Good morning and welcome into 4 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time. Thursday morning, brought to you by Jet Homeland. 5 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: A beautiful day in Jacksonville as I bring in Brian 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: Sexton and John Osier, getting ready to preview this big 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: week to match up against the Tennessee Titans. But first 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: I must admit something. Brian Sexton. We live relatively close 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: to one another at the beach, and I will say 10 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: I went outside this morning and there was a bit 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: of a chill in the air, like falling coming. What 12 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: was it like? It was a nice Chris eight two 13 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: this morning. That's fabulous. Wait, how are you going to 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: deal with it next week? When it's in the sixties. 15 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: It one night, it's supposed to get down your sixty nine. 16 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: You better go get yourself a park at Florida. Girl. 17 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, god, are you ready for that? Yeah? 18 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: I'm more than ready for it, but I'm particularly ready 19 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: for the rain to stop. I'm an old man slan, 20 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: so weather remains everything. Weather revolves around your life. I 21 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: understand John. Alright, guys, let's get into big things. Enough 22 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: about the weather. There's a game on Sunday. Big thing 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: one is something sprint A stadium with no fans oh 24 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: waits in Nashville, Tennessee. The Jaguars always practiced and noise. 25 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: They played a game in front of fans last Sunday, 26 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: So how will this weekend's game on Sunday affect them? 27 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it could be a good thing to Jaguars have 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,919 Speaker 1: not one in Tennessee since two thousand thirteen, seven seasons ago. 29 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: Possibly we'll be able to hear better on often. Good 30 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: to be a good thing for the Jaguars. No fans, 31 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: much more quiet in Nashville on sun Day. Big thing too, 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: is is this offense Taylor to Gardner Minshew, Ques she 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Mark or is it Taylor to take what a defense 34 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: gives it. It's a fair question. Last week the Jaguars 35 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: offense ran the ball until the cool defense figured out 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: how to stop them. Will they open it up more 37 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 1: this week at the start of the game. The dank 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: and dunking we saw last week, which gave Gardner Minshew 39 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: very impressive stats, makes it seem like Jagruden is definitely 40 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: tailoring this offense to the quarterback. And finally, big thing 41 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: three is number nine. First it was Darrell Casey, now 42 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: it is Jadavian Clowney. The free agent signing was an 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: absolute beast on Monday Night Football at the start of 44 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: the game, and Sully his production started to sink as 45 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: time went on. He admitted that he was a little 46 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: bit rusty starting off this season, which is a little 47 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: scary for jag Horse fans if he's already this productive 48 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: and admitting he's rusty, the offensive coordinator definitely needs a 49 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: nap after trying to learn how to deal with this 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: Titans defense. Thank and crawl up on. You play a 51 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: lot of Manda man with different ways to help the 52 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: man coverage with different pluggers. It could be the safety 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: come down, it could be a linebacker, be defensive ends dropping. Uh. 54 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: So they do a great job with their uh different 55 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: coverages in different ways they get them. And then their 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: blitz patterns are uh you know, we're we're I got 57 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: about one hour sleep yesterday watching all these blitzes from 58 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: last year. So uh, very very uh tough to deal 59 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: with on third down, first second down, they have some 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: nuisance type blitzes that are tough. Uh, but he's a 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: great coach man and he proved it last year going 62 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: late in the playoffs and uh done a good good job. Alrighty, 63 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have Voice of the Tennessee Titans coming 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: up in the show. Mike Keith joins us here shortly. 65 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: But let's preview this game on Sunday. First. John Osier, 66 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: looking at that Monday night football game, the new edition 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: of jadeveon Clowney being a linebacker, you definitely have to 68 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: keep your eye on him, even more so than the 69 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: guy last season. Darrell Casey. Yeah, it's interesting what you said, 70 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: because I tuned in about the second quarter on didn't 71 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: really notice Clowney that much. But the reality is he's 72 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: a He's an unbelievably disruptive player in the ways where 73 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: it's really really important, meaning against the run, in terms 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: of getting guys, he helps people around him. He's not 75 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: a huge stat guy. I don't know that he ever 76 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: will be in terms of sacks, which obviously is why 77 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: he didn't get paid. But overall, you have to account 78 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: for him on every play because he is the most 79 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: disruptive player in the field. The really bad news for 80 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: the Jaguars is is he's not far. He's not far 81 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: and away the best player on their defense. They're a 82 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: very deep overall defense. Their concern right now is their 83 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: second doories beat up with the Dorry Jackson being out, 84 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: So if they can keep the past rush off meeting 85 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, perhaps there's something they can exploit in the secondary. 