1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Wars, Did you don't Black Warners? Did Jack Guars

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Drive Time? Brian sex steps there ran as Jaguars Drive

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: Time starts right now. Good morning, and welcome to Jack's

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: Drive Time. The two thousand eighteen regular season is here.

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: It's giant sweating and we're excited. Brian Sexton, John Osier.

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Here we are regular season Week one, Baby, Let's go

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Giant sweat. Yeah. For to believe, it seems like training

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: camp lasts forever, even though it's much shorter than it

9
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: once was. It feels like it's been a long time come.

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't think part of that is

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: because we've been waiting so long since the a f

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: C title loss in January to see how this team

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: would respond. It went by quick, though now looking back

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: at it, Yeah, that went by really really quick. And

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: so here they are ready or not. And there's so

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: much to talk about this morning. So many things have

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: happened around the National Football League in the last couple

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: of days that beginning at the beginning seems to make sense, right,

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: And we always do that with the Twitter poll on Monday.

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: So here's today's Twitter poll speaking beginnings, which is the

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars biggest opening day win. Now, some of you may

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: have to stretch back and remember some of these, but

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: last year obviously seven and ten sacks in Houston. Back

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: in two thousand four, Ernest Wilford caught a touchdown on

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: the final play of the game from Byron Leftwich little

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: magic in that game to beat Mike Malarkey's Bills team

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: in seven. The Jaguars did. I mean, they knew they

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: had a good team. They were coming off an an

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: f C title loss to the Patriots, and Mark Brunel

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: was not healthy. Sir Rob Johnson started and they beat

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore seven. You know what I always remember from that game.

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: The night before was the night Princess Diana died in London.

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: It was a big story. And it's the only time

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: that an NFL season has begun in August. Anyway, time

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: off track, uh, in the final game is Chicago because

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: that you know, that was the first year that got

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: all right, we're ready to go. And um Fred Taylor

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: was a rookie. Jimmy Smith cat a touchdown pass to

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: win the game at the end. So we're asking you

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: which is the biggest opening day win in Jaguars history.

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: I have a surprising answer to that, do you you

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: have one better than that? No, No, I would go

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: with the I mean, I don't want to sway the pole.

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I know people will say, John, you voted for this,

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote this way. Um, but I think last

46
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: year's was I mean, I you know, I covered the

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: nineties seven and the nineties and the eight teens, is

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, uh none of those felt unexpected and franchise

49
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: changing last year is the way they beat Houston when nobody,

50
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: I think including us, expected the kind of season they had.

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: You wondered what they were and it was such a

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: tone setter that to me, it really, you know, sort

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: of rang the bell for this new generation. Uh So

54
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: I would say that really got this thing going, whereas

55
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the the ones before. It all kind of started with

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: the ninety six season. You know, I left the ninety

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: six off and you may remember that was over the

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers because they really didn't get

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: it going for about two more months that we had.

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: It was anti climactic, you know. I mean the Steelers

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: were never in that ball game. They didn't score a touchdown.

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: It was so hot and humid that day. They were

63
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: carrying Steelers off the field that we were all black, well,

64
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: black and gold. Uh And I remember Chad Johnson, who

65
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: was All Pro linebacker in that defense, was carried off

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: the field midway through the third quarter. It just didn't

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: have the same field to it. I was looking for

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: some dramatics, right. Jimmy Smith at the end of the

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: game in ninety eight was dramatic at Soldier Field. Ernest

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: Wilford was dramatic. Rob Johnson surprised everybody. Um, And but

71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: I think I think last year's well, it's the reason

72
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: it's number one. Plus let's be honest, people who vote

73
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: on Twitter polls generally skew younger, so I had to

74
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: have something more more related. I remember last year, before

75
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: opening Day us talking about and say, I don't know,

76
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is going to go, and

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: after nobody none of us expected that. Really, if there's

78
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: a theme to today's show, it's that we're starting off

79
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: with a team that we expect to contend for not

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship, but the Super Bowl. It's

81
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: been a long time since we've been here. Last year,

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: I can't think of another time since ninety nine that

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: I have thought this team could and last year we

84
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: didn't know what it was going to be last year.

85
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Last year was shocking. Ten sacks. Remember that was the

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: day that J. J. Watt ran onto the field he

87
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: was healthy with the Texas state flag right. It was

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: the whole Hurricane Harvey build up. Um was going to

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: be the man of the Year in the NFL for

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: his efforts that raised forty one point six million dollars

91
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: UM with a tweet. So yeah, last year was very dramatic,

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: and to do it the way they did it was stunning. Well,

93
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: and then that whole game, you know, you kept waiting

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: for what you were seeing to change because it was

95
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: so unexpected, and I kept waiting for the Texans to

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: make a run or do you know, And then all

97
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: of a sudden at halftime, you realize, oh, wait a minute,

98
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: this run isn't gonna happen. This is a good defense

99
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: that's dominating this offensive line, meaning the jag Wars dominated

100
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: the Texans offensive line. Um, you still didn't know after

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: that game, really, I mean I remember writing it and

102
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: then going back to the hotel because we were stuck

103
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: there for I think one more day because and still

104
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: not really knowing if what you had seen was one

105
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: of those week one things, which week one can be

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: a really weird week and then sort of go away.

107
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: And again, it took three or four weeks for us

108
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: to really realize I cantil Pittsburgh what this team was

109
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: going to be. Well, because they came home the next

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: week and laid the egg against the Titans. So a

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: push start it is here the regular season. Let the

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: hype begin. However, Tom Coughlin last week said the job

113
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: is not done. We still have a lot of work

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: to do. But I would say this too. Okay, the

115
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: question is what do you feel about last year and

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: then going forward? And my answer to that is very simple. Okay,

117
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: we're proud of the progress that we made, but we

118
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: have not got the job done the way we hope

119
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: to get it done. So the challenge is there and

120
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: we are trying as best we can to meet that challenge. So, UM,

121
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: I walked into go ahead, did you have something to say?

