Speaker 1: and today is Friday, December four and Week thirteen is here.

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: The Jags visit the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. We've got

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: plenty to review from a busy week, including the aftermath

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: of the firing of general manager Dave Caldwell. Head coach

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Doug Marrone heaps praise on rookie running back James Robinson.

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: Plus Beth Moens of CBS Sports will be the first

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: woman to call it Jaguars game on TV or radio.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: She shares her influences and the drive it takes to

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: work in sports television. Let's start with the biggest news

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: of the week. In the aftermath of the week twelve

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: loss to the Browns, Jaguars owners shot con fired general

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: manager Dave Calledwell. He joined the organization back in On

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: a Monday conference call, Head coach Doug Marrone reacted to

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: the news. You know, obviously we're struggling to win football games.

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: I think that we understand that obviously, it's a very

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: competitive business. I think that you know, we have an

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: owner that you know wants a good product for our fans,

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: wants to you know, wants to win. There's no mistake

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: about it. And we haven't done it. And I think

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: that when those things happen, um, these types of decisions

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be made. Uh. Dave and I had a

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: good relationship, you know. You know it's not like you know,

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: we haven't been through this before meeting. You know, people

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: that have been in the league. You know, it's obviously unfortunate,

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: but um, you know, it is part of the profession

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: and we wish you know, like I said, I spoke

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: to Dave, and you know I wish him and his

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: family the best of luck. We had a good relationship.

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's very difficult, and you know my

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: focus right now is not on all the things that

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: maybe going on on the outside, but you know, trying

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: to get the team and win football games, and um

35
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: be there for the coaches and the players and do

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: my best job there. On Jaguar's Happy Hour Monday afternoon,

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: Pete Frisco, Tony Boselli and I discussed the change. Is

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: it too late, is it too early? Is it on time?

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Is there ever a time? Well, you can understand why

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: they did it. Now you look around the league. The

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Lions just did it, blew out the GM and coach.

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: The Texans have already done it. They're looking for a

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: general manager UM and a coach, and the Falcon Falcons right,

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: So now you're you're in a race trying to identify

45
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: the best guy to fill that position who will then

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: hire his coach. And Doug Morone is staying. And I

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: think in my mind part of the reason he's staying

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: is when they fired Gus Bradley, Doug Morone came on

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: as the interim coach and he beat the Titans, I think,

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: and and played close against the Colts and they had

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: some life and then they decided to keep them. Well,

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: this gives them no option of keeping anybody. You can't

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: make Jay Gruden or somebody the interim coach and he

54
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: can win a couple of games, a ruined the draft

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: pick and give himself some credibility. Now you're just gonna

56
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: start from scratt Now, I think you go and everybody

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: goes after the season. You start from the bottom and

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: retool the whole thing. Well is the first is dead

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: on because you have I mean, you have four open

60
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: things forget about the coach for a second. I think

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: we can get in this later. I think you're gonna

62
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: have as many as eight openings for head coaches this year.

63
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a bunch of them coming um and

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: so it's a race to get there. But before you

65
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: can even enter that race, you have destability at the

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: top of the house on the football side, who your

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: GM is and who's gonna be running and leading the

68
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: football side of the business. The Lions doing that and

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: even put more urgency because now you have four opened

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: the GM spots that you're gonna competing for. And I

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: think in a perfect world you'd like that GM in

72
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: place right after the season is over so you can

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: enter into the coaching carousel or the coaching race to

74
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: get your next guy. So I thought the timing was right.

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: You never like it. We're talking about people's livelihoods, and

76
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell has been around this organization. We all know him,

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: we have relationships with them, and so you never like it.

78
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: But Dave knows, I mean, this is a very I mean,

79
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: analytics have taken over this all sports and and some

80
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: people like it, some people don't. But you know what,

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: you know what the most most analytical thing you can

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: measure is wins and losses, and that's the only metric

83
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day that matters. And when

84
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: you're on the wrong side of the ledger and that

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: uh in that when you to measure that or that metric,

86
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up getting fired. And that that's what happened.

