1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Dabos Meeny told like Peterson, look out for Trevor Lawrence.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: He's going to be something really big in the NFL,

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: and I definitely want you to pay attention to him.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: And Trevor was laughing like, now this guy's my head coach.

5

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Reporters podcast. Today is Monday, February seventh.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick, John Oser, Ashlyn Sullivan, Brian Sexton reacting to

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: the hiring and announcement and introduction of Doug Peterson's the

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: Jaguars head coach. We've got confidence, You've got some calm

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: demeanor about him. He's been there, done that, but it

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: really doesn't rub it in your face too much. It

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: feels like, and yes, he's driven to do it again,

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: go win another Lombardi Trophy. And and Brian, that's a

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: good tone at least to get things started, you know. JP.

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: The thing that start out to me the most was

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: that he sounded like a professional football coach right, none

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: of this plus two and all the stuff that you

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: put up on billboards around your your building. Just a

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: straight out football coach. And after a year of a

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: college guy running the show, it's refreshing to have someone

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: like Doug Peterson who played the position UH for thirteen years,

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: right played in the NFL, and then his coach for

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: more than a decade, a dozen years. It's it feels

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: like the right fit, the right guy. And I know

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: he was on a lot of lists early. John and

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: Ashley and I talked about him a drive time. I'm

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: sure you talked about him with John and Bucky on

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: the Huddle Up podcast. This one was always near the

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: top of the list, Ashlyn, this one just sounded different

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: in the press conference the other day, I don't know

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: what the word is. You think, Okay, hi are good people? Yeah, great,

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty easy to do, but in the NFL that

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: that's not as easy to do. And I thought it

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: was cool when he was talking about bringing assistant coach

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: since the building. He said, you want to bring in

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: people that you want to work with that are good people.

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: And I don't think it should be overlooked. Everything we've

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: heard about Doug Peterson. The amount of texting calls we've

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: gotten saying you're gonna love this guy. He's in a

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: fit in so well, he's just a good person and

43
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: especially after the year we just had, that is definitely

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: something that can't be overlooked. And John, he's got that

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: track record of success obviously to go with it as

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: an assistant coach went on to Kansas City comes Back.

47
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: Of course has a Lombardi Trophy and Mr Common said

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: that in the statement the other night during the announcement

49
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: Championship credentials, Well, he's got a skin on the wall.

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: That's a big deal when you're trying to stand in

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: front of a room. Well, there's only eight people involved

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: with the NFL who as a head coach had held

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: up the Lombardi and he's one of them. So that

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: matters a lot. And we've talked some and Brian touched

55
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: on it about how it just feels right and about

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: having a professional coach read in a college coach, and

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: usually organization ations who hired head coaches tend to go

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: the opposite, especially after they fired a head coach, because

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: it's just kind of your instinct. Okay, we didn't want that,

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: but now we want this. You can overdo that sometimes,

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: but on those fronts, meaning a guy who has been there,

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: who stood at the front of the room in the

63
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: NFL before, who knows how to lead professional athletes. UM,

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: I guess you can overdo the opposite thing, but this

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: time you felt like you needed the opposite thing. And

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: but it also feels like they didn't just go for Okay,

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna go and find the opposite. They went out

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: and found the right version of that, because you guys

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: talked to him and heard him on Saturday. UM. Very impressive,

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: and I liked what JP said at the top. There's

71
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: sort of an inner confidence that he doesn't feel like

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: he has to go prove it to you in an interview.

73
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: He sort of knows I've got to prove this with

74
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: my daily talk every day. I guess I'm laughing. It's

75
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: just so refreshing after what we've been through, you know,

76
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: j P. I can I point out real quick. I

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: was in Kansas City for the a f C Championship

78
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: game about ten days ago and talk to some friends

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs organization and some folks in the media

80
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: out there who all said that he has this calming

81
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: presence about him like Andy Reid does, and that he

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: professionally wants to be the kind of man and coach

83
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: that Andy Reid is. And I just can't help but

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: think over the last year how much this organization needs,

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, a big brother to put its arm around

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: him and say, hey, it's gonna be all right. You know,

87
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: we we know what it takes. Come on, let's get

88
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: you where we need to go. And that's kind of

89
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: what it felt like on on Saturday afternoon. To me,

90
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: what do you think Ashton about that? It's it's something

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: that's been missing around here for a little bit. Yeah,

