1 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Celebrating twenty five years of Jaguars football nine yards, it's 2 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: thirty enough. He just made eight people miss Ryan Jaguars. 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: Did you know Jack Jaguarris? Did you go? Jaguars Drive Time? 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: Ryan Sex steps that John Show, Ashley Ja Jaguars Drive 5 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: Time starts right now. Good morning, and welcome Jaguars Drive 6 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: Time Monday Morning, presented by Jet Homones. It's the last 7 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: week of the preseason Thursday Night against the Atlanta Falcons. Bryan, 8 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: you and I were just talking at the beginning of 9 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: the show. I can't believe this program. Next week we're 10 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: talking regular season. It's about time I see those sides. 11 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: It's taken a while to get there, but it is 12 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: crazy that we're almost there. Well, and this will be 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: the third game Thursday Night against the Falcons out of 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: four preseason games where it's anticlimactic. We can talk about 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: all the matter chumps and the spots that are open 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: and the drama that's there. And there is some drama 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: there for those guys involved, but most of the viewers 18 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: don't care. They're thinking Chiefs already, and Doug Morone alluded 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: to yesterday John that this week is about balancing both 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 1: the need to get the roster set and next week 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: get ahead for Kansas City, because that's a toll order. Yeah, 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: it's balancing, it's tough, and I'm sure we'll talk about 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: later in the show. It's an emotional time for Doug. 24 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: I've never been around a coach where this week isn't 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: emotional because the coach knows how much these guys give, 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: so he wants to make and the team wants to 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: make the right decisions on that. At the same time, 28 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: let's be realistic, it's the bottom of the roster, it's 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: the last four or five guys. They want to be 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: as ill as they as they can on that. But 31 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: even the players, they stay in the locker room, we're 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: talking a little bit about we need to get into 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: the playbook. We need to get these reps for Kansas City. 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: So you're really talk about almost two different organizations this week. 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: It's it's one that's already preparing for the future, and 36 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: then there are the guys who are desperately fighting for 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: their jobs or their professional lives. It's coaching and scouting, 38 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: and you know they'll touch in certain places as they 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: go for evaluations from you know, the tight ends. Coach 40 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: or the offensive line coach on this guy or that. 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: But you know the football coaches are onto Kansas City, right. 42 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: But you can't help but think too many watching that 43 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: this week really doesn't matter preseason. Why But to those 44 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: four or five guys fighting for that spot, this is 45 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: the biggest week of their career so far, and I 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see who they played. Doug 47 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: sort of hitted yesterday that he wouldn't play the right 48 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: guards Will Richardson and a j Can, thinking that they've 49 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: done enough practice. But he also alluded last week that 50 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: Tavin Bryan probably will play. So the guys that they 51 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: feel like still need work. I don't think they feel like, 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: well Richard and a j Can need work to be ready. 53 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: It's more who's gonna start. I think they can figure 54 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: that out. But there are guys who they still feel 55 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: like need work for the regular season. I don't think 56 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's anymore. No, I think we've seen enough of 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: them all right. That leads us right into big things. 58 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: Big thing one is how many how many jobs are 59 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: realistically open this week for guys to fight for a 60 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: practice squad and on the final fifty three man roster, 61 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: we know one thing, This is a very tough week 62 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: for head coach Doug Marron. And I'm not an emotional 63 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: person up or down, but this week is probably you know, 64 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: outside of anything happening in my family or things like that, 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: this is by far the toughest week. I hate it. 66 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: Big Thing too is the a f C South. What 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: a weekend full of drama. Lamar Mill Houston Texans running 68 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: back ters a c L. We now know about Andrew Lack, 69 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: Colts quarterback retiring from the game. We went into the 70 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: locker room yesterday and everyone had great things to say 71 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: about Luck, especially Calais Campbell. This game is very demanding 72 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: on you, both physically and mentally, so you know, I mean, 73 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: I get it. It's tough, you know. I mean you're 74 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna go like Telvin Smith. You know, it's the same 75 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: kind of concept, you know. I mean, if you're not, 76 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: if you have something going on or something that's you know, 77 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: you just can't give your awn to it. You know, 78 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: I make sense, you know, because it's just too hard 79 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: to do it when you're really all the way Luck too. 80 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: And finally, Big Thing three is Evil Genius. We've seen 81 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: the impact Dom Capers has on this defense, and we 82 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: see it when we see josh Allen, Unique and Gockway 83 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: and Kalius Campbell on the field. Taking away from that 84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins third preseason game, that was the biggest standout 85 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: was when you saw Josh Allen on the field with 86 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: the defense. Well, and remember, I mean this is Todd 87 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: Washers defense, no doubt. But this is where your Dom Capers, 88 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: for people who are too young to remember, was the 89 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: innovator who came up with a zone blitz scheme in Pittsburgh. 