14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: today's show on Sunday. You heard the name Blake Cashman

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: time and time and time again, at least nineteen times,

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: because he had nineteen tackles, he had a sack. He

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: was a monster. He's been a monster all season long. Well,

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: he's on today's show in the middle portion of this podcast,

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: and we get kind of weird with him, as I

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: tend to do with players. I'll get weird I'll ask

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: him stuff and he's always a good sport about it.

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: He always has good answers. We had a lot, a

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: lot of fun with him, a little I'm sorry, that's

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: just my that's just inexcusable.

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: Okay, silence the phone.

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: Here we go. But a little bit later. We also

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: have our good pal JP Shadrick. He covers the Jaguars.

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: He also has a zillion dollar voice. You're gonna hear

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: it if you listen on the radio to Lions and

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: Packers this weekend or Packers at Lions. I should say

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: it's in Detroit, it's the Thanksgiving game. He's calling it

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: on Westwood One, and then he's flipping around. Two days later,

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: he's got the call of the Ohio State at Michigan

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: Monster Broadcast. That's gonna be a lot of fun. So

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: he doubles as a play by play voice. He's one

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: of the great play by play talents in the game. We, however,

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: mainly talk about the Texans and Jaguars matchup. First time

38
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: these two teams I've ever met, this late in the

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: season where they're both above five hundred. Always cool talking

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: with JP. He's a good friend of the show, and

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: we had a lot of fun talk with him. But

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: it's time to get into in the lab with my

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 2: good pal John Harris. But before we do, we're gonna

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: play a little fun game. John doesn't know this. Holler

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: at me and tell me which of these is the lie?

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: Two truths and a lie about John Harris to set

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: this whole thing up. Doesn't really have anything to do

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: with the conversation you're about to hear, But two truths

49
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: and a lie about John Harris. John was the valedictorian

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: at Lamar Consolidated High School in nineteen ninety. John Harris

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 2: plays the clarinet. John Harris at one point had to

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: choose between going to the Air Force Academy or Brown University?

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: Which of those is the lie? I want to hear

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: from you? All right, without further ado, here's my pal

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: John and me, John Harris, How you doing.

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: Good Thanksgiving week?

00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: Texas are six and four, have won three in a row,

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: and the Jaguars are coming to town on Sunday to

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: Texans when that they'll be a top d AFC South.

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of crazy to think about. So, yeah,

61
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: pretty good. How you doing? Happy Thanksgiving?

65
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: Most overrated side dish Thanksgiving is well.

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: The most overrated dish at Thanksgiving to me, just in

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 4: general's turkey.

68
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,840

00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: Oh?

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: It was upstairs one day.

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: They had a smoked turkey upstairs for us for lunch

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: one day, and it was fantastic.

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: Turkey done really really well. I think is good.

78
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 4: But sometimes Thanksgiving turkey is not always done extremely well well,

79
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: and so it's just kind of like, okay, but I.

80
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: Love all the sides.

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: Man, I'm not a big vegetable sides guy, so like,

85
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 4: as mashotatoes are done my way, then yeah, we're good.

00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not that big on stuffing or dressing.

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: I find that comical that people love fighting about what

89
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: it's called carry either way, when it's money, I really

90
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,440

91
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: a little bit overrated. It's good, but it's not great.

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: So I like to change things up at Thanksgiving. My

00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,200

00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 4: My wife is we have this, this, this, and this,

95
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 4: and I'm like, hey, what about doing like a process.

96
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,440

Speaker 4: So we get our turkey because I just don't want

103
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,479

Speaker 4: and I will subcontract out the pies because I got

110
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 4: a pie place that's close to me.

111
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: Yea, I know which one you're talking about. That's that's

115
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: was talking about that yesterday. He's like, I gotta have

116
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: some ham like yeah. So he's like red velvet cake,

117
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: which I'm for all that.

118
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: You don't have to have the turkey on Thanksgiving. If

119
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: you have a good protein you like, go with it.

120
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: Go with it.

121
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary keeps rising in my books as a one

122
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: of the favorite Texans. So let's get into what if

123
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: I told you? What if I told you I love

124
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: that thirty for thirty voice there? So what if I

125
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: told you John before the game Sunday that this is

126
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I came up and I put my arm

127
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: around just like, Hey, listen, John, We're gonna throw three

128
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: interceptions today. We're gonna get sacked four times today. John

129
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: m John Davis Mills is going to be in the

130
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: ball game today. We're gonna lose the time of possession. John,

131
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: we're not gonna score in the second half. What if

132
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: I told you those things?

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: What if I told you, well, it would be a lot.

134
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: First of all, I would have thought, OKAYJ CJ got hurt.

135
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: Maybe he had one of the interceptions. Davis came in.

136
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: Maybe he had one of the interceptions. Maybe they tried

137
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 4: a half back pass it went wrong.

138
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: It was that person.

139
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: That's where a sack came in. The that was technically

140
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: that Tank Dell pulled up. He could they credited that

141
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: with a sack of Tank Dell. He kind of did

142
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: one of those end around up and throw yeah.

143
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: And I knew he was throwing it. I could see

144
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: it right away, I said Mark. As soon as he

145
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: threw it to the tank, I was like, he's throwing this.

146
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna hit that. They're gonna hit that too, well,

147
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: tank and throw Yeah.

148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 7: I know.

149
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: I noticed this the other day when he was throwing.

150
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: I can't remember if it's that practice or it was

151
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 4: pregame and I'm watching him throw and I'm like, he

152
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: can't really throw it. I would be shocked if they

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: don't have something for him. The hell of a football

154
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: player he really is, and he was going to throw that.

155
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: There was just there was just nothing available downfield. The

156
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 4: Cardinals did a great job, so I would have said

157
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: I would have said.

158
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: All of that.

159
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: I think what counterbalances those things is the fact that

160
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: your first thirty minutes offensive football were incredible. You know,

161
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: you put up twenty one in that half, and you

162
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: you left points on the field in the first half.

163
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: You left plenty of points on the field in the

164
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: second half. And and look, I hate seeing CJ throw

165
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: throw interceptions.

166
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: You know.

167
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: The one tipball, Yeah, that's a tough one. Tipballs are

168
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: always they're tricky, right. The one that he threw to

169
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: t Nico Onnienzone, I think was a little bit of

170
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: a heat check. Just you know, there were you just

171
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: watch and you freeze frame. At one point You're like,

172
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: there are six Cardinals around Nico, right, there wasn't much there,

173
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: you know. The the one by Antonio Hamilton on the sidelines,

174
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: I'd let go back and see again, because that was

175
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 4: that was away from me.

