1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Lawrence drive time, Ryan sex Sextius is actually some time

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Jeguarren's drive time starts right now. You know, your body

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: is a commodity. You know, you've got to make sure

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: that you stay healthy, and you've got to do the

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: things in the off season and during the season to

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: make sure that you can do it, you know, and

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: you've got to be prepared to think that you're gonna

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: come into with the way the c B A is now,

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: to think you're gonna be able to you know, not

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: really do anything for when the season is over until

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: um you report. You know, you're just gonna put yourself

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: in jeopardy. You know, I'm saying for injury risk and

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: the same thing, and that's that's probably the toughest phase

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: what I call phase one, you know, the same because

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: it puts a lot of accountability on the players, you know,

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: during the season when those players are injured. I guess

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: the best way to say is I try I try

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: to look at is how I would talk to my son.

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: My son comes to home, me has bumps and bruises,

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, and trying to know the difference between injury,

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: what to play through, what to not give him as

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: much information as possible, and I'm saying and then just

23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: see where that decision process comes. A lot of time

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: in this day and as it's not just you know,

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: between the coach and the player, obviously the trans and doctors,

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: but you know, you have agents, you have a lot

27
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: of other people that are involved with that. Good morning,

28
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Time, brought to you by our

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: friends at the Fields Auto Group and Cadillac of Jacksonville

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: and Cadillac of Orange part crowd members of the Fields

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Auto Group, Brian Sexton, actually Sullivan, Joe Fortunato was somewhere

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: on the other side of this cabinist studio and Stone

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: Cold is keeping it real in the other room. Um

34
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: our desk looks MEXI after seeing it, it's like, wow,

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: we look well we're working at I mean, let's be honest.

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: At this time of the year, with a team that's

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: four in ten, you are working to tell the stories.

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: And that's another concept of this right now is motivation

39
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: and where this team is at the injury situation. You

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: heard Doug talking right off the top. Um A lot

41
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: of players in this league are motivated to get healthy

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: and at this point of the year with I say this, Ashland,

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: and you've been around now long enough to understand I

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: say nothing to play for. Everybody in that locker room

45
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: is playing for something. But you're not playing for the playoffs.

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: You're not hurting your team at this point. If your

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: knee is sore. And the player that we're talking about

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: is Jalen Ramsey, Um, and you shut it down now.

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like he's going to shut it down. Um,

50
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: But that was the overall gist. It's just sort of

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: that funky time of year. Out of the playoffs, no

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: more home games, so people aren't as tuned in. Christmas

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: is right around the corner, and people are focused on

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: that traveling family coming in, getting the last minute shopping done,

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: preparing for the meals. Um kind of take a back seat.

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe the trunk in some respects football back on

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: the back burner. Yeah, well at least the Jaguars are

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: right now. And it doesn't feel very good. Um, there's

59
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: sort of and maybe you felt this a malaise um again,

60
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: not attached to any one person, but it's just kind

61
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: of yeah, we're just kind of grinding out here, just

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: got to get it done. Two weeks inside where you

63
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: expected to be here in December. But it is what

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: it is. In the locker room has to handle it

65
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: a certain way. It's two weeks. Well, as you started

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: with big things, all right, Big thing one is motivation.

67
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Whether regardless of this locker room's message, everyone has a

68
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: different motivation for the next two weeks. Whether it's putting

69
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: a good resume tape together, getting healed from injuries, or

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: just playing for the locker room. Everyone has something different.

71
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler share with us his motivation for the next

72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: two weeks. I mean, these guys in the locker room

73
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: and and you know, obviously it's my first year here. Um,

74
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: but at the same time, you know, something you take

75
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: pride in as a quarterback is is you want your

76
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: guys to play for you can play you know around

77
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: you and and and be successful. And now you know,

78
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: I want everybody in this locker room to be successful.

79
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: And um, that's something that you take pride in. And

80
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: at the same time, as you know, go out there

81
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: and show that you can play in this league and

82
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of turn this thing around and

83
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully in well these next few games. So

84
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: that's really what I was interested in. That was my

85
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: question to a lot of the guys in the locker

86
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: room yesterday was are you looking forward to the final

87
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: two games? Or are you looking for the final two

88
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: games to be over right? Are you looking forward to

89
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: the off season? A guy like Cody Kessler understands that

90
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: he is playing for his NFL. And I'm not talking

91
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: about whether he's starting here or not, because I don't

92
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: think any of us expect that to be. But is

93
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: he going to be the backup quarterback here? Is he

94
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna be the bridge quarterback here? Is he going to

95
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: go somewhere and be a backup quarterback? And you think

96
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: that he should have at least a seven or eight

97
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: year career. I'm looking at how long Chad hen He's

98
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: been in this game right as a backup quarterback, a

99
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: guy who can make a check playing football and being

