My name's J. P. Shadrick. 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.920 That's Jeff Lockman. That might be the best intro ever. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.040 It was. Okay we've had on this show.

It's pretty good 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.720 considering some of the my cause my cleats cleats this week. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.400 Have you seen some of these? I have, I have 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.120 seen some of them. They look good, especially one quarter. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.760 They look Now. I'm a big end of the logan 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.800 Logan cook one. What are you talking about? Oh yeah, 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.319 what's on his uh? He has the uh taking a 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:13.000 basically benefits taking kids hunting and fishing. It's catch a dream. 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.440 So yeah, I'm cool. I'm a big fan of that. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.920 That's good stuff. Love that. That's all coming up this week. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.320 The Jags and the Chargers game in week fourteen, right 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.240 around the corner at four oh five Sunday, here's what's 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.319 coming up on the show today. The quarterback change will 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.880 break all that down. Coming up. Jags looking for just 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.640 to win, just get get in the right direction. We'll 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.839 see how they can do that. They're facing Philip Rivers. 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:37.880 They haven't done that a lot against Rivers over the 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:42.080 history of this matchup the Chargers and the Jags. Four 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.679 games left in the season, and we'll go around the 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.520 a f C South all that coming up. Four games left, Yes, 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.040 four games left, the final chore of the season. Now 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.080 you're kind of counting them down down in the stretch 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.280 for me, and that's I know, players and coaches, I mean, 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:57.920 they've got a job to do, and their job is 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:02.040 to win football games. But I think most people outside 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:07.480 of that are are counting it down because mathematically they're alive. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.960 Reality they're not. They're out of the playoff race. It's done. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.919 So do you ever watch that movie Dumb and Dumber 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.680 saying there's a chance, there is, but it's gonna take 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.200 a lot of help. In reality, it ain't happening. Jp 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:27.680 they're playing for their resume, here's the reality. There's a 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.920 chance mathematically, but it's very small. And you're talking about 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.799 a football team that has lost the last four games 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:40.080 by an average of twenty point five points. That's a lot. Okay, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.720 So to say that they mathematically have a possibility that 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:49.880 would be accurate, but that's a long way from something 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.800 that actually will occur. I may you're you're you're struggling 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.560 right now as a football team in so many different ways, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:03.280 I mean, as a as an offense, as a defense, organizationally, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:09.120 the it's not good right now. And uh, I think 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.200 a lot of people are are less concerned about what 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.720 happens in these four games and are more concerned about 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:22.240 what happens after these four games because people are expecting change. Uh. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.079 Fans are expecting change. Uh, and that and that's natural. 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.440 I mean, it's professional sports. Is is a is not 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:34.840 a very patient deal, especially well especially, you know, especially 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.040 an organization that has not had a lot of winning 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.600 like this one. I mean, we were hoping that it 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:45.400 was gonna be the new new, But the farther we 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.600 get away from it, the more it's become just an 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.600 aberration instead of instead of the norm. You know, because 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.920 you you consistently are trying to always build a consistent winner, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.080 and the consistent winning has not found its way into 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:02.839 Jacksonville yet. And at some point you need you need 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:07.320 to institute some type of change that that brings that 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:12.000 to the forefront. And and until you do, it's gonna 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.920 be some more of the same. Possibly the biggest change 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.240 on the field last week at the quarterback position, Nick 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.960 Foles pulled from the game at halftime. Gardner Mins You 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.080 finished the game, and then it was announced on Monday 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.240 that Gardnerments will be the starting quarterback the rest of 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.200 the way, starting this week against the Los Angeles Chargers. 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.880 Mence You, of course started eight games earlier in the season. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.240 What did he learn from those experiences? We heard from 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.120 the quarterback this week. A lot of times when you're playing, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.360 you got a million different things that you're having to 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.680 focus in on, uh, and you kind of lose some 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.280 of the bigger stuff. Uh, I guess I should say 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.400 some of smaller stuff sometimes. UM. But when you when 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:49.839 you're out of that role, you can kind of step 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.039 back and see the little details, and UM, it was 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.760 a really good experience for me. So that he's talking 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.000 about being set back down on the bench behind Nick 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.800 Foles a few weeks there and having a having it 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.839 slowed down a little bit, and maybe you know, in 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.600 a game environment, it comes at your quick. On the 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.040 sideline you can see somebody else go through it. And 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.560 that's at least the way he put it this week. Well, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.440 I think you're you're always in a position that you 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.880 can learn, whether you're playing or whether you're watching or whatever. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.240 And I think sometimes it is good to take a 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.880 step back and to kind of re evaluate where you 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.640 are at versus where the game is at and where 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.120 you need to be at. And so I think there 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.080 is some benefit for a young player playing for a 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.680 while and then stepping away and then watching someone else 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.000 do it, and then coming back into the lineup, uh, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.080 and then also having having the chance and I know 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.120 a lot of people are down on Nick Foles, and look, 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.880 I get it, but also having an opportunity to watch 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.760 Nick Foles how he goes about his business, because look, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.640 Nick Foles is a pro. Uh. People are have a 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.960 right to criticize him for his play. And I understand 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.920 that I wasn't a big fan of the booing so 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:07.240 much or the Minshoe chance, although I have it's part. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.520 It's pro sports, and look, you gotta have thick you 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.960 gotta have thick skin, and and that's the way it is. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.720 I get I mean, hell, I was booed when I 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.440 was drafted. I wasn't even in the NFL, and I 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.320 was getting my rear end booed. I mean, I get it. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.000 I mean, look, I mean it's part of the two. 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.040 I mean back then, I had to have thick skin. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.919 I went to a a tough market where they weren't 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:32.960 really thrilled with the hometown team drafting me. And uh, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:34.919 that's just the way life goes. And you move on. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.360 And so Nick Foles will have to move on and 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.479 Minho was just gonna have to accept the fact that 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.919 quarterbacks get booted and at some point maybe he gets booed, 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.280 and hopefully he doesn't. But yeah, I'm excited to watch 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.719 him play because when he came in, there was a 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:54.440 very apparent lift of whatever you wanna call it. Something changed. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.960 Uh there's a little sparks, some energy, whatever that word. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.160 But it wasn't. But it wasn't just in the stadium, 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.240 because you can feel the energy change in the stadium 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.640 because the people that were wanting Minshew in the lineup 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.400 got him. But then all of a sudden, the defense 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:16.040 comes out in the in the first half, and uh 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.080 and they do a good job of getting a sack, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.640 callst fumble. Well wait a minute, where was the defense 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.560 the whole first half? Where were the big plays in 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:30.000 the first half? And uh, So it wasn't just offense, 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.720 it was offense, it was in the stands, it was 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.040 with the defense. And and I said this a couple 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.760 of weeks ago. We're talking about Minshew and him having moxie, 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.640 and uh and I that moxie seemed to carry itself 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.200 over into other aspects of this football team. The the 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.840 disappointing thing is that this game was so close to 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:56.080 being I mean a game. I'm talking, hold onto the 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.040 seat of your pants. This thing is back being a 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.120 football game. And all it took was one more score 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.720 that have been down seven. And people say, well, deed, 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.600 he should have caught the ball. Okay. Uh. People say well, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.000 the Jaguars should have run the football every down on 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.000 first and goal from the one. Well, here's what I 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.880 say to that, and to all that. On first down 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.119 of Flettard, Fournette goes the right way, it's a walk 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.360 in touchdown on first and goal at the one on 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.040 third down, which was the interception. Yeah, did he would 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.480 He's opportunity, He's got his hands on the ball, catch 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.760 it right, Uh, not an easy catch. Well, on that play, 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.040 I would say, well, Gardner Minch has gotta make the 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.600 right throw. And that's that was said in the media 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.400 this week as well. Gardner said that d Filippo said 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.439 that today an opportunity. Yeah, there was keeling call all 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.120 on the end zone. So there's three things that could 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.440 have and and if one of those three things happens, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.839 now you've got a seven point game. A seven point 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.960 game in which you had a game that that there 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:01.720 was there was no belief, no oh chance that this 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.440 team was going to get back in It was twenty 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:08.000 five nothing. I mean, look, I wish I wish it. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:09.839 I wish they had made the play to make it 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.960 a seven point game, because then it would have been. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.520 It was getting close to being fun, but not quite. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.200 The big picture question now around the quarterback position, there 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.319 are a couple of big picture questions around the team. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.640 Of course, are you know what the decision who will 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.760 be making the decisions at quarterback? But then the smaller 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.160 question about the quarterback is what is the future for 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.640 Nick Foles at the position? Now? Well, I don't think 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.079 anybody knows. Well I do know this. It doesn't make 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.880 any sense to let in the future. I don't care 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.320 who's making the decisions. I mean, you're you gave him 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.000 fifty something million guaranteed, and what are you gonna do? 