John will be here tomorrow 7 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: because I have a speaking engagement. So today it's just 8 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: you and me, kid, you're ready. I'm ready, John and I. Yeah, 9 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: Well it's not just John and you. You've got a 10 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: special guest tomorrow too. Yes, Judy Batista, who's one of 11 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: the very best and she is based out of New York, 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: had covered the Giants when Tom was there, and so 13 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: we'll we'll have lots of insight. So big, big show tomorrow. 14 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: Until then, it's the first Wednesday of the regular season 15 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: and that matters. But hold that thought, because first we 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: have a Twitter pool for you this morning, and it 17 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: goes a little something like this. I put my glasses on, 18 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: which other matchup interests you on Sunday? Besides right, I mean, look, 19 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: that's that's the one that's getting all the oxygen. No 20 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: matter what Paul Dottino said yesterday. That's the one that 21 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: I think is going to have all of the attention 22 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: around it. But there are a couple of others that 23 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: are interesting. Um sae Kwon Barkley, the rookie from Penn 24 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,639 Speaker 1: State who had that one great run, just one thirty 25 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: nine yard run against Cleveland in the preseason. But you know, 26 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: look special. We can show it over and over everyone. 27 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: The linebackers are gonna have to be fast and quick. 28 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean they're going to have to be able to 29 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: catch that guy and powerful to bring him down because 30 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: he has no lightweight at all. So Telvin and Miles 31 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: against se Kwan Barkley. The next one is unique and 32 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: go Way versus Nate Solder, the highly paid left tackle 33 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: who came from the Patriots to protect Eli Manning as 34 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: the left tackle. Now, he won't always be matched up 35 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: against him, but unique if he had trouble against anyone 36 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: last year, and he didn't have much trouble, but when 37 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: he struggled, it was in the a f C Championship game. 38 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: Because Solder is so big almost six ft nine, massive, 39 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: great length, So he's a guy that even if he 40 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: gets beat by the first move, and a lot of 41 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: guys do when they're facing nine one. He's got the 42 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: length of arm and the size of hand to be 43 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: able to redirect and get back. And so Unique who 44 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: worked on a couple of different moves with von Miller 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: and Crew. He's gonna need him against Nate Solder. And 46 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: then the other one is a defensive one, and that's 47 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: the two guys in the middle against Eli Manning. Look, 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: Eli Manning is not a mobile quarterback. He's not a 49 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: guy that gets outside the pocket hardly at all. He's 50 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: very patient and will stand in the pocket. So what 51 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: do you do to that guy? You push the pocket 52 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: pressure yep, and that you don't pressure, You're gonna pressure 53 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: from the outside, but he'll step up into the pocket, 54 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: which means you can't have a pocket there. That's on 55 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: Malie Jackson and Marcel Darius. So which of the other 56 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: matchups interests you on Sunday? Those are three really good ones, 57 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: and of course there's always the option to comment with 58 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: another interesting to see what everyone else thinks. Which one 59 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: do you think? I like the linebackers, and I think 60 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: Miles jack and Talvin Smith quicknesses their asset. So I 61 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna have a problem with that matchup, 62 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: but that's probably the next matchup I'm looking at. Besides 63 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: the obvious with Odell, it's very difficult to run against 64 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: this team when those two are playing well. Barkley, a 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: two and thirty pounds is a very difficult back to 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: bring down. I mean that is strength on strength. So 67 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: we'll see. Plus, don't forget if there's another key to that, 68 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: it's that they went and rebuilt the offensive line. They 69 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: probably will Hernandez the big offensive guard from you, tip Um, 70 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: when they describe you as a road grader at guard, 71 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: you must be pretty good. So he's a guy. Now 72 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: he's going to face Marcel Darius, he's going to see 73 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: Jackson Abrick Jones um. And he's a rookie, right, He's big. 74 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: He's a massive, massive guy. Remember us talking about him 75 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: draft talk? Yeah, very big all right, time for that's 76 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: our twitter powl is okay, So time for big things? Yes, 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: big thing. One is Wednesday. This is the official first 78 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: start of the regular season, the first game week, so 79 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: Monday was a holiday. Tuesday's as players days off. Today 80 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: is the day everyone's back in the building game prep 81 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: for the Giants begins a full practice and the Jaguars 82 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: are setting the tone today and for the regular season. 