176
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: But it was just you know, throw. I'm sure CJ

177
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: would like to have back.

178
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: But you can't really say other than that he was

179
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: twenty I want to say he's twenty seven.

180
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: Of thirty six something like that.

181
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: If you take the three interceptions out, he's like twenty

182
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: seven to thirty three, and he just he was dotting throws.

183
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean, his throws were.

184
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 2: Just twenty seven to thirty seven for three three six.

185
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: So he's twenty seven thirty four without the interceptions three

186
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 4: point thirty plus two touchdowns.

187
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's six completions twenty or more.

188
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: I'll turn this around on you, Drew.

189
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 4: If I'd have told you at the beginning of the

190
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: year that at week ten, after week ten, CJ would

191
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: be seventeen to five touchdowns, interceptions, all these receivers would

192
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: have all these yards.

193
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean you, you would have taken it all day,

194
00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: all day, every day.

195
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: I think this is one of the fascinating things about

196
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: about this offense, and you know CJ driving it is

197
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 4: the fact that they've had three receivers do it twice,

198
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 4: so six times one hundred and.

199
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: Forty plus yards receiving in a game.

200
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: Nico's done it twice, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, Noah did it twice,

201
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay and Cincinnati, Tank did it twice, Jacksonville and.

202
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: This past week against Arizona, They've each done it twice.

203
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: And let me flip around your flip around here, because

204
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: you mentioned those stats. You also have one guy, Nico

205
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: averaging sixteen point two yards of catch, another guy Tank

206
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: fifteen point seven. So it's two guys averaging sixteen to catch,

207
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: and you got a third guy, Noe Brown, who did

208
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: play the other day, basically averaging twenty one yards at catch.

209
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: Three different. That's that's wild.

210
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: Well that to that point, to my point, about one

211
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 4: hundred and forty yards plus receivings happened six times in

212
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: ten games. How many times did it happen in twenty

213
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: twenty two? Don't think too hard. Zero yeah, zero, they

214
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: had there were two. We had two one hundred yard

215
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: receiving games. Brandon Cooks in Week eighteen against Indianapolis, save

216
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: your jokes.

217
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: And then they.

218
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: Barely got that, yeah, barely got it.

219
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: He got on that fourth down throw game.

220
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that, I'm just saying barely cracked.

221
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then Chris Moore had one hundred.

222
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: He had ten cats for one hundred and twenty four

223
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: yards against Cowboys. So they only had two one hundred

224
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 4: yard receiving games. You add in tanks one hundred yard

225
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 4: receiving game against Tampa.

226
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: And then you add in one against Jacksonville.

227
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 3: Well, that was one hundred and forty plus.

228
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you add in one for Tank and one

229
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: for Dalton Schultz, you're talking about eight one hundred plus

230
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: yard receiving games.

231
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 8: Wow.

232
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: So it's not as if CJ's come in and just said,

233
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna rely on Stefon Diggs or

234
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna rely on Jordan Jefferson. You know, I'm gonna

235
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 4: lie on DJ Moore Like he's gone, Okay, they're taking

236
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: this away. I'll take this. Okay, you're gonna take that away.

237
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: I'll take this, take this and that away. I'll go there.

238
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 4: And he's done that all year. And I think that's

239
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: really what's what's kind of changed this offense in some sense,

240
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: the fact that well this well, is this a Tank game?

241
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 3: Is it a Nico game?

242
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: Is it a Noah game? Is a Robert Woods game?

243
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 4: One of those guys has been kind of the and

244
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: I called it the other night in radio. I called

245
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 4: it the big Connection. And it's like you could pick

246
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: a game and go, Okay, what was the big connection

247
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: in this game? You know Tampa Bay? Well, it was

248
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 4: everybody against Tampa. But it was everybody against Tampa.

249
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: John, you and I are calling it different things because

250
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 2: every week on Texans extra Points, I do I have

251
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: a question in the first segment, Spin the wheel, Yeah,

252
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,599
Speaker 2: spin the wheel. Tell me who's going to be the

253
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: receiver has the big game this week? It was Tank

254
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: last week. I think I think Brandon Scott called Tank

255
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: last weekend. So it's been so it's so refreshing seeing

256
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: this because this is not just over the last couple

257
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: of years, it's the last decade. You know, we've not

258
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: seen these big chunk yard plays happened so consistently. We've

259
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: seen them, you know, we see them with Will Fuller,

260
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: we saw him time to time with DeAndre Hopkins. But

261
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: this is just six seven, eight, nine times a game. Yeah,

262
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: here's been so much, so much fun to watch. Here's

263
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: here's the other here's the other part. Drew on Sunday

264
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: and this, if you this would have really complicated things.

265
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: CJ.

266
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 4: Stroud was nearly perfect on third down on Sunday, I

267
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 4: mean nearly perfect. I want to say it was like

268
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 4: thirteen of fourteen. Now, the Texans didn't always get a

269
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: first down as a result of a CJ. Stroud throw,

270
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 4: but they were nine of thirteen sixty nine percent on

271
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: third down.

272
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: That's phenomenal. That almost I don't care if you're a

273
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. I don't care if you've been in the

274
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: league for twenty years.

275
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: Oh, it's impossible to lose when you do that.

276
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirteen of fourteen.

277
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 4: Now I did try and give it back to the

278
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: Cardinals at some point, but you know, going into halftime.

279
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: I like the game book because the game book gives

280
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: you the first half stats so you can all do

281
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: the math to back into your second half.

282
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: But at half, the Texans had three hundred thirty three

283
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: total yards.

284
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 4: Motor had eighty four rushing, CJ had thrown for two

285
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: fifty nine, and I just kind of flabbergasted. Just that's

286
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 4: that's an incredible, incredible number.

287
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: Three hundred thirty three yards passing.

288
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 4: And there was an interception that was the first one

289
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: to Nico that could have been another three or seven points,

290
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 4: and you could have been up, I mean, you should

291
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: have been up twenty four to seven, almost twenty eight seven,

292
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 4: and he probably twenty take twenty four to seven at

293
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 4: the half, like, and you're getting the ball to start

294
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: second half.

295
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 3: You run away and hide basically absolutely at that point.

296
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: But uh, you know takes a mistake.

297
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, yeah, you made some mistakes and things

298
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 4: didn't go extremely well to start the third quarter. In fact,

299
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 4: that first drive of the third quarter, you missed the

300
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: field goal. And now all of a sudden, okay, they've

301
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: got a little bit of momentum, they go down, they

302
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: score a touchdown, and now you know, now you know,

303
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: you got a ballgame, like gosh, dang it. And those

304
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 4: are the ones that are always frustrating, like you're dominating

305
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 4: the action, but they're one flukey play Chris Burns Chris

306
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 4: Barnes tipped interception from taking it to the house, and

307
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 4: you're like, whoa, we would have been behind at that.