92
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: I think I like what you guys say about It's

93
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: not cockiness, it's confidence. And I think it's because he

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily need this. He talked about the year off

95
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: he had living in South Florida, Gulf things, spending time

96
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: with his family. This isn't a pressurized situation where he

97
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: had to get a job right away. This was what

98
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: he said was the right fit for him. And I

99
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: think that's where we find that that confidence that this

100
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: is something that Jaguars approached him. He doesn't feel the

101
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: pressure that he had to go get this coaching job

102
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: right away. He had options, and he felt like this

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: was the right option. Can't you guys visualize? And again,

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: we're not behind the scenes to be in coaching meetings

105
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: or players meetings, But Doug Peterson strikes me as the

106
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of guy who if there's a crisis and there's

107
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people coming in that out of the

108
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: room saying how we gonna do this? How are we

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna do this, that he's sort of the guy stepping

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: back and after a few minutes said, Okay, everybody, let's

111
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: just take a breath, let's figure out where we're going

112
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: with this. Here's what we're gonna do. And everybody sort

113
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: of looks at him and says, okay, Well, if he's

114
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: saying it, I believe it. Yeah, that's sort of a

115
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: vague description, but again I was around that for seven

116
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: or eight years with Tony Dungey who sort of lad

117
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: that way. There's something to that in NFL, as a

118
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: guy who can sort of look at you and say,

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: I've seen this before, this is gonna be okay, we

120
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: just have to take a deep breath and calm down.

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: And that's what he feels like. He's giving the entire

122
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: organization and I know it's a generality, but it sort

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: of feels that way. No more deep dives. The deep

124
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: dives have been done years ago with Doug Peterson. We'll

125
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: take our first time out or return with Ashland's thoughts

126
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: on player reaction to the hiring. And this is the

127
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars Reporters Podcast. Welcome back to the Jaguars Reporters Podcast.

128
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, Ashland Sullivan, Brian Sexton, John Osier reaction

129
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: to the hiring of Doug Peterson as head coach for

130
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Well, there was some player reaction as well, Ashlan.

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: There were a handful of players that came into the

132
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: building early on Saturday to meet with their new head

133
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: coach for the first time. We've seen some of your

134
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: interviews on social media the last couple of days. Trevor

135
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Lawrence was Saturday. That's gone all over the place, which

136
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: is great. And we saw Josh Allen earlier on Monday.

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: I go out on the Jaguar social media pages. What

138
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: was the prevailing theme from those guys, and obviously it's

139
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: important to have those guys on board. Yeah, it was

140
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: something kind of truthfully, we ran into it. We were

141
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: doing a behind the scenes tour which you're gonna see

142
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: in the first episode of The Hunts in the next

143
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and Doug Peterson's first day, following him

144
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: around and as we were in the hallway, we started

145
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: seeing players coming to meet coach Peterson and and for

146
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: some reason, I I don't know why, I didn't think

147
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: that would happen. Maybe it's the off season or being

148
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: the week, and I didn't think there'd be a lot

149
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: of player interaction that day. I figured out the next week,

150
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: when the next Monday starts, they'll all come meet him.

151
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: And I was kind of surprised to see it was

152
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: a line out the door to meet their new head coach.

153
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: And we joked the first person was Tyler Shatley with

154
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: his two kids, and we were laughing, like, what better

155
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: person to meet the new head coach than Tyler Shatley

156
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: being the first one, just because he's so likable. But

157
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: James Robinson, that was the first time we saw him

158
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: with crutches and the boot healing. He said he's feeling

159
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: good at Trevor Lawrence. Of of course, uh laviska channel

160
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, multit of players coming and meeting their coach,

161
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: and John, I don't think that should be overlooked. I

162
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: know it's the right thing to do, but we know

163
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: players this is their one chance to travel, their one

164
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: chance to get out of town, and many players made

165
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: it a priority to meet their coach within the first

166
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: hour of him being in the building. Yeah, it's it's

167
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: a February fifth or six, so it's obviously they travel time. Uh,

168
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty smart. I mean I think I would do

169
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: it too, because you want to make sure you you

170
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: meet this guy, you get in front of him. I

171
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: think the list that you mentioned is significant because it's

172
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who should be core guys. Uh.

173
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: And certainly the high profile is Trevor, but Josh Allen

174
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: as well coming in and saying, hey, uh, you know,

175
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of this. I want

176
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: to make sure this guy knows I'm on board. Um.