83 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: You're going to have Dug Moro own availability, and then 84 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Blake Boardles and Telvin Smith, two captains starting off the 85 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: regular season game weeks. When you say availability for those 86 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: people who are not broadcast professionals and I forget, it 87 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: means they're going to talk. They're going to shed some 88 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: insight onto the Giants. Although this is really the first 89 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: day that these guys see the Giants, right, They were 90 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: here Monday, but Monday was working on what they're all about. 91 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: Tuesday is game planning day during the National Football League 92 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: work week, so it's the big day where the coaches 93 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: grind all day on the opponent. And then this morning, 94 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: in a meeting that probably started about fifteen minutes ago, 95 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: maybe a little longer ago. Uh, they lay out the 96 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: game plan, right, so they start offense, defense, special teams. 97 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: After Doug addresses the team. So Doug talks and we're 98 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: carrying that live, right, we are, right, and then this 99 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: afternoon we will have for you Blake Bortles and Telvin Smith, 100 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: both captains, both guys who are being counted on to 101 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: have big seasons and both guys who Blake can be 102 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: a little dry sometimes and he's not well, he's not 103 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: you feel me like telvin is Um. But both of 104 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: them are a candid So it should be a fun 105 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: time today to get in on those guys and really, look, 106 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: we talked about Monday being the first day, but today 107 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: is really the first day. Tomorrow's the day where all 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: the stories come out, right, because it's the first time 109 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: that players and media are to either in the locker room. 110 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: They'll be talking about storylines and they talk about matchups. 111 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: Then tomorrow you'll open up. You don't put the paper anymore. 112 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,559 Speaker 1: You open up your your laptop, your mac book, your phone, uh, 113 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: and the headlines will will come from today. So today 114 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: is that first really big day of the work week. 115 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: They'll be out on the practice field grinding. You only 116 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: get fourteen fully padded practices from here on out, so 117 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how Doug Marone uses those. 118 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: I would think today would be a padded practice, fully 119 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: padded practice, because you know what the giants, it's about 120 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: tone setting. They're going to run the ball and he's 121 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: gonna want this to be a really efficient and get 122 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: a lot of things done with this practice without a doubt. 123 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: All Right, big thing too is offensive line. We know 124 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: that this running game is the key to a successful 125 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: season and the key to winning games. So we only 126 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: seen the offensive line together once and that was the 127 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: third preseason week against the Falcons, Andrenoil was hurt the 128 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: first two preseasons. Brandon Linder was hurt at the end 129 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: of the preseason, so this is really the first time 130 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: that everyone is really healthy as an offensive line and 131 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: working together. So really the only injury that the Jaguars 132 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: suffered in the preseason was Markisley, and you would think 133 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: that would have us talking about the receiving group. Plus 134 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson is in Chicago now so and Alan Herns 135 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: is in Dallas, so that trio receivers, the Allen's and 136 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Marquees had been It's hard to say bedrock because really 137 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: the passing game with the three of them never was whatever. 138 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: Um you know, I mean Allen's and Allen had a 139 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: big season, but that didn't result in winning. So you 140 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: think we talked about that group, but really it's this 141 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: group that we're focused on because they've got to be 142 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: able to create lanes for the running game. They've got 143 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: to be able to fulfill their potential for this team 144 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: to fulfill, it's because the team's personality is run the ball. 145 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: And last year, when they wanted to run the ball 146 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: the ten point lead in the fourth quarter, and I 147 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: know they're tired of hearing it, they couldn't. So they 148 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: went and spent the money on Andrew Norwell thirteen million 149 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: dollars a year for a guard. Right the year after 150 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: they gave Calais Campbell a thirty million dollar guarantee, they 151 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: give another thirty million. I mean they're putting the money 152 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: where their mouth is. They've got to be able to 153 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: run the ball this year, and that means they've got 154 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: to be able to use this guy and Brandon Linder. Now, 155 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that I think would be interesting, 156 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: Linda was always helping Patrick Omama, who ironically will be 157 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: starting for the Giants. Don't think the Jaguars aren't focused 158 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: on that. Somewhat um maybe a lot, but Norwell should 159 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: handle his own business. A j can looked like he 160 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: could handle his own business based on the preseason, which 161 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: means Lenda gets to do what Lender does. And this 162 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: week Linda gets Damon Harrison, whose nickname is snacks for 163 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: obvious reasons. It says he's three forty one. Come on, 164 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: when they list you at three forty one, they're telling 165 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: you he's well over three pounds, which means that Lynda 166 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: is going to have to be on his game. But 167 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: he said in the locker room when you spoke to him, 168 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: I'm healthy, I'm ready to go. And for Linda to 169 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: be positive in the locker room and want to speak 170 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: to the media means he must be feeling I think 171 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: it says a lot. Yeah, I think this is ready 172 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: to go and excited about the team. Now. Even asked him, hey, 173 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: are you excited because he's so even keeled, um, but 174 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: you could tell by the look in his eye that 175 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: he was so. The offensive line is really the group. Look, 176 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: we can look at the defensive side. It's they're a 177 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: little thin it linebacker, They've only got a couple of 178 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: guys they know. Yeah, but that's every team in the league, 179 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: right the secondary, the defensive line. Um, you know, we 180 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: know what Blake Bortles is, we know about the depth 181 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: that running back. I think we know what with the 182 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: tight end group is. The offensive line is right now, 183 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: they've got to be who this team thinks they are 184 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: in order for the team to do what it thinks 185 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: you can do. Right with this keys to winning? When 186 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: you're asking you know this week, what is the key 187 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: to winning? What do you want to see for the 188 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Jaguars to overcome the giants, You've automatically think running game. 189 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: You want to see that running and come out and 190 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: be so strong, and that includes the offensive line. Of course. 191 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: Now we could be wrong. They could decided to throw 192 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: the ball over the place, but I don't think they will. 193 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: We are wrong quite often and that's okay, alright, big 194 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: thing three matchups, so that's our Twitter fall matchups doesn't 195 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: really exist though, Are we blowing this up? Or blowing 196 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: up the Jalen Ramsey versus Odell Beckham match up? Really? 197 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: You gotta think about it. We haven't talked much it is. 198 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: I didn't get it until you pointed it out in 199 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: my camp. What's on his gloves? And then when he 200 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: pointed out that he has some sort of an endorsement 201 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: deal with Marvel or d C or whoever Batman is from, 202 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: he does. He is the Joker. He has Joker gloves, 203 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: Joker clicks. It is now confirmed he is the Joker. 204 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: So we haven't really talked much about that guy, a 205 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: J boy a Chillie Jackson did the other day. He did, 206 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he wants his shot. Yeah, we have 207 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: spent so much time talking and of course when Jalen 208 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: tends to tweet out it, it lets everybody know what 209 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: he expects on Sunday. But we don't know the defensive 210 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: game plan. And Malik pointed out yesterday, I'm sorry Monday 211 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: that that guy right there wants his shot at him 212 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: to UM Pro Bowl player should probably have been an 213 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: All Pro corner and he thinks he's more than up 214 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: to the task. We focus so much on Jalen and 215 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: whether Jalen will travel and go everywhere that O'Dell Beckham Jr. 216 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: Goes or whether they'll pass him off and let a 217 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: J carry him too. I don't know that the last 218 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: their nickel back to cover him. Maybe d J. Hayden 219 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: gets a couple of snaps against him as well. UM 220 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: Paul Doatino told us yesterday that they're really high on 221 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: the young receiver from Oklahoma, Sterling Shepherd. But let's be honest, 222 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd is not not you know, and he's not 223 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: going to get the attention of these other guys. And 224 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: you know that a J boy wants his snaps against 225 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Beckham because he likes the chance to prove himself against 226 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: the very absolutely. And the thing I love about a 227 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: J is he's never going to tweet that. He probably 228 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: won't say it much unless you directly ask. After the game, 229 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: he will, Yeah, that's the thing. The interesting part about 230 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: him is that he talks after the game. He doesn't 231 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: get into the hype and doesn't get into all the 232 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: trash talks before, but after the game he'll point out 233 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: what he thinks needs to be known. Yes, so today 234 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: after practice off the field, I'm going to interview him 235 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: and I'm of course going to ask that question, and 236 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: he probably won't say much about it, but that's telling 237 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: of a J boy. No, he will not say much 238 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: about it, except you can tell by looking in his 239 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: eyes that he wants to play absolutely as he should. 240 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: All Right, first block in the books, folks. When we 241 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: come back, we'll take a look at something that I 242 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: normally viscount, but in the last year or two I've 243 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: taken a great appreciation for hold on for a look 244 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: of power rankings.