87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: So I think timing wise, I understand it. You're now

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and for the race to fill that void and finding

89
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: the right guy to lead the football side of the

90
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. I think the hundred losses and how that

91
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: became an issue last week kind of spurred on the

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: con family to do something. I mean, it's smart to

93
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: do it, but I think that was kind of the

94
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: impetus to get it going Tony, I really do. I

95
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: think from a pr standpoint, that's a terrible Look. What

96
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: do they that? What was it jp second quickest the

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: hundred losses in any owner in the NFL. And I

98
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: think he's the first one who didn't take over an

99
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: expansion team to get that. Fat is it wasn't the last.

100
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: The one who has the quickest was Culver House, right,

101
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: So when you look at that from that standpoint, It

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: really was one of those situations where I think they

103
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: reevaluated and said, look, we gotta start doing something to

104
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: turn the PR around. And and nobody plays PR campaigns,

105
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: But when you're the owner of the team and you're

106
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: that guy, you're gonna start doing something. So it was

107
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: the right look, it was the right thing to do

108
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the timing. Why wait until the end

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: of the year, because you knew they were going to

110
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: do it at the end of the year. On Jaguar

111
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Is Happy Our Wednesday afternoon, NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks

112
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: started throwing out potential candidate names. Here's what I say,

113
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: and here's what I think is really really important. If

114
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: I had two or three minutes to talk to Shotgun,

115
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: what I would do is this, when you're looking to

116
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: hire someone to take over Jacksonville, look at someone that's

117
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: coming from an organization that has had to deal with

118
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: similar circumstances and challenges. Small market, not necessarily a major

119
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: market where you have all of the resources, you're having

120
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: to attract people to come here. It has to be

121
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: more of a homegrown model. Examples would be Green Bay, Pittsburgh,

122
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo because those are unique circumstances. So I think it's

123
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: really important to understand what you're offering and selling and

124
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: where you are in terms of the landscape. I think

125
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: the big thing when when I think about the general manager,

126
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: general manager has to have a clear vision for how

127
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: to win games and how to make a team competitively

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: competitive year after year after year. As fans, we want

129
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: the team to be in the Super Bowl every year.

130
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: But I think a realistic thing is can I get

131
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: a team that consistently wins ten plus games a year?

132
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: Because ten plus games a year will put us in

133
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the tournament and give us a shot. Then it's about

134
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: what is the model that we want to use. Are

135
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: we a homegrown model? Are we going to draft and

136
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: develop resign our players and those guys are going to

137
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: be our core? Are we going to spend money and

138
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: try and acquire free agents? All of that stuff matters

139
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: when I look at it. Jpu said, they come in

140
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: a couple of different things. You have the retra has

141
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: guys who've been experienced. You have the young upcoming guys,

142
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: and then you have guys that are coming from TV.

143
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: The Retrays I think offer some interesting names. John Dorsey

144
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: from Cleveland in Kansas City. We've seen what he's done.

145
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: His personality is a un little unique and you have

146
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: to be comfortable with that, but a great evaluator. Thomas Demetrough, Atlanta.

147
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: There may be some pause to do that because Dave

148
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Calwell came from that. You may want to do something different.

149
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: I think Rick Smith could be an interesting candidate, not

150
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: only because he's been a GM before, but he's been

151
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: in that division. He understand the teams in that division.

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: And then I think I'll throw another name out, Scott Pioli.

153
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: He did it once in Kansas City. It didn't go well.

154
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: I think he's learned a lot and that could be

155
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: the challenge the young guys. That can be a bunch

156
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: of young guys. I'll though him out there quickly. Joe

157
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: Shane from Buffalo, assistant general manager, small market. We worked

158
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: together in Carolina. He's seen it done a few different ways.

159
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Cowden, who was also in Tennessee. Young guy, Joe

160
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Shane and him work together. That name would be floated out.

161

Speaker 1: Brandon Hunt is a young play young developed uh director

162
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Stealers smaller market. And so those guys

163
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: are intriguing. And then in TV Is, Lewis, Riddick, Danner, Jeremiah.

