Speaker 1: Five years of Jaguar's football. He's looking for touchdowns. It
Speaker 1: is Wednesday, September. This is Jaguars Happy Hour, Jack Wars
Speaker 1: Happy Hours presented by the Fields Auto Group and now
Speaker 1: President and CEO of the Peter McNicol Fan Club, Jane Pace.
Speaker 1: I still am not totally sure who that is. This
Speaker 1: is from a previous taped show today that our folks
Speaker 1: in the UK will enjoy a little later in the week.
Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour, presented by the Fields Auto Group,
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick, John Osier, Senior writer. Joe's intros are always
Speaker 1: pretty good because I guess when he had eight hours
Speaker 1: to stand on. I don't know what else he does
Speaker 1: all day. To be quite honest with you, Angel don't
Speaker 1: work for for two seconds some days. Some days it
Speaker 1: is um. We've got a lot to get to today.
Speaker 1: Here's what's coming up on the program. Jalen Ramsey talk.
Speaker 1: He did not practice today. Is back injury issue? And
Speaker 1: when was it determined? Kind of the last hour or
Speaker 1: so has been some scuttle bud on Twitter, if you will.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that coming up. It's on to Denver though.
Speaker 1: The Broncos are next zero and three. The defense got
Speaker 1: home last week. Can they continue to keep that pace?
Speaker 1: Minshew Mania is still on fire. Some running a game
Speaker 1: adjustments on the offensive line, and as always, wide receiver
Speaker 1: Chris Conley joins us Andrew wingered safety. Special teams are
Speaker 1: special team or teams are team special teams? Player, we'll
Speaker 1: join us, and of course Jim Lock, head equipment manager,
Speaker 1: will w U build the uniforms. So a lot to
Speaker 1: get to today. Let's start off with all this Ramsey business.
Speaker 1: He did not practice on Monday on a walkthrough with
Speaker 1: an illness. The players off day was Tuesday, and he
Speaker 1: did not practice today. He's on the injury list, at
Speaker 1: least pre practice injury list as not practicing today, he
Speaker 1: was not out there with a back issue. And then
Speaker 1: the last hour or so the questions of when that
Speaker 1: injury issue was reported, Well then Dug Maron didn't have
Speaker 1: much of an answer for that in his press conference today.
Speaker 1: But now some national media types have talked to Ramsey's
Speaker 1: agent apparently, and they claim it was during the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter of the game on Thursday night. What do you
Speaker 1: make of all this? Now? Does it all matter? Does
Speaker 1: any of it? Does anybody really know what time it is.
Speaker 1: It's at this point, I it feels like the story
Speaker 1: is going to evolve, change, be different day to day
Speaker 1: on everything. And I guess the bottom line is, you know,
Speaker 1: on Monday, I do know and for from good people,
Speaker 1: the sickness was real. I don't doubt that there's a
Speaker 1: back injury. Um, it's just you know, on on drivetime,
Speaker 1: right after the the sickness was reported, Brian Sexton and
Speaker 1: I both sort of, you know, reacted with skepticism and
Speaker 1: later got some emails saying, oh, you know that was rude, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's sort of a little uh boy,
Speaker 1: you cried wolf a little bit and that's not exactly accurate.
Speaker 1: But when there's so much going on around you and
Speaker 1: you make the trade requests and then behave on the field,
Speaker 1: behave off the field, the story is coming out all different.
Speaker 1: There's going to be Skepticis is him now with whatever
Speaker 1: is said and whatever is done? And is it right?
Speaker 1: Is it wrong for us to be skeptical for fantasy skeptical?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the reality of it right
Speaker 1: now that it's it's such a confused, meandering storyline, is
Speaker 1: such a weird storyline that and there's not going to
Speaker 1: be facts involved, so you've got to speculate on what
Speaker 1: you hear, and it's a it's confusing meandering all those things.
Speaker 1: I think the bottom line is, I don't think Jalen
Speaker 1: is going to change his stance on wanting to be trade.
Speaker 1: I don't get that feeling that's going to change. I
Speaker 1: don't get the idea that the Jaguars are planning to
Speaker 1: change their walk toward Hey, you're a player on our team.
Speaker 1: You have tears remaining on your contract, and players under
Speaker 1: contracts in this league play You're not gonna be necessarily happy.
Speaker 1: But you know what, a lot of people aren't happy.
Speaker 1: That's right. I mean a lot of walks of life.
Speaker 1: But you still go to your job and you do it.
Speaker 1: And he's making light of his feelings on it. But
Speaker 1: the reality is the team has a job to do
Speaker 1: in preparing for a game and putting their team on
Speaker 1: the field. Jalen is under contract, and I don't there's
Speaker 1: sort of a good faith in the NFL that if
Speaker 1: you're under contract, you're going to play the best of
Speaker 1: your ability. I think that's what they're counting on, and
Speaker 1: I think he will because he's a pro and he's
Speaker 1: a great player who wants to be He loves football
Speaker 1: and wants to play for all that stuff comes off
Speaker 1: of that track. I guess that's the track that I'm
Speaker 1: assuming it'll follow, And to give Jalen the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt on it, I think he'll follow that track.
Speaker 1: I think his back probably hurts enough for not to play.
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't play on Sunday and it comes
Speaker 1: out that it was anything other than a back ben,
Speaker 1: shame on him, well, then then that's a totally different
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be shame on him. You know,
Speaker 1: there was the tweet earlier today from Adam Schefter saying
Speaker 1: that basically it was he felt like it was a
Speaker 1: long shot of the plays this week paraphrase. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that that's what it would be, that his back is
Speaker 1: so hurt that he can't play. But the gist of
Speaker 1: the tweet was basically is because of the standoff between
Speaker 1: the team and that's him, which is that's a shame.
Speaker 1: But I don't see him just missing a football game
Speaker 1: over this of a squabble with the front office, because
Speaker 1: he's never missed a football game. Why would he miss
Speaker 1: a football game, if he's not hurt, well, if that's
Speaker 1: what it is, you know, maybe I'm just naive guy,
Speaker 1: j That's fine, but I think he plays enough to
Speaker 1: play place. And then if he and then if he
Speaker 1: doesn't and it's because of the standoff, then you deactivate
Speaker 1: him til he's ready to play. Then that's then we're
Speaker 1: going down the path we haven't been down yet, best
Speaker 1: And you know, I think there's a school of thought
Speaker 1: that you as you deactivate him stil he's ready to play,
Speaker 1: you continue doing that. And if it turns into one week,
Speaker 1: two weeks, end of season next year, all right, let's
Speaker 1: move forward this jail Ramsey stuff today and that will
Speaker 1: be right. But tomorrow is a different day. Let's see
Speaker 1: what happens, you know, twenty four hours from now. Let's
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, Jaguars quarterback spoke today. Always an interesting conversation
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars quarterback now who came in of course
Speaker 1: in Week one and relief of Nick Foles. And he's
Speaker 1: been the starting quarterback the last two weeks. And we'll
Speaker 1: be now for the foreseeable future, at least the next
Speaker 1: month and a half or so. For the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 1: You see his numbers there and what he did last
Speaker 1: week and that win on Thursday Night football. He was
Speaker 1: already kind of taking over things in this city before
Speaker 1: last week on Thursday Night Football. Now it's started. The
Speaker 1: snowball of Minshew mania has continued since then. You know. Now,
Speaker 1: just hearing from him today, none of this stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't think he really phases him. I think he gets
Speaker 1: a kick out of it. I think he loves the
Speaker 1: fact that his dad gets interviewed now and does stuff nationally,
Speaker 1: and you know, people know his story and what it
Speaker 1: took to get to this point. I think he could
Speaker 1: gets a kick out of all of it. But it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Don't let it distract from football now. This guy is
Speaker 1: locked into what he has to do on a day
Speaker 1: to day basis in this building. I'm not inside Gardner's head. Um,
Speaker 1: it's got to be what a scene, Um, But my
Speaker 1: impression and the way you approaches things, and this is
Speaker 1: just from sort of watching it from your ten ft
Speaker 1: away in the press conference. Isn't watching it as people do.