86 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: You know, Clowney is sort of a secret sauce. I mean, 87 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, up Frond and the kid from Boston College 88 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: whose name escapes me all of a sudden. They have 89 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 1: got a really good football players on this Yeah, Herod Landry, 90 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: there you go. I haven't heard whether Rashaan Evans faces 91 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: any disciplinary action for the punch that he threw in 92 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: that game in Denver or not. But you talk about 93 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: a really good linebacker, I mean on on the level 94 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: with the Miles jack sort of athlete in the middle 95 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: of their defense there, and what Clowney gives them is 96 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: a guy who creates mismatches that you have to account for, 97 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: that takes another one of these young players and gives 98 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: them a one on one. I mean, that's that's the 99 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: thing that he does. The reason that Clowney was out there. 100 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: The reason that he didn't get the deal that he 101 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: wanted is in part the stats. As John mentioned, he's 102 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: never had double digit sacks, but he's also had microfracture 103 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: surgery on that knee, and so a couple of years ago, 104 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, he hurt his knee in college. A couple 105 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: of years ago he had the surgery. And that's that's problem. 106 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: We've seen it with Tony Brackens here in Jacksonville years 107 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: ago that had shortens careers. Since people are wary of 108 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: giving him that long term mega contract because he could 109 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: be done tomorrow. You just never know with that bone 110 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: on bone situation in his name. But if he's healthy 111 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: and right, just watch ninety nine because they'll move him 112 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: around and put him in positions, you know, over the 113 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: right guard or wide outside on the right tackle or 114 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: lined up in line back. I mean, they could just 115 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: do so many things to create problems. And he's great 116 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: at tipping passes. With a shorter quarterback, that's something that 117 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: you're concerned with. Gardner Minshold being just six ft tall, 118 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: Jaguar's offensive line is definitely going to have a big 119 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: task trying to handle him on Sunday. Let's go back 120 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: up to big thing one about the no fans in Nashville. 121 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: How big of a deal is that. I'm talking to 122 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: players about it, and really no one can even say 123 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: how big of a deal it is or not because 124 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: no one's ever done it before. So, John, I guess 125 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: do you foresee that being a positive and negative? I 126 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: guess we really ot know till Sunday. Yeah, I'm not 127 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: sure that it's gonna have a huge tangible effect. I 128 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: watched a few other games every the weekend as a 129 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: as a fan watching It didn't look like it affected 130 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: things a whole great deal. I'm sure if you're on 131 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: the sideline player and you're sort of used to hearing 132 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: that den of you're focused in on what you're doing, 133 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: all right, Brian sex deal, no big deal? Well, I 134 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: think we'll find out. When we talked to the players 135 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: after Sunday's game in Nashville, it was funny. At one 136 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: point on Sunday evening, my wife turned to me and said, 137 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: they're fans. They're right. I mean, she didn't even realize 138 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: because she wasn't paying close attention that there weren't fans 139 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: in the stands in Los Angeles because she heard the 140 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: crowd noise as she was working in the kitchen, and 141 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: the reality of it was was that the crowd noise 142 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: is piped in there for the television audience so that 143 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel so strange. And they took a lot 144 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: of very tight angles early on. Then they showed the 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: stadium later in the game, but early on, you know, 146 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: they took tight angles to the field, and if you 147 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: were just watching casually, you might not have known there 148 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: weren't any fans there. So I can't say for sure. 149 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: The players will tell us on Sunday after the game 150 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: whether it was a big deal or not. It last 151 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: week had to be weird for them, though there were 152 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: some people in the stands. This week will be downright 153 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: strange to see an empty stadium. That will take some 154 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: time to get used to, especially in a place like Nashville. 