100
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: around the game. So his time is now. He better

101
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: be motivated. And you know, everyone who's watching this, you

102
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: and I we all go through periods where we look

103
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: at our computer screen during the day We're like, what

104
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: are we doing? Right? I mean, you really have to

105
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: be focused. You have to be very purposeful and and

106
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: internally motivated at times, not just to get through and

107
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: get the job done. But to be your best, you

108
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: can't go out on that field on Sunday and just

109
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: get it done because hey, you might get hurt, be

110
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: you might get your ticket out of the league. You've

111
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: got to fight through whatever little cloud malaise, pity, woe

112
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: is me is going on and really be the math

113
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: of your own career. Right regarding Cody Kessler, these next

114
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: two weeks are huge for him with the resume tape,

115
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Like we were talking about these next two weeks, he's

116
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: had this opportunity to talk about what a great opportunity

117
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: it is to play in this league and be the

118
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: starter for an NFL team. But these next two weeks

119
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: he's got to step it up and put better tape

120
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: on because you said, like wherever, whatever team he goes to,

121
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you don't know where he's gonna end up. How about

122
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Lee Jackson? Right, a great example if you don't get

123
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you if you haven't seen this, he is one of

124
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: our favorites in the locker room, has been since the

125
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: day he arrived. At his opening press conference, he said, look,

126
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: he said they only guaranteed forty two million. Think about that,

127
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the only guarantee of the ninety million dollar deal, and

128
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: he said, I want it all. And at that moment,

129
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: I said, this is gonna be my favorite guy in

130
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: the locker room. And what did he say? Yeah, exactly

131
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: what did he say to you yesterday when you asked

132
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: him if he had a moment? He said, it's all

133
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: about the money for me. Well, but he also said

134
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: get me while you can, because he understands right that

135
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: and and that's the story that came out in the

136
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: newspaper last week that he is likely to be playing

137
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: elsewhere well, so his motivation, he knows, is going on

138
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: a He said, I'm here because they pay me handsomely,

139
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: which I loved. But more than that, he understands that

140
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: he needs to show everyone. He The great thing about

141
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Malik is he knows he hasn't had a good season.

142
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: And he said that he had to go out these

143
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: last two weeks and and put a bow on his season,

144
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: turn the narrative of his season around so that when

145
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: other teams start looking as Malik Jackson lost it, does

146
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: he no longer have them either the physical or the

147
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: renovation to get out there and play that he can

148
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: show them something different. I really like that he gets it.

149
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: It's a short window in your life that you have

150
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: to go all out as a professional football player. He's

151
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: going all out. Malik is very selfware and honest with

152
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: the media, which I respect because a lot of people

153
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: would say that they don't want to talk about what's

154
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: been going on inside internally with the communication. He has

155
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: laid it all out there and been so honest with everyone.

156
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: But just so asking you the audience, just to think

157
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: about your day yesterday and today and you're at work

158
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: and you're trying to get things done. You have it

159
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: to do list before you get out, before the holiday.

160
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: You're thinking about your kids, your husband, the last and

161
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: a gift right, what you're gonna get your wife when

162
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: you're what you've gotten something for your wife by now

163
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: you have? Yeah, I have, I'm not stupid. Um. You

164
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: know what time you have to leave at the airport,

165
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: what what the weather is going to be like? Those

166
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: are all things that these guys have to go through too.

167
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: They have to think about it. And at the same

168
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: time they thinking about, Okay, here we go Dolphins this week, right,

169
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: so you've got to and then of course hanging over

170
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: and we you know, the unstated thing is this team

171
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: has played lousy football, at least on the offensive side

172
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: of the ball the last couple of weeks, and so

173
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta grind through it all. The motivation

174
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: is still in the locker room. That was the good

175
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: news yesterday. I did not sense that a lot of

176
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: guys had checked out. And now, of course, one of

177
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: the reasons for that is is you've got a roster.

178
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: You know, all the starters that are injured and on

179
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: injured reserve and not playing, You've got a roster and

180
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: a starting lineup filled with guys who have a lot

181
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: to prove. That helps the locker room. If there's a

182
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: positive in it is you're gonna see guys playing hard

183
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday because most of those guys their future is

184
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: not secure and they're all motivated for different reasons. But

185
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: that's okay. As long as they're motivated, it can be

186
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: for different storylines. We'll take that any day of the week,

187
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: all right. Big thing too is Pro Bowl. Jalen Ramsey's

188
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl announcement. The lone Jaguar to make it this

189
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: year after six made it last year, back to back

190
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: consecutive seasons. For Jalen, we all know he's been dealing

191
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: with a knee injury for the greater part of the

192
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: season now, but has not missed a game. He talked

193
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: about yesterday playing through injuries just because the love of

194
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: the game. I love football, man, Honestly, I truly love football. Um.