Speaker 1: Is he understand that this mania thing is out there? Uh?
Speaker 1: He today? He answered, you were there forty seconds worth
Speaker 1: the questions on Minshi mania right in the press conference.
Speaker 1: Um My guess is from the time he landed from
Speaker 1: his trip back from Pullman until the end of the
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, that that thirty five or forty seconds
Speaker 1: is about what he'll think about Minshi mania. He says it,
Speaker 1: and he's a fun guy, So everybody else will talk
Speaker 1: about it. They'll be clips, they'll be Sports Center, they'll
Speaker 1: be the mustache stuff our our marketing people will be mustache,
Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff. And that's all great. But
Speaker 1: once you know, I'm pointing to the hallway was where
Speaker 1: football begins around here. Once he's in there, I think
Speaker 1: the forty five seconds that he talked about it, answered
Speaker 1: a couple of funny questions are about as much thought
Speaker 1: as he gives it. And I think that's the way.
Speaker 1: Remember this is not new to him. This is not
Speaker 1: a he was this guy in Washington h all of
Speaker 1: last year, Washington State all of last year. Uh So
Speaker 1: to him, this is just something that's risen up again.
Speaker 1: What's striking JP, what's the most fascinating I've ever been
Speaker 1: around in twenty five years doing this. It's almost like
Speaker 1: there are parallel universes with the Jaguars. Right now, there's
Speaker 1: the weirdness that is Jalen Ramsey. And when I say weird,
Speaker 1: I mean he's weird, but that that story is bizarre, sure,
Speaker 1: and it's blown up, and that's blowing up, and it's this,
Speaker 1: it's this boy. Things are just a mess. Like nationally
Speaker 1: they think this is overwhelming the building. I don't feel
Speaker 1: like that's willing. Were willing to building all the jail
Speaker 1: Ramsey story. It's over willing the media covering it, But
Speaker 1: inside the building it's okay. Jalen is he He's always
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a side show. Now it's
Speaker 1: just a little bit of a different level side show.
Speaker 1: But that's over here. And then there's the weirdness they
Speaker 1: this Gardner Minshew never the Twain shall meet. And I
Speaker 1: don't think either of them are actually affecting what's going
Speaker 1: on in the field that much, which is that for
Speaker 1: the last seven quarters this team has played as well
Speaker 1: as it's played in the year. That's a fascinating it's
Speaker 1: a fascinating thing. What gets lost in all of it
Speaker 1: is that the team's playing well and I feel like
Speaker 1: they have a chance to win the next couple of games.
Speaker 1: And really get back into this thing. I think the
Speaker 1: team feels like it's playing well and these other two
Speaker 1: things are just things that people are talking about because
Speaker 1: it's fine to talk about and that kind of thing. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: I mean, what if that, what if those outside noise
Speaker 1: things are what brings this team together inside? I mean
Speaker 1: because maybe ever since those things have happened, well, guess what,
Speaker 1: like you said, they've played really good football. They can
Speaker 1: keep that up some element among the players, especially on defense,
Speaker 1: of Hey, Jalen is going to do his thing, and
Speaker 1: that's fine, we love him, We want him on the
Speaker 1: field because he's great. But no matter what happens, we're good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we still have to go out there and play the
Speaker 1: rest of us. And this defense for the past seven course,
Speaker 1: a lot of it because of Jalen, but as much
Speaker 1: of it because of the past rest. The other night
Speaker 1: is playing at a level that matches for the last
Speaker 1: two games anything they've done in the last what at
Speaker 1: three or four years, and they've been really good. And
Speaker 1: I don't really think that they're affected by the whole
Speaker 1: Ramsey thing, except for the fact that when he's on
Speaker 1: the field, boy is he a lockdown corner at that
Speaker 1: one spot. But I feel like they think they're pretty good,
Speaker 1: maybe great with them and near great no matter what.
Speaker 1: They have other good players back there too. Obviously not
Speaker 1: at that level. I'm not saying there at the level,
Speaker 1: but they have a whole there. Their defensive front as
Speaker 1: a whole. As good as Jayalen is, the defensive front
Speaker 1: in the line rotation is still the most important thing
Speaker 1: about this team, regardless of how good Jayn is, because
Speaker 1: it helps that back in. I think whoever's back there,
Speaker 1: so if the defensive pass rush plays like it did
Speaker 1: the other night, it doesn't matter who's playing back there.
Speaker 1: Let's move on on offense now a bit here, And
Speaker 1: you know, the running game has been a big topic
Speaker 1: this week. How do you fix the running game? Well,
Speaker 1: Doug Marone earlier in the week said, it's really you know,
Speaker 1: it's not a lot with having to do with Leonard.
Speaker 1: You know, he's doing what he can, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of time to do certain things when
Speaker 1: defenders are in the backfield. And he had negative yard
Speaker 1: is before the long run of sixty nine yards late
Speaker 1: in the game last week on Thursday Night Football finished
Speaker 1: with the sixties six yards totally in that game, But
Speaker 1: when he's getting hit behind the line or at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, it's hard to get any moment at them.
Speaker 1: But that starts up front on that offensive line. They've
Speaker 1: got to figure it out in the running game. They've
Speaker 1: been good in pass protection. They're given Gardener time and
Speaker 1: all that, but to really make this thing sing over
Speaker 1: the next month or two, they've got to have a
Speaker 1: balance there. Gardener has got to have a run game
Speaker 1: to support him, to open up that defense a little bit,
Speaker 1: and vice versa. They get the run game going, they've
Speaker 1: gotta continue to pass it. But it really it starts
Speaker 1: up front with that group, and they've they've had some
Speaker 1: guys coming and go in the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: there he's he's missed the hold. Yeah, and he is
Speaker 1: not or has not shown to be the sort of
Speaker 1: miss ability type back that you would love. But when
Speaker 1: you're negative three fourteen carries that ain't on the back
Speaker 1: negative three for fourteen carries means you're getting hit in
Speaker 1: the backfield before you have a chance to get started
Speaker 1: more often than not. So is it all the offensive line, No,
Speaker 1: But when you have that kind of stat things are
Speaker 1: getting blown up. I keep on getting these letters or
Speaker 1: these emails, Why don't they try another back? Um, because
Speaker 1: is not doing anything wrong. What I'm not sure Armstad
Speaker 1: is gonna make a guy missed when he takes the
Speaker 1: ball and literally is behind the line. So uh, I
Speaker 1: don't doubt the other two backs are gonna play at
Speaker 1: some point and they're gonna play key roles. But this
Speaker 1: was there playing all along to have him play these downs.