164
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Are those guys ready to handle all of the res

174
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: that every position is week to weeks. There's a lot

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: of good things made, some good throws and then few

176
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: throws to have back. You know, obviously you look at

177
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: those two two boy conversions and those could have been

178
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: different speakers in the games. So both players, you know,

179
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640

181
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,920

00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: just told me we're going with you again this week.

183
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: I was left at that. As far as week week,

184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: I mean I understand it. It's a performance based industry

185
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,239
Speaker 1: and all those have shown flashes, and it's about consistency,

186
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: and now I get it. When we return a Vikings

208
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: Jaguars players. This week on Jaguars All Access Television, it's

209
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver Colin Johnson who took advantage of his

210
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: opportunity last week against the Browns. Colin Johnson coming off

211
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: a game with a touchdown at catch and Colin definitely

212
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: was more involved in than game plan last week. So

213
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: can we expect more big things from you? And how

214
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: do you prepare a week to week knowing your snap

215
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: counts may vary. Um. I just always try to prepare

216
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: the best I can, and that if I'm playing every

217
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: single play, So I assume I'm just gonna play every

218
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: play and just adjustin Cornley. So whether it's my job

219
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: to play ten plays that game or play the whole game,

220
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: I'll be ready. And it was interesting you mentioned in

221
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: your postgame press conference that you feel really comfortable with

222
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: quarterback Mike Glennon, who was starting again this week, and

223
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: it goes way back to training camp and a scout team.

224
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: It seems like maybe you, out of any wide receiver,

225
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: might have the most reps with him. Um, I definitely

226
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: have a lot of reps with Mike, you know, since

227
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season until now, And it kind

228
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: of was just on display a little bit last Sunday

229
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: because you know, we've got so much work together. So um,

230
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: I heard he's you know, going to be starting again

231
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: this Sunday. You know, I'm I'm excited for him and

232
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: just excited to continue to try to make his job

233
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: easy by just catching the ball when he throws it

234
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: to me. And you were definitely giving high praise where

235
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: high praise is due to running back James Robinson, and

236
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: it seems like you and all the other teammates are

237
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: giving him praise because he's starting to get that national

238
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: attention of Pro Bowl and maybe Offensive Rookie of the Year.

239
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: But at least to me in the outside world, it

240
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: seems like he's the same, even keel guy and hasn't

241
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: changed because those accolades for sure. And I think that's

242
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: why he gains the respect of the locker room so much,

243
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: because just the ability to perform the way he does

244
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: and just continue to just work the way he does.

245
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: And um, always just a humble guy. And it's just

246
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: like I said, it's contagious to the guys in the

247
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: locker room. So he definitely deserves all the praise that's

248
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: coming his way. And um, he's just gonna continue to

249
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: keep balling the rest of the season and help this

250
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: team for sure. You said that you had lost the

251
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: touchdown ball from Sunday? Did you find it? I actually did?

252
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Uh I found it. Well, George found it. Are e

253
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 1: Q guy and he's always on it man. So I

254
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: thanked him personally for helping me out because it feels

255
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: like every time I score, I lose the ball and

256
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: then George saves me. So, um, I definitely have it

257
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: and it's in that It's in my closet and my

258
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: apartment too, So I got both my touchdown balls. Nice.

259
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: So what's the plan for the touchdown balls? You canna

260
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: make like a nice little shrine like a man cave.

261
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: What's the game plan there? For sure? You know, once

262
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the day comes when I get a house, I'm obviously

263
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: going to dedicate you know, a room to just maybe

264
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: the jerseys I collected from you know, my my college

265
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: teammates or the guys I respect around the league over

266
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: the over years, and also just the touchdown balls, whatever

267
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: I want to put in there. But I'm definitely gonna

268
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: have a manque for it. Nice big plans coming for

269
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson. Thanks much for joining us, of course, thank you. Actually.