195
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: I hate not being able to play football. And uh

196
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: never missed a game my NFL career yet, a regular

197
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: season game. I don't plan on it now. Um, And

198
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: sometimes later on in the year I get better stats. Um,

199
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: a rookie year. I think the last three or four weeks,

200
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: I played the best ball. Last year, towards the end

201
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: of the season, I was playing some foodball. Um. Hopefully

202
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: I can do that again. I can manage my knee.

203
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: I'll I'll push through it and I'll be all right.

204
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: You know who was it yesterday? You know Joan Marcus. Uh,

205
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: that was all bent. And you know how long is

206
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: it gonna take you to really understand what a selfish

207
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: kid he is? I'm telling you the last six weeks

208
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: he has been sensational. And there yesterday in front of

209
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: his locker, he was talking about his knee, about how

210
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: much he loved the game. I asked him the same

211
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: question that I asked Cody and the League, and that

212
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: is are you looking forward to Sunday or you're looking

213
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: forward to New Year's Day when this whole thing is

214
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: past you? Oh no, no, we love football. We've been

215
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: given these gifts, We've been giving these skills. We love football.

216
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: I love football. UM was very impressed with the way

217
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: that he stood there yesterday and dealt with a difficult

218
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: topic of motivation his knee. Um, Marcus can tell us

219
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: this when he comes on. You know, you get players.

220
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: That's the vast minority of players, right, vast minority. If

221
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: you see what I did with that of players who

222
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: at the end of a year care enough to keep

223
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: on playing even though they don't have to. How many

224
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: people do you know that if they could walk out

225
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: the door right now? If Ash and Sullivan went to

226
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: the front and got on the microdes and everybody who

227
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: wants to leave can leave today, go home and start

228
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: your Christmas vacation. What do you think I think John

229
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: O beat first mind? What do you think half the

230
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: building went empty at least? Right? And that's not just

231
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, blue cross and blue shield, you name it.

232
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Anywhere you go fields, right, people go out? I can

233
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: leave now, yeah, right, Hey, Merry Christmas. I'm out that's

234
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: human nature. Um. The great ones defy human nature with

235
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: their will to win, and you saw that from him,

236
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: especially when you know that Jalen Ramsey is in pain

237
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: and dealing with that knee injury and that hasn't factored

238
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: into anything. Now, the topic was Pro Bowl and he

239
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: may or may not play. It sounds like he wants

240
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: to try to play. Doug talked off the top of

241
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: our show about getting him to a point where he

242
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: feels comfortable and is healthy and if he wants to play,

243
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: he goes and he plays. UM, but taking care of

244
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: his body is most important and obviously that will come

245
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: into play as they go around. To me, the Pro

246
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: Bowl UM one player as opposed to six tells you

247
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: everything about how it's fallen off on defense this year,

248
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: storyline of the six to one, and then you look

249
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: at someone like the Chargers who have I think seven

250
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and the storyline they're having and all the

251
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: attention they're getting. It was the Jaguars last season. Some

252
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: of it is that the offense couldn't help him and

253
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: so they couldn't make the game changing place. I mean,

254
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: Telvin Smith last year was a highlight machine this year. No,

255
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: he wasn't unique and got way last year seven stripped sacks, right,

256
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: six of them. Lad the touchdowns scores um. This year

257
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't have one. He had one that was taken

258
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: away in that Colts game by a penalty. But even

259
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: Klais fourteen and a half sacks now four and a

260
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: half of those came in, you know, opening day. But

261
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: he was a monster last year and he might get

262
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: there and Miles might get there as alternates, but a

263
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: j boyer, right, he was hurt for part of the season,

264
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: and he wasn't last These guys they just didn't offense

265
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: or not. They just didn't produce like they did the

266
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: year before. And that is absolutely a story inline, right,

267
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: especially going into the Pro Bowl. It's a performances. Last

268
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: year the Pro Bowl was fun. You had Unique and

269
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: Calais and even guys that didn't play but also excited

270
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: to be there too. Yeah. Well, and that was a

271
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: moment where okay, here the Jaguars are back on the

272
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: national stage and it's been a while, and these are

273
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: young guys and you're going to see them for years

274
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: to come because you get into that Pro Bowl rhythm, right,

275
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: and you you generally get votes and you get back

276
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: there if you have a good year, not a great year,

277
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: you tend to stay in those Pro Bowl slots. No,

278
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: they didn't, so top to the bottom in just a year.

279
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can go back next year. All right,

280
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: Big thing three is Miami a good matchup for the Jaguars. Obviously,

281
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Miami has lost their running back Frank Gore, who has

282
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: been really productive for them this season. Their offensive line

283
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: is banged up, similar to the Jaguars. They give up

284
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: nine sacks last week against the Vikings. Defense give up

285
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: forty one points in the Minnesota Vikings. But they've drafted

286
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: well on defense. Make up Fitzpatrick and Jerome Baker break

287
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: top in their rookie class. For the Dolphins, they've had

288
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: a good draft the past few years, but they're dealing

289
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: with a lot of the same things that the Jaguars

290
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: here are dealing with, with a insufficient offense at times.