308
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: So thank thank you George Fant for running really really

309
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: fast and going and catching Chris Bartes at the interception.

310
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: Such a weird you talk about the game book, such

311
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: a weird fourth quarter. You look at the possession page

312
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: on the game book. That's, you know, like the third

313
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: fourth page of the game book, the final three possessions

314
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: for the Cardinals, all of them they go for it

315
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: on fourth down and they turn it over on downs

316
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: Texans stop them. On fourth down, the Texans punt, they

317
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: have two picks, and then they do the victory formation.

318
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: So that's a you're not going to see that one

319
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: too many times in the future when you look at

320
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: that page. Okay, let's flip it over. First time the

321
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: Jaguars and the Texans are ever playing this late in

322
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: the season with winning records. Somebody said, first time ever

323
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: playing with both teams having above five hundred marks. That's

324
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: kind of crazy if you think about it. To JP Shadrick,

325
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: who you're gonna hear from later in the week on

326
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: the radio show he works for, the Jaguars, got a

327
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: terrific voice. He put it perfectly. It's like two ships

328
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: passing in the night in that regard. You know, when

329
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: the Jaguars have been good, the Texans have not, and

330
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: vice versa. Right biggest game is Vandermier saying, in the

331
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: history of the matchup, you gotta agree, it's the only

332
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: time they've been winning. Winner takes the division for sure,

333
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: for right now, for this week, takes the division lead.

334
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, Monday morning, when we wake up,

335
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: the Cream of the Crop Award winner will have been.

336
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: Who the Cream of the crop Larry tonson h how come?

337
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just talked to Nick Asserio a little while

338
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: ago and he brought up Josh Allen. And of course,

339
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 4: when you hear Josh Allen, as everybody destinctively do oh

340
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: Bill's court and forget about Josh Allen the pass rusher,

341
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: the really really good edge rusher for the Jacksonville Jaguars,

342
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: and he has been really really good and the Jacks

343
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: can throw a number of different combinations at the tackles.

344
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: Laramie did not play in the Week three matchup, but

345
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: Laramie has been playing some really good football. There were

346
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: a couple of there were a couple of a couple

347
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: of warts from the game against the Cardinals. But Jeremy

348
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: Larereomy being from Lake City, which he went to Lake

349
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 4: City Columbia High School, I know the area pretty well obviously, and.

350
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: So he's about forty five minutes for Jacksonville.

351
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: So the game against jackson always means a little something,

352
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: especially the one Duval County. But that said, not playing

353
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: in it, he's gonna be I think amped up. Obviously,

354
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 4: his team is amped up. You know, he and Titus

355
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: are you know, Sean Weeks and John weeks and then

356
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: there's Laramie Tonsille and Titus Howard. Is only three that

357
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: I can remember from the twenty nineteen team that ended

358
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: up winning AFC South and going to Division on the playoff.

359
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: They're the only ones.

360
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: Well, Kaymie, yeah, yeah, I meant taking a field, but

361
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 4: you're right, Kymie. So two specialists and two offensive linemen.

362
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: So I would imagine that this game means a little

363
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 4: something to those guys, like, hey man, let's get this

364
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 4: back to where it was.

365
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: You know, we're on the way.

366
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: And you could kind of sense when you know, just

367
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, standing around and kind of chat

368
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: with him after the game in the locker room, he

369
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: could tell that, you know, there's just a different hop

370
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 4: in their step. And I think especially for Laramy going

371
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 4: against Josh Allen, going against Trayvon Walker, going against the

372
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 4: good edge rushers the Jaguars have. For the Texans to

373
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 4: walk out of there with a win, I think Laramy

374
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 4: has got to be at his Pro Bowl level. He's

375
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: got to be at his all pro level, and I

376
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: think he's been there for most of the year. He's

377
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 4: got to be there for a full sixty minutes against

378
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 4: those guys, because those guys con wreck the game, Josh

379
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: Allen in particular, and so Laramy's got to be He's

380
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: got to be on point. And I think what that

381
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: also will do. And I've said this before. Once Laramie

382
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 4: came back, it really opened things up for Dalton Schultz

383
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 4: because Dalton didn't have to sit and block all day

384
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 4: in passes.

385
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: He could go out on routes.

386
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: He could get open, and he's shown that he can

387
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: get open against anybody, against any coverage, anytime, anywhere. So

388
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 4: you are allowed with Laramie playing the edge to let

389
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 4: Dalton get on through routes, to let Brevin Jory get

390
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 4: out in the routes. You know Brev had a touchdown

391
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 4: against these guys last time, so you know, maybe the

392
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 4: tight ends. Can you get a little bit more action

393
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: in this game as a result of Laramie playing left tackle.

394
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: How about you? Who's your cream of the Crapper?

395
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: Before I get into my cream of the cropper, I

396
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: want to follow up on something you just said. You

397
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: brought up Laramie and the other guys from the nineteen squad.

398
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: There so few of them. I don't talk with Laramie

399
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: as much. I talk with Titus a little bit more

400
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: and I know, I know he echoes what you just

401
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 2: talked about. How hey, it feels different again. Texans are

402
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: good again. For him, it feels, you know, similar to

403
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, and it's exciting for me. This feels more

404
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: like twenty eleven in twenty twelve, just based on the

405
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: way they're winning, the likability all up and down. It

406
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: feels a lot like those teams, the less the eleven

407
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: team in particular, because they weren't supposed to be there either.

408
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: They had had a losing record the year before coming

409
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: off the lockout. You know, there weren't really high expectations.

410
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: And this feels very, very similar and to Miko's involved.

411
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's a pretty fun time around here,

412
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: and it's hearkening back to the old days. But as

413
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: for me, my cream of the cropper, the cream of

414
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: the crop, thank you, macho man. I'm gonna go with

415
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: Blake Cashman. Now. I don't know that he's gonna have

416
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: nineteen tackles. I don't know that he's gonna have fifteen tackles.

417
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna have twenty two tackles. Yeah,

418
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: but he was the AFC defensive Player of the Week

419
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: when these two teams met last I think he's probably

420
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: gonna get a chance to move back to the strong

421
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: side linebacker position. Not I have to play the mic

422
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: like he did Sunday, played it at great. But he's

423
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: been focused on the strong sideloinbacker position, and I just

424
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: think he's he's gonna have a chance to get frisky,

425
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: get after the ball, come up with some takeaways like

426
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: he did in the last one he had too, he

427
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: had a pick and a funnel recovery. And I just

428
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: think he's been a difference maker and been such a

429
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: breath of fresh air on the that side of the ball.