There's a look at 262 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: today's schedule and will have all of this live for you, 263 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: starting with Doug Morone at ten forty Eastern time this 264 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: morning and followed by two of the captains, Kelvin Smith 265 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: and Blake or. You had an interesting conversation about captains 266 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: the other night on a radio shore you were on 267 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: right I did helmets and heels, and they were asking, 268 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: you know, I'm surprised that Malik Jackson or Jalen Ramsey 269 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: aren't captains, and I was saying, you know, it's an 270 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: NFL rule, but you can only have six. And when 271 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: you look at that list, who are you going to 272 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: take a captain spot away from to give it to Jackson? 273 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: He just came and the players talk about it being 274 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: an honor and it is, but there's no more money 275 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: in it, and professional football is about the money. Yes, Um, 276 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: they would be jockeying for it if there was a 277 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: bonus in their in their contract that said fifty dollars 278 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: for being named the team captain, but there's not so um. 279 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: And plus, look, Malik, he just he's going to be 280 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: himself captains. There's a decorum that comes with being a 281 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: captain as well, um, And Malik is going to be 282 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: Malik and Jalen is going to be Jalen. We were 283 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: talking to Calais Campbell dot Community event yesterday, and he 284 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: was talking about, you know, I've been a captain my entirely. 285 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: I've been a captain in high school. I've been a 286 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: captain in college. It never gets hold, though, he said. 287 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: And I do think he's being truthful when he says 288 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: that it is a to an honor to him that 289 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: these guys in the locker room voted for me to 290 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: represent this team. Absolutely all right, Um, so I don't 291 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: I you know, I'm not a big college football guy. Yeah, 292 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: I just it's not as good a game. I mean, 293 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: let's just say for what it is, it's just not 294 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: as entertaining as the pro game. And it shouldn't be. 295 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: You have thirty two teams here with fifty three players. 296 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: You have hundreds and thousands of college football players. But 297 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: we'll leave that on the line. Um. The reason I'm 298 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: really not is that the ranking system. I don't like 299 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: voting for who your champion is going to be right, 300 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: I never have. I always wanted to see a played 301 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: out on the field. So when power rankings came into 302 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: the NFL a few years ago, what are we doing 303 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: here that we don't want to be like college football? 304 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: We played on the field. Leave college to leave it 305 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: to the boys, the men they played on the field. Um, 306 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: although as different people got engaged and started doing power rankings, 307 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: I didn't read them for where they rank, because who cares. 308 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: But I did read them for the comments as to 309 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: why they were there, and that became interesting. So we're 310 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: gonna do something with it. We're still figuring out how 311 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: we're going to play this one, because do you really 312 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: need another power ranking on Tuesday? But this is Pete 313 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: Prisco and you all know Pete. He's on Happy Hour 314 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: on Mondays. And then you know, not a local guy anymore, 315 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: but has a local field to him. This was his 316 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: and and we're going to use his because well, Pete 317 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: has a biting, a serbic edge to him. Right, He's fun. Um, 318 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is back and number one. Right, find another 319 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: power ranking that has the Packers at number one. Right, 320 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: So let me just explain this one for those of 321 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: you don't know Pete. The Packers are coming in with 322 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: a brand new defensive coordinator. They've got a couple of 323 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: rookie cornerbacks who are going to step into play for 324 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: Mike Patton. They've reshuffled a bit on the defensive side. 325 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: The defense was a liability last year, but he puts 326 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: some number one because Aaron Rodgers is now well, he's back, 327 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: he's healthy, and he's paid and he's happy. And for Pete, 328 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: it's about the quarterback and it's about the money. So 329 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: to throw him up there like that is a really 330 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: strong point by Pete. He thinks the best quarterback in 331 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: the game. It's hard to argue with that. I mean, 332 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: you can look at Tom Brady and say five super Bowls, 333 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: but if you're looking at the guy who absolutely is 334 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: at the top of his game right now, Aaron Rodgers 335 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: goes right there to a lot of respect for the 336 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: local team from him. Pete was here during training camp, 337 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: and you know, Pete is never scared to take a 338 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: swing at what he believes, no matter what anybody else says. Um. 339 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: And he really thinks that this defense and this roster 340 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: is a bigger story than the quarterback. And the quarterback 341 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: was good enough last year, so we'll find out if 342 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: he is this year. Um. It's hard to argue with 343 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: any of those five teams. And so here's the thing 344 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: about power rankings. They create conversation. That's what you can 345 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: argue with. Well, that's it that's what they're about. They're 346 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: about creating a conversation. And as long as the teams 347 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: are generally in the area, so are the Jaguars the 348 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: top five team? Absolutely? Right now? The question that you 349 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: could ask is are the Falcons the top five team 350 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: based on where they were at the end of last 351 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: season or based on the moves that they made? So 352 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: he's got that one in there, but I think he 353 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: picked the Falcons to win tomorrow night. Did the Eagles 354 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: belong at number five champions power ranking their number one? Right? 355 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: So the key to a successful power ranking is not 356 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: getting the teams ranked correctly because it doesn't matter until 357 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: the end of the season, but getting the right mentality, 358 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: getting the right rationale for why they might belong there, 359 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: and and all five of those do right. Um? So 360 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: I kind of ranked and I put numbers next to them. 361 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: I had the Jaguars as the fifth best team, right um. 362 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: I had the Texans as twelve, the Titans is fourteen, 363 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: and I have the Colts. I think their defense is 364 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: going to be a major liability. Now Andrew Luck see here, Well, 365 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: here's the thought process though, with Andrew Luck comes out 366 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: and lights it up and they play the Bengals this week. Okay, well, 367 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: then I gotta move him up because then all of 368 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, Luck can carry this team against a pretty 369 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: talented Bengals group. Right. Um, But if Luck struggles at 370 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: all and they need that defense to I don't think 371 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: they can can that defense. Let me ask you who's 372 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: their best pass rush? Conference? Yeah, who's the pass rusher? 373 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: We were talking about it yesterday. You look down the 374 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: list they're in the division. You should be able to 375 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: tell me who's their pass rush. You don't know. I 376 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: don't know who's their best cover corner. I don't know. 377 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: That's a problem. Can you name one talented young star 378 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: on defense? Don't looking to come on? Lee Cooker there 379 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: the pick in the draft, the safety, the free safety 380 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: from Ohio State. But he didn't finish last year. So 381 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: it makes my point, and it's I'm not picking on you, 382 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: but that's the point. But but I could go down 383 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: the hallway and ask people in this building on the 384 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: non football side, right over on the business side. They 385 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't know. Nobody does. The cold Steen is going to 386 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: be bad bad? Um? Their offensive blind shoot better? Why 387 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: you have? Well? Yeah, and now again, if Luck comes out, 388 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: boom up they go, and I think that the Titans 389 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: could surpass the Texans because Marcus Mario to beat this 390 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: team and this defense twice last year. It's a bad 391 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: matchup for this team. He's just so subtle. Um and 392 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: if DeShawn Watson and j. J. Watt and Um Whitney 393 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: Merciless are not completely healthy, well, I mean they might 394 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: not be as good as everyone thinks they are. You know, 395 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: where's their running game come from? Where? How much better 396 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: is their offensive line? This year? They spent some time 397 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,239 Speaker 1: and attention, but did they really get the guys they 398 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: need to make them better? They've all got big questions. 399 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: The division, I think is an interesting one for us 400 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: to look at because we focus on it so much, 401 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: absolutely every week, and we always talk about the division, 402 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: and it seems like we really only mentioned three teams 403 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: for that obvious reason, about the Colts and the defense, 404 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: and really only focusing on Andrew Luck. Every time we 405 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 1: bring up the Colts, it's what's Luck doing? Is he healthy? 406 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: How is he playing? That's really the only conversation we have. 407 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: You know, the last couple of years, we could talk 408 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: about the division and we almost had to go, yeah, 409 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: it's not the best division because it hadn't been very good. 410 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, if everything flows right, if 411 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck comes back and we're moving them up that 412 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: chart on a weekly basis because he's that good. Um, 413 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: if DeShawn Watson is back and the defense is back, 414 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: then the Titans are what they were last year. Um, 415 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: it could be the best division of football without it out, 416 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: it could be the best division in football. And you 417 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: could see all of these teams climbing until they start 418 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: knocking each other off late in the year. Um, the 419 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: a C South is gonna be a fun division to 420 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: watch their ships. Whenever you hear people national media, people 421 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: that really aren't in the division talking about the a 422 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: f C South, you always hear the word close competition. 