291
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are this season where they have been seemingly

292
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: forever and in the middle of the pack. Um there

293
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: seven and seven, and they got the miracle win over

294
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots and they go to my to Minnesota, and

295
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: that's this team that had fired their offensive coordinator. You think,

296
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: if they can win this one, the right and at

297
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: one point they were down twenty one nothing and they

298
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: got back to seventeen and then boom, the Vikings just

299
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: ran away from them exactly. So they are just very

300
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: very thinly on the edge of being in the playoff put.

301
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: It's enough that they should have a lot of motivation

302
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: to come and play. Um. But I went and looked,

303
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: do you realize that since the Jaguars have been in

304
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: the NFL, the Dolphins are three and seven in their

305
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: ten playoff games, three and seven. They they're just there

306
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack. They're kind of stuck.

307
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: They never seem to get past. Now they're Jaguars fans

308
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: who are out there who've had enough of you know,

309
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: four and ten that say I'll take eight Nate, no problem.

310
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: And you know, eight Nate would feel pretty good right

311
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 1: about now. But that Dolphins team has just kind of

312
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: been hanging on and hanging on. I gotta give Adam

313
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Gaze credit and and that group down there, because they

314
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: shed a lot of top players. They let Jarvis Landry

315
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: go and he's a big reason why the Browns are

316
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt. This year and why Baker Mayfield

317
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: has had the kind of season that he's had. They

318
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: letting Doma con Sugo, and I realized he hadn't produced

319
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: to the level of his contract, But I mean, who does.

320
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: He was the staple though of your team at times,

321
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: a great player that you let walk, and they just

322
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: they kind of cleaned house and let some guys walk

323
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: and brought in older players. Uh, Frank Gore, I mean,

324
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna hang on Frank Gore. Nice player for the

325
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: great player over the course of his career, only a

326
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: nice player at this stage of his career. But you're saying, Okay, well,

327
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with this guy, and he's gonna be

328
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: our guy. Fourteenth NFL season. It worked. They got to

329
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: seven and seven. They were pretty productive this year. So

330
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: congratulations to Adam Gaze and the job that they've done

331
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: down there in Miami. And you know, they've got a

332
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: chance to probably finish eight n eight right and be

333
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: right in the middle again, right in the middle again

334
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: another year. And I think that if you look at

335
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: them honestly, their quarterback situation is you know, Tannehill was

336
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: a first round pick and they had moments where they

337
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: thought this guy is our guy, and since then, yeah,

338
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's just again, he's almost eight and eight, right,

339
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: forty two and forty four is a starter. Um, yeah,

340
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: just just okay. You know, a wise man once told me,

341
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: be good or stink, but don't be just okay. In

342
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, if you're just okay, you get stuck there.

343
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: And they've seem been stuck there for years and years

344
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: and years. So we'll see what they've got on Sunday.

345
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see that stadium since they put that

346
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: roof on it. We've been down there and I know

347
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: you grew up there and you go out on that

348
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: field in December and the sun is beating down and

349
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: you think you're the on the equator, you know, and

350
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: you think, wow, I'm in the middle of this thing. Uh.

351
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: And hard Rock Stadium has sort of an attractive feel

352
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: to it now when you see it on TV. Yeah,

353
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's a totally different field there, totally different field,

390
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,359

395
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: I can say listen which version of it? Uh, Chris

396
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: Brown version? Oh there you go. I imagine that Joe

397
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: will have that before we're done. That's just kind of

398
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: the way that he works. Um, before we do the

399
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: playoffs stuff. Playoffs, Yeah, playoffs. I don't know why we're

400
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: talking about that. We've been talking about motivation, and one

401
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: of the things that this team has going for it

402
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: is that there's a lot of young players out there

403
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: who have a lot of motivation. Um, just a sense

404
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: of how hard it can be when you're not in

405
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: the postseason conversation with two weeks to play and things

406
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: not going well, and you know, the locker room can

407
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: be kind of a unfun not fun. Yeah, that that

408
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: is very true and very accurate. I think when you

409
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: have such a young team and you work so hard

410
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: from April to now and to come up short and

411
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: not to even be in a playoff conversation, locker room

412
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: can be a lonely and sad, drewery kind of place.

413
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: But you don't want to hang out right, Absolutely, But

414
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: I think i've guys not saying that they they are

415
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: hating football, but I think they're still enjoying each other's

416
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: company because you still see the antics that you see.