430
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: And there are many on that side of the ball.

431
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna pick Blake Cashman just in the middle,

432
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: screwing around with things, messing around with Evan Ingram the

433
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: tight end, maybe getting after Eatn the running back, because

434
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: that guy, that guy, when he runs it against the Texans,

435
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: he runs it pretty well.

436
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 4: I don't think he's can give him the ball enough. Again,

437
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 4: I don't like him, Yeah, I don't. I don't like him,

438
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 4: and I think one of the things that.

439
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: I'm they don't they don't play him more or not

440
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: play him, But give him the ball more against the Texans.

441
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, well one it helped us.

442
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: Helped us in week three was we got out to

443
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: seventeen to nothing lead, right, and so you don't you

444
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: don't bleep, can your your game playing totally? But after

445
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: Andrew Beck runs it back, it's now twenty four to ten.

446
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: Yep.

447
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: Now you got to put it aside in your middle

448
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 4: of the third quarter. Yeah, and so I know they

449
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: can find ways to keep etn involved. And the last

450
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 4: time E ten was here, he he went nuts and

451
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 4: then he didn't even play in the second half. I

452
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: mean it was a total slap in the face, like, hey,

453
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: we're so good right now that we're not even gonna

454
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 4: play our star running back.

455
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks.

456
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: There's a lot of disrespectful stuff that happened to the

457
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: Texans last year. I can't remember who it was, but

458
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: somebody I can't remember which team it was. It was

459
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: in December November, but they didn't they didn't throw the

460
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 2: ball at one. I think it was a Titans. They

461
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: didn't throw the ball.

462
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a Titans year.

463
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: Possessions or three possessions in a row, and I don't

464
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: blame them. They shouldn't have but that's my cream of

465
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: the cropper, And I promise I was not picking Cashman

466
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: because he's next up on the podcast. But Cashman is

467
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: coming up.

468
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: On the podcast.

469
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: He begins by telling us or answering questions about some

470
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 2: weird superstitions. No, he does change his underwear on a

471
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 2: game by game basis. He's not like uh, Mahomes. But anyways,

472
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: I'm not going to spoil anything more. But here is

473
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: our one on one with Blake Cashman linebacker Blake Cashman.

474
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: We recently heard in an interview that Patrick Mahomes has

475
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: worn the same pair of underwear or shorts before every game.

476
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: Give me weird things like that that you do.

477
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 7: It's funny you ask me that I don't, But I

478
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 7: have heard a lot of stories from different athletes and

479
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 7: different like I've heard the Derek Jeter one with the

480
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 7: when he was playing or was it what's his name,

481
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 7: Jason Giambo or something Jason Jiambi.

482
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 9: The bunch of guys in the Yankies. I heard they

483
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 9: wore like gold thong underwear. You ever heard that one?

484
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: I believe it.

485
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 7: I haven't heard it, but I do have a weird

486
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 7: one this year though. Time it's weird. But our socks

487
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 7: have left him right on him and I've been wearing

488
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 7: my right sock on my left foot, my left sock

489
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 7: on right foot.

490
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: What's that do for you?

491
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 7: I just it's something I noticed, like after I think

492
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 7: the Jacksonville game, which I thought I played a good game,

493
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 7: so you know, I am.

494
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 9: I can be superstitious.

495
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 7: So I was like, yeah, just I'll just keep it

496
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 7: rolling for the rest of the year.

497
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 2: It's working, man, It's I like it. Keep it up,

498
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: you know, you bring that up. The locker room is

499
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: an interesting place, like with the bins of equipment and

500
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So speaking of the locker room, when

501
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: you guys roll in on game day, you walk in

502
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: the locker room, what's the very first thing that you do.

503
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 7: When I get in the locker room, I really just

504
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 7: walked through the locker room because I go right to

505
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 7: the cap tire.

506
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: I eat, OK.

507
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 7: But then when I come back, I get changed and

508
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 7: I started getting into my routine, which is usually like

509
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 7: soft tissue work, mobility, stretching, and then after that I

510
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 7: get rolling onto the field.

511
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 9: And start, you know, my warm up before the warm up.

512
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you go through the warm before the warm

513
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: up you do the warm up to come back in.

514
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: What's the last thing you do in the locker room

515
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 2: before you go out to take the field on a

516
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: game day?

517
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 7: Watch ray Lewis like hype tape all right, and I've

518
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 7: been watching. I guess that's something too. I could have

519
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 7: added something I'm superstitious about. I've been doing that since

520
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 7: my junior year of high school.

521
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 9: Yes, the same.

522
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: I know you've told me that one before. That's that's

523
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: cool to hear. Yeah, so you keep doing it. You

524
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: haven't stopped doing it. Keep it up, man. Okay. What's

525
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: the most overrated Thanksgiving side dish?

526
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 9: Stuffing? Okay? Because sushy?

527
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I just feel like it's sometimes it's

528
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 7: too most of them it's too dry. I know sometimes

529
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 7: people put it like a lot of cranberry or something

530
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 7: in there to make it sweeter.

531
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

532
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 7: I just feel like it's always it's it's always very different,

533
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 7: and usually I'm left disappointed.

534
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: What's your go to side dish? The like sweet potato

535
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: or yamskay with the marshmallow on top. Kind of sweet,

536
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: but it's part of the non dessert.

537
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 9: Yes, OK, it's fantastic.

538
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: You're number fifty three. How come why are you number

539
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: fifty three?

540
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 7: First number I had my rookie year when I was

541
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 7: with the Jets, and I think it was between fifty

542
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 7: three fifty six and like forty six or no, no,

543
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 7: forty eight. I think I just like fifty three best

544
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 7: out of them and kind of want to do the

545
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 7: same thing I did in tall.

546
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 9: I was giving the number thirty six in college. It

547
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 9: wasn't a fan of it, but it grew on me.

548
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I was like, hey, this is my number,

549
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 7: and yeah, kind of regardless of if I like it

550
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 7: or not, I kind of wanted to make a name

551
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 7: for that number.

552
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: Well that's good man, that's good. Person who makes you

553
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: laugh the most is it doesn't have to be a teammate.

554
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: It could be anybody in the world.

555
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 9: I'd probably say one of my high school buddies.

556
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 7: Really a childhood guy who I've been friends with since

557
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 7: I was like six years old, So I think of

558
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 7: him as like really my own brother family. But you know,

559
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 7: we know everything there is about each other, so you know,

560
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 7: he can make me laugh just very just kind of

561
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 7: a silly, goofy guy, sarcastic, but he's really big into

562
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 7: film and comedy and all that. So I think he

563
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 7: just has a bank in his memory of a lot

564
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 7: of funny jokes.