122
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, Tom is really good at I mean, you know,

123
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: and he's good at a lot of football things. Obviously

124
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame. Um, And

125
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: and I never maybe I didn't appreciate it when I

126
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: was covering him for five or six years in the

127
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: nineties as a coach. Maybe he wasn't as good at

128
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: it then, but he is. He is in this role.

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: He is a fantastic tone setter. The grit quote when

130
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: he first got here, the uh you know, you know,

131
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: the win quote to Marco Long's question, Uh, we're gonna

132
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: win lunch at the very start. Um. I was at

133
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the lunching where he he said that, and it was

134
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: clear or the quote that he just threw out had

135
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the question or very literally with

136
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: the question. He had planned it. He was ready. Um.

137
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: And he's very, very good at setting the tone for

138
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: this organization, and I appreciate it because it makes it

139
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: a very easy story to right when he says thanks.

140
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: I hosted his radio show for nine years and his

141
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: television show for seven never asked a question where his

142
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: answer was not his answer he was. He would come

143
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: out willing and waiting to make a point, and sometimes

144
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: I would just say here go because he was all

145
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: wound up for it. You say, tone center. People ask

146
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: me all the time about him and his impact here

147
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: last year, and I'm careful to remind them on the

148
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: field off the field. On the field, you gotta give

149
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: the credit to dog, right what Doug did. And I

150
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: don't think Doug got enough credit last year. I think

151
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: people still looked at Tom because they were familiar with him.

152
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: But the tone center is when you would walk in.

153
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: As you walk in the JAG's front office. Right out here,

154
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: there is a glass enclosed area, right, we called it

155
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: the cry room. That's where kids, young kids, kids your age, yeah,

156
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: or on the phone selling tickets. Right. It's tough job. Well,

157
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: it was a tough job. It's easier this year. Um.

158
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: But Tom would walk by and they'd all sit up straight.

159
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just him. That's the impact he has

160
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: on the organization as a whole. He lifted He was

161
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: the rising tide that lifted the boat of expectation the

162
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: day he walked in here. So I was gonna say

163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: that I walked into my workout studio this morning. It's

164
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: a sponsor, so I can say the name Orange Theory,

165
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: and everyone was wearing jaguars. They're having they're having a

166
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Jaguar No, not orange. The lights in their orange. Everyone

167
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: looks orange. Um, they're having a Jaguar theme week. Right,

168
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: it's it's kickoff week. It's been a long time since

169
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: the hype in this city has affected five am workout classes. Right,

170
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: if ever, people are ready for this team it Let's

171
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: throw it back to a Jalen Ramsey tweet last week.

172
00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: Batman versus Joker got them New York Giants weak, good stuff. Well,

173
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: and we don't talk. When do we talk to Jen Thursday? Yeah,

174
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: late in the week before. He's going to make a

175
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: lot of noise on this one, but everyone's anticipating it

176
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: based on his comments. You know, there was the g

177
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: Q article and the ESPN article last week. He keeps

178
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: it real, he keeps it fun without a doubt, And

179
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: the question is which one to see? Yeah, we still

180
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: don't know that. Maybe someone should ask them that Thursday

181
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: in a profect smile, that would be Joker. I would

182
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: put him as the Joker, but maybe he thinks he's Batman.

183
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: He knocks the ball away, right, It could be. I'm

184
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: sure he'll have a explanation for it, even if he chooses.

185
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: While in the cover of ESPN the magazine with um

186
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: Dr Blink the Receiver, but hell Beckham Jr. On the

187
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: cover of It's Bizarre, So maybe he's the joker. They're

188
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: just they're going to blow up that story so much.

189
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: We including the league's largest market in New York City.

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: It's the highest paid receiver in the game against the

191
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: most umb outlandish, uh proactive talker in the game to days.

192
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, is there anybody outside of Jalen Ramsey that

193
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: talks like that? No one, And beyond that, probably the

194
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: best cornerback in the game that was Yeah. Well, I

195
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: mean it's so there are players who are in the conversation,

196
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: but uh, it wouldn't be nearly as fun or pertinent

197
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: if he wasn't as good as he was. Correct, makes

198
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, alright, right, big thing too. Tom

199
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: Coughlin returns going back to the place where he had

200
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: coached for a while. Competitive Tom is going to be back,

201
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: and you know he's going to want to win. However,

202
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: he probably won't say that. Let's go back to the

203
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: one of the last days that Tom Cofflin was the

204
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: head coach of the Giants walked past John Mara with

205
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: no handshake after he was leaving. I love it. I mean,

206
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: that is the intensity of Tom. He had no intention

207
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: of stepping down despite the fact that they had missed

208
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs for a couple of years in New York.

209
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: The man is always focused on winning and he wanted

210
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: to win that moment right there. Um. He he doesn't talk.

211
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Tom spoke at the lunchon last week, but

212
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: it's not like he's gonna make himself available to the media,

213
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: so he won't. He won't acknowledge the story this week

214
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: is in part Tom Coughlin's returned to the Giants. He'll

215
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: be seen on the sidelines. They'll get some video of

216
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: that that. He'll be seen in the press box. There

217
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: will be some video of him in his booth. We're

218
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: talking about a man who led them to two super

219
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Bowl championships. Bill Parcels led them to two super Bowl

220
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: championships and is synonymous with the New York Giants. Well

221
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: so is TC from twelve years there, um, all the

222
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: things that that I mean, gosh, two super Bowls where

223
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: he was he beat the undefeated Patriots, one of the

224
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: biggest Super Bowl upsets in history. And twelve years is

225
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: a phenomenally long time to last in New York City

226
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: in his day and age, so and in any day

227
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: and age really, but in a time where there's a

228
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: shorter lea Shan coaches where owners are less I mean

229
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: the Giants are are are typically a a more stable

230
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: organization when comes to coaches, but it's an arrow where

231
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: there's less stability to last twelve years. There is alike

232
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: lasting twenty somewhere else. You're coming in with a contender

233
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: to a team that's bouncing off of a bad season

234
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: but still has Odell Beckham, junior Seae Kwon Barkley, Eli Manning.