90 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: Uh and and how great those Pittsburgh defenses were, and 91 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: how far and wide that scheme reached throughout the National 92 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: Football League. So when you see Unique and Gockway and 93 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: Josh Allan and Kleis Campbell, when you see them all 94 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: on the field together, that's really the that's where Dom 95 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: Caper's influences felt He's going to help Todd wash find 96 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: new and innovative ways to deploy these guys. On this 97 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: particular play, Alan did it in god way for a 98 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: pass rush off the other side, a move off the 99 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: other side, or at least just the Dolphins being so 100 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: concerned about him on the other side that he was 101 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: single covered and able to get back and make a 102 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: play happen. Um, I think it's gonna be really interesting 103 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: to see this year how many different wrinkles can be 104 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: created with Josh Allen Unique and got Quay, Calais Campbell, 105 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: and let's not forget the back and when you've got 106 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: a J boy A and Jalen Ramsey back there, it 107 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: allows you the ability to try new and sometimes crazy things. 108 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: Because their coverage skills are so good and you haven't 109 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: even mentioned Miles Jack and Marcel Darius. You're starting to 110 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: talk about an incredible amount of talent that certainly rivals 111 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: what they had in two thousands seventeen. I said, how 112 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: long I think this defense has a chance to be 113 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: better than that year's defense. I don't think they're gonna 114 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: miss Tellvin Smith as long as Quincy Williams gets back. Um. 115 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: I hope I don't see a whole lot of the 116 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: pure zone blitz because I'm not a big fan of 117 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: dropping defensive line right. You do not want to Calais 118 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: Campbell back and forward, and it's becomes sort of a 119 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: thing where people talk about a three or four defense 120 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: and zone blitz sort of interchangeably. I'd be fine with 121 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of A three four as long as 122 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: it's Alan and got Way and Campbell going after the 123 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: past or most of the time. And not to get 124 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: what you're gonna say, and not to get too deep 125 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: into the weeds here, but there are some circumstances where 126 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: you might see Marcel Darius drop off the line of 127 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: scrimmage into a short zone so that Myles jack and 128 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: blitz from behind him. But that's not going to be there. 129 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: Their bread and butter, they're they're calling card, however you 130 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: want to term it. I just I'm very interested. The 131 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: addition of Josh Allen got a lot of attention for 132 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: obvious reasons. We've seen it. He's a tremendous athlete, um 133 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: dom coming back because he was here last year in 134 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: sort of an advisory role. It was just kind of, oh, yeah, 135 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: well so we're gonna pay them a little bit more 136 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: and he'll travel with the team. I don't know. I mean, no, 137 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: that's no, no, that's not no. He's here for very 138 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: specific reasons, um, not the least of which is he 139 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: was here twenty years a go. When the Jaguars put 140 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: a defense out on the field. It was very very innovative. Uh, 141 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: attacked with Bryce Pop and Tony Brackens and Kevin Hardy 142 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: and those guys. So I think it's gonna be interesting 143 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: to see the little wrinkles, and they might go miss John. 144 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: The average fan might not see the little wrinkles you see, 145 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: if Jeff Loghaman pointed out, Um, but those little wrinkles 146 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: could go a long way towards tip ball sack, interception touchdown, 147 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: which we all agree this defense needs to provide produce. 148 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: I think what's interesting is you might have a kid 149 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen who forces them to innovate in ways 150 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: they have him before. I mean this guy. Uh, it's 151 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: been funny as Doug has talk, he's gotten bigger and 152 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger offseason. You know, say he came in 153 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: at two fifty and I Doug had him at two 154 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: seventy five the other night. Um, and he sure looks 155 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: like he's playing it that way. Uh. He reminds me 156 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey in this sense. When you looked at 157 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey when he first came in, you almost couldn't 158 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: figure out how this guy physically could play corner because 159 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: he was too big for the position. Uh. When Josh 160 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Allen drops and is playing off the ball. It's it's 161 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: hard to come to grips with the fact that he's 162 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: six seven two seven six he right, well, he plays 163 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: and he's bigger two s five right now. I mean, 164 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: he is an unbelievably large human being to be playing 165 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: that position, and it's going to be interesting to see 166 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: if he is a position defining player, which he sure 167 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: looked the part. The look that isn't every down defensive, right, 168 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: They're hard to find, right. I mean you look at 169 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: Unique and Goa and Vic Beasley, two of the best 170 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: pass rushers in the draft over the last couple of years, 171 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: guys who have been near the top of their game. 172 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: Neither one of them plays the game and they're both 173 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: exceptional pass rushers, neither one of them plays that game 174 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: right Physically, those two guys are a different planet, right. 