565
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: Hit you with that. Yeah, last week we had Noah

566
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 2: Brown in here. He had one of his best friends

567
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: from growing up to say this basically similar type of

568
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: story to you. Do you take your shoes off when

569
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: you're ever on an airplane?

570
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 9: Absolutely not?

571
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: What do you think of people who do that?

572
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 7: It disturbs me a little bit, And be honest, I

573
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 7: really feel like if you're in public, unless.

574
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 9: You're like at the beach or something, you should have

575
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 9: your feet covered.

576
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 7: But on an airplane, it's just it's two of a space. Yeah,

577
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 7: So if you're taking your shoes off and trying to

578
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 7: air those dogs out, like nobody's trying to smell some

579
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 7: sweaty socks with his feet Like, that's that's where like

580
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 7: people like you gotta have awareness when you're around people

581
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 7: in public, Gotta be awared, Like, hey, I gotta watch out,

582
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 7: take care of me and my business. So I'm not

583
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 7: disturbing you know, somebody else, It's just the way I operate.

584
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: You hear that, Be aware, Blake Cashman, if you're traveling

585
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: near him, he's gonna be looking out for you. What's

586
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 2: the first animal you would put on the arc if

587
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: you had the arc and the flood was coming.

588
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,200

592
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600

00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: stuff when you come on.

624
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 9: Thank you appreciate it.

625
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: Good stuff there from Blake Cashman. Thanks so much to

626
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: number fifty three. I think he's gonna have a huge

627
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Jaguars. Now it's time to hear from

628
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 2: our old Pale with Jacksonville JP Shadrick. Here's our conversation,

629
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: our behind enemy sidelines chit chat about the game this weekend.

630
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: I always love talking with JP Shadrick. I don't get

631
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: to do it enough, but the guy has and we

632
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: all talk about this here in the building. Me Mark Vandermier,

633
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: John Harrison or good pal Deep City as well, she's

634
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 2: not in the building anymore. But anyways, we always talk

635
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: about JP. Shadrick has the best pipes and we all

636
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: have our own JP Shadwick impersonation. But JP, how the

637
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: hell are you, my friend?

638
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 5: I'm well, you're not deep.

639
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: I'm not deep, Sadly, I'm not absolutely positively not deep.

640
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: I missed Deep. She's my sister.

641
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 7: We all do.

642
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 5: It's great to talk with you though, too, it really is.

643
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 5: And we're doing well. Man. The Jags are in first place.

644
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah for now, I mean, we'll see.

645
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 8: This is a who would have thought at the start

646
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 8: of the season that the Texans Jaguars matchup could be

647
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 8: the pivotal game in the AFC South race here in

648
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 8: twenty twenty three. I never would have imagined that on

649
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 8: Thanksgiving weekend.

650
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: No, I thought, and I thought, like long ago this,

651
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, in this year, this calendar year. I thought

652
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: Texans are going to be a lot better. But I

653
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 2: didn't know it'd be this good.

654
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 5: And it was.

655
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: This was before C. J. Stroud came along. But I thought,

656
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: this team's gonna be a lot better. But JP, think

657
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: about this, first time we've ever met, ever met, with

658
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: both teams above five hundred that's never happened in the matchup.

659
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: I know it's never happened in November December, and then

660
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: somebody said there was an ESPN graphic that it's never

661
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: happened in general. I mean, that's bananas, it really is.

662
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 5: And there's been just kind of ships in the night, right.

663
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 8: The Jaguars were pretty good in the early days of

664
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 8: the Texans, but the Texans weren't there yet, and then

665
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 8: the Texans got really good and the Jaguar stunk for

666
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 8: a long time. So now maybe this is what the

667
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 8: future of the AFC South will hold. And it happens

668
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 8: when you have a quarterback, and both teams have a quarterback.

669
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 8: Now it feels like and Stroud's ascension has gone quickly.

670
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 8: Trevor Lawrence has I think turned the corner certainly last

671
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 8: season at the end of the year, and there are

672
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 8: moments this year where you see him really taking steps

673
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 8: in the right direction again. And I don't think he's

674
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 8: hit his full stride yet either. So this could be

675
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 8: a decade long quarterback conversation in the division.

676
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And as far as the teams go this year,

677
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, they're mirror images of each other.

678
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: It's like the same thing to a degree. You've got,

679
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, the great quarterbacks. I think both head

680
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: coaches are very capable. They've been there and done that

681
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: to a different extent, They've got kind of that that

682
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: cachet in the locker room, you know, of being former players.

683
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: Both teams are tied and turnover differential, both teams have

684
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: some explosion at receiver. It's just odd all the similarities

685
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: that these two teams have, and they're both kind of

686
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: near the tippy top of their own division. You guys,

687
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: certainly the Jaguars are, and if the Texans were to win,

688
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: they would have that top slot for the next week

689
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: or so. But let's start with the quarterback, and let's

690
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: actually let's rewind. Let's start with the team overall. Since

691
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: the Texans won in Week three, this has been a

692
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: lights out Jags warts Jaguars team. One hiccup against the Niners,

693
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: but otherwise you've won every single game. What's changed or

694
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: what stayed the same with the Jags since that Week

695
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: three matchup in Jacksonville.

696
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 8: Well, what changed for the Jaguars right after that game

697
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 8: was the continent. They left and they went to London

698
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 8: for two weeks straight.

699
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: Nice reset got the.

700
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 8: Heck out of here for a little while. And I

701
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 8: think that's just what the doctor ordered for the Jaguars,

702
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 8: just to get away. Yeah, you can bring some family

703
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 8: and do all that whatever, but we're gonna travel together.

704
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 8: We're gonna stay out in the farm together, and we're

705
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 8: gonna practice together. And it's like training camp again. And

706
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 8: they kind of got back to basics a little bit.

707
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 8: I don't know if the whole camaraderie. They weren't singing

708
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 8: Kumbaya by the campfire or anything, but there's something to that.

