With head coach dug my own 8 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: coffee cup filled to the brim. I just saw it happen. 9 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: I'm not lying. How many cups of coffee are you 10 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: normally by noon? Oh? Usually it's about two d's in 11 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: the morning and then I uh kind of slow it 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: down that huge cup. Two of those. Yeah, but you 13 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: get your own, you're not a oh yeah, I do 14 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: my Yeah. Matter of fact, I bought my own. I 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: have my own coffee making now, Just so I don't 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: get I used to get frustrated early on in my career. 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: I'd come in the morning and get everything ready, make 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: the coffee, get my cup, go start work. Then as 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: everyone else trickled in, it always timed up. By the 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: time I went back to the coffee machine, it was empty. 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: Then I started screaming and yelling and then so that 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: was when I was an assistant, then only became a 23 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: head coach. I'm like, I can't. I can't do that anymore, screaming, yell. 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: So you know, I found another way to do it without. 25 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: I gotta have my own coffee maker. Yeah, I mean 26 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: mine's yeah, I go old school. I was grinds, just 27 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: the coffee beans, and you know, it's not like those 28 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: those things now he just popped those things in. Yeah, 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm like old school. And plus, you know, coffee 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: doesn't taste great until you've run millions and millions of 31 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: cups through it. I mean growing up in in the 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: Bronx when we used to go and you know, you 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: have the black coffee and you go into your espress 34 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, you go into these places on 35 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, Arthur Avenue, and you look at these big 36 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: old machines that they've had, I mean they've been there forever, 37 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, and the coffee that comes out, it's just 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: it's just it's just I can't, I can't explain it's 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: that's outstanding. I feel kind of ashamed of my little cup, 40 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: I know, put it away, put that cake couple away. 41 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: He's not a Starbucks prappuccino type of guy. John, How 42 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: has this week one? It's actually gone well? Um? You know, 43 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: I think it's very difficult for people on the outside 44 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: to look in and and try to say, hey, you 45 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: know you have you know a a going on or 46 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: be going on. You know, all the stuff that's going on. 47 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of noise on the outside. But you know, 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: I give the coaches and players a lot of credit. 49 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: You know, they've come in and they's just been focused 50 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: and they know that. Um, they've got a tough challenge 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: you had, you know, heading out to Denver and playing, 52 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like we've had you know, 53 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: really two good days of practice is the whole I've 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: aways had. Theory, the whole idea of distractions is a 55 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: little overrated because you guys have your routine every week. 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: The players are here doing their own thing. Um. I 57 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: just never thought it was that big a deal. Do 58 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: you think that distractions are a thing? I really don't. 59 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: I think you know, it's it's um, you know, sometimes 60 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: I think it's it's made a thank for excuses, you know, 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: after it's over. Um, But I don't think. Uh. Sometimes, 62 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, you might have some people that are that 63 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: are into like drama just naturally I'm not saying that, 64 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: but pretty much, for the most part, you know, professionals, 65 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: was just coming and go to work. I agree with you. 66 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot of times it's it's um it's 67 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: over overrated, and you know, I think sometimes for me, uh, 68 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: I do a poor job you know in the media 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: when they talk to me about you know, they asked 70 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: me these questions and and I'm not really thinking about it, 71 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, because I'm focused on what we have to do, 72 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: and you know, I kind of know where it's it's own. 73 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's wrong to ask questions like that, 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: but you know, to me, sometimes I just I shouldn't 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: say I think it's funny or I think it's a joke, 76 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: because obviously it's not. You know, something's going on. But 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: it was just like, come on, you know, you've gotta 78 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: be kidding me. You know, here, here's what we're all roll, professionals. 79 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: It is what it is. Let's let's let's go and 80 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: let's get past it. Obviously, the big news have been 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: Jalen in Minshumania and outside the building. It's a huge deal, 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: but inside the building, it really hasn't seemed like you 83 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: guys think much about that. No, you know, we're just 84 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, we're just you know, going to work. It's 85 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: the same thing with like you know, um, last year 86 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: with all those injuries mounting up, and this year we've 87 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: had some injuries, but um, they haven't really affected us 88 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: as much. So, UM, you know those things happening, you 89 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: just kind of you kind of just go forward. Um, 90 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: there's nothing else you know, you can you can really do. 91 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: I mean, unless you unless you want this job right 92 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: when you come here, and then I guess you can 93 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: you can do a lot of that. There's been so 94 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: much talk about Gardner, but he's what people are talking about. Um, 95 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: you've been very forthcoming about how impressed you are by 96 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: how he approaches it. And it's not because all the mania. 