155 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: I think we all kind of test is a very loud, exciting, 156 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: passionate fan base, especially for this matchup, so curiously see 157 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: how that works. Let's quickly go to big thing Thing, 158 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: Big thing too about this offense with Gardnerman. Should we 159 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: listen to offensive coordator Jay Gruden yesterday and John and 160 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: Brian The biggest thing I took away was really again 161 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: the tight end inclusion in this offense. He really didn't 162 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: talk much about it, and going on the show, especially 163 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: during training camp, we talked a lot about the tight end. So, Brian, 164 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: do you think we're going to see more inclusion for them? 165 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: What is going on with that position? Well, there's a 166 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: couple of things that's going on. I mean, first and foremost, 167 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: when you've got Levisca chen Ault and DJ Chark and 168 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: Keelan Cole and Chris Connelly, there's lots of weapons. And 169 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: as a guy that I'm fond of, used to say, 170 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: when you throw to the tight end, you're throwing to 171 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: the worst receiver on the field. Now I don't always 172 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: believe that's true, but these other guys stretched the field 173 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: and create issues. I think the tight end position will come. 174 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: Tyler Eifford is a guy that Minshew has developed a 175 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: relationship with, and there will be opportunities for it. It 176 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: could be even this week with the receivers against a 177 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: depleted secondary in Nashville. It's a part of the offense. 178 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: It's a part of every team's offense, and half the 179 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: teams in the league this week are listening to their 180 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: fans say, why didn't you get the tight end involved? Right? Um, 181 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: The reality of it is is that this offense is 182 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: right now trying to figure out what it is. In 183 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: other words, they're taking what teams are giving them and 184 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: figuring out what men show does well. At least Jay 185 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: Gruden is so until he has a better grasp of 186 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: what his quarterback does well and how he reacts to 187 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: different situations in live game action. And remember last Sunday 188 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: was the first game that they had that he's gonna 189 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: take what he's given and he was given the shots 190 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: down the field. That may change this week. Absolutely very 191 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: curious to see how this offense now looks against a 192 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: talented Titans defense that we mentioned is very deep in 193 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: all kinds of levels, as we welcome in my teeth 194 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: next on Jack's Drive Time Voice of the Tennessee Times 195 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: to give us a preview of that game coming up. 196 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: And you can step up to luxury now.

We're back on a Thursday morning and 227 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: very excited to welcome in the voice of the Tennessee 228 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: tight Ends and Mike keep here with us after coming 229 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: off a Monday night football win, a very short week. 230 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: So Mike, first I have to ask you did you 231 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: get a nap in? Are you rested? I mean, what 232 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: time did you guys get back in Tennessee Tuesday morning? Well, 233 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: we are certainly flying commercially right now. We did travel 234 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: and and did the game in Denver, got back very 235 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: very early. I would say midday Ashland is probably the 236 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: best way to put it. So I'm recovering now. But uh, 237 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: it was. It was exciting to be part of Monday 238 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: night football. Not quite as exciting to be part of 239 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: the late game on Monday night. I think maybe they 240 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: should think about doing that with two West Coast teams. Uh, 241 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: that should be the annual sort of plan for the NFL. 242 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: Just a suggestion now, twenty years ago, Mike, it would 243 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: have been right when we were younger. Sure, when we 244 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: were a young man sexton, we did not need to 245 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: sleep at all. As older folks, it's a little more difficult. 246 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it was fun. The the whole experience of 247 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: going there and doing it in the way that we 248 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: had to do it was sort of invigorating. Um, because 249 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: there were there were a lot of things that from 250 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: a broadcast standpoint, we were we were not. We did 251 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: not have available to us. We didn't have as many people, 252 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: we didn't have as much equipment. We had to be creative. 253 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: We we knew we were going to have to get 254 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: there on our own and do some things. And in 255 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: some ways that was really a lot of fun. You know, 256 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: I kind of missed the other stuff, you know, the conveniences, 257 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: but it was it was a good experience for us. 258 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: We learned a lot. And I'll say this for the 259 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: people in Denver, they were so helpful. I mean, and 260 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: and and That's what we're really finding kind of freeware 261 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: I think right now, is that people are really being cooperative, 262 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: they're being thoughtful about things. Um you know, like even 263 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: at our hotel, they were just like, Hey, if you 264 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: need to stay an extra hour because the game's late, 265 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: do that, no problem. And you just really appreciate that courtesy, 266 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: and you certainly don't ever want to take that for granted. 