175 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: They don't play the game the way this guy does 176 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: running down on the line, getting into the backfield, I mean, 177 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: getting into the flat and making the play that that 178 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: Josh Allen made, uh seventh pick of the draft probably 179 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: could have been the second or third player of the 180 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: draft and no one would have blinked on at it. Uh. 181 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: He sure looks like that. Yeah, let's go back to 182 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: big thing to Johnny, especially covering the Colts for so 183 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: many years, surprising, definitely, But how this affects the Jaguars 184 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: is huge. Well. I never recovered Andrew Luck. I missed him. 185 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: I was there for the last year the Peyton actually played, 186 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: and then Peyton the year that I left, UH was 187 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: heard it was sort of his lost year. What's interesting 188 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: is in two thousand eleven, Bran remember at the end 189 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: of the season, the fan base here was, oh my goodness, 190 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: we can't let the Colts have the number one overall pick. 191 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: And that was the theme going into the last game 192 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: of the season. And I get that thinking. I also 193 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: know that what Luck shows, as much as anything, is 194 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: just because you get that number one hick, so much 195 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: else has to go right. That's definitely the benchmark. He 196 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: gives you a chance to win. But just having a 197 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, just having an elite quarterback, it opens your window. 198 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: But the Colt showed over these last seven or eight years, 199 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: you still need to put things with uh that window. 200 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay showing the same thing right now, 201 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: elite quarterback, not enough around him right now, to get 202 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: over the top. Uh makes you respect maybe a little 203 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: more what New England and Tom Brady have done. Yes, 204 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: Brady is the best of all time. They've also done 205 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: a great job of having the whole package around him. Um, 206 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry for a lot. I mean, I know, are 207 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: some of Jaguars fans like, oh oh this is great. 208 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: It opens up the door. Sure it makes the Jaguars 209 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: life easier. But I've always taken the approach, and I'm 210 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: sure the Jaguars took the approach and Manning was here. 211 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: I wasn't here. Who cares what they have on the 212 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: other side, be a good enough team to go beat him? 213 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: Own't a relish another team not having a guy did 214 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: Wars really haven't matched up that poor against the Colts 215 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: with luck. Luck wasn't a guy who's owned this team 216 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: the way some quarters shut out here last. So I 217 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: didn't really think about that when I first saw the news. 218 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: I just thought, you know, here's a guy who, Um, 219 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: it's odd that he's walking away, and I'm sorry that 220 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: he's walking away, because you hate to see a guy 221 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: have to walk away in his prime. Well, the game 222 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: is not better for having lost one of its defining 223 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: quarterback because even though he has lost time to injury, 224 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: massive time to injury. You're talking about a guy who 225 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: was a top five quarterback. It's the little things that 226 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: he did well, but his size, speed, strength, smarts. Um, 227 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: the game is not better without him in any respect. 228 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: So I hate the same. I'm sorry. Give the guy 229 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: credit to remember, Um, he came in and was good immediately, 230 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: which is sort of rare. Even the great ones come 231 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: in and it usually takes them a year. Everybody's talking 232 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: about the year that Baker Mayfield had last year and 233 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: it was impressive. It wasn't but um, it wasn't Luck impressive. 234 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: He's not Luck good. No, but Luck came in and 235 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: immediately that next year was making plays, had the field vision. 236 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: I don't think he ever quite fulfilled all the heights expected, 237 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: but if you can look at his numbers, he he 238 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: put up some really, really good seasons. When he was 239 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: talking about the number one overall pick, Baker Mayfield was 240 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, Andrew Luck was the number 241 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: one overall pick. To me, there's a world of difference 242 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: between those two guys. Luck was a guy who could 243 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: compete without a great offensive line until last year, without 244 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: talent all over the defensive line. You look at what 245 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: the Browns have built around Baker Mayfield. They've been able 246 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: to use the salary cap and wisely in many cases, 247 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: put a lot of talent around him. Luck superseded that. 248 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: Look at t Y Hilton. Name another receiver of his 249 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: that was was worth I don't want to say worth 250 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: of darn, but you've got you get my point. Yeah, 251 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: he had ready early in his career. But yeah, but 252 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: that's that he didn't have a lot. But Luck is 253 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: a guy who defined the team. Mayfield may need the 254 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: team to define him. The other thing that stands out 255 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: you mentioned Tom Brady. I saw a photo somewhere on 256 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: the web this morning of Brady and Luck standing talking 257 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: to one another after a game and thinking about lux 258 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: comments about being tired, about being heard about being mentally exhausted. 259 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: And then you look at Brady, who you know, just 260 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: has that eye of the tiger, I mean, just wants 261 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: to keep going. At your twenty what do you say 262 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: this weekend? If you think last year was good, what 263 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: do you see what I have planned for this year? 264 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: Totally different? At twenty years There is nothing exhausted about 265 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: that guy. So and there is interesting respect here with 266 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: luck of uh, he caught some criticism to day. I 267 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: was interested to see what Steve Burlin had to say 268 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: about it being odd the luck walked away. Um. You 269 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: do wonder how this will effect his legacy in terms 270 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: of not really fighting through it at the end. There's 271 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of out out there. And I also 272 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: wonder if, after six months away, if this might be 273 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: a case where he wants to come back at some point. 