97 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: It's because of how he approaches the job on a 98 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: day to day basis. Uh, mature beyond his years and 99 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: almost seems experience beyond his years somehow. Yeah, I agree, 100 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: I think that it's it's it's a difficult, Um, it's 101 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: difficult to really describe, um, you know, just his uh 102 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: Demeana and you know, based upon how his performance has been. Um. 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: And when when I say that, it's like, you know, 104 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard for people to understand. It's hard 105 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: for me to understand, you know, if of a young 106 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: guy that you know, let's say it like it like 107 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: it was, I mean, like it is. It's a six 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: round draft pick, you know. And you know, everyone saw 109 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: he had a lot of opportunities in the in the 110 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and again I talked about the preseason. 111 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: You know, you don't have the best of the players 112 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: that you have around him, which is kind of tough 113 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: to to evaluate, but you know, and then going in 114 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: there and and um, you know, and playing the way 115 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: he's been playing is is really um. You know, you 116 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: you always have to watch what you say as a coach. 117 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: But you know, I let this word out the other day, 118 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: and and it really the truth. I mean, I don't 119 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: have the time right now to really evaluate what's going on, 120 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, because we're trying to push and get better 121 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: and keep going. But I you know, if I did 122 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: sit back and I wasn't pushing all the time, I 123 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: would use the word remarkable, you know, to to the 124 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: performance that he has and I think that, um, But 125 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: when you start to really get underneath the player and 126 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: the personality, you can see why there is success for him. 127 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: You know that that gives him that opportunity and you 128 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: know we're hoping that he can continue that had been 129 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: times where he's come over to the sidelines in a 130 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: crucial moment and you thought, this kid doesn't act like 131 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: a rookie. I mean, I assume some rookie quarterbacks would 132 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: be overwhelmed by the moment. Yeah, I think I think 133 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: what happens John is is during that moment as a coach, 134 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: and you don't you're not thinking you know what I'm saying, 135 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: You're not really thinking about that, And I think you're 136 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: going through the discussion, Hey, these are the two things. 137 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: This is what we think they're gonna do. This is 138 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: what we like, You're comfortable. How do you feel? This 139 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: is the way we want you to read it. You know, 140 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: those are the kind of things that go on. You know, 141 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying when when those guys come over to the 142 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: sideline and then you put them out there. But I 143 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: think to your point, I think it's something you think 144 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: about afterwards, you know what I mean. Like, so when 145 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: the game's over, it's like, hey, there's a crucial play, 146 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: or this happened, or how easy when he comes over 147 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the sideline, then you start thinking about it. You're like, 148 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: it's it's it's pretty natural, you know, and and and 149 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: that's probably the best way to say it. I think, 150 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, if you can communicate and it's natural and 151 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: as communication going both ways, then then you have a 152 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: chance to be successful. If the communication is going one 153 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: way or the other, it doesn't matter player to coach 154 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: or coach the player. You know, if if that's not 155 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: being you know, if that's not collectively you know, a 156 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: collaborative type of effort to figure out what the best 157 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: thing is, then you've got a problem on one side, 158 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: either the coaches or the player. The running game has 159 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: been a huge emphasis. You've talked about it, Leonards talked 160 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: about offensive line. They said they've worked on communication this week. 161 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: Do you expect it to be better on Sunday or 162 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: does it take way more time than just a week 163 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: of being an emphasis? I mean, you know, you know, 164 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: you go out and you expect it to be better. 