177
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm not overly surprised, because if you're in down, why

178
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't you get there? But I do think it's significant

179
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: and I liked what I heard from Trevor and Josh

180
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: in terms of, uh, how it's gonna be easy to

181
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: get on board with this guy. It's all first day

182
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: stuff that you'd expect to hear, but there's a there's

183
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: a sincerity to it as well, Brian. You know, it

184
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: stuck out to me was how quickly those guys were there.

185
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, it was a rough season last year, but

186
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: it ended on a high note. But it showed you that,

187
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, the stink of last season, that that that

188
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: beat down that you know, the feeling that guys have

189
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: had around here in you know, in the in January

190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: and February and in there. I mean, these guys are

191
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: generally excited to get back to it, and you would

192
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: think they would be wanting to get far away from it,

193
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: not be here again until the end of March or

194
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: early April. But you know, there was an enthusiasm at

195
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: the end of the year for what this team thought

196
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: it could become. And you saw that was genuine because

197
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: they were here showing it again to their new coach. Um.

198
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: We've all seen how players kind of drag out of

199
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: here after the last interviews and can't wait to not

200
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: come back for a time. So it told me a

201
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: lot when they were there and they were there with

202
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: some energy, with smiles on their faces. You know, after

203
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: the year they went through maybe they just wanted to

204
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: make sure that it was real and sort of touching

205
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: themselves and say, like when good point, like when you're

206
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: in a desert and you and you think you see

207
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: water and you go up and it's not there. They

208
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that it's real. Please tell

209
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: me this is true. Yeah, not a mirrage, fellas. This

210
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: is actually the oasis in the desert, or at least

211
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: we believes it's. Take a drink because it's been a

212
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: long time. We've been thirsty for a while. Ashlan, What

213
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: was the best thing you heard out of Trevor when

214
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: you spoke with him the other day? We saw the interview,

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: but what was your highlight? Yeah, I thought the coolest

216
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: thing was we told the story on Twitter and within

217
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: the interview, but it was just cool. We were talking

218
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: about that phone call that was reported when Peterson finally

219
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: got the news, and the first thing he did was

220
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: called Trevor late Thursday night and he said that Trevor

221
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: said that during the phone call, Doug Peterson shared a

222
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: story when he was a guest with Dabo Sweeney at Clemson.

223
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: The two of them had a conversation and Dabbo Sweeney

224
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: told Doug Peterson, look out for Trevor Lawrence. He's going

225
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: to be something really big in the NFL, and I

226
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: definitely want you to pay attention to him. And Trevor

227
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: was laughing, like, now this guy is my head coach.

228
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Like you always hear like it's a small world in

229
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: the NFL and life comes full circle. But Trevor was saying,

230
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: this is like his first real example of that coming

231
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: full circle from college to the NFL. So it was

232
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: cool to hear that. He's really optimistic. And he did

233
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: mention Doug Peterson playing college are playing quarterback in the

234
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: NFL was huge and should not be overlooked. Yeah, and

235
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: I think the next steps should not be overlooked either.

236
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson told John you and I in the post

237
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: game show the other day on Saturday. The first order

238
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: of business the assistant coaches, the offensive coordinator, and building

239
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: that staff around Trevor Lawrence. We're seeing all the reports.

240
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Everybody sees Twitter, right guys, So John that that's priority

241
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: number one is get that right? Yeah? It really is.

242
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: And I would think with this um it sounds like Doug.

243
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I think Bucky Brooks mentioned this, but it's what you

244
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: read about Doug that he's very offensive centric. He's gonna

245
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: be involved with it. It's gonna look like what it's

246
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: looked like when he was in Kansas City. In Philadelphia,

247
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: Press Taylor is the name you keep here. And I

248
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll eventually be the guy Zach Taylor,

249
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals coaches brother he is. He is a Doug

250
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: Peterson Tree guy, if you will, there's a lot of

251
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: trust there. I thought it was interesting the other day

252
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: when Doug said he definitely plans to call the plays. Uh,

253
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: that's not unusual right now. Hackett and the floor did

254
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: it that way in Green Bay to a lot of success.

255
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: You can do that very well. And I thought it

256
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: was also interesting when Doug sort of went quickly on

257
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: Saturday towards if it's not right, I'll give the play

258
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: calling over. Briefly, I was a thing in Philly. He's

259
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: clearly thought about that concept some. And if you're gonna

260
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: do that, you want a coordinator who you're in lockstep with,

261
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,359
Speaker 1: who you know is going to be philosophically in step. Uh.