417
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: You know, if we were sitting here attending to you

418
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: still see those same guys, you know, pulling jokes and

419
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: having a good time in the locker room, sitting by

420
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: each other's lockers and sharing lunch and having conversations. But

421
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: I think the biggest part, I think Doug has done

422
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: a tremendous job of reminding guys that they're are still

423
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot of steak. You know, you don't want to

424
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: have a resume that shows up when the season was

425
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: bleak that you quit. And I think our leadership is

426
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: taking that same conversation with our guys and say, hey, listen,

427
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: we still got a lot to fight for. But I

428
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: don't think you have to remind young guys because they

429
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: don't know anything else. All they know is to fight

430
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: and to keep playing. How impressed We always talked about

431
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: how impressive have you been with Jalen Ramsey during the

432
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: season cheek for us? It seems like he's come such

433
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: a long way since the Colts game at Lucas Oil State.

434
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: And that wasn't his best game. We all know that,

435
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: but it seems like he's completely changed how he approaches

436
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: the locker room and just the game. Really. Yeah, to me,

437
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: Jayal is one of those guys that I think when

438
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, he's gonna be one of

439
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: those great ones. I think we can all agree to that.

440
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: But I think that his approach lately has been so

441
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: positive and to me, when you have that kind of

442
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: energy from a player like him, is contagious, and I

443
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: think it started spread spread on the locker room and

444
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: and kudos to him for having such this maturity and

445
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: growth curve from the Colts game to now. Well, you

446
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: and I had a conversation in London. We were talking

447
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: about him. We were waiting for him to sort of emerge,

448
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: and he has right a couple of weeks later in Indianapolis.

449
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: How much did you have to do with that? Because

450
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: that's good of what you do time mentoring. I love

451
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: I would love to take credit for jay Less majority

452
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: to this point and the way it's it's it's tangible.

453
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: You can see it, you can, we can. But to me,

454
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: it's something that he decided he needed to do. To me,

455
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: that's the that's the approach you have to have for

456
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: the entire locker room. It's when those guys in locker

457
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: room start to take ownership and police one another more

458
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: so than the coaches even myself could do, because they're

459
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: in the locker room in the trenches one another. When

460
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: Jayleen can take it upon himself say this is something

461
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: I need to do, he can start the effect the

462
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: entire locker room just the way he approached. You've been

463
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: around this game along and if you've seen the whole

464
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: cycle a couple of different times, good teams go bad,

465
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: bad teams become good. Have you ever seen a team

466
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: that was bad then went good, then went bad then

467
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: went good. I mean, can you can you can you

468
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: see if you follow me, that this thing trends back

469
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: in that that direction in just one year. It does,

470
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: It really can. And I was on a team that

471
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: went three and thirteen Payton's rookie year, than the thirteen

472
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: and three the following year, but then we were kind

473
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: of a playoff team after that. But I haven't been

474
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: a part of a team where you were awful then

475
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: came good and awful again. But I've been around football

476
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: long enough to note that it happens. It's the cycle. Uh.

477
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: I think you just got a quarterback. You have to

478
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: start with every position. You can't just identify the quarterback.

479
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: But that is a huge piece and making that consistency

480
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: with playoff teams and being around good team because you

481
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: look around the league. You got Aaron Rodgers, you got

482
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, you got Tom Brady, Peyton Man when he's playing,

483
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: so you got all these quarterbacks. It is a common

484
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: denominating having great teams, but to me, bigger than that,

485
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: you have to have great people with great character. And

486
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: when you start to build a program or or or

487
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: or a team, you start with characters and then you

488
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: start feeling great players. And then when you add a

489
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: great quarterback to the equation, you know, it's a great

490
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: chemistry for for great process. And more to your point,

491
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: you look, there's some great quarterbacks who are not in

492
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: the postseason conversation. Aaron Rodgers, you know, at the at

493
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: the forefront of that, and he's played all season. It's

494
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: not like he was sitting on the sideline. Cam Newton,

495
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, he was the NFL MVP. He'll be sitting

496
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: and watching the playoffs. I mean, and there are others.

497
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: But you know, so the quarterback is not the only

498
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: part of the equations. It's a huge part, but not

499
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: the only part. Character and great players, it's probably the

500
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: biggest part. Is everybody who's watching knows if you don't

501
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: have that, you don't give yourself a chance, or you know,

502
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: one more thought on that. Um, if you have a

503
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: great quarterback, and Peyton Manning is a great example of that,

504
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times I thought the

505
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Jaggers is gonna go in there and beat them. His

506
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: offensive line is shambles, right, you know they're playing guys

507
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: who were seventh round picks at right tackle. How are

508
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: you going to protect the guy? And that? And yet

509
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: he always made everyone around him better. And that's what

510
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: they do. Great quarterbacks cover up your deficiencies. And to me,

511
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: you can you can say the same thing for a

512
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: running back position as well. Barrissenter didn't play with the