165 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: Anytime you emphasize something or you work on something, um, 166 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: you expect it to be better. The thing that that 167 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: happens is it doesn't doesn't you know, do you get 168 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: that instant gratification? You know? And I think that's what 169 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: your question is. And you know, sometimes you do and 170 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: sometimes you don't. And obviously the goal is to try 171 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: to get it, but you know we're gonna try to 172 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: get it without putting I guess the you know, the 173 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: plan and Jeff, you know what I'm saying of what 174 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: we're trying to do. And you know, like I said before, 175 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we can go out there and and hand 176 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: that ball off and run and run and we'll break, 177 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: you know, break a couple. But is that going to 178 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: help us, you know, win a game. Um, I don't know. 179 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: But what we've talked about is what the reason why 180 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: I think we put a lot of emphasis on it. 181 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: Of course we want to get it going, is really 182 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: to open up this play action game where we can 183 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: get these big chunk plays and you know, have people 184 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: back there and then you know, if we do run it, 185 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: we can get our running backs on the safeties down 186 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: the field, so that there's a lot of things that 187 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: that open up to you and and you have manageable 188 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: third downs and you know, you know, people will always 189 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: talk or you know, I hear here. When you know 190 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: someone comes up and says, you gotta run the ball more, 191 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: you got you know, you gotta run I get that. 192 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: There's no doubt, you know. But my my point is 193 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: is that it's not that they're wrong, but there's certain 194 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: things that you have to do as a as an 195 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: offense to be able to run the football more. And 196 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down to third down. And 197 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: when you see these teams and you do these studies 198 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: of teams that you know run the football, you'll see 199 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: that they're in the high sixties low seventies from the 200 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: stand on point of plays because they're able to, you know, 201 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: keep it going, keep mixing it up um and stay 202 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: on the field. You know, usually if you're not being 203 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: able to stay on the field, it's because you can't 204 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: get manageable situations and convert on third down. You know. Therefore, 205 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: it's going to be very difficult to keep running the 206 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: football and score points. You talked over the years about 207 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: veterans that you respect, Uh, guys like Curtis Martin who 208 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: you've been around Mawai. Uh, it sounds like a Calais 209 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: is in that same class to you guys who take 210 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: care of themselves, guys who are able to extend their 211 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: careers and play at a high level. D Yeah, I 212 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: think that, you know, when I look back, you know, 213 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that that I'm clear that 214 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: I respect really everyone that plays the game, because it's 215 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: such a tough game to play, meaning that you know, 216 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: the way you have to take care of your body, 217 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: the uh, just a mental part of it. There's just 218 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: a lot that that goes into it. And don't get 219 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: me wrong, I think you get more out of this game, um, 220 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, than than anything else, at least for me. 221 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: You know, the discipline of life and things of that 222 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: nature if you do it the right way. And I 223 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: think that when I look back and I look at 224 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: guys like Curtis Martin and Kevin and has many many 225 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: other players. UM, you know, I think Klais does fall 226 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: in into that, um that boat. And I've been very fortunate. UM. 227 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's because of the position I 228 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: coached or um, you know, maybe it was just luck, 229 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: but I've really been around um not only to me, 230 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: not only outstanding football players. UM. Granted that's important when 231 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: you look at the job, but more importantly to me, 232 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: outstanding people, outstanding you know, human beings, whether it be 233 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: outstanding husbands, fathers, people in the community and leaders. And 234 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: I think, you know, for me, when I go back 235 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: and I look for the players that I've been associated 236 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: with or been privileged to work that too, and that's 237 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: that's how I see it. Um, that's the one thing 238 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: I look at. And when you look at Klaus, I mean, 239 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: look what he's done both locally and in Denver, you know, charity, 240 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: look at you know how how successfully has been for 241 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: such a long period of time, and you know how 242 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: great he is to his teammates. You know, I agree, 243 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's up there. I'd find it 244 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: very very difficult. You know if ten fifteen years whatever 245 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: it is from now that that you know, a guy 246 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: like him is not in the Hall of Fame. Not 247 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: just because he's a great player, obviously, that's why you 248 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: get voted in the Hall of Fame, but gosh, what 249 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: a great representative of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL. 250 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: For sure, we go back to last year when this 251 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: team was struggling five and eleven. He was always the 252 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: guy when we went in the locker room that you 253 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: would stand up and be honest and give us as 254 