274 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: I'd be a little surprised if that's not the case, 275 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: because it still feels odd that he's walking away over this. 276 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: I kind of hope he doesn't care about legacy. From 277 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: what I know of him, having read of him and 278 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: from people around him, he's not concerned about it. He's 279 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: got a hundred million buck. Who cares what people think? 280 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: If if we gave you money, a hundred million dollars, 281 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: you wouldn't come back. The answer, you wouldn't care about 282 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: the legacy if you if John was done working, John's 283 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: done working, and John is out the door. So why why? Right? 284 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: Why do? Why? Why do people? I get it, he's 285 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: a public figure, that's part of the deal. But um, 286 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: I I don't think anybody has the right to criticize 287 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: him in this case, and we would. Truly, everyone has 288 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: the right to criticize. I just don't. I don't think 289 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: it should. I don't think it would. You know, no, 290 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't listen at all. I know for sure we 291 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: would not see John again. Yeah. Here's the other thing. 292 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: He seems like and I don't know him personally, but 293 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: he seems to be a genuine guy. Can you pick 294 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: out a guy who's genuine versus the guy who's not? Uh, 295 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: you like to think you can. Yeah, I don't think 296 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: you really can. But he's certainly seen heem that way. 297 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: If he says he's tired, he's injured, and he's doing 298 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: this because he doesn't want to hang around and have 299 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: the Colts going wins Andrew Luck going to be back? 300 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: Is he going to be back? I believe him. They 301 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: can't really move on until the injury stopped, and they 302 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: don't seem to be stopping. And again he has a 303 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: hundred million bucks.

Football 330 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: season is heating up and there's no better place to 331 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: cool off on Gaby than the exalt to Spa Cabanas 332 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: whose friends for one of a kind waterfront experience now 333 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: for a very limited time by a Spa Cabana for 334 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: our primetime Thursday night matchup against the Tennessee Titans, and 335 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: receive a free commander for our season finale against the 336 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: Colts called Jaguars Ticket Member Today. Getting better. Hey, Hey Monday, 337 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: We're getting better this week. Titans? All right, Brian burning 338 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: gril Hot takes speaking of the Titans, this division is 339 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: going to look totally different. Yeah, So I'll go out 340 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: and say it. I think we'll know by September the 341 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: nineteen if the Jaguars will win the division because they 342 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: tape they see the Texans in Week two and we 343 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: know that the Texans offensive line is still a struggle 344 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: for them. UH. Lamar Miller, who, while not say Kwan Barkley, 345 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: is still a very effective runner of moving the chains, 346 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: is done for the season, and Jadeveon Clowney is not 347 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: likely to play in this game, even if he does 348 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: end up staying UH in Houston. So I think the 349 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: Jaguars have an opportunity there. And I watched the Titans 350 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: last night. UM, I know they've won four in a 351 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: row against this team, so this seems ridiculous to say. 352 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't impressed. They're gonna play without Taylor Lawan and 353 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: their quarterback situation is unsettled. I think if the Jaguars 354 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: can get off to a two and one start, uh, 355 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: and both of those wins are against those division rivals, man, 356 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: they're in the kawbird seat. They're in a good position. 357 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: That's way too early to say you'll know they're gonna 358 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: win the division because you don't know what injuries come 359 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: into you don't have things roll out. But we could 360 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: have a good sense of where they sit and if 361 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: they can get through these first three weeks with wins 362 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: against the Texans and Titans, and I think those are doable. Yeah, 363 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: you gotta think that. You gotta take advantage of the 364 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: opportunities right there for you go if you if you 365 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: ever needed the motivation, the fact that Luck and the 366 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: Colts who were thought to be I didn't necessarily think, 367 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: but we're thought to be so much further ahead than 368 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: the rest of the division. Well here's your shot right now. 369 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: Go take those two wins and have good situation before 370 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: you head into the month of October. Yeah, I think 371 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: I think they can be the division favorite if they 372 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: come out of that stretch one and two. I think 373 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: got Kansas City. Most people will favor them the lout that. 374 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: I think the defense, the way it's I expected to 375 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: play will make that a much different game. And he 376 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: don't remember, don't don't remember. Don't forget. The Steelers came 377 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: in here in ninety six after playing in the Super Bowl, 378 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: and no one thought that the Jaguars, who were coming 379 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: off of four and twelve would compete with that team, 380 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: and the heat was a huge factor. I just think 381 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: they have a tough stretch off, you know, the bad 382 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: early going to Texan, I mean, not going to the 383 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: Houston Texans, I think is the difficult but if they 384 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: can get out of that one and two and still 385 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: and if they happen to lose the first two, which 386 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: I don't think they will, but it's any possibility if 387 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: they can maintain it as long as you're one and 388 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: one the division coming at Coming out of that, I 389 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: think it's okay, But I worry about that first stretch 390 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: of three games. It's really tricky. Here's something else to consider. 