513
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: best of lines when he played for all those of

514
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: us either. So if you've got a great quarterback and

515
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: the great offensive life, uh, great running back, it can

516
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: make a lot of people's jobs a lot easier. All right, Well,

517
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the playoffs standings where they

518
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: are today, a couple of weeks left in the regular season. Um,

519
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 1: and you can see right here, Oh okay, that's the wrong. Uh,

520
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: let's the wrong look at it because it doesn't have

521
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: them listed. But at the top of the standings there

522
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: you've got the Patriots. The look that I wanted to

523
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: give was, you know where the um the conference is

524
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: as a whole. But the Chargers Chiefs one is the

525
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: one that interests me the most because you've got a

526
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs team that's number one right now, but they go

527
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: to Seattle this week because Seattle team, well, but they

528
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: got beat last week, so they're pretty motivated to come

529
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: back and play. Um. You've got you've got the Chiefs

530
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: that could be the five right and you've got the

531
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: Charges it could be the one right out of the gate.

532
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: And that's an interesting look. But the teams that are

533
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: are hanging around, the Titans, the Colds, the Dolphins, even

534
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: the brown kind of hanging around. So I mean, to me,

535
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: it's it's what football is about this time of the year.

536
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: Those teams that found a way to play well in

537
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: November December, there's old teams that found a way to

538
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: make it in the playoffs. You're not saying the first

539
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: two months of the season are important, but when you

540
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: can find a way to put wins together this time

541
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: of year and then roll that into the playoffs like

542
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: we did last year, I mean, it's it's great, great, great.

543
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: I think everyone who watches football would tell you the

544
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 1: Chargers are probably the hottest team in football right now.

545
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: My call is is I think that the Chargers win out.

546
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: They get the Bear at the Bears, the Ravens at home,

547
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: and then they go to Denver. To me, that's right.

548
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: And I think that the Chiefs I could be wrong.

549
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: I've been wrong about them all season long, but I

550
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: think they lose in Seattle because that's a tough place

551
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: to go, no matter where you're going from. And I

552
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: think the people can't see will pull their hair out

553
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: because you know how with Patrick Mahomes and you know,

554
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: in forty points a game, it seems like, how in

555
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: the world haven't watched it? How well are they doing?

556
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: Without see I think that you can notice that he's

557
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: not in the game. The other guy, uh Damian Williams

558
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: last week had a couple of nice runs. But Hunt

559
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: is so explosive, and the way that defenses have to

560
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs with with him on the field as

561
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: opposed to without, I think it's gonna be I think

562
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: it will be exploited this week. I think Seattle has

563
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: enough talent on defense to exploit that. This week. You'll

564
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: see the absence you don't take four yards and fourteen

565
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns to Way and say, well, the Chiefs are better

566
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: without him. You don't even notice, No, you can't know.

567
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: You can't see that. Um. The Steelers come back win,

568
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: by the way against the Patriots. Huge, huge, because they

569
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: were on the verge of falling out of it. Now

570
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: they're in it. And you've got the Ravens that have

571
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: to go all the way to San Diego, and you

572
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: have everyone this week saying what the heck happened to

573
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots? They don't have it anymore. Brady's done for

574
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what's going on? My friend? I've done

575
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: all right, He'll be okay. If you watched any national television,

576
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: they're like, what the heck happital? Well, I mean with

577
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: that guy? And Josh Gordon has the explosive threat and

578
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: Gronkowski over the middle limited they're close to the end.

579
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: You can see that because he doesn't the throw that

580
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: he made that was picked um at the end of

581
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: the ball game there where he just dropped back and

582
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: just chucked it high into the air for the best.

583
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: When have you ever seen Tom Brady do that in

584
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: the red zone trying to make a play at the

585
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: end of the game, so um charges in the number

586
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: one seed. They're hot and they're getting healthy. Yeah, that's

587
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: all good. All right, let's take a break when we

738
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: lately on that show, I brought my game to this

739
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: side of the table. What if I got eleven and

740
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: fourteen of the last four team right, Yeah, it's wedding percentage.

744
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: of things. Give everyone a trophy, don't don't post grades. Yeah, okay, alright, Uh,

745
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: well would come to the end of the show. So

746
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: let's do this. A couple of quick NFL headlines. I

747
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier that Dick cam Newton is out of the playoffs.

748
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: He's out of the season at this point. Uh. He

749
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: is going to sit the remaining two games. They're not

750
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 1: putting him on the injured reserve list because there's still

751
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: a chance of the playoffs right less than one percent,

752
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: which is why they're not going to play him after

753
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: the loss on Monday Night to the Saints. But they're

754
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 1: in the middle of a horrible Ashland six game losing streak.

