1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Countdown to kickoff continues. It's Week two, the Kansas City

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up from EverBank Stadium,

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: and with the call of the game on CBS Sports.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: It's the reigning National Sportscaster of the Year from the

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: National Sports Media Association with the NFL on CBS since

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, our friend Iron Eagle. What's up, Birdman?

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: There was no championship belt, nothing like that whatsoever, JP,

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: So I appreciate it. I don't feel like I now

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: have to box those that want the title. We'll we'll

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: just do our thing and keep grinding away. Great to

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: talk to you.

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: You've got a sweet trip to Winston Salem out of it, though.

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: But I did have a canceled flight on the back end.

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: So things happen.

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: We've all been there, especially these days. All right, Are

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: the Jags ready for prime time?

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you get certain games over the course

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: of a season that you know, feel a little different.

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: And in this league, you're always chasing something. So in

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 2: the case of Jacksonville, you're chasing the Chiefs. You're chasing greatness,

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: you're chasing stability, you're chasing credibility and even in the

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: case of Kansas City, they're chasing history, so it never stops.

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: Even if you win a championship, you still feel pressure

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: to perform and hit a certain standard. I think the

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: difference that you feel with this Jacksonville team this year

26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: is that the standard is higher and the expectations are higher,

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: and rightfully so, They've proven to be a team that

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: are going to turn some heads over the course of

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: the season. And now it's certain games along the way

30
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: where people will make judgments and form opinions on you,

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: and this is one of those games. There's no getting

32
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: around it.

33
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: I nagle with us. This is a rare season for

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: any NFL team where you have almost everybody back from

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: a team that went to the playoffs a year ago.

36
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: There are no contract disputes yet, there are no free

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: agency things. Yet all those guys on defense are back,

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: most of the corn offenses back, plus a couple of weapons.

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: This is the year because after this season you might

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: lose some of these pieces. So this is the Jaguars

41
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: team to try to do it.

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're talking about the reality of doing business in

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: the NFL, because that part of it plays such an

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: important role. Fans get caught up in who's on their

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: team and rooting for their squad, and that's how it

46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: should be. But the business side of this is a

47
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: very important piece to the equation, keeping your guys together,

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: maintaining your roster and trying to playcate and keep everybody

49
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: happy because there are human emotions that come into play.

50
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: What you're getting paid, what you're playing time, are you

51
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: getting a chance to show your skill level so that

52
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: if it's not the team that you're going to re

53
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: sign with, it's somebody else in the NFL that's watching

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: your tape. But if you're not actually getting the playing time,

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: then you can't showcase your skills. So think about that.

56
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: Multiply it now by thirty two because every team deals

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: with it and that's part of being a GM and

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: an owner in the NFL. So you make a great point.

59
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: Jacksonville is set up this year to do some special things,

60
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: and now it's got to translate to the field. The

61
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: first really good sign of the season was the defensive

62
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: pressure that they showed in Week one. Anyone that watched

63
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: the Jaguars last year recognized they had to get better

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: in that department. They had to get to the quarterback.

65
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: They had to throw the timing off of the quarterback,

66
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: and now you're dealing with one of the best to

67
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: ever do it in Patrick Mahone. So the challenge is

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: out there. Can you do it again against a parental

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: perennial MVP candidate.

70
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that changes the whole dynamic. It's one thing

71
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: against a rookie quarterback, but then you've got a guy who,

72
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: if he keeps on this space, he might already be

73
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: in Canton with two Super Bowls, but you never know

74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be one of the all time greats.

75
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: And the way he escapes and does things the defenses,

76
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, that's a huge question obviously this week. How

77
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: different are the Chiefs if Kelsey can't go, How different

78
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: of an offense are they? It doesn't feel like they're

79
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: as explosive of it as they were a couple of

80
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: years ago.

81
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they definitely don't have the game breakers that they've

82
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: had in the past. Of course, Tyreek Hill, even mcole Hardman,

83
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: you had some guys that could wreck a game. And

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: you just don't get that same mistique around the Chief's

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: offense that they once had. Now, I would tell you

86
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: their running game is probably a little more effective because

87
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: Pacheco is a punishing runner and if you get a lead,

88
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: which Patrick Mahomes is certainly capable of doing for the Chiefs,

89
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: they can milk clock. They can wear you down with

90
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: his physical running style, angry style. So it might be

91
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: a little bit more of that compared to what we

92
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: saw in previous years with the Chiefs. Here's the thing

93
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: with Andy Reid, He's a problem solver on offense. He's

94
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: going to figure some things out. We recognize that he's

95
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: very creative and if you give him enough time, he

96
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: will sort through the issues. So the idea that anyone's

97
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: figured out the Chiefs now after Week one against Detroit,

98
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: I don't buy into it. They have been able to

99
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: reinvent themselves a number of times. Even in their two

100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: Super Bowl wins, it wasn't done in the same exact fashion.

101
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: So this is a Kansas City team that usually figures

102
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: it out when the smoke clears.

103
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: A egle CBS Sports with US Jaguars wide receiver room

104
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: and throwing the tight end on top of that Evan

105
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: Ingram pound for pound, is there a deeper wide receiver

106
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: room in the AFC, NFL? There might be better top

107
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: end number one talent. I don't know. Ridley might not

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: tell you that, But what do you think is overall

109
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: of this group?