262
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't know who it will be, but it certainly

263
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: stands to reason that it's gonna be a Doug Peterson

264
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: offense with the coordinator working in lockstep, Ryan, what do

265
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: you think of that? That's you know that that's one

266
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: name that has been a warter. Pep Hamilton's was another,

267
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: but he's been linked to the Texans as well. The

268
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: possible changes coming down there, But uh, with with the

269
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: head coach dialing it up and actually calling it, you know,

270
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: it's more about I think the offensive coordinator in that

271
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: role would be Hey, get the scripts right, get everything

272
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: during the week done, get everybody on the right page,

273
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: and then the head coach comes in and dials it

274
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: up on Sunday. Well, I called a buddy of mine

275
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: who was on that staff in Philadelphia with him for

276
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: a time and said, look, think I really is about collaboration.

277
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean he really He had Frank Wright, he had

278
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: john D. Philippo, he had guy who had done it before,

279
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: so it was easy for him to go down the

280
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: hallway or have them come down the hallway with plays

281
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: and to be able to talk about what they wanted

282
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: to do. JP. To be honest with you, I'm more

283
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: interested in what he does on the defensive side, because

284
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean his success on offensive Frank Wright and Johnny

285
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: Pilippo these guys who have been through, um, I'm sure

286
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: they'll get that part of it right. And by the way,

287
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: the name Press Taylor was thrown to be on Thursday

288
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: night Friday morning, and really, I mean a guy, it's

289
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: exciting to see some of these hot young names be

290
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: affiliated with his franchise. But the defensive side is where

291
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm interested in because by all accounts, he turns that

292
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: over to someone else, he steps aside. Jim Schwartz had

293
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: it and was the captain of that ship in in Philadelphia.

294
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: So if he's going to do that, uh, you would

295
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: think it would be somebody who had done it before.

296
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen many names I saw I might called, well,

297
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: a long time linebacker in the NFL and a guy

298
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: who's on that staff over there with Todd Bowles in Tampa.

299
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see what he does on that

300
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball because that's gonna be just as important,

301
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: especially his fingerprints aren't all over it. And Ashley, that

302
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: you spoke with Josh Allen, you probably didn't get that

303
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: deep and what kind of defense you want to run,

304
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: But his excitement level, he's at cornerstone piece of that defense.

305
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: Miles Jack another question mark, Hey, where is he going

306
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: to be playing? What kind of defense? We'll have all

307
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: those questions for whoever this new coordinator is. Yeah, I

308
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: think it's interesting when you hear the names right now

309
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: with the Texans because we're seeing what's going on there.

310
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of decisions, so you see

311
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: those names. But that makes me question everything what happens

312
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: with the Texans and is that first priority when those

313
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: names are getting thrown out. So that's that's my biggest

314
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: question when we see those two names being reported out

315
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: of Houston. But I totally agree with Brian. I mean,

316
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: I think Joe Collin did an awesome, awesome job this

317
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: year's defensive coordinator. But I would think would be most

318
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: likely someone who's already been a coordinator in coming to

319
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: this team. I wouldn't see it being a defensive line

320
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: coach being promoted. I agree with Brian that the defense

321
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: has to be so on its own that you want

322
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: a guy that's been there, done that before. And I

323
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: had to sit down with Doug Peterson. I think it's

324
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: coming out in two or three days, and I wanted

325
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: to tell you what I was most I wanted to

326
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: tell you it's not just shameless self promotion, but I

327
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: do want to just point out this one thing. I'll

328
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: tell what I was most excited about. Doug and I

329
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: were having this conversation and he got it before I did.

330
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: He said, this is a lot like Green Bay. And

331
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: I started nodding my head. I said, if you turn

332
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: this thing on, this could be the Green Bay of

333
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: the South. And he started nodding his head. He gets

334
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: what this is because he was in Green Bay. This

335
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: is a market that it's got one horse and it

336
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: is going to cheer for that horse, or it's going

337
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: to be really unhappy with that horse, depending on how

338
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: it's running. And he sees how this can be just

339
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: like Green Bay. And I've said it for years. I

340
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: believe this could be the Green Bay of the South.