423 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: You don't really know. You can't really pick who's gonna 424 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: win the division because between the Titans, the Texans, the Jaguars, 425 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: and the Colts, you never really know who's gonna come 426 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: away with that. All Right, So there's a little stab 427 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: at power rankings. UM, climbing in my vision more valuable 428 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: than I thought. They were. Nothing against college football, but 429 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: ranking the teams. Yeah, but sentiment about why I'm really 430 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: interested in all right, coach. We take a break. There 431 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: is where Doug Marone, Telvin Smith, and Blake Bortles will 432 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: address the media and you live on jaguarys dot com 433 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: and YouTube and Facebook and probably Twitter later this afternoon 434 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: uh ten forty four Doug and times later Camford can't 435 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: remember off the top of my head for Talvin and 436 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: for Blake Porters, but we'll we'll update you that.

Now looking at comments, I 458 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: have a funny one here from Donovan Harris. The battle 459 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: in the heads of the CBS announcers trying not to 460 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: mention Tom Coughlin's ties to both clubs every five minutes. Well, 461 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: you can mention that a little bit. But Tom's not 462 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: talking this week. I mean he's maintaining a low profile. 463 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: He might have something to say on the plane ride home, 464 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: but he isn't going to sit with the CBS crew 465 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. He's not going to get in the 466 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: way of Doug Maron's team. No way. Uh. He's done 467 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: a really and look, I mean that was always his thing. 468 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: One voice he's done. Did I say CBS it's on Fox? 469 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: Um Donovan Harris. Yeah, Um, normally it's on CBS when 470 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: the a f C team goes in, but those those 471 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: rules have changed with crossing, we can't. Yeah, well, so 472 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: I should look it up. Um, he's not gonna sit 473 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: with the announcers. He's done a great job at sitting 474 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: back and letting Doug take the forefront and holding to 475 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: his long held belief of one voice. He's not going 476 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: to let it be the story. But again, those of 477 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: us who know him and have worked with him over 478 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: the years will attest to the fact that he wants 479 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: to win this game. Usual the video on Monday, but 480 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: I think pregame it'll definitely be mentioned. You got to 481 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: make the connection before they without it out, and they'll 482 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: make the connection early in the game, but they won't 483 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: have much to work with. Hey, did you know he 484 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: was in both places and way right? And I wouldn't 485 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: be surprised if he sits back from the window a 486 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: little bit, you know, or finds a place out of 487 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: the camera shot where he can I can always find 488 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: him against that class. They're very clever that way. Top 489 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: tweets all right, Top sweets, and it would not be 490 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: missing up the start Top tweets saying it I'll get 491 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: it one of these days.

I don't 512 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: know whether it's it's the look on his face or um, 513 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: you know, the posture his body language that just seems 514 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: so effortlessly.

They won Game six, then they won 541 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: Game seven. In Kansas City they still talk about it 542 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: because hey, there was one of the World Series, and 543 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: across I seventy in St. Louis, they still talk about, well, 544 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: we should have nineteen championships, right, it should have been 545 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: that one, regardless how long ago exactly. So you know, 546 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: sometimes those moments in sports is which is why I 547 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: bring it up.

I 550 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: think thirty years from now, this moment we'll still live 551 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: in this city. I think that they'll still be talking. 552 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: Let's we'll have be old. Uh yeah, I might still 553 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: be around. Um, you'll be around, will still be talking 554 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: about Miles Jack not being down. Yes, I wish the 555 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: Jaggers had played in the Super Bowl. But the side 556 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: benefit of it is you had a moment that galvanized 557 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 1: the fans. Let me ask you something. The Patriots are 558 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: here a week from Sunday. How many Miles Jack was 559 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: not down? References, signs, tattoos, big board messages. Do you 560 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: think you're gonna fill a whole quarter just going around 561 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: the stadium the amount of poster boards? I mean, you 562 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: see probably game. How many did you see this offseason 563 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: with it? I got one with Jeopardy right, m space 564 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: L space s was not down, right, I mean it was, 565 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: it was. It was awesome.