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: much time as we needed. Yeah, you too. Okay him 255 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: as a player, you as a coach well, but also 256 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: also the guy late in the season who continued to 257 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: show up playing through different stuff and playing at a 258 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: high level, which is not easy. No, And you know 259 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: the older that you get and I saw this with 260 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, with Curtis and and and Kevin and then 261 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: a lot of players. But you know the amount of 262 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: time that you have to spend making sure that you know, 263 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: nutrition getting your body right and play. You know, it's 264 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a big commitment, it really is. I 265 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: don't think you know, it's not like you just go 266 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: grab a bag of ice and you put it on 267 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: and so I mean, you're there has a lot of 268 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: things going on to make sure that you can still 269 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: play at that level. Um, you know, for for for 270 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: as long as as those guys have played. Going in 271 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: Denver this weekend, you're excited to get back on the road. 272 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: And this also the emphasis this week has been in 273 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: the locker room. You guys, this doesn't seem like a 274 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: winless team the Broncos. No, No, I mean you look 275 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: at the talent they have. Um, you know, obviously we're 276 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: we're excited to play. Um, you know, it's we're we 277 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: always get more excited when we play at home. But 278 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, but it's it's a it's a great challenge 279 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: for us to go out there. It's, um, it's a 280 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: you know, I've been out there, you know, a couple 281 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: of times as a player and a coach, so you 282 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: know it'll be a challenging atmosphere. You know. But when 283 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: you look at this team, you know, you see a 284 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: lot of talent, and um, you know, they've got guys 285 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: that can make plays and do a lot of things 286 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: and and and they're gonna they're gonna get their share 287 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: of plays. You just hope it's not game changing type 288 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: plays and things of that type, you know nature that 289 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, these these players are gonna have you know, 290 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: stats at the end of the year, and you know, 291 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: if they get him against you just make sure it's 292 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's you get to win, because you know, 293 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: you look at von Miller, you look at Chub, you 294 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: look at you know, lindsay to running back, and he's 295 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's a player.

Wow. Yeah, 338 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: post her child, Yeah, that's him. That's all right. Let's 339 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: get into big things. Big thing one is momentum. Obviously, 340 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: there's been a ton of momentum this week in the 341 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: loft room. We've heard it from head coach dun Browne. 342 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: It was great to get a Thursday night football when 343 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: the momentum carrying it on too Denver will be huge. 344 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: Big thing too is the running game. Obviously, that needs 345 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: to get better as well. We just heard head coach 346 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: Dun Morone say it starts up front with the offensive line. 347 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: Leonard for in locker room yesterday definitely seemed frustrated that 348 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: it's not where it needs to be as of right now. 349 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: And Big thing three is resiliency. So yesterday in Jaguars 350 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: offensive coordinators John D. Philippo's press conference, he was talking 351 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: about how he was kind of down when Nick Foles 352 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: went down the first game players game of the season, 353 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: and how can you not be your starting quarterback goes down. 354 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: Obviously they had a great relationship, but he pointed out 355 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: Doug Marrone as keeping it even keel. We know he's 356 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: great at that, but for a coach to say that 357 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: about their head coach really shows something. Yeah, I mean 358 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: it's uh if you've been around Doug through really two thousand, seventeen, eighteen, 359 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: and nineteen. He was here a couple of games in sixteen, 360 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: but it's hard to get a feel for what he 361 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: was as a coach. I've always told people when to 362 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: talk about Doug, he is a professional football coach in 363 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: this sense. He's not going to be raw roy guy. 364 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: He's not going to try to rely on a motion 365 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: that perhaps a college coach can when you're dealing with 366 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty two year old kids. Doug understands that 367 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 1: he's dealing with the professional athlete. That even keels all 368 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: about it. And I've been around different coaches who, uh, 369 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: every NFL coach strives and says they're about consistency and 370 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: says they don't get too higher to oh, some do 371 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: a better job at it than others. Doug is very 372 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: good at that, partly because he always sort of keeps 373 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: it low. Yeah, he's always sorted down so it but 374 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: that's who he is and I think the important thing 375 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: with Doug is he never tries to be something he's not, 376 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: which in the NFL is the biggest way to fail 377 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: as a head coach is to