391 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: This team played in seven team with the front runnersman 392 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: tallet last year. They were chasing the whole year. I'm 393 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: interested to see what their mentality is. Uh, if they're 394 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: two and one headed to Denver with division wins, two 395 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: wins against the Texans, I think if they're two and one, 396 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,239 Speaker 1: they will feel like they're undefeated three and no going out. 397 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean, two and one through that early schedule would 398 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: be a big accomplishment. Containing the history and starting the 399 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: stuff involved with each of those games. Remember you're starting 400 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: off against three teams that you were what oh and 401 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 1: five against last year. Uh, that is sort of an 402 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: outlier because last year doesn't really matter, but it's still 403 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: you get through that and then you believe. If they're 404 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: two and one, then they believe they're good and so 405 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: it's key. It's a key strap. But you also can't 406 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: help but go back to last year Week two against 407 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots, huge win, thinking, wow, things are good, the 408 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: team is sitting up really high right now, and then 409 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: everything so it really does it matters, But well that 410 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: was Remember that was week three because they lost the 411 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: Titans before when they had the lead, so uh there, Yeah, 412 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of concern, but at three 413 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: and one you felt like they could stay in front 414 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: of things before the injury started to pile up. Again, 415 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: take the injuries out because we don't know. You can't 416 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: forecast this is what that's going to happen with an injury. 417 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: But if you're two and one and two of those 418 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: winds or division winds and the winds, that your sale 419 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: because you're going to get the the Colts and the 420 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: Texans at home later in the season. Um, I just 421 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm interested in that. Now that it appears that they're 422 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: going to have Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback, uh, 423 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: they will have Jacoby Precett as their starting quarterback. I 424 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: think it gives the jag where something really to focus 425 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: on really be dialed in height on this first month 426 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: of the season because he can put them in a 427 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: good position. Right, my Bernie woodfire girl hot take is 428 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: he won't tell you, but Jalen Ramsey has changed. And 429 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: I say this because of his leadership style and what 430 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: we saw Thursday night against the Dolphins. I go back 431 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: to last February. Was it when I asked, Jalen, you 432 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: know what is going to happen with your leadership style? 433 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: He goes, well, I'm I'm not a raw, raw leader 434 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: type of guy. I don't give the pregame speeches. I'm 435 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: not a big high five guy. I lead by example 436 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: and that's it. But then we saw something, Brian, you 437 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: were standing right next to me when the Jaguars played 438 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: the Dolphins last week. As they were leaving the field 439 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: after warmups, Jalen stayed on the field and the entirety 440 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: of this team walking off and gave every single person 441 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: a high five. He's never done that. No. And what's interesting, 442 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: and I don't know whether people notice, is but when 443 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: groups run out different position groups run out of the 444 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: tunnel for warmups, the dvs all run together, and then 445 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: Jalen comes out a minute later. He's always the last 446 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: there was the last one, always on his own. Uh. 447 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: He always had been that way. So hear him doing 448 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: this struck me because I'm down there and I see 449 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: it all the time as him taking Remember that clip 450 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: that we showed from last year from the Titans game 451 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: with Todd Wash saying, hey, this is your team. Okay. 452 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: That's one way he showed it. Another was he normally 453 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: sits back on the bench and just you know, focuses 454 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: on what he's doing. But he and A. J. Boyer 455 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: were up on the sidelines standing behind um H. John D. Philippo, 456 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: who was calling flip wasn't down there. The quarterbacks coach 457 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: was down there, but they were calling plays and he 458 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: was out there. They were talking, they were engaged, they 459 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: were interested in what was going on in the field 460 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: in a preseason game. Well, I mean, no, I've never 461 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: seen that before. So make what you want out of that. 462 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: And Jalen might dismiss it if he were sitting here 463 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: right now. That's why I'm saying, he's not going to 464 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 1: tell again, make what you want out of it. But 465 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: there is you can see something different in Jalen's approach 466 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: this year. Now. Maybe it's just motivated by the money, right, 467 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the brink strong. He wants to get paid, 468 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: but I think he knows that if he wants to 469 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: get paid at the top of the market, he has 470 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: to perform on and off the field. At the top 471 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: of the market. It's more than just hey, you're the 472 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: best corner in the league. Here's the check. It's hey, 473 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: you're the best corner of the league, and you're vital 474 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: to our franchise. Play the part counting on you to 475 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: be this guy. Um. And it felt that way in Miami. 