235
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: So the game on the field can stand on its own, obviously,

236
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: but later in the week the story will be Tom. Oh. Yeah, absolutely,

237
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: once they get past the Jalen Ramsey, Odell Beckham stuff,

238
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: that would be the next story. It'll be a hard

239
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: story to write because nobody's really going to talk about

240
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: the coach is not the same coach who replaced Tom's

241
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: not going to talk and be vocal about it, so

242
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: it'll be much easier to talk about on shows like this.

243
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: But as as you saw that, and as you know Tom,

244
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: h he won't make it about him. But boy, while

245
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: he went to see that, I say the story will

246
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: be Tom, And maybe I'm overplaying it because I know

247
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: him and I know how badly he wants to win

248
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: this game. I mean people outside of this building, people

249
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: in Jackson will go, oh yeah, Tom wants to really

250
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: win that one. You have no idea. I mean too,

251
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: you've seen the burning desire in that man's eyes on

252
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: a big week. He used to do his radio show

253
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: on Thursday. He would come in from some of these

254
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: games ready to I mean ready to go on Monday,

255
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: and by Thursday he was so wound up. I mean

256
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: he was ready to go. I can only imagine the

257
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: fire that burns in him. This week, after seeing him

258
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: at that luncheon, he was just dropping one liners that

259
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: got you so excited for the football season. He said,

260
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: individuals play football teams when championship. He talk is cheap.

261
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: He was telling you last week exactly. Talk is cheap,

262
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: and he's not awest week. He's not talking this week.

263
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: Talk is cheap. He will smile, he will have something

264
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: to say. Not to the media, but you can bet

265
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: he'll have something to say the Jaguars win on Sunday,

266
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: you can be sure of it. Yes, when he does talk,

267
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: it's a cheer. It gets you excited, all right. Big

268
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: thing three is opening days. To forget about three and thirteen.

269
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: This isn't Florida versus Charleston Southern. This is a big

270
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: team versus a big team. And Maroon said, you know how, no,

271
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: no matter how big it is, we have to build

272
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: the foundation and take it one step at a time.

273
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: When I talk to the team, we talk about the

274
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: foundation and the little goals first before we talk about

275
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, went in the South, and then obviously you know,

276
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: being world champions, which we all aspire to. So I think,

277
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when you look at the end first,

278
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: you kind of forget, you know, the things that you

279
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: have to do to get there. So I'm big on

280
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: building a foundation and taking those little steps first to

281
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: put us in position for the opportunities that come across

282
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of hard work that has to

283
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: be done, and we still have a lot of hard

284
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: work to do. You're never gonna get them there. You're

285
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: never gonna let him look ahead. He will never go there. Well,

286
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: and this is a week that you don't I mean,

287
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: you don't want to look ahead. Opening day stands alone.

288
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Every rebody has the same belief level in themselves on

289
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: opening day because you're zero and zero and every other

290
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: team in the league is zero and zero, and you've

291
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: been working your way through August to get ready for

292
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: Opening Day, that the Jets fly over. Opening Day is

293
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: painted on the field. The fans are all back excited

294
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: about football. Uh. And the Giants have a very talented

295
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: collection of players on offense, and they've got some guys

296
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball that can change

297
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: the game too. Um. Yeah, there were three and thirteen

298
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: last year. I don't think, oh yeah, that's a W.

299
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: No Giants drapped in the top of the draft, that's

300
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: a W. Opening Day in the NFL is it's always tough,

301
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you said what you said, Bryan. A

302
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: lot of it is because of the belief and these

303
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: teams come in they have game planned for this game.

304
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: They have things in the game plan that the opponent

305
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: hasn't seen. So you often if if you're watching Sports Center,

306
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Dion Show, and NFL Network on Sunday night, you're gonna

307
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: see more weird big play has happened because teams have

308
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: schemed it in in in any other week, because it's

309
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: the one week where a lot of stuff that I've

310
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: seen on the field, coaches haven't seen on film. It's

311
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: a big factor on Opening Day. That's why there's a

312
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: lot of upsets, which an opening day is really no

313
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: such term as upsets. Anything happened. But I think I

314
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is I've gone on covering this

315
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: thing for twenty years. As the season goes on, you

316
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: will see teams realize that it's over and it becomes

317
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: tougher and tougher for the team like that to be

318
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: a team that's contending early in the season, when teams

319
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: believe that they're still in it. There is a huge

320
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: the factor that that plays into in games that I

321
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: think as a nice people miss. But it's also why

322
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: week one there's really no such thing as an upset,

323
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: and this will be a tough game, all right, big

324
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: things wrapped up, wrapped up, That's all I got. All Right.

347
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Which is our biggest opening day win? Sevent Houston two thousand, seventeen.

348
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: The young folks they're voting, it makes sense. Next one

349
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: we have sevent Baltimore. Tell you what that Buffalo game

350
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: people forget John, You weren't here, but Jags are down

351
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: and Byron Leftwich, who was his first full season as

352
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback here and people at that time we're

353
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: still talking about his days at Mark Shoal with a

354
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: broken leg, where his teammates were helping him down the field.

355
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: And I can remember doing the game on the radio

356
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: and saying, is there still magic in Byron Leftwich? And

357
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: then he threw that touchdown past two Ernest Wilford, who,

358
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: let's be honest, was a big tight end. I mean

359
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: the guy was six ft five and he just reached

360
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: up and pulled the ball in. But it was it

361
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: was a great moment on opening Day when it was

362
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: also obviously you lived the history and I was in

363
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: the appiodet the time Jack had come on and No.