341
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: I was thrilled, excited that Doug not only saw that,

342
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: but really he wants that. He wants to be the guy,

343
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: the spark that takes this and makes it the Green

344
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Bay in the South. That is what in the business

345
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: we call a tease. And we're back in a moment.

346
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: Tony Vaselli is up for the Hall of Fame. We'll

347
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: get some final thoughts about that Super Bowl Picks is

348
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Reporters Podcast. Welcome back to the Jaguars Reporters Podcast.

349
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, John Osian, Brian Sexton, Ashelan Sullivan. We've

350
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: recapped our thoughts about Doug Peterson's hiring, an announcement on Saturday,

351
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: and the next steps moving ahead, player reaction as well.

352
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: A number of those guys caught up with Ashland over

353
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: the weekend. But now we move forward to the week ahead. Well,

354
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame announcement comes on Thursday night during

355
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: the NFL Honors Show. It's a nine pm Eastern time

356
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: start for the show. John, You're head in the l a, right,

357
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: so you're gonna kind of feel this out with Tony

358
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: and you know this is as good a years any right, Yeah.

359
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I have lost count of how many

360
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowls that I've walked around the press rooms beforehand

361
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: asking people about to Selly. So I feel like I'm

362
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: a immersed in this. I think about it. I talked

363
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: about it with Tony, I talked about with people who

364
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: are close to the process, and there's been sort of

365
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: a collective eye roll among the fans sometimes when you

366
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: tell them that Tony is eventually going to get in.

367
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: And I have felt that in my heart from the start.

368
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: And when I say the start, I mean four or

369
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: five years ago, when this sort of started getting going

370
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: and he started making making finalists lists. Um, I've never

371
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: said this before. I would be stunned if I'm flying

372
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: back from l A on Friday and he and he's

373
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: not in the Hall of Fame. I've always felt like

374
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: he had a good chance. This year. It all lines

375
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: up the three offensive lineman that needed to get in

376
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: to clear that roadblock or gone. It is a year

377
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: without any dead, solid locks walk ins. Every voter, you,

378
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: everybody I've talked to over the past four or five

379
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: years and said all four of those linemen will eventually

380
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: get in. They firmly believe that three of them are in.

381
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: I'd be stunned if you his in Tony's year. Bryan. Obviously,

382
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: we we all have talked through his candidacy over the years,

383
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: but to have it this close and on the doorstep seemingly,

384
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be a huge step for this

385
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: organization to have somebody with a bust in camp. That's

386
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: absolutely right, and I'm not sure if enough people see

387
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: what it means to the franchise at marge. Uh. You know,

388
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: Tony does National Games of the Week, as you guys know,

389
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: on CBS Radio, and he's out and about. People know

390
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: who he is. I think sometimes we we take it

391
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: for granted because we see him so much. But of

392
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: all the offensive lineman that John was talking about, none

393
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: were better than Tony Misselli. I mean he he was

394
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: the best left tackle in football. And Anthony Moodio's at

395
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: the Jazz for Awards, the Old Florida Sports Awards, right

396
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: after Tony retired, was there to be a presenter, and

397
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: he looked at me. He goes, you know, Basselli was

398
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: the best. And I said, but they say you're the best,

399
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: and he said, no, no, I think Passelli is the

400
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: best who ever played the game. Well, look, I don't know.

401
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: I won't even pretend to know the voting criteria and

402
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: how they stack it and all of that stuff. But

403
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: I know what a Hall of Fame player looks like

404
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: because I watched Tony Boselli every play of his career.

405
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: He absolutely should get in. We should throw a hell

406
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: of the party for him. When he first brings that

407
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: that gold jacket back to Jacksonville and we should make

408
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: sure that everybody's invited. It's really it's a big, big

409
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: deal Ashland. It will be the largest jacket in town.

410
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: I think the thing is huge and the biggest bust

411
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: in camp. I know that. Yeah, I would say, so

412
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: it is it is time, It is absolutely time. I

413
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: remember two years ago, John and I were down in

414
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: Miami and that was my first time experiencing the Super

415
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: Bowl and of course Tony's Hall of Fame um working

416
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: to get in and and just the the disappointment when

417
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: you hear it's not going to happen, and it's the

418
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: build up all week and you're waiting, waiting, waiting, hoping,

419
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was a disappointment and you could just

420
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: feel it in the room. So definitely hope he gets

421
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: in because he's been through it enough. Man, Just put

422
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: him in and don't put through the disappointment any longer.