476 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: Whether Jalen would agree with it or not, we thought 477 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: it was on Thursday night. Well, and I think that 478 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: it is to his credit because and sometimes meant to credit. Yeah, right, 479 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: When people talk about Jalon who have never met Jalen, 480 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: there's sometimes this implication because you haven't met him, that 481 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: the fact that he's sometimes to himself, uh and walks 482 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: to a different beat is a bad thing. And for him. 483 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: I never got the impression when he would come out 484 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: later with his teammates that it was I'm separating myself 485 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: because I think I'm better. It's more this is how 486 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: he prepares. He's always felt like he's sort of out 487 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: on an island and looked at and it's how he 488 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: prepares himself, and I'm not sure he ever gave that 489 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: much thought too. Well, how are people perceiving this? It's more, 490 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: this is how I prepare. Uh, this is how I've 491 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: always done it. And my guess is, I know you 492 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: guys have talked to him that when he thinks about it, 493 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: well people are perceiving that that way, then maybe I 494 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: can change. He's smart enough to do that, But I've 495 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: never got the impression that he purposely tried to put 496 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: himself above his teammate. As much as it is, that's 497 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: just sort of how he is, and he thinks that 498 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: a corner is this way, and he's off to himself. 499 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: But um, I do think it's it's a tough change 500 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: for him to see something like that because he's always 501 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: prepared acted a certain ways. So I definitely give him 502 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: credit for making the effort on that front. And I 503 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't discount that in some way, shape or for Nick 504 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: Fools has influenced him, because Fowles has come on and 505 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: Jalen talked about him in the off season and what 506 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: it means to have a Super Bowl m v P 507 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: and how the respect factor is already there and you 508 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: see the way that Nick interacts with the offense and 509 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: the way he talks about wanting to make everyone around 510 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: him better. Well, if Jalen is really respectful of Nick, 511 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: as he said that he was, that could be a 512 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: subtle influence from the quarterback to the cornerback. I also 513 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: think it just gives them something to be excited about. 514 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: This off wants to win too. I mean, let's not 515 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: forget how miserable he was here in because he had 516 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: never lost during his college career, not like this. Um, 517 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: So you know, he sees all the factors lining up 518 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: right his team, Nick's influence, the opportunity to get paid 519 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: and to win. Why wouldn't you do whatever it takes. 520 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: We're just postulating here because he's not going to tell us. 521 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: But when you see those moves, which were decidedly different 522 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: than Jalen in years past, it's hard not to see 523 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: and be excited about what is possible with him in 524 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: this defense this year. All right, John, you're my hot taken. 525 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm stealing from Ashton a little bit. I mean, she 526 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: went this direction last week and I wasn't sure I 527 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: bought it, But I think Leonard fo Nett his approach 528 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: and how he's approaching training camp. I think he really 529 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: is for real now. I don't know what injuries will 530 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: bring with this kid this year. There's no way to 531 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: predict that. But I think the people watching, and again 532 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: Slynn touched on this last week, there's an assumption with 533 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: for Nette, because we've seen what he has been off 534 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: the field and the incidents on the field, that he's 535 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: a bad kid and can't change and all that. And 536 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of kid he really is, 537 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: but I know that around the Jaguars this year he 538 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: has a different feel to him than he did in 539 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: the past. And after the game last week of the 540 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: preseason game, he stayed in the locker room and was 541 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: talking two different people in the media that he had 542 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: no idea who they were. It wasn't a set up 543 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: situation with the PR. Usually with for Net after games, 544 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: the PR staff goes to him and says, Okay, you're 545 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: gonna do this time. There's gonna be a mob around 546 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: you and it's a bunch of cameras and when it's done, 547 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: it's done. He was talking to people from Miami that 548 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: there's no way he had any idea who they were. 549 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: Usually he would have been turned around as his locker 550 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: not doing that. I went up. He knows me, so 551 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: when I went up and talk to him, it was 552 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: a little more casual. Not surprised, Not that it's a 553 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: great relationship with him, but he knew who I was. Um, 554 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: he's more relaxed in that environment than he was. I 555 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,239 Speaker 1: don't know what that has to do within the hell 556 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: of play on the field, but he seems calmer in 557 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: that environment and seems to be making an effort on 558 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: that front. I think also what we talked