709
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 8: And it worked, and they beat the Falcons and then

710
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 8: they beat the Bills, and all of a sudden they

711
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 8: were rolling and they come back stateside and you know,

712
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 8: at the end of it, they had won five straight

713
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 8: weeks in five different stadiums, in four different cities over

714
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 8: a seven time zone stretch. And I don't care what

715
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 8: kind of football team you are, that is really good

716
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 8: winning football and just doing it dis ways, the defense

717
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 8: found a way most weeks to get it done. The

718
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 8: offense had their moments right, but the defense really was

719
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 8: a big piece of this thing, taking the ball away

720
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 8: Trevor at key moments, you know, using his legs to

721
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 8: keep the chains moving if he needed to, even playing

722
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 8: through a knee injury on a short week on a

723
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 8: Thursday night in that stretch. So that's where you thought, Okay,

724
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 8: this is something different about this team. They are resilient,

725
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 8: as you said. Then they you know, the forty nine

726
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 8: ers come in here and give them a wake up

727
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 8: call again. But as has always been the case under

728
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 8: Doug Peterson, when the Jaguars get blown out, which they

729
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 8: have done now four times, ten points are more losses

730
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 8: under Doug Peterson. The next week after that loss, therefore,

731
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 8: and oh they come back, they win, They find a way,

732
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 8: and they did it last week. So now they're poised

733
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 8: and they've got the leadership to do it on the

734
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 8: in the locker room and certainly in the coaching staff.

735
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me more about that leadership with Trevor Lawrence.

736
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: Take the football stuff out of it. What do you

737
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: see in that regard as far as who he is

738
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: is farts commanding troops so to speak with the air

739
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: quot sir, Well, you.

740
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 5: Know, we have, as you guys do.

741
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 8: There's a lot of former players around that do things

742
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 8: for US analysts and such, and they always say, you know,

743
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 8: leadership only goes as far as how good you are.

744
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 8: You know, if you if you're a bad player, you're

745
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 8: probably not going to get listened to too much.

746
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 5: So so Trever, he is playing.

747
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 8: Pretty well right and he has the command of the offense,

748
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 8: and the wide receivers loved him. The offensive line loves it. Heck,

749
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 8: the defensive guys I think love him too. To ask

750
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 8: Josh Allen about it. They know what he can be

751
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 8: and they've seen it happen before, so that's one thing

752
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 8: he can play.

753
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: But he just has the.

754
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 8: Pulse of that locker room and he has the ear

755
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 8: of the coaching staff and that conversation too. The coaching

756
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 8: staff with the quarterback is fantastic. And Trevor just kind

757
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 8: of gets this whole environment around Jacksonville. He's a smaller

758
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 8: town guy. He understands he's not a big, bright lights,

759
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 8: big city persona and may not believe that on social media,

760
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 8: but he's just he's just not.

761
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 5: For example, like he gets it.

762
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 8: Like after the win last week, he comes in on

763
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 8: Monday and he and his wife buy the whole front

764
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 8: office waffle house.

765
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: So jealous.

766
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 8: It's like why well, because why not? Because they helped

767
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 8: pack the stadium, we get it, and he came over

768
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 8: and said, hid all the ticketing people and everything and

769
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 8: it went back to work and did his thing. So

770
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 8: he's perfect for this city. He's perfect for this organization.

771
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 8: And if the play continues at this pace, I think

772
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 8: he's gonna be great on the field as well.

773
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the guys he's throwing to, it's kind of interesting.

774
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 2: There's a different player leading the Jags in receptions, there's

775
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: a different player leading him in yards receiving, and there's

776
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: a different player leading him in touchdown catches. Texans had

777
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: that same thing going last weekend. That's jiggled, but he's

778
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: spreading the ball around. It looks like just externally, am

779
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: I right on that is? I mean, what's what are

780
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: you seeing? Well?

781
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 5: Zay Jones has been out of the lineup a lot

782
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 5: this year.

783
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 8: He's had a knee injury and it's missed a lot

784
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 8: of time and that really changes the dynamic of the

785
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 8: offense when he's in there. He was back last week,

786
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 8: so that opened up Calvin Ridley on the other side.

787
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 8: They couldn't really double him as much, so Ridley all

788
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 8: of a sudden was running open and Trever had time

789
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 8: the offensive line stood up tall and gave him time

790
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 8: to push it down the field. It'd been really a

791
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 8: horizontal feel early in the season. Yeah, short passes, get

792
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 8: it out fast, don't get him hit, you know, but

793
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 8: last week was when they kind of turned it on.

794
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 8: So it can be Christian Kirk if they need some

795
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 8: catching run ability in the middle. Evan Ingram having a

796
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 8: fantastic season, even though he hasn't found the end zone yet.

797
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 8: It's like the first tight end ever to have fifty

798
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 8: plus catches and no touchdowns, Like it's crazy what he's doing.

799
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 8: And then you've got Ridley of course. And then when

800
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 8: Jay Jones is right, you got your complete arsenal. Don't

801
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 8: forget about Travis Etn, who can run effectively. They haven't

802
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 8: been truly consistent in the running game overall as a

803
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 8: team this year, but Etn this guy that can turn

804
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 8: it on in a moment's notice. So if Jay Jones

805
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 8: is right coming off last week's game, which all indications

806
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 8: are he felt pretty good coming out of the game, Okay,

807
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 8: this is the full arsenal, and you might get a

808
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 8: different guy every single week. You might not have that

809
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 8: fourteen hundred yard one receiver with twelve touchdown. They're gonna

810
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 8: spread the wealth and they don't care, and they've said

811
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: going into the year they won't care. You don't always

812
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 8: buy that with the receivers because you know how they are.

813
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 8: But so far, so good, because they're winning, and that's

814
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 8: what everybody here wants to do.

815
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: Talking with her good friend JP Shadwick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jp,

816
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 2: you just touched on something there the run game in

817
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: travesy tn Man. Every time, every time he touched the

818
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: ball against the Texans, it seems like really really good

819
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: things happen. And I don't know why he doesn't touch

820
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: the ball more against Houston nelt on the whole. What

821
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: do you make of this, this Jaguars run game and

822
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: where it's going, where it's been.

823
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, Travis has really taking a step of the right

824
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 8: direction this year. Last year was his first year on

825
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 8: the field. He had missed his whole rookie season with

826
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 8: the list frank foot injury that he suffered in training

827
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 8: Camper in the preseason game. So last year was his

828
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 8: first time out there and he was just getting blasted

829
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 8: like he would he would give away where he was going.

830
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 8: He wasn't squaring his shoulder all of a sudden, he'd

831
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 8: hit a hole and like head over heels every single

832
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 8: time he got hit, it felt like Well this year,

833
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 8: this offseason, he approached it a little differently. And Bernie Parmally,

834
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 8: the running back coach, a longtime NFL player, has a

835
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 8: big key in this of the pre snap approach before

836
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 8: you even get the football on your belly, like what

837
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 8: are you doing to give away yourself or what are

838
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 8: you doing to give yourself the best opportunity to see

839
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 8: the whole field. So he's working on squaring his shoulders.

840
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 8: He's done a great job of that all year. It

841
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 8: opens up all windows in front of you. You can

842
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 8: see every hole that's there or not there, and you

843
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 8: don't give away which way you're running.

