1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,519 Speaker 1: Getting set for the winner take all Week eight team 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: battle for the a f C South Frown. It's the 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up. Jeff Darlington 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: of ESPN, a national reporter covering the National Football League, 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: had a conversation with Trevor earlier in the week. But 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: first off, Jeff, it's it's good to talk to you again. 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: That means things are going well for the Jaguars. If 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 1: you're rolling through town, man, what's I was joking with Trevor. 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: He was like, Man, every time you're around, you're like 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: my good luck charm. You said, every time you're around, 11 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: good things are happening. I was like, like, I love 12 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: to take that, Trevor, but I gotta admit it's actually 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: the other way around. I come to town when you 14 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: do good things. I am a bandwagon guy. I am 15 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: like the Drake of sports reporters. I'm only around if 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: you're doing good. So I guess you'll take it. But uh, 17 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta admit it's not It's not me, 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: it's him. We'll take all of Jeff Darlington we can get, 19 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 1: that's for sure. How about this rally for the Jaguars, right, 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: I mean Tennis Tennessee Titans were seven and three. After 21 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: Week eleven, the Jaguars were three and seven, and since 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 1: then the Jaguars have gone five and one and Tennessee 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: can't win a football game. They're only six. And of 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: course it comes down to this weekend. You know, there's 25 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: a lot of talk around these parts about six. It 26 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: was a rally similar to that for that team, but 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: Trevor was minus three years old. So these guys are 28 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, forge their own path here. I 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: don't remember one like this. This is this could be 30 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: an old time rally for the Jaguars here. Yeah, I 31 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's great in every way. You know, 32 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: you can look at it, you can kind of break it, 33 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: break it down into many different kind of avenues in 34 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: which this comeback, you know, can be credited. Uh. And 35 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: you can certainly start with Trevor. I mean, and I 36 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: think that that's probably you know as much as yes, 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: that probably has a lot to do with the turnaround. 38 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: And I would say that Trevor would be the first 39 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: to say that it's a lot of different components. It's 40 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: chemistry with new players, it's it's just you know, Doug 41 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: Peterson's system being implemented. But you cannot ignore the fact 42 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence since that loss in London, is leading 43 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: the NFL and completion percentage. I mean, what is it, 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns, two interceptions. You know, the flip, the switch flipped, 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: and it was inevitable in my opinion, I think the 46 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: Trevor was going to get there. I never actually really 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: doubted that. You just wondered when it was going to be. 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: I would say that this has been far more dramatic 49 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: and and just far more just boom switch flipped and 50 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: it's it's it's often running. What were his thoughts on 51 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: I know, you sit down with him, we'll I will 52 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: see that over the weekend. Here your conversation with a quarterback. 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: So he's talked about that moment in London where he 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: threw the goal to go interception from the one yard 55 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: line first first in goal and hey, you know what, 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm hurting this football team. I've got to figure it out. 57 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: And some other guys around us have to always played 58 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: better too. So I think that was probably the moment, 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: at least from the outside look it in that things changed. 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: How did he handle that moment, absolutely uh. And I 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: think that he readily admits that that that after that 62 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: game he was really focused on being like, I gotta 63 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: get better. I think it is important point out, and 64 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: we talked about this that it's not as if Trevor 65 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: after that game was like, man, I gotta work harder, 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: I gotta do things different. It wasn't as if he 67 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: didn't care before m his his work ethic is never 68 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: in question, his um, his desire to win all these things. 69 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: I think that he just sort of had this moment where, 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of us can look 71 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: at in our line of work where you're just he's 72 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: I think he started to look at it based on 73 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: what he was telling me as I am hurting my 74 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: team and that's not something that I ever want to do. 75 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: And I think that whether that put him into a 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: different mental state, even if it didn't change his work ethic, 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: it clearly has made a difference. It is not coincidence 78 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: to me that Trevor after that game had this disgusted 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: feeling and since that point was able to turn it 80 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: on and and again. Not because he you know, stayed 81 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: at the facility for longer, not because he changed the 82 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: way he's eating or anything like that, but instead maybe 83 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: just like, oh, you know what, come to think of it. 84 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: One of the things he did say was that he 85 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: also what he did recognize is he had to start 86 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: stop pressing. He had to start playing his kind of ball, 87 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: which is kind of funny because if you're throwing interceptions 88 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: generally it's because you're like, I don't know, like you're 89 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: not thinking about it enough. And his point was, no, 90 