try to act or 378 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: treat people in a phony way, if you will. He 379 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: never does that, and I think over time players understand 380 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: that when he says something, he's saying something real to 381 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: him and they typically respond to that. So, uh, yeah, 382 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: he's the steady guy. He's the guy who's not going 383 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: to get too higher, too low. And I've always thought 384 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: that the only way to succeed as head coach. And 385 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: that's why it almost drawed my attention when he was 386 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: just talking about Gardner Minshew and he said he used 387 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: the word remarkable about his first three games that normally 388 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: doesn't come out of his mouth, something like remarkable. Well, 389 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: with Gardner, you just don't see it. Um. I've been 390 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: doing this twenty five years. I don't pretend to have 391 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: the insight into players that Doug does, but you just 392 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: don't see rookies, you know. In my stories for Jaguars 393 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: dot Com, for example, I rarely talk to rookies unless 394 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking to the rookie about themselves, because they usually 395 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: don't have anything to say about the NFL because they 396 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: haven't been doing it long enough. They have no perspective. 397 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: And when you talk to him, there's very little insight 398 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: because they're trying to figure out if their code is 399 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: still working in the morning. You know, they're still trying 400 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: to figure out. Yeah. And so Gardener, I think because 401 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: of his path here, because he played at so many 402 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: different schools, when there's so many different situations, he to 403 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: me feels like a fifth year guy, which is a 404 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: quarterback to feel like a fifth year guy. I've never 405 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: seen it before, and I've never been around a rookie quarterback, 406 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: first round pick. I've never had that guy come in 407 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and own a situation. Gardeners as good as I've seen 408 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: in terms of feeling like a quarterback, feeling like he 409 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: brings those her back things you need in his first year. Um, 410 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: it's it is remarkable. Yeah, And it's a lot to 411 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: ask someone in their early twenties. I mean, the attention 412 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: he's getting around the country. And he was talking about 413 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: his roommate was in here on Happy Hour saying how 414 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: he wakes up in the morning to all these Instagram 415 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: followers and national phenomenon. I know, you know the feeling, 416 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: so I get that from him. Um. I think the 417 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: important they remember about Gardner, and I think sometimes people 418 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: who are outside the team and just follow through the 419 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: media maybe don't grasp this element of it. And you're 420 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 1: at him too. I get the idea that the forty 421 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: five seconds that Gardner talked about Minsheu mania in the 422 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: press commence the other day is probably the only time 423 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: he's thought about it since he landed out to get 424 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: off the plane from Pullman, Meaning it's not like he's 425 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: caught up in Minshu mania. When he talks about it. 426 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: He addresses it. He knows it's there, he knows from 427 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: experience last year that it's a topic people are going 428 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: to ask about, but he gives it. It's in this 429 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: small situation, but that's fifteen minutes of his week, and 430 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: there's seven days that he has, so um, he knows 431 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: how to handle it, he knows where to put that 432 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: to be able to go and do his job. And 433 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: for a rookie to to have that feel about him again, 434 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: it's it's remarkable. And I think at the quarterback position 435 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: that's so much more important than the others. It's why 436 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: he has a chance to succeed. And I don't think 437 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: Minshumani is slowing down anytime soon. No, but he won't 438 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: get caught up in it. I mean, if he hasn't 439 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: now he never went. He'll enjoy it. And in the 440 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: off season, I'm sure you know, we'll see Instagram, you know, 441 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: photos of him wherever. But uh, you know, and he'll 442 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: continue to show me that he has a better day 443 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: than I've had a life. But that's good for him 444 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: in the off season. But he uh he uh. You 445 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: can't say enough about his ability to handle this situation. 446 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: Many many rookies, this would blow up in their face. 447 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it will with him. I'm sensing a 448 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: little bit of jealousy maybe with his social life. Well 449 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: it's just more just a chronic depression on my phone. 450 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: But that's fine, just constant, constant. I can do all right, good, 451 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: I'm worried about this. That's what the young kids say, right, 452 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: I can deal. Yeah, you get a good deal. Even 453 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: hang out with the Gardner. Oh, he couldn't handle me. 454 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: When we come back to something, he will, he won't. 455 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: He might for Sunday's game in Denver right here on 456 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network, when you hear, think Duval Motor 457 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: Company up.