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:51.280 You and cut that and absorb another even bigger dead 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.560 money cap pit by letting Nick Foles go. I mean, 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.440 I think that's part of the problems organizationally that you've had. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.800 I mean, you sign Bordles to an extension and gave 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.199 him I think twenty six million guaranteed, and now you've 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.120 got all this dead money that's stuck on your cat 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.000 this year and he's not even on your football team. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.120 And then and now you've got the same type situation again. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.760 And uh, I mean, as an owner, you can't be 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.720 happy with that. I mean, we're we're talking we're talking 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:25.880 real money. First of all, it's real money, okay, that's 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:31.439 that's tangible touch cash money, coal harp cash money. Number two, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.360 it affects your ability to do other things. When I 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.400 say other things, well, does it affect your ability to 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.640 to go acquire a free agent, yes, does it affect 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.680 your ability to keep more of your own guys, yes. 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.800 So so these are the decisions that have have hampered 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.920 this franchise. And that can't happen when you pay that 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.280 kind of money. You've got to be able to be 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.840 getting something for your money. So the future Nick Foles, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.400 I think it's gonna be on this football team. Just 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.880 from a cap standpoint, wouldn't make sense to let him 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.800 go and then eat up the dead money and not 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.680 even get a backup out of it. So, and who's 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.360 to say that next year, all a sudden, you've got 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.559 an open competition and it's and maybe it's a three 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.240 way competition. Maybe you have a high picked first round 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.360 rookie and then Gardner Minshew and Nick falls and say 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.000 best man win, Good luck, gentlemen. And there would be 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.560 absolutely nothing wrong with that in my book, because you 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.080 can never have too many quarterbacks. You have to constantly 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.679 search and tell you you do not rest until you 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.680 find your franchise guy and I and look at Gardner 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.520 Minshew has such a small sample size. You're not gonna 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.680 sit there and go, oh yeah, yeah, we we We've 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.040 got our quarterback. We're good. He's got plenty of the 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.000 same thing about Leonard Fournette. Just because you draft the 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.000 Leonard Fournet, does that make you stop drafting running backs? No, 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.760 it shouldn't. It probably stops you from drafting him in 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.800 the top ten, but well, yeah, I mean it might 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.160 change that. But here's still have to have players. Yeah, 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:03.960 and there's another guy in the top ten. It's gonna 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.800 be better than him. I mean I'm talking way better, 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:13.120 like generation, like Adrian Peterson or something.

Um, but boy, he can talk a lot 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.720 of crap, and uh, you know, I think that adds 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.600 fuel to our guys and that kind of stuff. I 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:17.000 know he is a competitive, competitive person, and uh it's 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.400 a it's a great challenge for us on defense because 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.400 how competitive he is. Um, you know, can we rattle him? 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.640 I don't know. He's tough, but you know that's gonna 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.640 be one of our goals.

That coach in studio, planning to 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.560 discuss with him this week. He's gonna be uh sporting 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.760 some cool shoes for the my calls Mike Leats deal too, 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.000 I think, correct, correct, we'll have a look at those 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.040 if you're watching on Jaguars dot Com. Gonna have later, 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.760 I think. So we're working on this. We're efforting. Yeah, 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.480 that'd be nice to have. We're for ck So that's 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.080 coming up a little bit later today. Um let's start 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.400 on defense though, with the big news today of Miles 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.760 Jack going on an injured reserve. He missed last week's 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.879 game and now he's gonna miss the rest of the 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.439 games this season. He's done, Miles back, done for the year. Logs. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.040 What kind of I think when he was out there? 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.520 Not a very good one. I mean, if you look, 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.360 if you if you if you put the standard at 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.320 being the the year that he had two years ago 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:34.159 or or compared to like Lesnis years, Miles Jack was 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.520 not having not having a good year. He had a 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.119 he had a good stretch, you know, good stretch of 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.080 games there for a little bit. We're talking about the 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:47.200 the games against uh, the Saints he played pretty well, Bengals, 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.639 he played pretty well, the Jets, he played pretty well. 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.560 I thought Cincinnati might might have been his best game. 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.679 That you're talking about probably the worst football team that 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.400 they played, I mean, and arguably the worst football team 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.800 that there is in the NFL this year. You know. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.720 Oh no, I mean, he wasn't having a good year. 