Speaker 1: But and because they believe that him in the game,
Speaker 1: because he's turning into a very good third down back.
Speaker 1: The looks they can give when you put another back in,
Speaker 1: the looks that back tips off what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: And I don't think there is good in the passing
Speaker 1: game or or in past protection. As fre Nett is
Speaker 1: with Leonard. It's much the same concept why teams often
Speaker 1: go too tight ends. You're hard to read what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do. When Leonard's in, they can do anything in
Speaker 1: their offense they want to do and their balance. There's
Speaker 1: no key, there's no tip off based him being in
Speaker 1: the game. Um. So I just think there is a
Speaker 1: school of thought when they look at, Okay, who were
Speaker 1: going to play in there? Who's our best guy? Well,
Speaker 1: are we going to get something more from putting somebody
Speaker 1: else in right now? No, at what point? Though? The
Speaker 1: question for me is is this many reps for for
Speaker 1: Net a bad thing for for Net? Can he handle
Speaker 1: this kind of workload and how long can he handle it?
Speaker 1: Because I don't think he's ever had this kind of workload. No,
Speaker 1: but he's not getting an incredible number of touches yet.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like he's up around touches. He
Speaker 1: had what fifteen or sixteen the other night, So he's
Speaker 1: on the field a lot. He's not running thirty yards
Speaker 1: each time. Fair question. I would expect it to wayne
Speaker 1: a little bit as time goes, because it felt like
Speaker 1: in the game he took some shots the other night,
Speaker 1: like in the passing game he took a couple of
Speaker 1: hits and was I don't know, it wasn't dinged up.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go there, but you could just
Speaker 1: tell there's a little frustration towards the end of that game.
Speaker 1: I think if I don't know if it had to
Speaker 1: do we haven't had a chance to talk to him
Speaker 1: this week yet, who it had to do with. If
Speaker 1: you're getting hit to yours on my scument, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get frustrated to that's right. I mean he gets a
Speaker 1: little bit of it, but maybe I mean on the
Speaker 1: long run, you never see him get run down on
Speaker 1: a run like that, you know, And that had to
Speaker 1: be from from just a little exhaust to his credit, uh,
Speaker 1: I think this deserves to be said about him. It
Speaker 1: bubbled during his rookie year. It really blew up last year.
Speaker 1: All the criticism of how this guy was off the field,
Speaker 1: his approach, all that stuff got called into question, his
Speaker 1: dealings with the media, et cetera. All it was either
Speaker 1: an underlying or fight out out there. With the statement
Speaker 1: from Coughing at the end of last season, Um, whatever
Speaker 1: the motivation and how long it lasts, he can't have
Speaker 1: approached things better this year. He has been professionally, has
Speaker 1: been a stand up guy, even beyond the dealings with us.
Speaker 1: Everything you hear is that we couldn't have asked for
Speaker 1: a bit or approach in terms of how he's approaching
Speaker 1: things mentally as he is right now. There was no
Speaker 1: frustration after the game the other night. He didn't come
Speaker 1: out and say, hey, if my line had blocked better,
Speaker 1: we'd have done this. You don't get that from this guy.
Speaker 1: So Uh. As much as he's been criticized for these
Speaker 1: sort of things in the past, I think he deserves
Speaker 1: credit for how he's approached things this year. It's been good.
Speaker 1: So it really has. And he stands there and answers
Speaker 1: the questions as dumb as they may be, right, but
Speaker 1: he stands there and answers him the best that he
Speaker 1: can far with to his credit, some guys come out
Speaker 1: and do that, and it's clear, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be here. There's really been no eye roll. There's really
Speaker 1: been and there was some of that in the past.
Speaker 1: Like when you're talking to him, he's he's on his
Speaker 1: best behavior and I have no reason to think that
Speaker 1: that won't continue. And your credit to him, because that's
Speaker 1: probably wasn't a thing in the world for him today.
Speaker 1: But when he's in that mode, which he is now,
Speaker 1: he's a pretty engaging guy. If you sit there and
Speaker 1: talk to him, he's one of the I mean next
Speaker 1: to Minshew, who's like might have a career in stand
Speaker 1: up comedy. Uh, He's an engaging is and is as
Speaker 1: good interview as there is in the locker room when
Speaker 1: he wants to. Let's come back. We'll touch on the
Speaker 1: Broncos what their issues may be. Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we'll figure them out, but we'll touch on some
Speaker 1: of the stars on that football team that don't have
Speaker 1: any sacks yet too. This is the defensive stars, it
Speaker 1: really is. We'll get to that and we'll take your
Speaker 1: social media questions that were asked a little bit earlier.

Speaker 1: John Osher glad you with us coming up later. Chris
Speaker 1: Connelly Andrew wingered Jack's safety. Oh Jimmy luck to head
Speaker 1: equipment manager will join us about gosh ten twelve minutes
Speaker 1: or so, give or take. If he's on cough on
Speaker 1: time or not, he'll unveil the uniforms. Stickler for punch.
Speaker 1: He is, in fact, and we'll get those uniforms unveiled. UM.
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos are oh and three the quarterback situation.
Speaker 1: They traded for Flacco. He's the guy there and they
Speaker 1: like lock but he's hurt right now, the young guy UM.
Speaker 1: And their defense has kind of been their strength over
Speaker 1: the last few years, obviously back to the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: run a few years ago when they had that run
Speaker 1: before Malie Millie Jackson, the Super Bowl run and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, and Von Miller has been there. Some of
Speaker 1: those guys are still there, but they're not, you know,
Speaker 1: putting up the statistics they I think expect year over year.
Speaker 1: In Denver, they don't have any sacks as a defense.
Speaker 1: With Chubb and Miller on the defensive side. It seems
Speaker 1: they were a team that realistically knew this was going
Speaker 1: to be something of the transition year. It's why you
Speaker 1: bring somebody like Flacco in you draft who you hope
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback, and you hope that by the
Speaker 1: end of this year, you've shown improvement and you feel
Speaker 1: like you're going a positive direction with possibly the new
Speaker 1: quarterback um. Their plan from Afar seems to be, uh,
Speaker 1: we have a really good defense that can create things
Speaker 1: when some close games or early stay in it and
Speaker 1: feel like you're gonna get going when you're intransicing. That's
Speaker 1: what you hope to do. The plan sort of worked
Speaker 1: in the sense that they had the Chicago game in
Speaker 1: week to one and let us slip through their fingers.