The momentum that the story, as 492 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: I guess, because it's so out there and you've got 493 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: national people tweeting about it, It's become one of those 494 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: stories that truly takes on a life of its own, 495 00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: and the story itself is uh one thing, and people's 496 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: opinions on the story are a completely different thing. And 497 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: it's almost like the opinions on the story start to 498 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: push the story in different directions. And that is what 499 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: it is. But as we talked to Doug about, I 500 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: don't think it affects us locker room very much, which 501 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: is he won't be a distraction. And I continue to 502 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: get emails and people talk to me about they've got 503 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: to do something about Jalen Ramsey because it's distracting things 504 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: and it's taking things off course. Um, the reality is 505 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: this all started in the first quarter against Houston. They 506 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: have played better in the seven quarters since this all 507 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: started than they have in a year. Maybe keep it 508 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: going so there's no distraction on this front. And let's 509 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: be honest about Jalen. He got drafted number five over 510 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: all on two that in sixteen. He's been a distraction 511 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: since he walked in the door. If this is a distraction, 512 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: he's been distractions he walked in the door. And I 513 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: don't I don't necessarily mean to say there's a negative. 514 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: You heard me over the year, So I don't mind 515 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: all the stuff that Jalen brings with him. All the 516 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: brinks truck, that's fine. But if that was a distraction, 517 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: which I didn't think it was, But if that's what 518 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: it was, all of this is still the same sort 519 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: of thing. So I don't think it's gonna be a 520 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: huge effect, and he might play. I think there's a 521 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: very good chance, maybe a better and fit recent chance, 522 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: that he plays on Sunday, and I don't know how 523 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: well he'll play with no preparation. The thing that concerns 524 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: you about him playing is not necessarily hasn't practiced, if 525 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: he hasn't been in meetings, So that would be the 526 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: concern there. I think that would be the only reason 527 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: that they would hesitate and that they should maybe pump 528 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: the brakes on him playing. It's one thing to play 529 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: without practicing, which he can, which he can do, and 530 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: which most elite players can do, and most players can 531 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: do if it's only been one week, um, But to 532 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: play without knowing the defense and being really immersed in 533 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: the schemes you're running. Uh, that's the one thing that 534 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: gavin't effect, right, And we know with the schemes and everything, 535 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: if Jalen is on key with everyone, that can lead 536 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: to yeah, well, if you're playing in the secondary. Is 537 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: that way with anybody. But if you're playing the secondary 538 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: and you're on the same page, all of a sudden 539 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: you're talking busted Big plays, So uh, we'll see what happens. 540 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: But that would be, in fact, the only thing I 541 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: can think of. And it's not distracting, because, like we've said, 542 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: it's been a week to week thing with Jaymen. It's 543 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: almost like this is just another thing. But the only 544 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: thing I can think of is Trey Herndon because you 545 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: go back and forth and back and forth. We were 546 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: talking to in the locker room room yesterday, and for 547 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: him not to know I think daily where he stands. 548 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: That's the only thing I could think of. It's tough. 549 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: But he's also been preparing for as a backup forever. 550 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that his role in what he's studying 551 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: to change that much based on whether or not Jane 552 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: Ramsey plays. I think if they were doing things along 553 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,719 Speaker 1: the lines, if it was this scenario, if you were 554 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: moving d J. Hayden from Nickel out to the outside 555 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: to replace him, I think that would be okay, who's 556 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: playing here? Who's playing here? He's playing They know it'll 557 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: be Trey Herndon. Trey Hernon's job has been to be 558 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: ready to play Nickel and play the outside. So it's 559 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: a small factor. But I don't think that's what people 560 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: are thinking when they think distraction. I think they think that, 561 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, Leonard for Nett and Brandon Lender are all 562 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: worked up about what's going on everywhere. I really think 563 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: at this point with Jalen, after three years, it's hey, 564 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: what Jalen say? Now? Okay, and then they move on 565 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: because he's a magnetic, polarizing guy. I don't think that 566 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: changes with this. Yeah, and we know how close Leonard 567 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: and Jalen are. Over the summer, I was up there 568 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: and I was asking Leonard about Jalen and he goes, oh, well, yeah, 569 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: he's the drama child. We know that he's he's drama 570 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: and they accepted for what it is, right, and it's 571 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: almost just another check of what he's done. Absolutely all right, Mike, 572 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: he will, he won't, He might? Is Leonard for nets 573 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: he will improve this week because we know that he's 574 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: been frustrated with the running game, with the lack of production. 575 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: But it doesn't just start with him. It starts the 576 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: offensive line. Like we heard head coach Doug Marrown say, 577 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: with how much it's been an emphasis this week, I 578 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: would think it has to improve at least a little bit. 579 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: He won't be all bright and shine everything's gonna be great. 