844
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 5: If you can do that.

845
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 8: So if you lean left, the defense is going to

846
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 8: go that way. So he's done a great job of that.

847
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 8: He's running through the hole and not just to it,

848
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 8: not kind of stuttering to the hole. So he's running

849
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 8: with a little more authority this year and breaking tackles

850
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 8: and that's the style I think they like, and Travis

851
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 8: has been great on that. They're unblocking spine. I mean,

852
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 8: they've got good blocking tight ends, and they've got an

853
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 8: offensive line that you know, at key points can get

854
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 8: after it.

855
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 5: So that combined has been okay.

856
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 8: I think as a whole they need some better production

857
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 8: behind him, though, Tank Bigsby's put the ball in the

858
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 8: deck a few times. The draft pick at Auburn they

859
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 8: got to Ernest Johnson a few years into the league.

860
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 5: Now, who's starting to step up. So that's the state

861
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: of the run game.

862
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: Hey, and over on the other side of the ball,

863
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: nobody in the NFL is getting more takeaways than the

864
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: Jaguars defense. They got twenty so far, and they're, like

865
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: I mentioned at the outset, tied with the Texans about

866
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 2: ninth place. Turnover differential plus three on the year, but

867
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: twenty takeaways. What's going on over there?

868
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 8: Well, I mean they're just being opportunistic. I don't know

869
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 8: if they're necessarily a great pace of getting to the

870
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 8: quarterback and things. Josh Allens had a good year, right,

871
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 8: but they're just getting their hands on the football. They've

872
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 8: got good solid play. They were a good tackling group

873
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 8: as a defense overall, and they're good against the run,

874
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 8: really good against the run.

875
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 5: And that's what they'll tell you.

876
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 8: Their number one priority is stop the run, set up

877
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 8: the third and longer, and that's worked out for them.

878
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 8: You know, that's really been the formula. They're not a

879
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 8: superstar defense, but they are taking the ball away because

880
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 8: of the down and distance and managing the game and

881
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 8: that's what they do. That's really what it is. And

882
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 8: they spread the wealth there too. Now it's not like

883
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 8: everybody somebody has like six or seven picks. I mean,

884
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 8: you've got Cisco doing it, you got Fourie Luikin doing it.

885
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 8: Devin Lloyd's had his hands on some footballs this year

886
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 8: he hasn't been able to bring in. They're getting some

887
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 8: force fumbles. I mean, it is a full collective effort

888
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 8: on defense. And I don't know if it's the no

889
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 8: name defense. There are a couple of names you know here,

890
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 8: but pretty darn close because they do spread it out

891
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 8: so much.

892
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: Is it true? I saw a tweet I think it

893
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: was Week one, and is this true? When Cisco got that,

894
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 2: you get maybe a pick six or at least a pick.

895
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 2: They played Cisco's the Thong song at the stadium when

896
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: that happened. Is that true.

897
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 8: I'm in the studio. I don't know what goes on

898
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 8: out there. What I don't know, you know, but you

899
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 8: should be a DJ because you have the mindset to

900
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 8: think about songs like that.

901
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: I could say, I'm just reading Twitter, dude, I'm not.

902
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: I don't have the or whatever X it's called. But

903
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 2: he brought the run defense. They were solid against the

904
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: Texans the last time. The Texans the last two weeks

905
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 2: about one hundred yards of the ground and they've done

906
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: so against I think leakier run defenses. You guys are

907
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 2: not a leaky run defense. And I think it's gonna

908
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: be fascinating because the Texans have had those two games

909
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 2: that have been pretty solid. It's been with Devin Singletary

910
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 2: because Damian Pierce has been on the bench. Looks like

911
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: there's a really good chance Pierce's back because he practiced

912
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: on a limited basis Friday. They made him an active Sunday.

913
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: But all signs pointing to both backs being back. What

914
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: do you make of that matchup? Because perhaps the Texans

915
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: are getting better in the run, But you guys, as

916
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 2: a defense, the Jaguars is a defense really really stout.

917
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 8: Starts up front for the Jaguars right fully fought of

918
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 8: Coosi's healthy now. You know, he missed a lot last year,

919
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 8: but he's settled in now. He's playing really big. Roy

920
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 8: Robertson Harris big stout can just set the edge and

921
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 8: do things on the defensive line. He's fantastic this year.

922
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 8: The question is Devon Hamilton. He's missed a lot of

923
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 8: time the big nose tackle with a back injury in

924
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 8: training camp and just hasn't been out. There was an

925
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 8: act of a healthy scratch last week just to maybe

926
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 8: just sit him to the side and see if he

927
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 8: can get a little stronger for the stretch run. You

928
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 8: might see him back this week on the defensive line

929
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 8: as well. Josh Allen's been good against the run. Trey

930
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 8: Von Walker has been really good against the run. Big strong,

931
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 8: physical guys. Those are five guys on the front line right,

932
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden, the linebackers have time

933
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 8: to fly around. Foy Lucan just seems to have stamina

934
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 8: for the whole sixty minutes. I mean he is flying

935
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 8: around in the fourth quarter with two minutes to go

936
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 8: up by thirty, as he is in the first quarter

937
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 8: when it's nothing nothing, it's just what he does.

938
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 5: And then Devin Lloyd is a.

939
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 8: Year smarter and calmer, and he's always been a smart guy,

940
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 8: but it's just it's taken a little time to slow

941
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 8: the game down for him, and it's there.

942
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 5: He's all over the place.

943
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 8: And then the safeties aren't scared to come up and

944
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 8: support either now, and they'll use some three safety looks

945
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 8: sometimes with Andrew wingerd in there as the third guy.

946
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 8: He doesn't care. He'll come hit you. Ray Sean Jenkins

947
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 8: will come hit you and tell you about it. And

948
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 8: then Cisco if he needs to, can come up and

949
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 8: play too. So and the corners contribute. So it's a

950
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 8: full team defensive effort against the run. J P.

951
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 2: Shadrick, you've been there twelve years. How much fun are

952
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: you having right now? I mean with this team and

953
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 2: with this squad and the energy that it has. What's happened,

954
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 2: I mean, this.

955
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 8: Is what everybody's been waiting for. You know, this is

956
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 8: what you've been building towards. This is why you cover

957
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 8: the number one overall pick two years in a row,

958
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 8: and this is why you struggle with the fan base

959
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 8: through you know, fourteen lost seasons and six head coaches

960
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 8: in that timeframe, and you know one and done coaches

961
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 8: and not even one and done coaches. Thirteen games and

962
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 8: done coaches, and all the misery that has come with that,

963
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 8: getting blasted by the Texans all the time. I mean,

964
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 8: that's that sucks. And now maybe they've turned the corner, right,

965
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 8: that's the question. And they made the great epic run

966
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 8: last season. We'll never see it something like that again.