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.720 It's disappointing. Obviously, send the big contract before the season 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.959 and then this was gonna be okay, let's see. This 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.000 is where he takes off and proves all that. And well, 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.080 when you when you get at when you get a 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:17.439 contract extension and uh, and like I've always said this, 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:21.120 it's never about the money. But when you do get one, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.280 I think as a player, your natural reaction is and look, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.000 you want to play well because you don't ever want 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.160 to give people the impression. And I'm not saying that 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.639 that Miles the level of play that he exhibited was 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.080 a result of the contract. I'm not saying that, but 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.720 as a player, when you do get a contract, whether 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:43.560 you're Andrew Norwell or Miles Jack or whoever, the quarterback 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.479 Nick Foles, you always want to have your level of 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.200 play at a certain level to where people go, oh, yeah, 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:55.800 he's worth it, you know. And when it's not there, then, uh, 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.520 the voices or the criticism seemed to get a little 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.960 bit louder. And and I get it. I understand it. 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:05.040 It's professional football, and in some cases it's warranted. In 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.960 some cases it's not. I think some people are educated 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.320 about it and understand what the expectations are. I think 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.640 some people are a little bit unrealistic because some people 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.840 expect just because a guy gets, for example, Nicole twenty 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:20.320 two million a year, he should lead us to a 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:24.479 super Bowl. Oh, there's a lot of quarterbacks out there. 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.000 They're making twenty two million, and they're not all going 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.199 to super Bowl. It's just part of the deal, you know. 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:33.040 It's part of the economics of of paying professional athletes. Now, 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.159 with Miles Jack down, let's take a look at the 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.600 linebacker room. Now for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it is 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.400 Jake Ryan is up Lye and Leon Jacobs is up. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.879 Donald Payne started at middle linebacker last week. He was 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.080 on the street a few weeks ago, sitting on the couch. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.159 Quincy Williams has been here all year, but he was 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.000 out of the line up. A good bit of rookie awesome. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.920 And then Joe Giles Harris promoted again from the practice 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.800 squad today when Miles Jack went down, and you look 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.359 at the injury deserve guys. Of course, now Miles Jack 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.359 nag good, DJ Alexander on Wallly, those guys were earlier 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.480 in the season, but that's a it's a thin group 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:10.040 on that linebacker. Well. And Jake Ryan came back off 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.320 the nf I Non foot Football Injury list last week 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.480 and he's been playing special teams only the last week, 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.399 and I can tell he's not ready to play. You 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.600 watch him on on special teams and he's favoring the 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.280 knee that he had had injured. It doesn't appear that 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:31.320 he he runs full speed. I think that was maybe 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.000 one of those things. Well, hey, let's let's get him 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:34.919 out there and maybe maybe he can get back up 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.040 to speeds while he's playing, and I hope he does. 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:39.800 I mean because look, I mean, when you when you're 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.399 out for that long, he's missed a lot of time, 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.320 a lot of football, and it's it's probably hard to 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.280 get back up to speed. But my opinion from watching 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.240 him in this past week's game, he's not ready, you know, 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.560 so you gotta you gotta linebacking corps. That's pretty thin. 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.320 You're looking at a lot of undrafted guys that are 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.320 gonna be taking some time. The newly promoted Giles Harris 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:04.680 off the practice squad. He was an undrafted guy from Duke. 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.000 Donald Payne was an undrafted guy from the Baltimore Ravens. 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:14.399 I think calltro is even an undrafted guy. Quincy Williams 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.040 hasn't been playing all that well. I think Leon Jacobs 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.040 I think it's played pretty well this year when given 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:24.040 the opportunity. He had a sack last week. Um, but 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.400 I mean this defense right now is two things. One, 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.000 it's struggling to stay healthy and I think it's also 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.680 number two. I think it's struggling to find talent. That's 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.800 the reality. That's where they are right now. This is 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:38.960 this is it just the back end of the of 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.200 the defense last week. I want to say that there 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:44.680 was at one point there was like four out of 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.240 the five undrafted guys, and maybe all four at the 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:49.359 same time when they're in base personnel. All of the 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.680 secondary members were all undrafted. Includes a J boy, a 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.000 who's now he has been an All Pro, he was undrafted. 0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:59.679 I I'm not I'm not trying to criticize make them 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:01.760 make a negative point. I'm just trying to point that 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:05.399 out that I mean, it can be a negative. But 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:08.800 in a J Boy's case, I'm not saying that that's 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.600 a negative because he has been a pro bowler. But 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:13.520 I will say A J didn't play great last week. 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.760 But the other guys are young, you know, and in 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:18.600 one of them, you just you just shipped out in 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:22.320 Brian Borders, who was an undrafted guy, and uh, you 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:26.600 released him. So life comes at you fast in the NFL. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.159