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that it sounds like hasn't
Speaker 1: gone to plan with them. When that's your and you
Speaker 1: have this kind of a defense, you don't expect your
Speaker 1: numbers to be zero takeaways and zero sacks. If those
Speaker 1: numbers were more what they expected, it feels like their
Speaker 1: season would have gone a little more as we would
Speaker 1: expective when you're counting on this thing that you have
Speaker 1: elite players doing and get nothing out of it. By
Speaker 1: the same token, the old formula we talked about with
Speaker 1: this team all the time, their offense hasn't played well
Speaker 1: enough to get them leads, so they have not been
Speaker 1: in a lot of situations for sax and turnovers to happen,
Speaker 1: much as was the storyline around this team last year
Speaker 1: that we that gets overlooked because people want to blame
Speaker 1: the defense for that. It sounds like the defense is
Speaker 1: still playing well enough to get those things not in
Speaker 1: a position to It's why JP I think the huge
Speaker 1: key for the jag Wars. It's always good to get
Speaker 1: up early because guess what, JP, it's better to lead
Speaker 1: than trail um. But against this sort of a team
Speaker 1: on the road, you do not want to have this
Speaker 1: team get some confidence to get ahead of you, be
Speaker 1: able to start rush the asser that gets them into
Speaker 1: what they do well. I think you'd rather have zero
Speaker 1: zero for a while than get in a hole. You
Speaker 1: would take a stalemate for a while, right, then get
Speaker 1: in a hole against this team. Yeah, you get those
Speaker 1: past rushers formed up and going and pinning their ears
Speaker 1: and get him excited and all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 1: oftentimes when you are struggling in an area, especially with
Speaker 1: saxon turnovers, you don't get him for a while. Then
Speaker 1: they come in bunches. So let him get none and
Speaker 1: keep that number of zero. We'll talk to Jowan Taylor
Speaker 1: to the in the locker room rookie tackle. He knows.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a not a fun match up,
Speaker 1: but it is a matchup that this is why you're
Speaker 1: in the NFL. H Blond. Miller's on the other side
Speaker 1: of the football. Yeah, it's it's it's fun until it starts,
Speaker 1: that's right. It stays fun. Yeah, sixty minutes of fun.
Speaker 1: It sounds fine because it could be fifty eight minutes
Speaker 1: of fun and then the last drive when you need
Speaker 1: to all of a sudden, here's fine Mill. We saw
Speaker 1: it here a few years ago. Yeah, he can, you know,
Speaker 1: in a moment's notice, he can be there. As Doug said,
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to smoke about this. Uh. They have
Speaker 1: two pass rushers, and there's only you handful of in
Speaker 1: the NFL. They have a couple that can end games
Speaker 1: and can and can dominate games. You always have one
Speaker 1: in Calais. These guys that went in von Miller offensively,
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of weird seeing Joe Flacco in another
Speaker 1: uniform besides purple in Baltimore. Well, and I think there's
Speaker 1: the expected struggles of a new quarterback coming in new system.
Speaker 1: He's usually a guy with the Ravens. They knew exactly
Speaker 1: what they wanted to do with him, and when he
Speaker 1: was right, they had a great defense. It took a
Speaker 1: lot of shots deep. He's a very accurate deep ball passer. Um,
Speaker 1: it's tough to just uh incorporate that quickly into an offense.
Speaker 1: Other things have to be going well. They want to
Speaker 1: be able to run, run well and have play accidents
Speaker 1: when he's at his best. Uh, they haven't been able
Speaker 1: to go down field very well. His yards per attempted
Speaker 1: or his yards protempt is very low for him. So
Speaker 1: it just seems like they've had trouble getting the entire
Speaker 1: system into a place where it supports what he wants
Speaker 1: to do. He went to run game. They only have
Speaker 1: a couple of running backs. They lean on their Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman and Philip Lindsay two headed running back room there
Speaker 1: and then we're a little different than here right now.
Speaker 1: Well was a very good job stopping the run against
Speaker 1: Tennessee and it enabled their pass rush to get off.
Speaker 1: They didn't do a great job against that in uh
Speaker 1: in Houston. This needs to be a game where they
Speaker 1: play on the date against Tennessee in order to get
Speaker 1: to Flacko. You got and they were not a great
Speaker 1: defense against run. The first two games were better on
Speaker 1: Sunday or on Thursday against the Titans. Against this team,
Speaker 1: much the same as with their defense. You don't want
Speaker 1: to have these running backs start getting into a rhythm
Speaker 1: early and feel like you can run, because that's what
Speaker 1: they want to do. All right, we have a look
Speaker 1: at the Denver Broncos. Let's get to social media questions.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck coming up in just a few minutes. We'll
Speaker 1: get to the uniform unveiling. Let's go to our social
Speaker 1: questions that we had those earlier today on you know,
Speaker 1: social media, Twitter at John Osier, people like social media
Speaker 1: at J P. Shadrick. People like Twitter, some people do,
Speaker 1: some people don't. It's born that now, right. He had
Speaker 1: a day today on Twitter. By the way, this is
Speaker 1: from cartag Future. Um. Why is Adam Schefter such an
Speaker 1: entitled little child that he continues to push his own
Speaker 1: narrative on the jailor Ramsey situation rather than simply you
Speaker 1: know reports. This is pretty interesting. After some of the
Speaker 1: tweets today the last couple of days, some fans are
Speaker 1: responding to Schefter here, Yeah, I have to admit I
Speaker 1: don't I don't track Adams every move I did. I
Speaker 1: see what he's been tweeting. Made I assume that most
Speaker 1: of what the national guys Adam Ian Rappaport, they speak
Speaker 1: to the agents a lot and speak to team executives
Speaker 1: when they can, and the agents are usually the best
Speaker 1: source of information. So usually the agenda, as it were,
Speaker 1: is what the agent is telling them what's going on.
Speaker 1: So my assumption, until proven otherwise, is that's what's going on.
Speaker 1: When you're a national guy and you're covering all thirty
Speaker 1: two teams, you report, you throw everything out there that
Speaker 1: you hear and let the winds blow. Information isn't may
Speaker 1: So I don't know that he has an agenda necessarily.
Speaker 1: I don't think he cares about the Jackwards one way
Speaker 1: there enough to have an agenda. Um, my guess is
Speaker 1: it's being whatever the agent is pushing is uh, is
Speaker 1: what Adams reporting, And that's usually what reporters, did you
Speaker 1: report actually had something today with Jalen's agent on the record,
Speaker 1: actually mentioned him by name. Today is saying this or
Speaker 1: that or this? Yeah, often in this situation. Yeah, It's
Speaker 1: it's so strange that you get tweets and then you
Speaker 1: get this reporter after this reporter has a tweet, and
Speaker 1: this reporter is is jumping out there and saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: now I need to push the story a little further
Speaker 1: and hund or forty characters. It's a it's a half
Speaker 1: a cent that pushes a little more. Well, I had
Speaker 1: something you didn't. So this Jalen thing is going to
Speaker 1: play it as it plays out, there's going to be
Speaker 1: out of twenty tweets, there's gonna be three that have
Speaker 1: some misinformation in it that tilt the wrong way, and
Speaker 1: then it gets corrected over time. You'll get the idea
Speaker 1: of the story. It's bizarre. It's a bizarre story that
Speaker 1: I get the feeling will go this way once, this
Speaker 1: way the next day, this way the next day, and
Speaker 1: up and down, and it's a It would be a
Speaker 1: different story if there was no social media right back
Speaker 1: in the old days. Yeah, I mean a different dynamic
Speaker 1: and things would calm down a little bit as it were.
Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna be weird. It's gonna be weird,
Speaker 1: and I'll believe that jail And doesn't play when I
Speaker 1: see it. I agree with that. One is the biggest
Speaker 1: thing to keep an eye on. If he doesn't run
Speaker 1: out of that tunnel. That's one. I'll believe it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And and again if he doesn't and he doesn't go
Speaker 1: onto the field and you know, then shame on him.