267 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I didn't I didn't see the game, 268 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: and I'm not aware was that stadium empty? Did they 269 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: have any fans? And then how do you expect it 270 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: to be for you personally on Sunday when there's not 271 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: a fan in the stands at a place that generally 272 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: has a heck of a crowd. Yeah, it was so strange. 273 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: So we played in Denver last October, and Denver had 274 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: sold out every home game since the NFL merger, and 275 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: when we walked in there, it was as strange as 276 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: anything you've ever seen, especially considering the trip that we 277 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: had spent um back in back last October. You know, 278 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: we all played den for every year and so I 279 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: think it's one of the five best places to play 280 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And then not have fans. Was so 281 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: strange from the energy standpoint, the two you have two 282 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: NFL teams warming up and there's nobody there, and you're like, 283 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: are we at a scrimmage? Is this um? You know? 284 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: Is this even real? It wasn't until the middle of 285 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: the second quarter, Brian that it felt real. And so 286 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: I guess I'll be used to that this week. We're 287 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: not gonna play in front of fans the Titans um 288 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: in the month of September. We we obviously did Denver. 289 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: We're home this week, and then we go to Minnesota 290 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: next week and they won't have any fans. So, I mean, 291 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: it's hot. It is just odd from the energy standpoint, 292 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: But once you get into it, you say, man, I'm 293 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: just glad we're playing football. I'm just so thankful that 294 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: we get the opportunity to be there and there's football 295 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: going on. All right, Mike, Now going to the football team. 296 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: Now that we've talked all about these fans, we talked 297 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: a lot about Jadave and Clowney in this last block, 298 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: and we listened to his press conference where he admitted 299 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: he was a little bit rusty, which is kind of 300 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: scary to Jaguars fans because he was impactful early on 301 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,239 Speaker 1: in the game. What have you seen from him? What 302 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: can we expect from him on Sunday? And is it 303 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: true that his progression kind of slowed down as the 304 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: game went on on Monday? If it actually it felt 305 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: like it did. Early in the game, he was so 306 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: apparent and just so explosive. But he played forty seven 307 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: of fifty nine plays, which is really remarkable considering he 308 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: had been here less than a week. That he played 309 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: nearly eighty percent of the play days. Um, the thing 310 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: that the Titans had that ended up sort of selling 311 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: him was Mike Vrabel. Now, obviously millions of dollars did 312 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: that too, but Mike Vrabel and the fact that Mike 313 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: Vrabel knows how to use him from their time together 314 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: in Houston, and and that's what we saw there. They're 315 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: gonna use him in a number of different ways. It 316 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: will be interesting to see if he's better in week 317 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: two or if it's tougher because he played forty seven 318 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: plays late Monday night, and so the Titans get one 319 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: less day to get ready. But do you get it? Yes, 320 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean you you absolutely get who he is, what 321 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: he is and what he brings to a defense. That 322 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: that already has some pretty good players and if Vic 323 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: Beasley plays would have even one more good play. Mike, 324 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: what I can't help but go back right and go ahead, John, 325 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what are the overall expectations, busy? It's been 326 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: a strange franchise from the outside yet four straight nine 327 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: and seven seasons, which is an accomplishment, and then you 328 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: make the n f C Championship Game. But it's a 329 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: tough a f C. Is this super Bowl or bus 330 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: Perhaps you know our expectations Nashville around this team. I 331 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: think be in the mix. I think that's what it 332 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: comes down to is I think everybody understands Kansas City 333 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: is where they are with Patrick Mahomes right now. We 334 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: all certainly know Baltimore from our days in the a 335 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: f C Central, and they cost us a couple of 336 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: super Bowl opportunities, and so the Titans getting to pay 337 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: them back last year during the playoffs was kind of 338 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: sweet revenge in a way. But listen, Baltimore is not 339 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: going away. They're just not so you. I think the 340 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: big thing right now, John is being the mix. Put 341 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: yourself in a position where you have a chance to 342 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: win the a f C South and and that's obviously 343 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: goal one, because the Titans would desperately like to be 344 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: in a position where they could host a playoff game. 345 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: The nine and sevens have all been different, and it's 346 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: very strange because the first one in sixteen was unexpected. 