364
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Three and they had had a decent finish to what

365
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: had started as a bad season and oh three, and

366
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: so I imagine there was a lot of importance in

367
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: terms of can this guy get it going. It took

368
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: another year for that team to really be good, but

369
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: it contended early in though four it did. They finished

370
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: nine and seven that year, and they kind of slid

371
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: to the end. They weren't complete, but it was a

372
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: moment where you're thinking, all right, is Byron left was

373
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: going to be this team's quarterback, and you know he

374
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: threw that up and Ernest went and pulled it down.

375
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: So Joe has it has shown if you're in the

376
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: final two minutes under center for wide, Byron fighting the noise,

377
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: calmly barks out the signals, takes the snap, drops turns

378
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: drows he's looking for Wilford. He made the grap he

379
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: made the graph. Touchdob Jacksonville rule Touchdob Jackson, and they

380
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: won the ball game. I remember getting to the bus ashell.

381
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but, like man, I run

382
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: every day and I listened to music while I run.

383
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure you do the same thing. That's what Brian

384
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: listens to. Thanks John, that's on his iPad on repeat.

385
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: Thanks Joe. We're never doing that again, Manny. I mean,

386
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: it's a it's an amazing thing to watch his playlist.

387
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: We're never doing that again, Joe. All right, it was

388
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: a great moment. It was fun day. I can remember

389
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: getting on the plane and we were still surprised all

390
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: the way back that they hooked up. So okay, let's

391
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: move on. What do we hear him after he runs too.

392
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: He's walking around the gym going, hey, do you hear

393
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: this one? It's a scene, all right? Roster reduction. So Saturday,

394
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: the roster was cut to fifty three players, twenty five offense,

395
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: twenty five defense, kicker, punter, long snapper, ton guys signed

396
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: to the practice squad. Guys, did you see any surprises

397
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: when you looked at that list? Now? You know, I

398
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: think we talked about it enough over the last couple

399
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: of weeks that there we knew there weren't going to

400
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: be surprises. Yeah, it's I always get asked that, you know.

401
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: First of all, people asked me there was all the time, Um,

402
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: what surprises do you expect? And I say, what if

403
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: I told you wouldn't be surprised? But um, you go

404
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: over the roster so much and you do get a

405
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 1: feel going in that last game. I thought notable was

406
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: Rashad Green making it. I wasn't sure about that one.

407
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Notable was it only three tight ends were kept, only

408
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: four running backs, including Tommy Bohannon at fullback. I thought

409
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: those were some notable things. But by the time you

410
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: got to it, I guess the last four or five

411
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: spots on the roster You're not shocked by because those

412
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: are usually guys that you feel like, um are You

413
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: can replicate what they give you with other players as well.

414
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Um they can go get Brandon wilds Now off their

415
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: practice squad to fill that spot. They know the tone

416
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: of the league and what guys they can get back

417
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: on their practice squad. Their practice squad is like four

418
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: or five guys. It gives you about fifty seven fifty

419
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: eight deep. Realistically, some of those guys are ready to

420
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: come up right away. So not shocking, although there were,

421
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: like I say, Rashad Green making it, I thought was

422
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: a cool story considering what he has been through. You know,

423
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: the fact that we're talking about Rashad Green the sixth

424
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver, maybe the fifth, because I think he has

425
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: a bait a greater role as a receiver than shot

426
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: On Nickens does. But we're talking about the bottom of

427
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: the wide receiver group. I was surprised, slightly, to be

428
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: honest with you, that William Pales was cut instead of

429
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: Josh Walker. I thought Pales had played left and right

430
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: tackle and played left guard in the final. They were

431
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: seeing how versatile he was. Now Walker must have played

432
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: very very well. Uh, in his time. I just don't

433
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: remember talking anybody about Josh Walker, but he was a

434
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: guy late last season they gave him some minutes. Uh.

435
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: When we're talking about those guys, the Josh Walkers, the

436
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: Tray Herndon, the undrafted rookie from Vanderbilt, the fifth cornerback right,

437
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: Jared Wilson right, the fifth safety, I mean tells you

438
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: what this team is well. And there are so many

439
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: spots when you're analyzing it, there are so many spots

440
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: that you know what they are that you have time

441
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: to sort of look and say, okay, here are the

442
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: key groups. If if you were talking to people are

443
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: paying attention, you knew that Herndon was after about a

444
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: week of training camp. He was no longer an upset

445
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: to make the team. He was a guy that you

446
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: were here and unless we're seeing something that is wrong,

447
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna make it. You knew he was a little

448
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: head of Meeks Jacobs. You know, I was a little

449
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: surprised that the two linebackers Brown and uh Pain were

450
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: I was surprised both of them made it. I'm so

451
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: surprised I haven't gone out and gotten somebody for that,

452
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: because I know that that the depth, there is a

453
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a concern. But again the bottom of

454
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: the claim order too. I mean, there may have been

455
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: guys they wanted, but twenty what seven other teams could

456
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: go in and grab him. And again we're also talking

457
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: about the bottom ten guys in the roster where you

458
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: knew you feel so good about the top what forty

459
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: three that these are the storylines you get on an

460
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: every day weekend. With Thursday after the game, when you

461
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: went into the locker room to smile on Jadon Mickens face,

462
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: who did not play that day, was huge. Knowing that

463
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: he made the team. It was pretty cool, I thought,

464
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: walking in and just seeing how confident and happy he was.

465
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: It would have been a bigger story had Mark easily

466
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: been healthy right to see exactly which way it went.

467
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: But you can't deny that Mickens has something when he's

468
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: got the ball in his hands coming out of the

469
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: end zone owned or whether he's got at the midfield.