Speaker 1: But I don't think they'll have or he's hurt or
Speaker 1: is it could be absolutely right, right, But if he's
Speaker 1: not hurt and doesn't run out, then wet and that's
Speaker 1: a different thing altogether. And and that won't help him
Speaker 1: in all this stuff and what he ultimately wants. All right,
Speaker 1: Next question at real Steve Hasson, this is a name
Speaker 1: we haven't heard from in a while. What are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on how the linebackers have been performing without Telvin Smith?
Speaker 1: Imagine that that's in this calendar year two. Everything that's
Speaker 1: going on in this season, we forget that the Telvin
Speaker 1: Smith's out of here anymore? Is there a are there
Speaker 1: a bunch of fake Steve Hasson's out there that I
Speaker 1: guess is that just this is like the Ohio State,
Speaker 1: all these rampant, fraudulent Steve Hanson's out there. Hasson, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: he uh, I ain't. They're fine without Telvin Smith. Linebackers
Speaker 1: are playing fine. Leon Jacobs played perhaps the best game
Speaker 1: of his where the other and it's it's a different position.
Speaker 1: Quincy Williams. He he can run, he can hit, he
Speaker 1: can chase the ball. I said all off season. I
Speaker 1: think Telvin's a good player, made impact plays. But out
Speaker 1: of the many defensive players in this team who are key,
Speaker 1: although he was maybe the six or seventh guy on
Speaker 1: a list of players, they couldn't afford to lose. And
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to criticize Telvin, It's just that
Speaker 1: the defensive line is so important on this team. Jail
Speaker 1: and a j boy, even Miles Key positions weak side linebacker.
Speaker 1: If you can run, hit and chase and listen with
Speaker 1: you middle linebacker, I can tell you you'll be okay.
Speaker 1: And I think Quinzy Woims is fine. Yes, he's been
Speaker 1: very good. Real Steve Hasson, not the fake one, at
Speaker 1: the real one. Next question at Matt Curly Riser Jack
Speaker 1: struggle on the road out west. Why doesn't the team
Speaker 1: travel as far in advanced as possible to better acclimate themselves,
Speaker 1: especially in high altitude locations such as Denver. Surely they
Speaker 1: can find an available practice field. Well, I'll see this.
Speaker 1: You know the Jags are going early to Oakland they're
Speaker 1: going a day and early. They sometimes will do the
Speaker 1: West Coast, you know, because of the time zones. FU. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never heard of going earlier to Denver though. No,
Speaker 1: not tackling a stuff to out. Yeah, I guess it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a terrible idea. Uh. Typically, what teams want
Speaker 1: above all else is to keep their practice preparation routine
Speaker 1: for the players as normal as possible. It's it's why
Speaker 1: they try to leave as close to the tame at
Speaker 1: the same time on Saturday. Uh. When when they went
Speaker 1: to London a few years back, everything was catered to
Speaker 1: try to keep that as normal as like home. Uh.
Speaker 1: So the thought processes, what can we do to have
Speaker 1: our practices be as good as possible in preparation and
Speaker 1: let the other things take care of themselves. So that's
Speaker 1: why you don't do Denver. I've never heard of Denver. Uh,
Speaker 1: And this team really hasn't Uh. I haven't gotten the
Speaker 1: idea that they performed poorly into now. The Far West
Speaker 1: Coast has been a disaster for fifteen years, but Denver
Speaker 1: doesn't really fit into that. I don't think that's as
Speaker 1: big of an issue going out there. I don't feel
Speaker 1: the same passion as the reader. As I asked Calais
Speaker 1: in the locker room, Yeah, Monday, I guess how real
Speaker 1: is the obstitute thing. He's from Colorado, you know, and
Speaker 1: he hasn't been in Colorado for a long time. He's
Speaker 1: been in Florida, Arizona for a while. Um. He said,
Speaker 1: you know, really, it's the first couple of drives of
Speaker 1: the game, your sucking wind a little bit, and then
Speaker 1: you get used to it, you play. Yeah. I at
Speaker 1: least that that's his experience. I'm not. It's not JP.
Speaker 1: I I am not a world class athlete. I'm a
Speaker 1: world class other things. But I've twenty five years ago,
Speaker 1: I went out there and I was I was running
Speaker 1: relatively consistently. I went out, I was in bolder actually
Speaker 1: do a story on Tony when you was drafted. Went
Speaker 1: out and the first hundred steps my lungs were collapsing.
Speaker 1: Uh and sure enough they did. Um. Yeah. And it
Speaker 1: was a brutal It was a brutal difference. And I
Speaker 1: had dinner with Chris Hudson that night, who was also
Speaker 1: a rookie, and I told him the story and he laughed.
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, it's real, But I teams I've been
Speaker 1: around since then have not had near the issue. I
Speaker 1: think when Denver is really good, there's a huge home
Speaker 1: field advantage. When they're not there, uh, it's not so.
Speaker 1: I haven't been around very many teams that have felt
Speaker 1: that was a huge impact at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, it would be the next closest
Speaker 1: elevation team in the NFL. I don't even know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean and colleges teams out there like Wyoming's higher,
Speaker 1: but there's really not anything altitude wise. They compared their
Speaker 1: a mile high anything else, anything, there's anything that really know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing that close even starts a conversation. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't knowing to google Layer maybe we'll
Speaker 1: look into that. One final social question at do Good one.
Speaker 1: I feel like this may be the best draft class
Speaker 1: we've had. How do you feel it stacks up with
Speaker 1: other drafts? Um Three games in? Well, yeah, we'll take
Speaker 1: a look at the draft class too, But what do
Speaker 1: you think it's sure? It is sure showing the signs
Speaker 1: of being really good three games in. I don't want
Speaker 1: to go overboard with it, but Josh Allen, he has
Speaker 1: done nothing to make you think he's not gonna be
Speaker 1: a huge star. We haven't seen Josh Allery yet. John
Speaker 1: Taylor is fine on the right side, I think to
Speaker 1: be really good. Um, it'll probably wind up turning on Minshew,
Speaker 1: which is what it will do with a quarterback. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If if you look at last year's you know you
Speaker 1: started to come on DJ Chart, Tavin Bryan got a
Speaker 1: lot of heat, but playing better their last three drafts,
Speaker 1: really having a problem with solid drafts and and going
Speaker 1: back to sixteen. So uh, overall it I would say
Speaker 1: their last four draft has been very good. This one
Speaker 1: if Quincy, if Josh Olivers, what we think he's gonna be,
Speaker 1: looks so far like to me very good. There's nobody
Speaker 1: yet that you're thinking, oh, this is gonna this is
Speaker 1: not gonna go well. Um, I think it's got a
Speaker 1: chance to be very very good because of Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: But it is early. We three games going into week
Speaker 1: four of this draft class. There you have a social questions.

Speaker 1: Not much I know Chicago. I don't know much about

Speaker 1: name because of the Chicago Transit. Oh, they didn't like it.
Speaker 1: Copyright deal down to Chicago. Thanks for that, appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you all kinds of stuff today. So we got
Speaker 1: a long road trip coming up. The first off, so
Speaker 1: you know, a short week in the home game, primetime
Speaker 1: under the lights and all that, and players get off.
Speaker 1: Does the equipment staff get off over the weekend too?