Miles Jack was not down. And 568 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: then you see this in public. Forget that their sponsor, right, 569 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: they're letting their personality out. I love it. It's great. 570 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: It would be fine to have to be talking about 571 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But the next best thing is we've 572 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: got something we can hang our hat in and I 573 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: think it's going to be ridiculous here against the patrol. 574 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: It absolutely will.

I'll read it 655 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: for it says, the NFL believes in dialogue, understanding, and unity. 656 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: We embraced the role and responsibility of everyone involved with 657 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: this game to promote meaningful, positive change in our communities. 658 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: The social justice issues that Colin and other professional athletes 659 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: have raised deserve our attention and action. That's the official 660 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: statement from the National Football League on Colin Kaepernick and 661 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: the NFL's ad. Now, the interesting part for the NFL 662 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: here Ashland is that the special master in the arbitration 663 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: case between the NFL and Colin Kaepernick ruled that Kaepernick's 664 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: complaint against the NFL for collusion can now go to trial. 665 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: So here's the NFL in effect supporting Colin Kaepernick and 666 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: Nikes comments and not comments pardon me advertising campaign with 667 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: that comment. At the same time, they're trying to balance 668 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: out the idea that they're going to trial over the 669 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 1: entire thing. Um. Say what you want about Colin Kaepernick, 670 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: can agree with him or disagree with him, Um, but 671 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: he has created a movement here and the movement is 672 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: going forward that Nike has has grabbed ahold of it 673 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: and has taken it and gone forward. Um it is 674 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: it's he got NFL owners at the meeting's last fall, 675 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: got a bunch of rich guys right to talk about 676 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: helping people poor people in these players communities and to 677 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: help the players help them. So if nothing else, he 678 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: started that ball in motion. And Nike has their own 679 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: reasons for doing what they did. Um, but Kaepernett got 680 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: that ball moving and now the NFL is moving with it, 681 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 1: and UM and the players I think um Klai's Campbell 682 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 1: had a comment about it too, And people see more 683 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: and more guys who maybe take action. It would be 684 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: interesting to see. Here's calais is and I'll read it 685 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: for you, says. The fact that racial inequality is back 686 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: in the forefront of political discussions makes me appreciate Kaepernick 687 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: even more. I look to a day when people will 688 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: not be judged by the color of their skin, but 689 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: by the content of their character. Martin Luther King Um 690 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: the flag issue and the kneeling issue and the social 691 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: justice issues aren't necessarily married at the hip. UM and 692 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick and Nike's advertising campaign is an interesting one 693 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: at that it is, and we always talk about you know, 694 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: players make complaints and they don't like things, but they 695 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: never really do anything about him. That's the biggest complaint 696 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: we here in America. Yet Colin Kaepernick and now Clais 697 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 1: Campbell are speaking out and making a movement about I 698 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: like people who we'll put their money where the mouth 699 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: is and we'll take action and not just speak. And 700 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: even though I don't agree with everything he said, I 701 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: don't agree with the socks that he wore, I admire 702 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: the fact that he has in fact sacrificed his NFL 703 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 1: career and put his own money into the effort. And 704 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: for that I can say it's a very interesting time 705 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: to be covering the National Football League. It is, and 706 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: we talk about players making movements forward and doing something 707 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: in their community. Yesterday, Calais Campbell went to Rains High 708 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: School where the tragic shooting was a few weeks ago, 709 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: at a high school football game. And he didn't really 710 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: go there to talk about gun violence and you know, 711 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: how to solve this. He just went there to listen. 712 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: And that was the biggest thing I took away from it, 713 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: as he gave these kids their time to shine and 714 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: heard their complaints and heard the issues in the community, 715 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 1: and for about thirty minutes just sat there and listened 716 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: to what was going on, just him and the kids. 717 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: It was really powerful. He was giving them ways to 718 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: solve their issues. No, the biggest thing he took away 719 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: from it, and I think the biggest thing the message 720 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: was you have a voice, use it, go to your principle, 721 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: make a petition, go do something about it. And I 722 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: think he gave these kids the courage to go move 723 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 1: forward when they didn't think they have anything. All right. 