about earlier 559 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: with Nick Foles's influence on Jalen Ramsey, I think he's 560 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: had a big influence on Leonard for Nett and in 561 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota and Minnesota ball to more this year, I was 562 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: interviewing DJ Chart and out of the blue, Leonard comes up, 563 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: which he likes to do. He likes to cut off 564 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: interviews and be funny. Um. But I was talking to DJ, 565 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: and when Leonard interrupted the interview nicely, he uh on 566 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: his own. He started talking about nick Fole, just the 567 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: influence he was going to have. UM. It wasn't a 568 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: canned response. It wasn't me sitting there saying what do 569 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: you think of Nick Foles? That was on his mind, 570 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: and he said it again the other night. I think 571 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: the respect that he has for Folds and some of 572 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: their leaders has for Foals is influencing the team. It'll 573 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how that plays out and if 574 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: the locker room holds together and doesn't feel as uh 575 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: weird when adversity hits um. That could be the part 576 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: about Nick Foles that has the biggest influence. Totally agree. 577 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: Right when we come back some ozon snapshot, We're John 578 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: Osher and the John Bars Digital Network.

Can you 611 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: imagine how unbearable would be? Uh, he would be if 612 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: they were actually good. We would never hear the end 613 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: of it from him. We already have to deal with 614 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: it now. The Alright, So I knew this one was coming. 615 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: Steve from Nashville, Tennessee. I don't think this team has 616 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:41,719 Speaker 1: ruminates roster for Taven Brian. Well, um, it's all Taven 617 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: Brian all the time and the other zone right now, 618 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: and he's become the target for fans to really focus 619 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: on the preseason, and everything he does wrong has become 620 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: sort of a lightning rode. He's very inconsistent. Um, he's 621 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: he's not playing the level of a starter at this point, 622 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: which is disappointing, But he's not one. He's not outside 623 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: the top ten in terms of the defensive lineman he 624 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: should be on this team. So disappointing so far in 625 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: terms of what you expected. Yes, a guy who should 626 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: be cutting up and even if all that wasn't true, 627 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: his first round pick last year, so they wouldn't give 628 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: up on this quick anyway. But he should probably be 629 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: the third maybe fourth defensive end, but he definitely deserves 630 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: to be back. Well, he's he's just big, strong, physical, 631 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: he's just talented physically. Um as any defensive lineman, interior 632 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: defensive lineman you've got up there, with the exception of 633 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: Marcel Darius obviously. Um, he's got a long way to 634 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: go in terms of understanding. There was a moment on 635 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: the first drive where he he did the wrong thing. 636 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to. Awareness was not there and Todd 637 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: wash lost his mind. You know what is he doing? 638 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: It's like they said to him, no, remember you did this, 639 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: and he then did that drove him crazy. Um. But 640 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: I've had coaches tell me that the kid really wants 641 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: to This is not a case of he's just okay, 642 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: which if you hang around him he get sentence Oh yeah, okay, right, Um, 643 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: that he really does want to learn to be able 644 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: to be his best. You don't you don't discard him 645 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: because he's a first round pick, but also because he's 646 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: big strong, I mean really big and really strong. If 647 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: you're walking down the street and you see him, you 648 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: go that guy plays professional football, right, I Mean, there's 649 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: just no doubt he's made to do this. They've just 650 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: got to figure out a way and bring dom Capers 651 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: in now. And you know, they've got to find a 652 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: role for him until he figures it all out that 653 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: he can contribute. He's also in a massive spotlight. If 654 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: he had been taken four picks later, at the top 655 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: of the second he would be much less of a topic. 656 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: He would still be overdrafted the way he's playing right now. 657 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: But that first round, he wasn't a top ten pick. 658 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 1: He was bottom of the first round. There's gonna be 659 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: some issues. If he had been a couple of picks later, 660 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: we'd be talking about a lot less. But he's got 661 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: that air because the first round pick. Keep in mind 662 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: also that some guys need development time. Does Dwan Smoot 663 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: come to mind anybody, right? He was a third round pick, 664 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: not a first round pick. What difference does it make? Honestly, he's, 665 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, a young football player who needs time to develop. 666 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: Smoot needed the time. We'll be talking about Smooth here 667 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. If you are patient, and 668 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: too many people aren't anymore. If you're patient, you're sometimes rewarded. 669 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: Well they have been with Smoot. Be patient with this big, strong, 670 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: physical guy. But you can't help but understand the fans 671 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: frustration when you group in first round draft picks together. 672 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: You see Josh Allen this year, you see Taven Brian 673 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: last year. It's night and day. It's a completely different 674 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: Here's a kid who should have been picked in the 675 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: top three versus Taven Bryan's pick at the end of 676 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,959 Speaker 1: the first round. It's a it's a mammoth difference top 677 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: ten pick and end of the first round. But I 678 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: get it's so first round picks. It could be the glare. 