470
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has little juice. I wasn't surprised

471
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: you made the team. I was surprised that he made it.

472
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, so far under the wire if you will,

473
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: that he was one of the guys who did not Um.

474
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: You know he uh you mentioned earlier, Brian. I think

475
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: over the long term, I expect Rashid Green to not

476
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: be active early UM, and I expect Mickens to be

477
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: active and be that fifth receiver and not using the

478
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: fifth receiver that much. Were there an injury in the

479
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: top four, I think Rashy Green would come in and

480
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: be the receiver. That's what he over Jaydon Mickens. But

481
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: Mickens has that thing where I kept saying it all offseason.

482
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be tough for them to

483
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: cut him because they had seen him do it. And

484
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: he cuts the ball upfield very very quickly on returns.

485
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: He has a little bit of an edge over on

486
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: that front, over Westbrook and over Green. So uh, but

487
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I have to add this, He's got a little knack

488
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: for no he does um. I said. We on Wednesday

489
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: night we got to Tampa. I think we got to

490
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: the hotel about a thirty and we immediately went into

491
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: a television meeting where we sit with the coach and

492
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: a couple of key players, and so, sitting with Doug,

493
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: I said, what does Rashad Green have to do to

494
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: make the team? And he I'm interpreting here because he

495
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: didn't say this, but he said, what makes you think

496
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: he hasn't made the team? Right? I mean he's basically

497
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: telling us that he's made the team. So all I

498
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: kept hearing and this speaks to the depth of the

499
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: roster throughout the course of the last couple of weeks

500
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: of the preseason was exactly what Green had already done.

501
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: What he had shown them in the slot, only true

502
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: slot receiver on this roster, the only guy whose job

503
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: is to line up in the slot. Everyone else plays elsewhere. Uh.

504
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: And the fifty seven yard returned that set up the

505
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown was what they expected out of him. Uh.

506
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: He impressed them too, and he he gives you I'm sorry, Brian,

507
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: he gives you reliability out of all the out of

508
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: all the backups on the team who probably won't player

509
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: like I don't. I don't expect to be active because

510
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: the numbers. But how good do you feel if you're

511
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: keenan knowing that? Okay, if I lose a guy, which

512
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: happens in the NFL, I've got this guy who can

513
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: come in and I don't teach him the offense. I

514
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: know where he's going to be he knows it. It's

515
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: not a quick Hey, how are you going to get

516
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: you up to speed? He already knows it, and he

517
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: can go return kicks. He's got the you know, experience,

518
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: can do the role, and he's got the versatility. He's

519
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: got everything you want from a guy's at the bottom

520
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: of the oster. And that fifth wide receiver spot probably

521
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: works out best for him right now because he's a

522
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't been able to stay healthy. So this

523
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: will give him a chance to just keep working and

524
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: working and working. When he is called upon, perhaps come

525
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: in and make a couple of plays. All right, ready

526
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: to move on, Let's do it. What's next? Stop shot?

527
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: Should we take a break first, or should we just die?

528
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: We should take the We should take the break and

529
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: come back with the ozone snapshot. Give the old chance

530
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: to kind of build up, you know, the ozone snapshot.

531
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: John carries around on his phone all day and just

532
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: reads it. It's a shining moment. It's what he's known for.

533
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to Brian Sexon calls during the break

534
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: to get me amped up. Frozen snapshot. You're never doing

535
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: that again, all right, We're back after you listening the

536

537
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: waterfall in nature, there's no cause for concerned. But when

538
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,360

539
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: ceiling because of pipe ER's inside the wall, there's reason

540
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,720

555
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: There's the field where the Leonard Skinners show was last night.

556
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: I heard it was an awesome show late night, a

557
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: lot of fun, a lot of people with good stuff.

558
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: I think I have a bunch of friends on Facebook

559
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: and I think all of them were there last night.

560
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: It looked past I mean everybody was live from the show.

561
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: It did look bad. It's great for Jacksonville, a great

562
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville that they fill up the stadium on a

563
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: Sunday night, you know, Labor Day weekend when lots of

564
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: people normally think about getting out of town or being

565
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: at the beach. The fact that it was Leonard Skinner

566
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: that highlighted it, um really cool way to start off

567
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: and have people jacked up about and good for that band,

568
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: and good for those guys, and uh, very cool that

569
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of their career is obviously

570
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: finding synchronicity with the team the town. I think it's

571
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: been a cool six months leading up to that. Yeah,

572
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: and talking to some of the people in the building

573
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: this morning who were here last night, they were raving

574
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: about it. It's a great show and that Skinner put

575
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: on an amazing performance. So as expel speaking of amazing performances,

576
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: here we go. Good shoot, let's do it. Bran from

577
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville ozone snapshot. What does Blake Bortles need to do

578
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: statistically to make his team go to the Super Bowl?

579
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: You know, I actually I actually put some thought into

580
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: this question, which it's tough. I don't know that there's

581
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: an answer to the statistical thing with Blake Bortles. You know,

582
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: I guess he needs to have you know, five or

583
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: six more touchdowns and he does interest options. I guess

584
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: he needs to have his interceptions at a certain level.

585
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: But mostly to me, he needs to do what he

586
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: did last year. He needs to continue to grow in

587
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: terms of getting this team, in this offense into the

588
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: right situations. And I'm talking like I'm about to say

589
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: game manager, but he's more than that. Um his strengths,

590
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: which are getting away from rush, creating plays outside the pocket,

591
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: doing things above the XS, and ose he needs to

592
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: continue that. I guess I don't care about the stats

593
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: as long as the one stat meaning interceptions, isn't outrageously high.