755
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: He's thrown interception in every one of those games. They

756
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: started at six and two, they look like one of

757
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: the best teams in the NFC, and now there's six

758
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: and eight. Um, the he probably needs to sit. A

759
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, against the Bucks, he said he

760
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: thought he was playing his best football and he threw

761
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: four picks. Yeah, I don't. If you saw his postgame

762
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 1: press conference, you could tell it was really bothering. Yeah,

763
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: it was really bothering him and so he's going to sit.

764
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: The Panthers will put the two thousand NFL m v

765
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: P on the sideline. Here's a guy who was pretty

766
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: upset this week. Uh, Darius, Oh sorry, that's Melvin Gordon.

767
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: Um my bad out of it. He's excited because what

768
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: you've got is the Chargers, who have played without him

769
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: for three games, getting him back this week against the

770
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. So the best team in football is getting healthy.

771
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is in there. And fin finally, Darius Leonard heartbroken.

772
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: He said that he did not make the Pro Bowl

773
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: and once forty tackles this week. He has had nine

774
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: tackles in the two games against the Jaguars. But the

775
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: rookie linebacker hundred and forty six tackles, which leads in

776
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. Seven sacks, four force fumbles in the interception,

777
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: the rookie from South Carolina State not even getting to

778
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl this year, once forty tackles on Sunday, Uh,

779
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: we'll take twenty five averages nineteen. He's had quite a year.

780
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: Quite the year. We now have a special guest that

781
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: just called in, John Conjemmi from Miami Dolphins and analysts

782
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Thanks so much for joining us, John

783
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: on such short notice, for sure, but we appreciate you.

784
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: So this game on Sunday, we've been hearing that a

785
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: lot of the people in the locker room for the

786
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins are talking about playoffs. That's still in the conversation.

787
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: Summer is already talking about the off season. What have

788
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: you seen from the Dolphins this week? Well, I think

789
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: this week it was a little deflating after going on

790
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: the road and and losing, and really not having the

791
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: destiny of the playoffs in your hands. You felt like,

792
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: if you're a Miami Dolphins fan or player, if you

793
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: want out, you controlled where you were going to go

794
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: in the month of January. But now that has taken

795
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: out of the Dolphins control and all you can do

796
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: is focusing on the next game at hand, and that's Jacksonville.

797
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: So I would think the mindset of the organization, from

798
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: from owner to to myself put it that way, is

799
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: just focusing in on Jacksonville, trying to win, to keep

800
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: your playoff hopes alive, slim as they might be. You know,

801
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, John, have had some moments this year where

802
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: you think, okay, here they go, and then obviously they

803
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: fallen back and had a couple of two game losing streaks.

804
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: So I guess the question is is this a playoff

805
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: team as you look at it in in this season

806
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: where they retooled him, they let some really good players

807
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: go and replace them with some other guys like Robert

808
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: Quinn and Frank Gore. Do you see this is being

809
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: a team that can do something if they make the playoffs? Well,

810
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: I think when you looked at the roster in the

811
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: beginning and you mentioned the players that were let go

812
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: in the off season and the players they acquired, you

813
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: lose a lot on offense when Albert Wilson goes out

814
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: of your huddle, when j. Caim Grant goes out of

815
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: your huddle, and late and the latest guy and Frank Gore,

816
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: who really he had the running game on his back

817
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: on first and second down and he really came through

818
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: much more than anybody anticipated. I thought Frank would be

819
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: the alternate guy, you know, the guy that came in

820
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: and relieved Kenyan Drake, but he was really the workhorse

821
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: on the ground. So you lose guys like that, and

822
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: then up front you go out and you sign a

823
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: Daniel Kilgore and a Jaw Sitton and had a William

824
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: Hayes in his second year that could play defensive end

825
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: and defensive tackle. You lose those ingredients to your nucleus

826
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: of your starting group on both sides. You don't think

827
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: that you're going to be able to be in the

828
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: conversation for playoffs week fifteen, weeks sixteen, week seventeen. But

829
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: they found a way to do that. So I would

830
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: think they overcame a lot of adversity in terms of

831
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: injuries to find their way into the mix at the end. Now,

832
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: couldn't they go far in the playoffs with their road

833
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: record only winning one game this year on the road,

834
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: That that you don't have a whole lot of confidence

835
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: in that, But yet you still have to play the

836
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: game if you get there, So you're hoping that you

837
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: can win out and and overcome that hurdle if if

838
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: it were to be so is the story of the

839
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: season then because they did that, Mike Pouncey goes away

840
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: and they bring in kill Gore, and they signed Josh Sitton,

841
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: and they replaced long term Dolphins with guys who had

842
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: become journeyman in a sense, and they put themselves in

843
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: a position. So is that really the story that the

844
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: roster moves that a lot of people questioned turned out

845
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: to be the right answer, even if the injuries took

846
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: away the the ending. Well, I think I think you

847
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: could take that argument. I think you can make that

848
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: statement and say, okay, of the Dolphin base believe that.