679 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Johnny from Jacksonville. Dug Moro 680 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: mentioned being concerned about depth or the options to help 681 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: with that. Well, the Jags closely watched the waiver wire 682 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: cut down day. Do you suppose they'll look to bring 683 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: new guys in? Now, yeah, they'll look, but you're not 684 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: gonna find depth of significant cross the roster. After cutdown day, 685 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: they'll look like every team does, uh know. And Tom 686 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: Coughlin he likes to turn the bottom of the roster. 687 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 1: They'll bring guys in. You might find Brian Um a linebacker, 688 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: uh perhaps an offensive lineman that it's better than what's 689 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,320 Speaker 1: on your roster. But but you're talking about finding somebody 690 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: who's better than your eighth guy and your sixth linebacker. 691 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: You're not talking about somebody who who is significant. And 692 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: you're also not talking about bringing in ten guys who 693 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you go from being what they 694 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 1: fear as a shallow team all of a sudden being 695 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: really deep. It just doesn't happen. You don't claim depth, 696 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: you develop it. That's where Dwance Smoot comes back in 697 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: how many people raise your hand? If you thought Dwance 698 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: Smoot was going to be a positive story at the 699 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: end of time, I think most people thought, well, he 700 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: doesn't spot here in Jacksonville. You develop depth. Josh Wells, 701 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: who hasn't been able to stay healthy. Tyler Shatley, a 702 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: guy that I think we all would agree is a 703 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: valuable piece of the puzzle. Will Richardson great story. Fourth 704 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: round pick, and people want to throw him out because 705 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: he was injured last year. Fourth round. You don't expect 706 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: those guys to come in and be stars. And now 707 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: it looks like he's going to win a starting job, 708 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: which creates depth. Because you have a j can you 709 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,919 Speaker 1: don't claim it, you develop it, and they're really deep 710 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: on the defensive line, by the way, and I think 711 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: there pushing being deep at corner. I'm not quite sure 712 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: they're as deep as they are intriguing at corner um, 713 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,959 Speaker 1: but they're deep in some key places. They might even 714 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: be in better shaving back up quarterback. They originally thought 715 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: you can't be deep enough to absorb the kind of 716 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: losses they did last year, and no you can't. In 717 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: this league. The offensive line nobody has the depth that 718 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: fan base is want. It doesn't exist in the NFL anymore. 719 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: The the top line starters are so good, there's so 720 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: much better than the guys that you can afford that wise, 721 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: behind them, you gotta develop, draft and develop Smoot and 722 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: richardson our guys. That are great examples of the way 723 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: that you create depth. You do not go and go, oh, 724 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: casht off tight end, cashed off linebacker. Come on, hey, 725 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,439 Speaker 1: we're better like that. There's your depth, Johnny. Six team 726 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: players on injury reserve at the end of last season. 727 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 1: No one surviving that with depth. All right, let's wrap 728 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: it up with Paul from Jacksonville. The reason I think 729 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: this team has a shot to be good this season 730 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: is that is the preseason we looked awful in the 731 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: preseason before well, if you think back just that two 732 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: years ago, it was you felt like the ship was 733 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 1: sinking in preseason has seventeen, Uh, the quarterback had been benched, 734 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line was in in this week on the 735 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: offensive line. If memory serves, they played starters in week 736 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: four on the offensive line to try to figure out 737 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: who should be who should be starting. Doug Maron was 738 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: that transparent about being worried about it. And they led 739 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: the league in Russian and the elements of line that year. 740 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it was as good as that ranking 741 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: might have indicated. But there was a lot of concern 742 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: about that team basically until the lights went on in 743 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: Houston and you saw the pass rush, and then all 744 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: of a sudden, after a couple of weeks of that, 745 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: you started thinking was might be okay. So uh, I 746 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: don't know how this team will fair this year, Brian, 747 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: But what I've seen in the preseason doesn't influence how 748 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: I think about it. I don't think we've seen anything yet. 749 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: I think this team has a shot to be good 750 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: this season because they've got talent. You go back to 751 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: two remember Lakes five interception day, how you felt about 752 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: that team after that day wasn't good. They're better at quarterback, 753 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: they should be more efficient on offense. They're better on defense. 754 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: If they just help the defense. Uh, you would think 755 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: they would be better. Now they have a chance to 756 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: take advantage and work, you know, hand in hand, turnover 757 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: short field score touchdowns instead of field goals. We gave 758 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: the example last week about the about the first punt 759 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: in the ball game against the Texans, and the Texans 760 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: fumbled and the Jaguars head in point blank range and 761 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: we just we all knew when this is a field goal, 762 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: they're not going to get a touchdown, right, That's not 763 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: the case. And if this defense gets to play with 764 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,399 Speaker 1: the lead this year, watch out. Here's different. Watch out 765 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: all right? When we come back.