967
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 8: It was so unexpected and the way they had to

968
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 8: come back every week. But now they've got the head

969
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 8: coach in place, the quarterbacks in place, they've got playmakers,

970
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 8: they've got defensive guys, they like they're playing well together.

971
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 8: All right, let's uh, this is what it's supposed to

972
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 8: feel like. This is a normal NFL football, right, This

973
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 8: is what people This is five hundred football, and the

974
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 8: Jaguars have been far from five hundred, way below for

975
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 8: a long time. It's a league built on parody for

976
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 8: you know, nine and eight, eight and nine in that ballpark.

977
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 5: And if you're better than that, great, If you're lower than.

978
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 8: That, you shouldn't be that low. James has been that

979
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 8: low for a long time. They're in the hunt, they're

980
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 8: in the mix. Fans are always going to want more,

981
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 8: It's how fans are. But I think you've got to

982
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 8: remember where this team has come from. And yeah, it's

983
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 8: a really good place to be right now here in Jacksonville.

984
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: Well, I don't get to talk to you too much,

985
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: but when I do, I always enjoy it, and I

986
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: am very, very happy that you're in such a good situation.

987
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: The Jaguars are good now. We want to beat you

988
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 2: guys on Sunday, but it's good to see you at

989
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: the tip top of the division. And you're going to

990
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 2: be a Michigander for the next few days. JP's going

991
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: to be calling the action of the Lions and the

992
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 2: Packers Packers at Lions Thanksgiving morning on Westwood One Radio.

993
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: So if you're driving around or you got the radio

994
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 2: on in the backyard while you're playing a little turkey bowl,

995
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 2: JP's going to be calling the action with those deep

996
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: pipes of his. And then you're flipping around and you

997
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: got the big game in ann Arbor, Ohio State and

998
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: the Michigan Wolverines. It's gonna be a fun one. Are

999
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: you Are you ready? Have you been pacing yourself? It's

1000
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: a big double dip right there.

1001
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 5: Man, Yeah, we're getting ready.

1002
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 8: I mean it's gonna be filled all the way to

1003
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 8: the brim until the toe hits leather on Thursday on

1004
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 8: Thanksgiving and then turn it back around again the next day,

1005
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 8: and I have to get ready for the game, and yeah,

1006
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 8: it's it's a dream assignment, really is. I mean, the

1007
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 8: Jaguars are the only team to never have played on Thanksgiving.

1008
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: Day, by the way, so is right? Is that right?

1009
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 8: I've never been able to cover a Thanksgiving game because

1010
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 8: of that. They are the only team in the NFL.

1011
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 2: So that's got to change sometimes soon, I would imagine, right, Well,

1012
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: if the only.

1013
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 8: Way it can change in theory in the past has

1014
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 8: been if you play the Lions with the Cowboys. But

1015
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 8: now you've got to be also be good. You can

1016
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 8: play on the prime time game if you're that good.

1017
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 8: They haven't been any of those, so that's why I

1018
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 8: have it. So the Thanksgiving game, I mean, obviously it's

1019
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 8: just a massive audience and it's a traditional day in Detroit,

1020
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 8: and I am so excited for the whole pregame, Turkey

1021
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 8: leg and everything that comes with that, and the Lions

1022
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 8: are relevant, and man, what a scene that should be Thursday.

1023
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 8: And then I mean, for the second straight year, Ohio

1024
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 8: State and Michigan both undefeated. I had that game last

1025
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 8: year too at the Horseshoe in Columbus, and now we

1026
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 8: get to go to the big house Jim Harbaugh.

1027
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 5: Stuff going on.

1028
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 8: I mean, this is I don't know if it's the

1029
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 8: mother of all Michigan Ohio State games, because there was

1030
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 8: a one versus two back in the mid two thousands, right,

1031
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 8: pretty darn close.

1032
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 5: This is this play. They might tear the place down.

1033
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 2: Now you're a professional and you're gonna call the action.

1034
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna do a great job of it. You're gonna

1035
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: be focused and everything. But do you have, like, is

1036
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: there a sliver of your brain that gets to soak

1037
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: it in as well and realize like, oh my gosh,

1038
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: this is what I've dreamed about doing for so long.

1039
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 2: And do you get to kind of bathe in a

1040
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 2: little bit of the just the awesomeness that you're experiencing.

1041
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 5: Well, I mean yeah, but up to a certain point.

1042
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 8: I mean, once the once the ball is on the tee,

1043
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 8: you better put that out of your mind because the

1044
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 8: football comes fast and furious. But you know, walking around

1045
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 8: the stadium beforehand and you're thinking about it and yeah,

1046
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 8: you know, yeah, it's I get it. Man, it's I'm

1047
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 8: very fortunate to be doing what I'm doing. There's no

1048
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 8: doubt about that. I Mean everybody always talks about, you know,

1049
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 8: a get to job, and this is a get to job,

1050
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 8: not a got to I mean, this is Exkesey kidding me.

1051
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 8: Football and Thanksgiving. I was watching it anyway. Now I'm

1052
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 8: getting to go to the games and do them. I

1053
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 8: mean that's you can't ask for anything more. And I'm

1054
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 8: very very lucky.

1055
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. In twenty twelve, the Texans played on Thanksgiving

1056
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 2: at the at the Lions. Very good Texans team. They

1057
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: won that game. It was an overtime game. They finished

1058
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: that when the sun set on Thanksgiving Day, they were

1059
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: ten and one, which was you know, high times. But

1060
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: I rode on an l with Tim Allen, tool time,

1061
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: Tim Allen, Jim cavizl the guy who played Jesus Christ

1062
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 2: in that Mel Gibson movie. Kid Rock wore a mirrored jacket.

1063
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 2: And this was before Kid Rock was wading into the

1064
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: political area and getting you know, he had a lot

1065
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 2: more enemy a lot fewer enemies back then. But it's

1066
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: just it's an absolute carnival and it's going to be

1067
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: a fun time. I'm excited that you get to call

1068
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 2: it and I'll be listening. And JP, thank you very

1069

Speaker 2: much for the time. Happy Thanksgiving to you, and uh,

1070
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: let's see the Texans and Jags have a have one,

1071
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: maybe the first of many many classics here over the

1072
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 2: next decade or so. Sound good?

1073
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 8: What a game it should be, the Texans and the

1074
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,479
Speaker 8: Jaguars at NRG Stadium, first place on the line.

1075