849
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: But when you had guys a Mike Pouncey that was

850
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: a fixture on the offensive line who goes to the

851
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, and you really probably that wasn't your intention

852
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: of getting rid of him in the off season. That

853
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: just kind of happened in the twenty three hour of

854
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: a day. Uh. I think Dolphin fans that that would

855
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 1: be the one you'd circle and go, wow, I wish

856
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: we really had Mike back on the team because he

857
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: was a fixture at center and he was you know,

858
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: he was a guy that played at such a high

859
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: level and the injury to the hip was the thing

860
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: that you questioned could he get through a season and

861
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: he did so this year in l a sou that

862
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: question was answered by him. So that would be the

863
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: only one I would say, Well, you have to scratch

864
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: your head because when you look at Landry and you

865
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: look at Sue Soos dollars were way out of whack

866
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: for a guy that doesn't affect the scoreboard and didn't

867
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: give you a whole lot in terms of being that

868
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: dominant guy. You felt like you were gonna get now.

869
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: He was a good player, But was he twenty million

870
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: dollars good? I don't know if he affected the game

871
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: not much as a member of the Miami Dolphins. And

872
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: for Jarvis, he was just the price range was just

873
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: out of skew what the Dolphins wanted to do offensively.

874
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: It seems like the Dolphins have drafted really well, especially

875
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: on defense late, with Mina Fitzpatrick and Jerome Baker. I

876
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: know their ranked in the top class in the rookie

877
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: class this year. What have you seen out of them

878
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: so far this season? Minca Fitzpatrick's one of the better

879
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: players you'll see in the National Football League to come

880
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: in as a rookie and have so much on his plate.

881
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: He's played multiple positions for the Dolphins on defense. It

882
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: really hasn't batted an eye. Um. He's one of those

883
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: rookies with seventy plus tackles, multiple interceptions, got his first

884
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 1: pick six last week, and I think Fitzpatrick and Baker

885
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: both have pick six UH this year, and that's the

886
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: first time it's happened since I believe two thousand and

887
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: fifteen UH in Green Bay that two different rookies had

888
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: picked sixes in the same season. So these two guys

889
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: are dynamic, they're quick twitch players, They're they're very fast,

890
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: they trigger quickly, and they're guys that can be on

891
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: your roster for a long time. So I think the

892
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins did really well with with Mika and Jerome in

893
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: the draft. You know, you've played the position obviously, and

894
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 1: you understand how to attack a defense. Are you surprised

895
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: at the way that some rookie defensive backs have come

896
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: in in recent years and been able to challenge quarterbacks? Well,

897
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: I do, you know. I think the dynamic of the

898
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: way the game is played is changing. You know, you

899
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: want to go so fast, some teams want to go

900
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: with tempo. Some teams want to huddle and be methodical

901
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: for what they do, and I think it it hurts

902
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: and helps the quarterback. When you're in rhythm as a

903
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: quarterback and you feel like you've got control of what's

904
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: going on, you want to manipulate the defensive backs with

905
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: your eyes. You want to be able to give them formations,

906
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: give emotions, make them feel uncomfortable. I think sometimes offenses

907
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: go so fast that maybe they outthink themselves or they

908
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: try to get to so much on their play sheet

909
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: that they take away or deter from what the dop

910
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: the offense does really well, or what's been going well

911
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: in that game. So I am surprised a little bit

912
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: about the success of defensive backs. But when I'm covering

913
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: college football on a weekly basis, I see freshmen all

914
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: the time or sophomores all the time being pactful, and

915
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: those guys are only getting better at that level. So

916
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: the jump or that learning curve may not be as

917
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: severe as it once was because these players are playing

918
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps early in their career, and when

919
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: they jump to the NFL, depending on where they're coming from,

920
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: that learning curve isn't as as big as it once was. Well,

921
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: we we've seen Howard who's obviously going to the Pro Bowl,

922
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: and and and Jalen Ramsey up here who's only in history,

923
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: and and to see Minca Fitzpatrick come in and be

924
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: a big time playmaker. I mean, I have not seen

925
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the Dolphins this year. But whenever I

926
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: turn on the TV, I'm looking at Fitzpatrick making plays

927
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: and and the guys in Green Bay. So you can

928
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: see that there's all these young corners that used to

929
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: be susceptible to the quarterbacks in this league, but not

930
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: quite so much. So I appreciate your perspective. John, thanks

931
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: for taking the time to cause look forward to seeing

932
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: you this week. Thanks Brian, Thank Ashland. Appreciate it. That'll

933
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: do it for our show with a little look at

934
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Thanks to John for picking up the phone

935
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,560

00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: in uh and taking advantage of Ashland to get that

937
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: tie breaking. Okay, that'll do for the show. Thanks to