Speaker 1: They get away? We got we got a little bit,
Speaker 1: we got a little bit of time off. We did
Speaker 1: have we had some guys coming for treatments, so we
Speaker 1: were doing a few things here and there it was
Speaker 1: good because it was slow, so we got some good
Speaker 1: work done and and some time off, sleep in a
Speaker 1: little bit, stay up a little late too. So oh
Speaker 1: really no, you never never do that. And when you
Speaker 1: go home and you've got to do more along like
Speaker 1: your personal laundry. Yet it does because it took me
Speaker 1: all day Sunday. Even though Peyton Manning is trying to
Speaker 1: push for laundry day is Tuesday. I did it on Sunday. Okay,
Speaker 1: more of this, so that long we're stripped to Denver. Um,
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's not cold yet in Denver you
Speaker 1: have to worry about that. What do you have to
Speaker 1: worry about differently in Denver? Anything besides that? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a grass field, UM, so we'll take the screw
Speaker 1: ins like we normally have when we anytime we play
Speaker 1: on a grass field. Um, it's been pretty warm up there,
Speaker 1: so I imagine the at least the reports I've gotten
Speaker 1: is the fields in pretty good shape. So, but I
Speaker 1: do know the weather can change pretty quick up there. Um.
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago when I was in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: we went up there and it was probably sixty degrees
Speaker 1: that kickoff, and by the time we were getting out
Speaker 1: of there. We were having a hustle because it was
Speaker 1: starting to snow. So jeez, but that will you know,
Speaker 1: that's it was a little later in the year, so
Speaker 1: but I mean, weather rolls in pretty quick out there.
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll take everything we need. You will
Speaker 1: have the rain jackets. Hopefully it won't ring. You know,
Speaker 1: that would be nice. It would be nice the rain Um. Okay,

Speaker 1: with it. He's pretty easy. I mean, he's got them.
Speaker 1: He's got a pretty big foot. He's sixteen. But we
Speaker 1: just ordered a bunch of them and we you know,
Speaker 1: we keep him in there. We stretch them out for him,
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, he's he's pretty low maintenance. So he's
Speaker 1: a good guy. Takes care of us, all right. White

Speaker 1: as well. Are there meetings so when meetings are done,
Speaker 1: they'll come join us meantime. In the meantime, we'll get
Speaker 1: our players to watch this week, John, do you want
Speaker 1: to go first this week? I went first last week? Yes,
Speaker 1: I will go first. And if you throw up the graphic,
Speaker 1: ill yeah, tell people who at one is that d
Speaker 1: D Westbrook And I guess I'm not sure after your day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what his injury status is, I'm gonna assume he's gonna
Speaker 1: play for this segment. Probably had his most difficult game
Speaker 1: in the NFL since he really got going last week.
Speaker 1: Uh No, he didn't play like he wanted to. Um,
Speaker 1: I think about him, He's got a body of work
Speaker 1: that shows you that's not really who he is. He
Speaker 1: has not been as productive early in the season as
Speaker 1: he would have liked, mainly because they've been going to
Speaker 1: d J Chark, going to our guy Chris Connolly. Uh.
Speaker 1: At some point de D is going to take off
Speaker 1: and have the same kind of year he did last year. Uh,
Speaker 1: if not better. And so when he gets back in
Speaker 1: the line of assuming it's this week, I think he
Speaker 1: will start being more productive than he has been. And
Speaker 1: I don't worry about last week affecting moving forward. So
Speaker 1: d D was one of those and the other one
Speaker 1: you go to the cornerback room. Yeah, and uh, because
Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about that Jalen Ramsey so much, I
Speaker 1: think it's easy to lose sight. And this isn't really
Speaker 1: a matchup thing with Denver so much as uh A
Speaker 1: j Boy I thought against the Titans played about as
Speaker 1: well as he's played since maybe the regular season of
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen. UM. I don't know what Jalen status
Speaker 1: is going to be moving for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: I think it might be a week to week weirdness
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Maybe he misses some games because of
Speaker 1: the back, maybe it's whatever. But if all of that's
Speaker 1: going down the other side, boy A getting back to
Speaker 1: what he was in two thousand seventeen and after last year.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure that he would, but he played very
Speaker 1: well on Thursday. If he's got to be the lockdown corner,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that he'll be as good
Speaker 1: as Jalen on the other side, because that's tough. I mean,
Speaker 1: Jaalen's out the worldly, but a j Boy at his
Speaker 1: best was an All Pro in two thousand and seventeen.
Speaker 1: If he can get to that level, they will feel
Speaker 1: the Ramsey thing a lot less than they ordinarily would have.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be keep moving forward. Okay, you've
Speaker 1: got Westbrook and here mind this week, I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars offensive line. I know that's broad, but
Speaker 1: we picked the whole defense, So I'm narrowing it down
Speaker 1: a little bit, at least by six down to five. Well,
Speaker 1: you see some of the stats last week, they had
Speaker 1: eight accepted offensive holding penalties on the offensive line alone.
Speaker 1: I believe they're eleven total in the game on the
Speaker 1: Jags or on the season. For the season, there's been
Speaker 1: eleven holding penalties on the Jags as a team, eight
Speaker 1: of those accepted on the offensive line. That has to improve, certainly.
Speaker 1: Um the rush yards per game has been a topic
Speaker 1: all week. How do they run the football effectively up front?
Speaker 1: It starts there on the offensive line. Can they get
Speaker 1: that push? Can they make the holes? Can Leonard find
Speaker 1: the holes? All that together, but at least get into
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage before contact, that's all five guys
Speaker 1: across the front there, and keep him out of the
Speaker 1: backfield and continue what you're doing in past protection. That's
Speaker 1: what Joan Taylor told me in the locker room today
Speaker 1: that hey, we're keeping the quarterback pretty pretty clean here.
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of getting that push in the
Speaker 1: run game. So that's a big focus this week for
Speaker 1: this offense. Some of the holding early on, I think
Speaker 1: he got caught up in the wash of it was
Speaker 1: way too much league. Why there was a conference call
Speaker 1: on on Saturday night and it it came back down
Speaker 1: to Earth got in a normal number by Sunday. So
Speaker 1: I think some of the holding will take care of itself. Uh,
Speaker 1: you got a run block better. If you had to choose,
Speaker 1: you'd rather keep the quarterback clean and run block because
Speaker 1: he's a rookie quarterback. But they would be on the point.
Speaker 1: I haven't choose. You've got a run block better than
Speaker 1: you have the first in the last two games, okay
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, in the last two games they struggled,
Speaker 1: has not been good. Then my other one is on
Speaker 1: the other side, on the other defensive line, and the
Speaker 1: defensive line thinking got quit. You know, you could feel
Speaker 1: a little bit last week coming back off of his
Speaker 1: first game missed in the National Football League in week two.
Speaker 1: He came back last week on Thursday Night football, and
Speaker 1: he just didn't have that that finish. You know. The
Speaker 1: hamstring I think might have still been a little bit
Speaker 1: of an issue. But he wants to play football and
Speaker 1: he wants to be on the field and help this
Speaker 1: defense out. And I think with considering who's on the
Speaker 1: other side this week, a guy that all these pass
Speaker 1: rushers look up to and Bond Miller, wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: bad thing for him to get out there and play
Speaker 1: well this week. I think he'd love to do that.