270
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars All Access air's Thursday nights at seven o'clock on

271
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Fox thirty Television in Jacksonville. Let's get to this week's

272
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: match up. The one in ten Jaguars will try to

273
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: snap a ten game losing skid on the road in

274
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota against the five and six Vikings. They've won four

275
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: of the last five and they need the game to

276
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: keep pacing the NFC wild Card picture. On Jack's Drivetime

277
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, Ashland Sullivan, John Osan, and Brian Sexton visited

278
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: with Vikings team reporter Eric Smith for some insight to

279
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: their recent success. So, Eric, let's dive into this Vikings

280
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: team starting out one in five this season and now

281
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: in playoff conversation on a winning streak. What change for

282
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings that is this quick switch of now

283
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: starting from one in five to being in the thick

284
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: of things. Yeah, it's been a weird year. It's been

285
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. Maybe that's kind of on par for

286
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: how has gone for all of that. Um, Like you said,

287
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: the Viking one in five and it was not a

288
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: good start. There were turnovers, the defense really struggled early on,

289
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: and they lost to the winless Falcons at home in

290
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: week six to go to one in five just before

291
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: the buy in week seven. So the method from coach

292
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer at the by was, Hey, let's get back

293
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: to who we are. Let's get back to being a hard,

294
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, a physical, hard nosed, you know, tough team,

295
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: and let's let's go out and win some games. And

296
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: the team did that. They went out, they won three

297
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: division games in a row in Green Bay home against

298
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: Detroit and in Chicago, and that kind of got the

299
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: sales going a little bit in the right direction. So

300
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: now here we are, we're entering week thirteen, the Biking

301
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: will sit at five and six with five games to go,

302
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a sprint to the playoffs.

303
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a wild ride and and who knows

304
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: what will happen. Given what has happened so far in Eric,

305
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: this team has been really good. A lot since you've

306
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: been there in the last month. Is it playing like

307
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: what Mike Zimmer would call a Vikings team? I mean,

308
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: is this up to their standard right now? Yeah, I

309
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: would say so. And you know, if the one person

310
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: haven't talked about the bar Dalvin Cook. And you know,

311
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, Coach number one, this team to

312
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: be a tough team, a physical team, and that include

313
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: running the ball, and that obviously starts with Dalvin Cook.

314
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: He is the focal point of the Vikings Doffhans for

315
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: even as well as Kirk Cousins has played, you know,

316
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: in the last month, Dalvin Cook is still the focal point.

317
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: And I think teams know that because they're really starting

318
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: to key in on him. It's definitely in the last

319
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: few games. But yeah, Coach Number wants the Vikings to

320
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: run the ball and then hit play action shot down

321
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: the field. And offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak kind of fits

322
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: that mold really well. And you know, he's had a

323
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: lot of success in his career, especially back in the

324
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: nineties with the Broncos winning Super Bowl with Terrell Davids

325
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: running the ball, and it kind of played right into

326
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: what the Vikings want to do. They want to run

327
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: the ball, hit shots on third down, and then play

328
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: good defense. Now it's on the Thursday nights Doug Moron Show.

329
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Loghman and I asked the Jaguars head coach about

330
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: James robinson season so far, and he had nothing but

331
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: great things to say about his rookie running back. He's

332
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: been able to handle everything you've thrown at him so far.

333
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: He's just he's really truly an amazing person. You know

334
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: what I mean by that. It's just the consistency in him.

335
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: And he's a humble guy. You know, he really hasn't

336
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: changed his approach, you know, and when you look at

337
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: what he's been doing. I mean, you know, he did

338
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: it in high school, he did it in college, and

339
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: he's doing it here, you know. And for whatever reason, um,

340
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, we were giving him a little you know, nudge.

341
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: Today we're talking. I'm like, so what you were on

342
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: like for eight coming out of high school? I mean,

343
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: how could you not have been? I mean then I said,

344
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, you had nine nine thousand yards. I mean

345
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: who has nine thousand yards in high school and doesn't

346
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: get any offers? You know? And so we you know,

347
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: he and he's so such a great kid about that.

