moncrieff in the second half. He 949 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 1: led the team with ten targets against the Colts, by far, 950 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: the most of anybody on the team. So there you go, 951 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: Donte Moncrief, he won't, he won't, he might. Here we go, 952 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 1: here we go. Oh, we had a big issue Brian Sexton. 953 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: The rules clearly state you may use each player once 954 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: all year. Now we keep a spreadsheet and we keep 955 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: track of it. And Brian, uh took Melvin Gordon for 956 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,399 Speaker 1: consecutive weeks. It sounded good at the time. I think 957 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 1: it was consecutive. Actually, yeah, it was wet. He did 958 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 1: well both times. But Brian lost out on twenty points 959 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 1: that he would have had otherwise. Overall, let's see what 960 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,359 Speaker 1: we've got here. We've got I'm in first, but John 961 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 1: has been coming on. He had the big week with 962 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: ninety seven points last week. He's at six thirty three. 963 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: Ashlyn uh Ashlan took advantage of Brian's Melvin Gordon mishap 964 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,760 Speaker 1: and moved into third place at fifty nine and Brian 965 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 1: at forty one. As you can see, has earned the 966 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: top pick this week. And I don't. I didn't look 967 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: to see who had used um uh, so I'll go 968 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: with um DeShawn Watson Shaun Watson, Okay, go, I have 969 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: not used him for folks. We haven't done this, so 970 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 1: we don't do this every single week. And we take 971 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback, running back, wide receiver in tight end and 972 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: you can only use each player once all year. So Ashlyn, 973 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: you are next. I'm gonna go Cam Newton. Cam is 974 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 1: a great quarterback play this week. I believe John. I'm 975 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: going with Kittle versus Seattle. Ah. Yes, everyone's gonna use 976 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,800 Speaker 1: him eventually. He's top five Fantasy tight end. To be sure, 977 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go tight end as well. I'm gonna go 978 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: Cameron Braid for the Buccaneers. The Carolina Panthers actually give 979 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 1: up the most fantasy points to tight ends.