Speaker 1: And you see what happens with Josh Allen and the
Speaker 1: other when when Allen was out there playing well. So
Speaker 1: in Gokway still has everything to play for. Certainly, Um
Speaker 1: the contract thing is gone for now, so he's playing
Speaker 1: on this deal and he still wants to be on
Speaker 1: the field. He's not gonna let an injury try to
Speaker 1: slow him down. But this is a big week for
Speaker 1: him to see how he can step back after I
Speaker 1: think the hammy was still there a little bit last week.
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on Remember he missed the Houston game,
Speaker 1: So to think that four days later the hamstring was
Speaker 1: automatically gonna be percent. You don't go from not playing
Speaker 1: to day he played. He get it out. I the
Speaker 1: other thing, you know, Um, everybody handles things how they
Speaker 1: handle things. But it should be said that for all
Speaker 1: the criticism that Yan took for I've been here during
Speaker 1: a he's not being here during camp. All the concern
Speaker 1: or what he would be what he wouldn't be um
Speaker 1: when you deal with Yawn and when you watch him, Uh,
Speaker 1: if you didn't know there was a contract thing going on,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know there was a contract thing going on.
Speaker 1: He is handling it exactly like a pro handles it.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Jalen hasn't because so far I
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything to made me think that he's not
Speaker 1: from Jalen's actions, meaning how well he played last week
Speaker 1: being there. So I'm not saying Jalen hasn't done that.
Speaker 1: But Yon sure has behaved professionally and approached your professionally,
Speaker 1: and he always has when he first came back. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's always you know, Twitter is what he was always wishes, Well,
Speaker 1: what's he gonna do? He has been, you know, nothing
Speaker 1: but a pro. You haven't seen anything in him to
Speaker 1: make you think that the contracts affected him. Once he
Speaker 1: got inside the building, He's Yahn and credit to him.
Speaker 1: So your choices this week D D. Westbrook and A
Speaker 1: J boy By choices this week the Jags offensive line
Speaker 1: and Jaguar's defensive end. Our normal guest host joins us
Speaker 1: now Chris Conley, Jaguars wide receiver and his special guest
Speaker 1: today Jaguar's Safety Andrew Wingered Chris, what's up? Good to
Speaker 1: see you. How you doing. Welcome to the show, Welcome
Speaker 1: to your show. It's good to be here. It's good
Speaker 1: to be back and to join you guys again, and
Speaker 1: to be accompanied by Thor himself, the man, the myth legend,
Speaker 1: Andrew Winkar. So this is Thor? Where does store come from? Uh?
Speaker 1: Pretty self explainatory. I'm just ask no, no, no. He
Speaker 1: does cut his hair though in the new one. So
Speaker 1: will you be cutting your hair? I've been thinking about
Speaker 1: it on Sam. Really, I would say there is a
Speaker 1: there are a lot of fans who are attached to
Speaker 1: your hair already. Well, I I kinda screwed myself if
Speaker 1: I ever wanted to get a haircut, because I grew
Speaker 1: my hair out at Wyoming and I just left it
Speaker 1: and now it's this and it's kind of just my
Speaker 1: kind of my brand. So um, maybe it gives me
Speaker 1: some mystical powers or something, and that's why I've made
Speaker 1: it this far. So if I cut it, I would
Speaker 1: I would lose all my power. I will say, from
Speaker 1: a guy who does not have hair anymore, Keep it
Speaker 1: as long as you can for as long as you can.
Speaker 1: I've I've heard that. Um, you know, once you cut
Speaker 1: it it, you miss it. But we'll see. I don't know. No,
Speaker 1: obviously we know why thorpe, but who first came up
Speaker 1: with it? It just happened of organically. I think Maron
Speaker 1: took credit forward at one point. I think it was
Speaker 1: coach Moron. Honestly, give him credit if he wants. I've
Speaker 1: had the most nicknames though I've ever had here. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's Thor, do we do? He has been my main nickname,
Speaker 1: So I'm either Thor, Dewey or Sunshine, sun Shine such
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him. And most a lot
Speaker 1: of people call me Andrew too. No one really calls
Speaker 1: me by my first name that much, but here I
Speaker 1: got those four in it four names here, so it's
Speaker 1: a weird. And usually the only person that calls me
Speaker 1: Andrew is my mom when she's like pissed at me
Speaker 1: or something. But other than that, yeah, we'll stay away
Speaker 1: from that. We'll reserve that for mom. Chris, you were
Speaker 1: in a long weekend, right, I mean, so the short
Speaker 1: week is can be tough, the quick turnaround for a
Speaker 1: game on Thursday night. But you guys played well, got
Speaker 1: the win, and then you have a mini by weekend.
Speaker 1: You spent your bye weekend in Athens, Georgia. I did,
Speaker 1: You were signing autographs at the bookstore. Yeah. I went
Speaker 1: back to Athens to check out the dogs play Notre
Speaker 1: Dame and they won, not in the fashion that we
Speaker 1: really wanted. You know, we wanted more of a statement game.
Speaker 1: But you know, these guys gotta learn some things. But
Speaker 1: they got they got some talent, They got some talent.
Speaker 1: But it was a good weekend for us. You know,
Speaker 1: bye weekends are so much better after a win, and
Speaker 1: so you know it's I can't overstate that. It makes
Speaker 1: it so much better being able to go home after
Speaker 1: you secure a win. But now we have a long
Speaker 1: week again where we can get back to the base
Speaker 1: six and prepare for another road game. And you misspoke,
Speaker 1: you said bye weekend. But that's really how you guys
Speaker 1: feel about it, didn't it. I mean, oh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: call it a bye weekend for you. That's what it
Speaker 1: feels like. Yeah, no, that's what That's pretty much what
Speaker 1: most people call it. After a Thursday night came, they'll
Speaker 1: call it a bye weekend. Just because a lot of
Speaker 1: teams will give players you know that time off to
Speaker 1: go see family, get their bodies right, and get prepared
Speaker 1: for another week. You get a bonus day sometimes, but yeah,
Speaker 1: bye weekend now. I talked to you late Thursday after
Speaker 1: the game, asked you about the injury and you weren't sure.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you've gotten better news about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. I'm in a good place. I feel good
Speaker 1: right now. Just listening to the doctors and the staff
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm gonna do what they tell me, trust
Speaker 1: them and hopefully be ready for Sunday. Andrew thor I'll
Speaker 1: see you. The nicknames, there's two or three others. M
Speaker 1: let's go with Dewey. Do we go with Dewey? If you?
Speaker 1: If you will? How are you holding up so far?
Speaker 1: I mean, you're a rookie in the NFL, you made
Speaker 1: the team, You're contributing on special teams, You're getting some
Speaker 1: defensive snaps. How you holding up? How are you playing
Speaker 1: so far? I think I'm doing well. Um, I'm just
Speaker 1: enjoying all this, you know, I'm not. I'm not getting
Speaker 1: too high, not getting too low. Just being able to
Speaker 1: go out and make plays, help the team out, get
Speaker 1: some turnovers. Uh, set up the offense. That's that's what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do. I'm not I guess I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to do too much. I'm just going out and
Speaker 1: doing my job and when plays come my way, you know,
Speaker 1: go make him. So I think you that is such
Speaker 1: a good answer. That is such a good like. I'm
Speaker 1: proud of you. I didn't even brief him on that
Speaker 1: before coming in here. That's a great answer. But you
Speaker 1: can tell that that's the way that he approaches the
Speaker 1: game each day in practice, the way that he approaches
Speaker 1: each of his plays out there on the field. There's
Speaker 1: not a lot of opportunities, but he's making the most
Speaker 1: of them. And you know, you're you're no stranger. You're
Speaker 1: no stranger to Colorado because that's where you played your
Speaker 1: high school football and so you've you've dealt with altitude
Speaker 1: and you've dealt with you know, the things that they
Speaker 1: say could hamper football players. What do you think is
Speaker 1: necessary for guys going from the beach to mile high.