594
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: I'll go with he needs to be able to run

595
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: for eighty eight yards on a day that he can

596
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: only pass for seven. See to me that that day

597
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: against the Bills here last year just throw the stats

598
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: out the window with the guy. Yes, you can say

599
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: he needs to have thirty touchdowns this year and ten interceptions,

600
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: that three to one ratio that year about all the

601
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: time whatever. I mean. We all know that that's the

602
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: story for free quarterback in professional football. But for Boardles,

603
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: who's a get the job done kind of guy, the

604
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: Bills game to me personified that seven rushing yard apartment

605
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: eighty eight rushing yards on a day to day have

606
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: eighty seven passing yards. That's what he needs to be

607
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: able to do. And you're exactly right. And the Bills game,

608
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: to me is the great irony of Boardles, meaning it

609
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: was a game where first of all, neither quarterback could

610
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: throw in the conduct and he got raked over the

611
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: coals for it. Um. It's pointed to by analysts as

612
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: an example of what's wrong with Blake, and the reality

613
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: is inside the building, it's what they love about the kid.

614
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: The ability as you say, Okay, this isn't working for

615
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: whatever reason, uh, and yet you find a way to

616
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: win above that. And that's what he gives them that

617
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: people don't give him credit. Well, and so it reminds

618
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: you that a guy riding a national column from Boss

619
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: or Dallas or wherever he may be, Los Angeles or

620
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: she uh doesn't understand the dynamic of the kid. And

621
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: they're starting to now because those guys are rolling, those

622
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: reporters are rolling through Jacksonville more often because this team

623
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: bears mentioned to them, so they've got to know more

624
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: about it. Um. The more they find out about the kid,

625
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: the more they realize just what his teammates and the

626
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff thinks of him. And it doesn't but it

627
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: makes him a lot better than people give him credit for.

628
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Can you win with him? Sure? Statistically, I think that's

629
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: the keyword with this ozone question. Statistically he doesn't prove it,

630
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 1: and a lot of national people can't write statistically and

631
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: say that, but that Buffalo bills him is a great

632
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: example of statistics. Didn't prove that he won that game

633
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: well last year ten and six, two and one in

634
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So this year he's got another chance to

635
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: prove it, and the staff that matters the most use

636
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: the record the wins. Alright. Mike from Atlanta, I think

637
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: it says a lot about the roster that there are

638
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: no surprise with the cutdown of fifty three. They built

639
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: a very good roster using a mixture of great draft

640
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: often an even better free agency signings. This has to

641
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: be some of the best roster management this century. Great

642
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: work by Codwell Coughlin and the data analytics team. Shout

643
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: out to them. Yeah, it's uh, you're gonna steal my

644
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: thunder on this one, are you well? I'm always a

645
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: little uncomfortable with Okay, this is the best and this

646
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: is fantastic. They've done a great job. Obviously they have to,

647
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, there is a second step to all this

648
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: coming up after this season, in terms of managing what

649
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: they have built. I even had to manage anything yet,

650
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: but the cap was clear now the key though, Brian

651
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: and we talked about it. They've set it up so

652
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: that it is manageable. They've set it up so and

653
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: from the start they did not expect all of these

654
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: free agents they've signed over the last two or three

655
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: years to be here in nineteen. They're going to get

656
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: criticized next off season by people who don't understand what

657
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: they did, for lack of foresight, for mismanaging the cap.

658
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: They've managed exactly how they wanted to. They managed it

659
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: so that some of these guys have to be let

660
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: go as long as you've drafted well behind them. But

661
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: how they are judged in terms of, you know, if

662
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: you're looking back at it ten years from now, well

663
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: largely depend a if they win it, because then it

664
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: won't matter what they do in the future, but be

665
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: how they draft behind it. If they draft well and

666
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: there and they let a safety go, and they let

667
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: a cornerback go or not cornerback but defensive lineman go,

668
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: and they have players coming up behind them, then they

669
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: will be lauded as being brilliant. If they draft poorly,

670
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: they're going to be looked at, Oh, they didn't manage

671
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: the cap. They didn't know what they were doing. It's

672
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: still a percentage game. It's like, um, a jigsaw puzzle,

673
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: you know the puzzles the kids get the big pieces.

674
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: There's forty eight of them. It was easy. Now I'm

675
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: not saying it was easy in terms of identifying the talent,

676
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: but kids, they're just still the ones I do. But

677
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: with the cap that was as wide open as this

678
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: one was, they could go out and take some swings.

679
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: They drafted well, it all fit together. But the management sides,

680
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: like that two thousand piece pus you open up and

681
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: you look at it and go, wow, Okay, this is

682
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna take some work. That's what's coming. They have to

683
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: manage it from this point forward. This year they have

684
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: sixty point seven million dollars just in their defensive line,

685
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: far and away the most in the league. Well, of

686
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: course you've got Calais Campbell and Millie Jackson and Darcel

687
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Darius all making eleven million or more and Jackson and

688
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: Campbell million or more. Okay, well, so next year that

689
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: number goes up, so you've got to start figuring things out.

690
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: Next Year's where the management side of it comes in.

691
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: But when you look at what they've done, Tom Doug

692
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: Dave Johnny I Zick, former general manager of the Jets

693
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: who's been around with the Seahawks and the Bucks, working

694
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: with Tim Walsh on the salary cap side, the Scouts

695
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: have done a great job in bringing talent in here.

696
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: They got to keep it up as and as we

697
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: talked about, you've got to find some undrafted rookies out there,

698
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: because you only have seven draft picks. You've got to

699
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: find some of these guys to fill in holes and develop.

700
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: And then of course there's always this look Tavin Bryant

701
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: has to be sitting on the board number twenty nine.