724 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: So that's the NFL statement on it. Two other headlines 725 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,879 Speaker 1: for you today. UH, Safety Earl Thomas, Pro Bowl All 726 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: Pro safety for the Seattle Seahawks. He said he wasn't 727 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 1: coming to camp until he got a new contract. He said, 728 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: trade me if you don't want me. In other words, 729 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,919 Speaker 1: if you're not gonna pay me what I think I'm worth. Uh. 730 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: He has held to it. At some point you thought 731 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: he would come in because he is a very highly 732 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: paid player under his current contract. Nope, not going to 733 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: report and the Seahawks are not interested in trading him, 734 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: it appears, unless they get exactly what they want, which 735 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: is the second round pick, and no one's offering anything 736 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: more than a third. He's not reported either. All the 737 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: talk about Levian Bell, who's a star and deserves it. 738 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: Same thing for Earl Thomas, but he's out in Seattle 739 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: and it's kind of just drifted into the background. We 740 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: don't much about it. He's the last remaining member of 741 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: the legion of Boom, that great secondary out there. Apparently 742 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: the shift to Russell Wilson's team is complete because they're 743 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: letting that go. All the great names on that defense 744 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: are now gone and it's Russell Wilson's team. Seahawks and 745 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: Broncos one of the games that I'm excited to see 746 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: this week, absolutely, And we think about what would that 747 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,760 Speaker 1: be like this week if one of your star players 748 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: wasn't here, How would you talk about anything else? You wouldn't, 749 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: especially not somebody who is as good as Earl Thomas, 750 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: is as good as Levian Bell. One. Safety and the 751 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: fact that we're talking about safeties here right um. It 752 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: used to be safety was like guard safeties and guards. 753 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: You didn't draft him too high, you didn't pay him, 754 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,479 Speaker 1: you went and found another one. But safety has become 755 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: such a premier position in Passing League Tyrone. Matthew right, 756 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: the longtime Arizona cardinal who is now with the Houston 757 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: Texans for the first time in his career. We'll face 758 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady on Sunday when the Texans play the Patriots, 759 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: and he says, I'm excited about it. Could be well 760 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: or at some point you say, wow, Tom Brady opening Day. 761 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: I gotta face that. Guys. Yeah, I doubt he's nervous. 762 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: But boy tell you what, I don't know that I'd 763 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: be jumping up and down from that on opening Day, 764 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: but Matthew is. And it's interesting that you finally get, 765 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, great player on great player, especially they play well. 766 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 1: He didn't play he played in Arizona in the NFC, 767 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: and the one time that he was supposed to play 768 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: him last year he was Brady was suspended and so 769 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: Matthew didn't get to see him, and now he gets 770 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: the chance to see him. So that'll be one of 771 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: those matchups. Yeah, it'll be one of those matchups. And 772 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots, they're receiving corps is sort of a Who's 773 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: that instead of Who's who? Absolutely, so a couple of 774 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: their notes for you games that we'll talk about you 775 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: may talk about him tomorrow. We absolutely gonna talking about Friday. 776 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: As you look at the schedule this weekend, the ones 777 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: in the division, Cincinnati in Indianapolis, Uh, Tennessee at Miami, 778 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: Houston and New England, and then these two or three 779 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: stand out. How about San Francisco at Minnesota. We saw 780 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,959 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. We saw San Francisco last year. Uh yeah, 781 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: they look like the potential to really go somewhere. We 782 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: could see Patrick Mahomes in l a right in his 783 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 1: debut as the starting quarterback for the Chiefs against the Chargers, 784 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 1: and Joey Bosa. And then finally and this one, look, 785 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: this one's always good. Chicago at Green Bay. It's always 786 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: good because it's the biggest rivalry in the NFL in 787 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: terms of number of times the game has been played. Um. 788 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: But now you've got Klum Mac and Rocan Smith and 789 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: the Bears have a little swagger going in there.