Speaker 1: I actually Wyoming was worse than Denver was. Wyoming was set.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I honestly, I really don't think
Speaker 1: the altitude really affects guys that much because we played.
Speaker 1: Now nothing affects him because San Diego we played San
Speaker 1: Diego State, Fresno State, when I played at Wyoming and
Speaker 1: they all came up and they were fine. They beat us,
Speaker 1: so but um, I just think you know, the beat
Speaker 1: juices big time. Just the like they were talking. Coach
Speaker 1: Maron was talking about iron levels, stuff like that, making
Speaker 1: sure you know the oxygens in the blood and just
Speaker 1: stay in hydrated, stay in hydrated. It's huge. Um. You
Speaker 1: know when I was working out at Exos out in
Speaker 1: California for my for the combine and stuff, and I
Speaker 1: went back to Laramie from my pro day and I
Speaker 1: could definitely feel it. Um you know, I wasn't definitely
Speaker 1: wasn't hydrating enough. So as long as you stay hydrated
Speaker 1: and uh you know, in through the nose, out through
Speaker 1: the mouth, I don't think it really affects people as
Speaker 1: much as they say. So now are you caught up?
Speaker 1: And what I'm sure you referred to as roommate mania.
Speaker 1: This has been crazy, not only for just Gardener, but
Speaker 1: for me and Mike Walkers, our other roommate. Like, Gardner
Speaker 1: has packages coming in every day with just random stuff
Speaker 1: and he's like throwing clothes and hats on my bed, like, hey,
Speaker 1: hey man, everyone's sending me all this free stuff. You
Speaker 1: want someone like, uh, absolutely I do. So it's been
Speaker 1: crazy though. It's getting the way of the pile of
Speaker 1: free stuff that you're receiving is that I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: I'm getting as much free stuff as Gardner, but you're
Speaker 1: getting it. Yeah, I'll take it. So it's been crazy though,
Speaker 1: Like we were after the game on Thursday, we were
Speaker 1: just hanging out and checking Gardener's Instagram and within like
Speaker 1: you check it every hour and he's gaining like ten
Speaker 1: thousand new followers, like every thirty minutes. You wake up
Speaker 1: the next day, it's like two thousand followers. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: But it's been super cool, just because I played against
Speaker 1: Gardner in college. Um came through an O t as.
Speaker 1: He was one of the first friends I made. And
Speaker 1: you know, he was a six round you know, six
Speaker 1: round late round, you know, undrafted guys. You know you
Speaker 1: kind of you know, sure a bond together, like hey
Speaker 1: man't we we're gonna make it? You don't know. Um,
Speaker 1: and he's just kind of to see him go from
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the you know, backup six round
Speaker 1: late guy to where he's at right now has been
Speaker 1: super cool. And I guess is he hasn't changed a
Speaker 1: big none. Was like the kind of guy completely unaffected
Speaker 1: by it. And you can speak to this unaffected and
Speaker 1: I think that's what will help him so much, is
Speaker 1: he's not, like I said, he's not getting too high,
Speaker 1: just even keel and I think watched that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Hey has the young kid responding to it? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I mean it seems okay. I've seen guys get get
Speaker 1: that and they can go a completely opposite way. But
Speaker 1: I think Conder's done a really good job of remembering
Speaker 1: what got him there and remembering that work ethic and uh,
Speaker 1: staying consistent, you know, coming to work every day and
Speaker 1: not letting the media attention and the attention of everyone
Speaker 1: else outside affect the way that he works in this building.
Speaker 1: You know, he still is probably the most humble guy
Speaker 1: in that huddle because he knows he's he still knows
Speaker 1: he's rookie, and I think that that's awesome. You know,
Speaker 1: he can he can take command of the huddle, call
Speaker 1: to play and say, hey, this is what we need
Speaker 1: to do, but at the same time still have the
Speaker 1: humility to say, hey, help me, and I think that's awesome.
Speaker 1: How did you do against Gardner in college? By the way, uh,
Speaker 1: he torched us. I'm not gonna lie to you because
Speaker 1: we went into the game. It was his first game.
Speaker 1: He was a transfer from East Carolina, and we're going
Speaker 1: in like, oh, they gotta they got a grad transfer quarterback.
Speaker 1: We know they're going to run air ade, you know,
Speaker 1: Micha Leach offense. Let's let's let's go get after this guy.
Speaker 1: And it was the crazy thing is it was like
Speaker 1: twenty to nineteen with like eight minutes left to go
Speaker 1: in the game, and we ended up losing, like Gardner,
Speaker 1: just Gardner, just so I definitely gained. You know, I
Speaker 1: I respect all the guys I play against, but I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I went into that game like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's let's get some picks on this guy
Speaker 1: and get him rattled stuff like that. But he's a
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. Not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1: He And I think that's how some of these other teams, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't you don't look at the quarterback
Speaker 1: that's you know, six foot whatever and say, oh, you
Speaker 1: know this guy. This guy ain't anything. And that's I think,
Speaker 1: how how he's had so much success. Obviously he's a
Speaker 1: really good player, but he's getting people by surprise for sure,
Speaker 1: and he's he's gaining in that respect that he deserves.
Speaker 1: Final thoughts here, guys, a big game coming up. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a team still with some confidence, certainly with
Speaker 1: some confidence now after a win on Thursday night football
Speaker 1: against the division rival one and two. Records go on
Speaker 1: a couple of time zones west up in the altitude
Speaker 1: a little bit. But now looking at I don't know
Speaker 1: how far you look ahead on the schedule. I know
Speaker 1: you're gonna say game to game week. Do we honestly
Speaker 1: have no idea who we played next after Denver? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I know. I honestly, like have not looked at his schedule. Um,
Speaker 1: I typically don't, uh, and I don't really get excited
Speaker 1: excited for anything. Everybody's like, oh, did you like Circle
Speaker 1: Kansas sitting on the calendar. Yeah, because they were the
Speaker 1: first game, But like there's I honestly don't know who
Speaker 1: we played next. I don't really care. I know that
Speaker 1: Denver is a team that has a lot of pride,
Speaker 1: that's an organization that has a lot of pride. They've
Speaker 1: won football games, they've won championships, and they know how
Speaker 1: to bounce back, and that confidence is still there, and
Speaker 1: so we can't take this game lightly in any respect.
Speaker 1: You know, both teams are gaining some confidence right now
Speaker 1: moving forward. Both teams have stellar defenses, Both teams have
Speaker 1: offensive that are making adjustments, and so I think this
Speaker 1: is a great test for us going up against the
Speaker 1: program with that kind of tradition. I love it should
Speaker 1: be a great game on Sunday in Denver. Good to
Speaker 1: see you guys, Andrew for Dewey, thanks for having me,
Speaker 1: for having Chris, well done, Thanks man, Thanks for having