702
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: A guy that many people think is, you know, a

703
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: top fifteen, top twenty pick has got to be sitting

704
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: there at twenty nine where you pick because it makes

705
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: it all work. What you hope is a guy in

706
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: two years and I don't know that he'll fit this

707
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: role as he develops, but a Trey Herndon, who you

708
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie becomes third year perhaps becomes Hayden when Hayden

709
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: leaves in two years. So you hope that you're undrafted

710
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: rookies be that, and then you get a couple of

711
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: years out of them and they move on um and again,

712
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: as you say, some of its luck. All right, last one,

713
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: Padre Beach, let's go to what are your thoughts on

714
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: Eli's performance? With our hungry defense swarming all around him,

715
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: do you think our defense will hold them to scoring

716
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: only field goals? No? And and that's not and so

717
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: we need to remember that this is a had a

718
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: chance to be a great defense. It's also the National

719
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: Football League. So there might be some games where they win.

720
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: They might win, It doesn't matter. As long as you win,

721
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna give up plays You're not gonna go the

722
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: whole season just allowing field goals. And there's a little

723
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: bit of a tone to some of the questions I'm

724
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: getting this week about well, Eli Manning should be a

725
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: guy that we can pressure into mistakes. And I get it.

726
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: You can pressure any quarterback into mistakes, and that's the

727
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: key to this team, their ability to do that. But

728
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: don't think that Eli Manning isn't capable of beating you.

729
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: And he rings and he's got Barkley. This is a

730
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: team that's good. This is a team to win eleven

731
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: and five two years ago. Has the talent to do this. Um,

732
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: the past rush this week needs to get home. If

733
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: it does, they'll win the game. If if it struggles

734
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: at all, then the Giants are gonna score nothing. To

735
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: add their Blackham Jr. Speech. I mean, and they will

736
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: try to get him away from Jaalen as much as

737
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: the him. They will find ways to get him matched up. Um,

738
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that Jaalen is not a great player

739
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: or that this defense is great. But he's a twenty

740
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: million dollar receiver for a reason. Money pays, all right,

741
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: do we want to go to NFL headlines? We have

742
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Let's go all right. Carson Wentz

743
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: NFL Network this morning said Nick Foles is going to

744
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback. Not surprised, and no one is

745
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: surprised by that. But you gotta think, when we were

746
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: talking about this three weeks ago, did we really think

747
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: Nick Foles was going to be at the starting quarterback? Well?

748
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: I did, and I've been saying, I'm I'm not sure

749
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: when Wentz will be ready to go. I mean, they

750
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: obviously played Thursday night. He's not even nine months removed.

751
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: He's a franchise quarterback. There's no reason to russian. You

752
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl with fools. You've got a defense

753
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: that returns. It's one of the best in the league.

754
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him to October.

755
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: And I believe his was more than just an a C.

756
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: It was multiple. So I remember Tony Boselli coming back

757
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: in ninety or in two thousand, was it he hurt

758
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: himself at the end of the two nine nine season,

759
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: but one, And it was a remarkable thing because Tony

760
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl and by the second half the

761
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: season was playing back at his level. It was in

762
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: But there's couple things remember about the A c L.

763
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: First of all, not all rehabs on that are the same.

764
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: Second of all, this is absolutely to franchise that Philadelphia

765
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: is talking about. It's the reason they kept Nick Foles.

766
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: When they kept Nick Foles, you figured there was a

767
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: chance that he was going to start, or else you

768
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't have if there was complete confidence he was gonna

769
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: be coming back, meaning Wentz, you wouldn't have kept him.

770
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: So uh, this is one that you would think they

771
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: are making a fifteen year decision rather than a fifteen

772
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: day decision. And I'm a body language guy, and Doug

773
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,959
Speaker 1: Peterson's body language says, stop asking me because I can't

774
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: answer it. And I'm not going to answer because I

775
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: don't know. That's why I think it's going to stretch

776
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. Him him and saving Like

777
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: this quarterback question is ah yeah, good stuff like that

778
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: college football referencessions I did. I asked Brian about his

779
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: opinion of that really got me bothered? Did it go?

780
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: Let's move on next one? Next one. Khalil Mack big money,

781
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: NFL's highest paid at non quarterback. Yeah, the money is insane.

782
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: Here's the issue. The Raiders have traded away their best player.

783
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: What message does that send to their team? And what

784
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: message does it send to their fans who they're barely

785
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: hanging on too before they moved to Vegas. What a

786
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: colossal mess up this is? Yeah, it's uh, not just

787
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: their best player, but a their best player at a

788
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: premium position, meaning if this was your center, if this

789
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: was even a corner, you know, a premier pass rusher,

790
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: who premier maybe the best pass is almost There are

791
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: players who were considered premier, and then there are players

792
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: are premier without weakness. It's got even have any weaknesses

793
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: and you've traded them away. Um, I don't know that

794
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: there's a price that makes that worthwhile and certainly what

795
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: they got. Yeah, I'm just sick with the fans there.

796
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: I would just if I was a raidersman, I would

797
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: just be so upset. Well, it's a black hole down

798
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: there this morning, for sure. It's a gaping, sucking black

799
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: hole because the Raiders, any hope that they had this

800
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: year would seem to be out the window. Yeah. It

801
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: it puts the pressure squarely on Grooden because you know,

802
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: I know he's got a ten year deal, but this

803
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: is one where you know it's going to be analyzed

804
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: very fast, very soon, and maybe a different league than

805
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: the one he left. When you have Derek Carr tweeting,

806
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: no way, their locker room is gonna be like today

807
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: when they get the first questions, that ain't good, That

808
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: isn't good, when they're out outlashing on social media. All right.

809
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: Third one, they left the gate open. Thirty eight year

810
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: old resigns for sixte season. Antonio Gates and I should

811
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: say return. I put the wrong word in there, resigns

812
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: and I produce you to put a hashtag in okay, uh,

813
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates is back? Yeah? What is the eight time

814
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl dash? Um? That's all have? Antonio Gates coming back? Yeah,

815
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: and out of the all time great tight ends good

816
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: in the sense that if he wants to play, yeah,

817
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: you would like to see him finish his career there

818
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: and play it out and so good for him. And

819
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: the charges are routine. They think they've got a shot.