347 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: The second one in seventeen was a disappointment because it 348 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: was a team that was eight and four at the 349 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: start of December and then lost to two teams on 350 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: the West Coast that weren't very good, and you know, 351 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: cost themselves a chance at the division. Ended up going 352 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, but cost themselves a chance at the 353 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: division in tight team that was a team that was 354 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: a little bit in transition, and Mike Vrabel's first year 355 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: and then last year to start two and four and 356 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: then to finish the way they did finishing nine and four, 357 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: that that ball club seemed to come together. So there, 358 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: as I say, the expectation among fans, he is probably 359 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: better than nine and seven. But I don't think anybody's 360 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: saying it's Super Bowl or bust. I don't hear that 361 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: from from anybody except my dad, and he thinks we 362 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: should win every game. Always. Just one quick thought Mike 363 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: on Ryan Tannehill you know. I mean, so many franchises 364 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: draft quarterbacks, and we Titans, the Jaguars have been in 365 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: this mix where they haven't found the guy, and then 366 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes Tannehill, who most people 367 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: had written off. And is he the guy? I mean, 368 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: do you get that sense that he is going to 369 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: be the man there for the Lincoln his contract? I do, 370 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: I really do. And he he blew me away with 371 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: what he did last season, and and I get the 372 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: stuff from the outside that he's got to show it 373 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: again because it was so over statistically what he had 374 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: ever done. But Brian, it seems like the right fit 375 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: at the right moment. The Titans are stable. I mean, 376 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: we talked about four straight, nine and seven. They're stable. 377 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: They have a stable front office, they have a stable 378 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: head coach. They have an offense that returns ten of eleven. 379 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: And he's in a place now. He's thirty two, he's 380 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: got a couple of kids, he's played in this league. 381 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: He's certainly seen the bad in his time. He's stable, 382 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: and he has taken over the mantle of the franchise 383 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: in terms of leadership both on and off the field. 384 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: So I think they feel very strongly about where he 385 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: is right now. And and you know, he was the 386 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: big reason they won the game Monday night. He made 387 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: a lot of great decisions down the stretch to to 388 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: bring the team back and give them a chance to 389 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: win the football game. I don't think he's gonna have 390 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: a one seventeen passer rating every year, and I don't 391 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: think he's gonna average nearly ten yards per attempt. But 392 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: as we all know, you don't have to you know, 393 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: you being being good is plenty good enough. He does 394 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: not have to be otherworldly in terms of his statistical productivity. 395 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: I think he's passer rating the other night was nine seven. 396 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: Hey give me that. That works fine. Take care of 397 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: the football, make great decisions at the line of scrimmage. 398 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: The other thing he has to Brian is, with all 399 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: of his experience and his smarts, his ability to call 400 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: a game at the line of scrimmage is a is 401 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: a big, big deal and something that the Titans have 402 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: not had with regularity since Matt Hasselbeck was the quarterback. 403 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: Inn alrighty should be a very exciting game Jaguars and 404 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: Titans on Sunday.

Uh you know, 454 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: I talked about how he loves playing special teams, he 455 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: loves playing football. Uh, he's gonna have an increased role. 456 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if he starts on Sunday. I kind 457 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 1: of think he will. But a very interesting guy and 458 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: told a couple of good Gardner Minshew stories, so it's 459 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: it's worth a listen, and not surprising that he responded 460 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: to Pat McAfee. Uh, he's that guy. He can he 461 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: can engage and he can win some Twitter wars. I 462 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: bet I love to hear Gardner Minshew story is worth 463 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: tuning into in itself ozone podcast coming up on Jaguars 464 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: dot Com. All Right, A big debate on NFL Alive 465 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: yesterday for the whole crew was depending on tonight's Thursday 466 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: night football game Bengals and Browns. If Baker Mayfield continues 467 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: to play like he is playing the host, the show 468 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: go on to say that Gardner Minshew is a better 469 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: quarterback than Baker Mayfield. It started this whole controversy for 470 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: some reason on Twitter, whether Baker Mayfield or Gardner Minshew 471 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: were the better quarterbacks. Guys, I really don't see a 472 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: no brainer here, Brian, maybe you can attest this. I 473 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: think Gardner no brainer. And that's not us being biased. Yeah, 474 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: I mean people get locked in on draft position, and 475 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: you get locked in on a guy who's taken number 476 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: one overall. The only thing that Baker Mayfield has that 477 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: Gardner Minsho doesn't is a rocket for an arm. He's 478 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: got a big arm. But in every other respect, Minsho 479 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: is the better quarterback. Let the numbers tell the story. 480 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: Look at the record, Minshew is a better quarterback than Mayfield. 481 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: And sometimes even when you have the number one overall pick, 482 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: you just you blow it and it appears the brown did. Yes, 483 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: very curious to see how that game plays out night 484 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football Bengals with Joe Burrow and Baker Mayfield 485 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: for John. If the Browns don't win tonight, I don't 486 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: want to know what happened to Cleveland. Well, and they 487 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: were sort of the vogue pick in nineteen and they 488 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: had that free agency you know, it's called the free 489 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: agency jenks. The team that's the most actively the big 490 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: expectations almost never works out. I thought they'd be better 491 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: this year. Um, they got tooled a little bit by 492 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Ravens are really good. They're gonna do 493 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: that to people. But yeah, if if you go and 494 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: to lose to the Bengals, then all of a sudden 495 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: there will be some rethinking going on. So yeah, tough 496 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: times in uh in Cleveland. Well, you've got each of 497 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: whom were selected number one overall. I mean if if 498 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: if the rookie goes in there and beach Mayfield, I mean, 499 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: whoa If Joe Burrow beats Baker Mayfield on Thursday Night Football, 500 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: I mean the northeast side of that stay, He's going 501 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: to sink into Lake Erie And we're not even being 502 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: dramatic here that truly will happen. All right, let's wrap up. 503 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: Top Pro Football Hall of Fame dominations are out in 504 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: Three former Jaguars are on the list. Fred Taylor, Jimmy Smith, 505 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 1: and of course Tony Basselli on that list as well. 506 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: Johns Right know, Fred Taylor was on this list as 507 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: well last season. But what do you think of these 508 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: nominations overall? Yeah, Jimmy has been on the list to 509 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is the stage that just 510 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: gets the process going. Um. I think I'm hoping this 511 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: is Tony's year because I'm tired of chasing it. But 512 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: I hope it's Tony's year because it should be by now. 513 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: And I think something to watch for the next couple 514 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: of years. I think Fred is going to start having 515 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: the same sort of momentum that Tony did a couple 516 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: of years back. The more you look at Fred Taylor's career, 517 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: the more you turn on his tape, the better he's 518 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: gonna look. So I think that's something to watch for. 519 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: I think, uh, those steps that you've got to take 520 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: to get into the Hall, I think might start happening 521 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: for Fred this year. Jimmy Smith is a Hall of 522 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: Fame talent, but I don't see him making it because 523 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: there are so many receivers. I mean, this league became 524 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: a passing league, and he's certainly I mean it was 525 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: five time Pro bowler. I mean, he was as good 526 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: as a receiver as anybody in his time, with maybe 527 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: the exception of Randy Moss, who you know is already 528 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Okay, but there are so 529 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: many receivers, and Jimmy played in Jacksonville, which is obviously 530 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: the smallest market in the league, and I just don't 531 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: know that he's going to be able to overcome it. 532 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: But does Jimmy Smith have Hall of Fame credentials? Absolutely, 533 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,479 Speaker 1: he has Hall of Fame credentials. It's just look at 534 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: what it's taken for Besselli to get to the point 535 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: of being on the brink, and think about how long 536 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: it would take Jimmy Smith to overcome the names that 537 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: are there with him. I don't see that happening. But 538 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: he is a Hall of Fame talent without question. Ask 539 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: any corner who played in his era. He was as 540 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: good as anybody except Rice and Moss. Ask any cornerback 541 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: who played against him. Ye, Hall of fame, talent, lock 542 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: stock and barrel. Just circumstances not in his favor. High accolade, 543 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: that's for sure. From John Osier and Brian Sexton.