110
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: You know, I had Cincinnati and Cleveland last week AP

111
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: and I would tell you Cincinnati would probably say the

112
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: same thing about their group. Although IRV Smith Junior at

113
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: tight end is not the proven commodity that maybe they

114
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: have had in the past. The reality is this pick

115
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 2: your poison if you're Jacksonville, because now with Ridley back,

116
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: and he is back, anyone that watched that game, watched

117
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: the highlights, recognizes that he can change things for Jacksonville offensively,

118
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: and that's already an impressive you add Ridley to it.

119
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: Considering what they did last year with Zay Jones, with

120
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk and with Evan Ingram. This is a lethal

121
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: set of skill position players that Trevor Lawrence has to

122
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: work with. It's legit. It's going to be up there

123
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: and any ranking that you want to go over, and

124
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: I do think it's going to be one of those.

125
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: Each week, it might be somebody else emerging based on

126
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: the game plan. It might be Ridley one week, could

127
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: be Jones featured, the next week could be Ingram, the

128
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: following week, and then Christian Kirk goes back to his

129
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: seven catch, one hundred and twenty two yard one touchdown

130
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: performance that we saw last year. So really good signs

131
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: for Jacksonville and also signs of how to build a team.

132
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: That was a smart play if Ridley could get his

133
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: business in order. Obviously they had to deal with the suspension,

134
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: but also just the personal stuff of him getting back,

135
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: getting comfortable, and man, they may have hit a home

136
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: run on this one because he looked every bit of

137
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: the number one receiver you were hoping to get in

138
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: an acquisition with Atlanta.

139
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: Final thought with you the coaching matchup. Of course, Peterson's

140
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: been with Andy Reid since he was a player in

141
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Green Bay, going back that far, and has been an

142
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: assistant with him obviously, but now reads a win away

143
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: from tying Tom Landry on the all time wins list.

144
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: That's pretty remarkable. But seeing their styles, that's obviously the

145
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: bulk of where Doug Peterson's coaching ideas, style mindset of

146
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: how to build an organization came from. At some point

147
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: you got to go beat him, right he hasn't beat

148
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: him yet.

149
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's part of this evolution. Of being

150
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: a coach is odds are you're going to probably go

151
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: against your mentor at some point if you've been in

152
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: this league long enough. This particular relationship, I think is

153
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: even more unique just based on the fact that their

154
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: relationship goes back to the coach player day, so they

155
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: really know one another. They know every aspect, they know

156
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: each other at different points of their respective lives personally professionally,

157
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: Doug is fairly straightforward when you talk to him about

158
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: this stuff. He doesn't mince words. He learned how to

159
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: be a real NFL coach from Andy Reid, and that's

160
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: not taking anything away from others that may have mentored

161
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 2: him in his life. It's just the bulk of his

162
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: knowledge base is from Andy Reid, and not just how

163
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: to call a game or how to install an offense,

164
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: but how to run a program. And I think, to me,

165
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: you're around it every single day, so you get the

166
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: minutia I parachute in parachute out. What stands out to

167
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: meet now with Jacksonville is the professionalism in which this

168
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: team is run. And that doesn't happen in every situation

169
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: where a new coach and new assistants and a whole

170
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: new concept comes in culture is a big deal and

171
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: from day one you just felt a very seismic shift

172
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: from Doug Peterson taking over the program and changing the vibe.

173
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: And it's not a simple fix, it usually takes a while.

174
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: With Doug, it was immediate because he knew how to

175
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: do it, he had done it before, and he had

176
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: been around it for so long. And a lot of

177
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: that does have to do with Andy Reid and of

178
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: course Doug and just his personal touch and his bedside

179
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: manner and the way in which he treats people, his

180
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: staff members, his players, people within the organization that have

181
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: nothing to do with football. You know, that's just Doug

182
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: as a human being and it's gone a long way

183
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: and bringing credibility to this franchise again, kind of.

184
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: Early season salvo. Would this be if the Jaguars pulled

185
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: it off? Around the NFL? Or is it weak? Two? Right?

186
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: There's a lot of football.

187
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: Left it is, but you saw the reaction that Detroit

188
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: got after getting a Week one win. I just think

189
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: there's validation that comes with knocking off whoever's at the mountaintop.

190
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: And that's part of being the defending Super Bowl champion

191
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: is you're going to get everybody's best effort every single

192
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: week because they know if you beat the defending champs

193
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: that following week. In your facility, there's something else happening.

194
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 2: You feel something, You feel like we belong quote unquote,

195
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: and that's a big part of this game is does

196
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: that permeate around your practice facility, through your offices. There's

197
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: something about the NFL that's different than any other sport

198
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: based on the fact that you only play once a week,

199
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: and you win, you feel the reverberations of that. You lose,

200
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: you feel that too. It's hard to get that taste

201
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: out of your mouth. You do it against quote unquote

202
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: the best team in the NFL. Potentially, it's layered, and

203
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 2: I think it would mean a lot for Jacksonville to

204
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: get a win like this and for their program just

205
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: to remind everybody that it's going in the right direction

206
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: and good things are ahead.

207
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Great crew on the call this week, Charles Davis, Evan

208
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: Washburn is on the sideline. I am Eagle leads the

209
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: way though as always always a pleasure. I jp looking

210
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: forward to it.

211
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping they have a chocolate fountain in the

212
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: press rooms. That's just a unique experience.

213
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: I've got the frozen yogurt. Now, that's not good for me.

214
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,359
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, that could produce FLEM. I don't want Flem.

215
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Who does nobody out there that says I want Flem.

216
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: We need more more. Will talk to you on Sunday

217
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: All right, Bud, all the best