820
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: They think they are one of the better teams in

821
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: the a f C if they can stay healthy. Now

822
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to stay healthy. They've lost two

823
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: defensive bags and they're tied end Hunter Henry, which left

824
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: the gate open for Antonio Gates to resign, left the

825
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: gate open that hashtag dash whatever hip hip hip hip,

850
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: All right, starting off with our guy Khalis Camp. We

851
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: just talked about Khalil Mack in the big contract he

852
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: just got. He tweeted out. Happy to see all this

853
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: money being given out. Over the last couple of days,

854
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald have changed the game to

855
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: Young King's the opportunity to change the world. Who recognition

856
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: there lots of money, lots of money, lots of moneys,

857
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: has a little bit of that, Oh yeah, he's not struggling.

858
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: You're You're never going to find a player ever who

859
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: regrets other players getting paid sets the market. Aaron Donald

860
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: did it on what Saturday and on Sunday. You know,

861
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: Clayses only regret is that he's thirty one and not

862
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: because he's getting bigger and bigger. And you don't think

863
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: guys like Boselli and Taylor and Brunell don't regret they

864
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: were you know they played in this year, right, they

865
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: all do. They all look at the money and they say, wow,

866
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: what would I be worth it? At the same time,

867
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: the guys who played ten years before the look exactly.

868
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: It's a never ending circle, all right. Adam Schefter, we

869
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: always talk about the success stories with people making the team.

870
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: He put it into perspective. This weekend. Over the next

871
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: two days, one thousand four NFL players will be fired

872
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: from their jobs. Someone will turn to the practice squad,

873
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: but many will have no choice but to move on.

874
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: There is no busy transactional time in the NFL. Then

875
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: this weekend for many it is a brutal weekend. They

876
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: won't forget perspective there. And that's why when we're going

877
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: into preseason week four, uh, as much as we always

878
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: talk about, boy, I can't wait for this to get

879
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: over with preseason. You know that's fun to talk about,

880
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: but you know, you always try to treat that day

881
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: with the respect that it deserves because there are usually

882
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: twenty guys, twenty five guys who are playing the game

883
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: for the last time. And I get that everybody goes

884
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: through it. If you've played football, you have to have

885
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: your last game. But it's still a tough, tough weekend

886
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: for these guys. You don't get paid until you're on

887
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: the opening day roster, and that's what they were going for. Yeah,

888
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: the football dream is there. They want the money. Now

889
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: they have to write. Now, they have to hook on

890
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: maybe be a practice squad player somewhere, which isn't bad.

891
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: It's about eight thousand dollars a week for the weeks,

892
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: but of course it's a week to week business in

893
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: the practice squad. From many of them, it's doing this.

894
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: It's getting a job and moving on with life and

895
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, learning to save and budget and all that stuff.

896
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: And what they dream of is the big hit. I mean,

897
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: let's never lose sight of the fact it's professional football. Yeah,

898
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: the dream sells, but it's the money that pays, right,

899
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 1: And just the change routine. I remember Done Brown saying

900
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: it last week that you know, you come in every

901
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: day and you get breakfast, lunch and dinner here, you

902
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: get massages, you work out in this awesome weight room,

903
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden reality Now what was

904
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: the movie reality bites? Yes, for some of those guys

905
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: that does today. It does sad stuff, all right. Last

906
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: one Leonard for Nett. So Bleacher Report says, remember the

907
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 1: name A J. Dillon, who's a Boston college running back

908
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: making news in the A C. C. Could be the

909
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: next Leonard for Net for Net quote sets and says,

910
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: I love the comparison, but you think a player works

911
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: hard his whole life to be the next Leonard for Nett.

912
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: Let the man create his own legacy and build his

913
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: whole own name. I thought that was pretty cool. You

914
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: always hear that, oh he's the next Fred Taylor, He's

915
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: the next Leonard for Net. But for not put that

916
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: up in perspective, you know, let this guy build his

917
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: own legacy. It's interesting. I don't know that I've and

918
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: I followed the Leonard for Nett story from the time

919
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: that he was high school and I was talking about

920
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: how big he was, powerful and the number one recruit.

921
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't ever remember him being compared to anyone. Leonard

922
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: for Nett wasn't he was Leonard for Net. He's a

923
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: different guy, and uh you. I thought that was a

924
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: cool tweet, and it shows how I think aware he

925
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: is and aware these guys are of how hard it

926
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: is to get to where they are and how much

927
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: they do work at creating their own legacy in their

928
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: own name. I think a lot of guys feel that way.

929
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: It was kind of cool to see him put that

930
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: into an easily understandable way of thinking about it, right,

931
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: because he could easily go the other way around and say, yeah,

932
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: you know, get on my side. You know in the

933
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: next letter for day, awesome, let's do it. That wasn't

934
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: the case, and that's all I got. Three you didn't

935
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: have the one with the rights. Breaking news, we have

936
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: learned that Jalen Ramsey is indeed Batman thanks to this

937
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: from our social media manager, Darnell Brady. It's pretty cool.

938
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: That's good stuff, breaking news. The question has been solved.

939
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be fun. And that's really when you

940
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: have a back. I've already a defensive back like Jalen

941
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: Ramsey and have great receivers in this league. The Odell

942
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Is the Julio Jones. It's fun to watch

943
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: those matchups. Can't wait for Sunday. I know the patch

944
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: on his uh jersey doesn't stand for a t M,

945
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: but it could. It would be good. Now, that's pretty cool.

946
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: Now that's the end of top Sweets. Thank you for that.

947
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: And that then is the end of the show. When

948
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,320