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: I had to stop thinking so much to kind of 91 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: play within myself. So however you want to look at it, 92 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: it's working. I don't think. I guess there's something And 93 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: there's something to that, by the way, Yeah, and apparently 94 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: has worked out Jeff Darlington with us from e s 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: to be be in. Obviously, the difference of coaching minds around 96 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: him from one year to the next really can't be 97 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: more stark of a difference from what happened in his 98 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: rookie season to what's going on now with Doug Peterson 99 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: and Press Taylor and Mike McCoy and everybody's on the 100 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: same accord. What did he have to say about that 101 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: group around him really kind of carrying him forward? You know, 102 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: first of all, Travors to the point now where he's 103 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: he's I think exhausted by the idea of him talking 104 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: about last year, and rightfully so, you know, he mentioned Doug. 105 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: He just I think he said, like he just got 106 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: such an even keel approach two things, and he's like, 107 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: it just fits my personality so well. And it's funny 108 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: because a lot of times when you make a coaching change, 109 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: you do the complete one eight where you really go 110 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: from you know, we're gonna go from an offensive mind 111 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: to a defensive mind or a disciplinary into a players coach. 112 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: And I don't think that necessarily the Jaguars fully intended 113 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: to do that. But Doug Peterson could not be the 114 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: better person for this situation, given what they went through 115 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: last year with urban Meyer. He's experienced, He's played the game, 116 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: he's a professional, he has the pedigree. He just goes 117 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: about it in a way that I think it can 118 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: be respected in the locker room, which is really the 119 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: only way if you're going to flip a culture the 120 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: way that he has, it's got to be a personality 121 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: like his. And I think that that's vibe Weill the Trevor, 122 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: But even more so, I think it's vibe, but the 123 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: rest of the locker room, Jeff, they made it a 124 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: point in the offseason to get weapons around him to 125 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: help out the young quarterback. Evan Ingram tied End. You 126 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: know that can certainly help out a quarterback. And Christian 127 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: Kirk that's why they paid him all that money because 128 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: they felt like it fit in the system and could 129 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: be a security blanket for Trevor. That certainly has paid 130 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: off Za Jones and many ways has been that. I mean, 131 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: they don't have a number one receiver. If you will, 132 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: they do, they do. They don't need a true number one. 133 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: The thing that I keep forgetting is they are like 134 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: a few months away from Calvin Ridley being on their team, 135 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: and I keep forgetting that there's this little Christmas presents 136 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: still under the tree that hasn't been opened. But to 137 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: your point about this year, you're right, and and I 138 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: think that they have done it successfully by putting weapons 139 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: around him, even if it doesn't mean a number one, 140 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: even if he's coming. By the way, Kelvin Ridley is 141 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: so like, I can't even believe that that's that's on 142 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: the horizon. But I I will say that Trent Balky, 143 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: who took an awful lot of crap this offseason, and 144 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: myself included, I was like sitting there, like, man, is 145 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: this really the right move? Like are you really gonna 146 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: stick with Trent here? And potentially like change the coach 147 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: you hire based on it. And he has proven and 148 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: Shot Khan has proven um that that was the right 149 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: decision because he has absolutely put the players around Trevor 150 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: to get the most out of him. And by the way, 151 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: the number one priority of this organization had to be 152 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: make be sure that we put Trevor Lawrence in a 153 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: position to succeed. And Trent has done that and and 154 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: to his credit, and you know, I'm not really great 155 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: at like looking at awards and all that stuff, but 156 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: he's a guy who honestly should probably be in the 157 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: running for Executive of the Year if you really break 158 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: it down. Yeah, I mean, everything that has happened in 159 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: free agency is just paid off. That's pretty rare. By 160 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: the way, to have all those free agents they have 161 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: really on the defensive side to those guys. Don't forget 162 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: those guys too. So Jeff Darlington with us from ESPN, 163 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: All right, this all come down to Week eight team 164 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: forever in college at least had some big moments in 165 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: playoff games and postseason, but this is a little different animal. 166 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: So what did he have to say about this moment 167 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: Saturday night against the Titans. He seems like I can't 168 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: sit here and tell you that he seems any different. 169 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: He seems just ready for it. And I think that 170 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: that's what you do get in Trevor Lawrence that perhaps 171 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: can change the Jaguars organization as you get a player 172 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: who he not really that up or down about this. 173 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that Trevor Lawrence views a 174 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: play in game well, he views it as something that's 175 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: obviously incredibly important. I don't think that he's gonna his 176 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: heartbeat is gonna be any higher on the Saturday as 177 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: a result. But I he's just so cool man like, 178 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: he's just got a presence about him as that that 179 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: just is a franchise leading personality. And when I say that, 180 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: I just mean he's got a big presence about him 181 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: but also a very easy, breezy kind of vibe to 182 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: him that I just think is made for big moments. 