423
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: They probably better get him two or three jackets because

424
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: he's never gonna take it off if he gets it.

425
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: He said, the biggest busting camp. And some people would argue,

426
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: you see that big bust every day and let's seriously,

427
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: seriously hope it happens. Because as much as we tease

428
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: Tony is meant to be left. He absolutely deserves it.

429
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: It's time and here's hoping. Final thought today on Jaguars

430
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: reporter of Super Bowl fifty six coming up at SOFI Stadium,

431
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, the Bengals and the Rams, Brian, who you like?

432
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Bengals because of the quarterback. I

433
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: was at field level at the a f C Championship

434
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: game and I looked in that guy's eyes. I watched

435
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: the way that he dealt with his team and his coaches.

436
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he is a cold blooded killer on

437
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: the football field. I think he's got Tom Brady Part

438
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: two written all over him. Maybe he doesn't win seven championships,

439
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: but when the big moments come, he rises to them

440
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: as he's proved to do. Watch this year. I think

441
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Bengals in an upset. I want

442
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals swim because I think they are so easy

443
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: to root for. They are the Cinderella story. And Joe Burrow,

444
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, they were talking about on National TV this morning.

445
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: If Joe Burrow wins the Super Bowl, is he considered

446
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: a superstar? And a superstar is different like for my mom,

447
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: for example, she knows who Tom Brady is, she knows

448
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: who the superstars are. But if you don't watch football,

449
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: would you know Joe Burrow's name right now? And they

450
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: thought the answer was no. But if he wins the

451
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, they think the answer is yes. And he's

452
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: so easy to root for. I just think the Rams

453
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: have a more talented roster. I would think they win,

454
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: but I'm hoping the Bengals win because they're just so

455
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: easy to root for. John. Yeah, I'm kind of with Schlann.

456
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: I My instinct tells me the Rams are gonna win

457
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: because I think their defense is going to be too

458
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: much for the Bengals, and I think they're going to

459
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: force some mistakes. But as soon as I say that,

460
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen a quarterback quite like

461
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: Burrow in terms of what Brian talked about, the cold bloodedness.

462
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: This kid is a star and he the unbelievable confidence.

463
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of special at the quarterback position right now.

464
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: You know mahomes Herbert. Let's hope Trevor fits into that.

465
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: But there's something about Burrow that is a little different.

466
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm with Slynn. I guess I'm long past

467
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: feeling like a fan. But if I was unaffiliated with

468
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, I think I would follow the Bengals because

469
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow. He's a fun kid to watch and

470
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a rock star for two decades.

471
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: If you I have to jump in here real quick. Look,

472
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: you've been to Arrowhead Stadium, all of you have, and

473
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: you know how loud it is. It is a circuits atmosphere.

474
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: And when the Chiefs were up twenty one to three

475
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, the place was coming apart at

476
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: the seams. It would have been so easy for Burrowing

477
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals to just go, well, I mean, this is Arrowhead,

478
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: this is Patrick Mahomes and it's only our second year together.

479
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: But they didn't. They fought through it, and in the

480
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: second half he took a part of Kansas City defense

481
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: that didn't have any answer. So I just think he's

482
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: up to the challenge of the biggest moments. Yeah, he's

483
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: He's not intimidated at all by environment or opponent or

484
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: what's happening on the defensive line or any coin like

485
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: he's He's had that at least in his final year

486
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: or so of college that we saw and now going

487
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: into year two of the National Football League. I'm with you, John,

488
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: I think the Rams are the better team. But the

489
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: better team doesn't always win in a single game format,

490
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: right The better team over a seven game series would

491
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: be a different thing. Um, it's sixty minutes of football.

492
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Rams though, because Stafford's finally

493
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: in it. He's finally gotten to that point. It's taking

494
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: a long career to get there. He finally got that

495
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: first playoff when off his back earlier in this playoffs,

496
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: and he's got that defense to go with it. I

497
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: think this is the sixty minutes though. The Rams get

498
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: it done in their home stadium, so that's my pick.

499
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: Remember it was those it was those Rams that played

500
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: against young Tom Brady. Hurt Warner in those Rams against

501
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: a very young Tom Brady, his first stable. The parallels,

502
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: the parallels are right there. I can't wait. Thanks to

503
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: good point. Should be a good one. Thanks everybody, Brian