348
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: But you know, he's been so consistent, he really has

349
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: and and I really feel that, you know, if we

350
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: were able to get you know, if our record was

351
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: different and we're able to get leads. I mean his numbers,

352
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, he can be up there as far

353
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: as the top rusher really in the league. If you

354
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: look at it now, he's gotten the third or fourth

355
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: most carries. And you know, you look at his yards

356
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: per carrying and it's outstanding, and you look at what

357
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: he does in the passing game. So I think that

358
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: if it's you know, I'm sure he's not been exposed

359
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: to a lot of our fans and a lot of

360
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: people in the community. But I promise you this that

361
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: you know when you meet him. Know he's a man

362
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: of very few words, but uh, he has a great heart.

363
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: He's bright as as can be. Um, he's always practices hard.

364
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's everything that that that you would want.

365
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: I really really can't say enough about him. I don't

366
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: know at the end of the year what you know,

367
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: not this year, but at the end of the day,

368
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: what his career is gonna be. I wouldn't be surprised

369
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: if if it's a long long, long career and a

370
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of great stats. But you know, we still have

371
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: five games left then he still looks very good, and

372
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: his totals have been going higher now because again, you know,

373
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: it's one of the things we looked at early about

374
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, how much how much of how many touches

375
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: should you have? And you know now it's getting more

376
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: and more and and uh it's well deserved. The Duck

377
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Moron Show airs Thursday's at five o'clock on the Jaguars

378
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: Radio Network. We closed this week's podcast with Beth Mullins.

379
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: She'll be the first woman to call play by play

380
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: of a Jaguars game when she puts on the headset

381
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars Vikings matchup this Sunday. We caught up

382
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: this week for a public's Tailgate show interview. The extended

383
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: version is available right now on the Official Jaguars Podcast Network,

384
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: but here we discuss her influences and approach to a

385
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: career in sports television. Do you consider yourself a pioneer

386
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: of sorts? Or is that too heavy of a burden?

387
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: You know what, I know that it means a lot

388
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: um to other people and and hopefully is inspiring. Uh.

389
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: Two young boys and girls that want to get into

390
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: this business. And and I do realize, um that the

391
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: significance of it, and I'm proud of that. Um. But

392
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: from my perspective, it's always been my day to day.

393
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: It's always been my dream job and and something that

394
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I've pursued with a lot of vigor ever since I

395
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: was young. So uh, as you know what, while you're

396
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: in it and and you're focused on the task at hand,

397
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: that does make it a little easier sometimes to to

398
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: block out a lot of the noise and then uh,

399
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: perhaps JP go back afterwards and sort of embraced those

400
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: moments and and sort of relish in the the history

401
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: of it a little bit. What did you first realize

402
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: that you wanted to do play by play? And how

403
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's obviously difficult for anybody but to move

404
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: up the ladder, But what was the greatest challenge you

405
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: faced when you first got in the business. Well, I always,

406
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: uh like sports and I like talking, So there was

407
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: a perfect blend. Um. Lucky enough that I grew up

408
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: as a coach's kid, and I had three brothers and

409
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: a neighborhood full of little kids that loved kickball and

410
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: whiffleball and football and basketball, so there was an always

411
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: always a game going on, and um I was always

412
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: yacking away. I I wasn't a trash talker. I preferred

413
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: to be much more descriptive in my verbiage. And so

414
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: I knew from a young age and then uh mid

415
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: seventies the old NFL Today Show with Phillis George. That

416
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: was the first time, you know, the the old adage,

417
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: if you see it, then you can believe it and

418
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: and figure out a way to make it happen. And

419
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: watching Phillis was the first indicator for me that it

420
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 1: was something that I could do. And then it's just

421
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: a matter of, um, you know, plowing forward with everything

422
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: you've got the the other lucky break for better or worse.

423
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: UM I never had anything else I wanted to do

424
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: j B. So if there was a roadblock thrown in

425
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: my way, it was just a matter of figuring out

426
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: how to get under it, around it, through it, or

427
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: over it and and continue on my way. UM. I

428
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: was blessed to have a lot of great role models,

429
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: most of them men. When I was first coming up

430
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: that took a shine to me and wanted to share

431
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge and information with me that that

432
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: was greatly been official. So we're ready for the week

433