183 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: And now that's my thing, Like, I know he's got 184 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: the talent to get there, and when he does, he's 185 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: the perfect person to be in that position. He just 186 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: has this vibe. I was telling, you know, after any interview, 187 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: and I'm kind of segueing here because i know you're 188 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: asking about the game itself, but I'm just thinking about 189 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: Trevor after he leaves the room. You know, we always 190 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: have like a It's funny, you always have this informal 191 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: like debriefing between the cameraman and the producers like, yeah, 192 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: that guy was kind of you know whatever. That guy 193 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: was cool and and Trevor Leeds and everybody just like 194 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: and they couldn't figure it out, Like he just got 195 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: a great vibe and they're like, yeah, vibe. Vibe is 196 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: the word. And and that's Trevor, Like he's just got 197 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: this wonderful demeanor that feels big but also approachable. And 198 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: I think that that's it's just perfect for Jacksonville. And 199 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: I think that we're going to see that show up, 200 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: whether it's this year, next or the one after that. 201 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: I just think that that guy is going to be 202 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: a superstar in this league. Yeah, it's certainly the biggest 203 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: star I think the Jaguars have had obviously that position, 204 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: and and really ever, I mean Jalen Ramsey for a 205 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: moment was that, but not Trevor Lawrence is going to 206 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: be a superstar. It's not even I mean, Jalen Ramsey's 207 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: a superstar NFL player. But Trevor Lawrence still to me, 208 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: has every bit the potential to be a Peyton Manning 209 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: like player in the NFL Hall of Fame quarterback, which 210 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: is I I just see that all over him, and 211 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: I think that we're seeing it on the field for 212 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: the past eight weeks. But he's the I mean, he's 213 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: the guy, and and he's now showing Look if you, 214 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: if you you throw out his rookie year by the way, right, 215 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: which I think we all agree we should, and you 216 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: just take this year and treat it as all right. 217 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: First eight weeks growing pains. Second eight weeks, he's coming 218 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: into his own. I mean, he is perfectly online with 219 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: the trajectory of star NFL quarterback, not the likes of 220 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: which we saw in Peyton Manning Jeff Darlington with US ESPN. 221 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: No matter what happens in the game Saturday night, I 222 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: think it's safe to say the Jaguars are poised to 223 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: control the a f C South for the foreseeable future. 224 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: Considering all the other teams in the division have their 225 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: own issues. Kinnessee is still does Tennessee is still the 226 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: team to me, by the way, that's still but they 227 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: don't as long as a quarterback. I'm with you as 228 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: long as Mike I'm a big Babele guy. Though, as 229 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: long as Rabel is the head coach there, it's gonna 230 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: be every year it's gonna be tough sledding between the Jaguars, 231 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: and I think that's a great rivalry, by the way, 232 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: a great divisional rivalry. The Titans and the Jags can 233 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: both make the playoffs every single year, and they're gonna 234 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: beat each other up on the way to that point. 235 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: I'm with you, though they got problems, but Mike Vrabel 236 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: led teams were always going to be in the mix. 237 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. You go around the NFL 238 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: all the time, obviously, so you're around the league around 239 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: the country. Is America ready for the Jaguars to be 240 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: good again? I don't think so, you know what I mean. 241 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: It always thinks like same thing with the ESPN. Like 242 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: I swear to god, they don't care until they're in 243 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: like the a f C Championship game, you know what 244 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean. Like and believe me. I'm I am full 245 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: duval baby. I'm like we got Look, Tom Brady is 246 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: not gonna be around forever. You know what I mean. 247 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: I can't be covering Tom Brady forever. I need another. 248 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm a Florida guy, I mean Fort Lauderdale. I am 249 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: pulling for the jack Bars to become I'm a Juggernaut. 250 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: But to your point, the sports world does not pick 251 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: up on the Jaguars until they are on knocking on 252 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: the door of the Super Bowl, and the good news 253 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: is unlike unlike then, when you have a quarterback like 254 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, no disrespect to Blake Port is one of 255 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: my favorite humans on the planet, You're gonna be in 256 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: the mix every single year. So when that happens and 257 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: you start to knock on the door, people better start 258 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: to take notice. They're gonna be missing out. Jeff, always 259 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: a pleasure. Thanks for the time and the insight, and 260 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: we'll look forward to seeing your conversation with Trevor Man. Thanks, yeah, 261 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks for and believe me, I want 262 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: to be in Jacksonville a lot. You're gonna be burning 263 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: up in any five coming. That's right.