580 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: There's always been been some frustrations about it. Um, he's 581 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: been vocal about how he's been using the blocking game. 582 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: That's going to have to continue. He's going to be 583 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: continued to be using the blocking game, but it's not 584 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: going to be just a bright, shiny path and everyone's 585 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna get along the rest of the season. With this 586 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: running game. It's gonna be a few bumpy pass at times, 587 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: and he might get his first touchdown of the season 588 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: this week. I see him coming back in a big way. 589 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: I think he's been very vocal and honest this week 590 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: about the running game, and I see it getting better 591 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: this week. He talked on Thursday about frustration, but I 592 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: thought that he was good in the way he talked 593 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: about it. It didn't feel like it was a frustration 594 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: that was aimed at other people. It was more, look, 595 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: we have to get this going. Um. They didn't play 596 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: together primarily because of injuries. The offensive line would have 597 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: been together more and I think they would have played 598 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: those guys, Uh, maybe a little more in in spots 599 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: had they been healthy. Cam was still coming back. Remember 600 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Cam's first game. Cam Robinson's first game was three. They 601 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: really haven't even haven't even had him for week one 602 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: or week two. He's a really important part of the 603 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: running game. Continuity in the running game, and we really 604 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: didn't get to this with Doug. Run blocking and run 605 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: offense is one thing that I've consistently over the years 606 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: seen teams improve on as the season goes on. A 607 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: lot of times teams are what they are entering the season. 608 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: You don't get that much better in spots. The running 609 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: game is the one exception of that because continuity is 610 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: so important. So if these guys can stay together, if 611 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: Camp can get comfortable, they had the pieces to be 612 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: a good run blocking team. It would not surprise me 613 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: if they got significantly better. I don't think they'd be 614 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: never won in the league with it. But you don't 615 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: have to be. As long as your running game is 616 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: giving your passing game opportunities, that should be enough. In 617 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, and Lennon was saying yesterday in the 618 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: locker room how he wants to be a running back 619 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: first and he loves the screen game and passes and blocking, 620 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: but I gotta be a running back first. And I 621 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: think that's where he's getting frustrated. He's been used in 622 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: so many different angles that the run games being affected 623 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: by and I think that will again. Oh where time 624 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: happened And he seemed to get that. He went there 625 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: a couple of times yesterday. Of Look, we didn't play 626 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: together very much in the preseason. This is going to 627 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: come a lot of times. The running game can look 628 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: a lot worse, and it can look tragic frankly, and 629 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: be a lot closer than people think. You get the 630 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: idea that they think they're getting there on some level. Yeah, 631 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: getting clubs all right?

Uncle Rico visiting the building yesterday. 661 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: It was a scene. It was a scene. Employees were 662 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: lined up outside to take pictures with Uncle Rico. Did 663 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: you grow up on on that movie? It was a 664 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: game changer, was right in your wheelhouse. It was a 665 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: little star struck, not gonna lie. I was like, no, Shelon, 666 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: don't be that girl and go get in line for 667 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: the picture. Oh it's okay with it right now? Yeah, 668 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: please don't do that. Is he a movie? Yeah, he's 669 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: an icon. He is an American icon. It's fair. So 670 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: it's going to be on Sunday NFL countdown what they 671 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: did together. I can only imagine how that conversation went. 672 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: So it was probably Gardener's wheelhouse too, because I mean 673 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: that movie is probably he was probably a little star struck, 674 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: probably a tier Napoleon dynamite. I've been't. I was drawing 675 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: a blank. But yeah, okay, that movie, well yeah I hadn't. 676 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: There you go, you're hipet, you're a hip all right, 677 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 1: pick one and pick it this weekend, two good ones. 678 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: Go for it. John, Um. I had to and I 679 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 1: need to see the graphic to be honest. Okay, Cowboys Saints. 680 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: I remember I was I was strongly considering two from 681 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: the NFC, and I was feeling a little guilty about 682 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: not going a f C South. But the a f 683 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: C South we didn't have any premium matchups and there 684 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: were a couple that It appears to me the Jaguars 685 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: need to win this week because it looks like the 686 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: other a f C South teams will win, so they 687 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: need to win to keep pace. Cowboys Saints is a 688 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: huge game. I think it's a statement game of sorts 689 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: for the Saints, who went out to Seattle last week 690 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: and surprised me by being able to win real untily 691 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: convincingly on the road in Seattle. A lot of people 692 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are a playoff team. This is the 693 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: kind of game to me. Historically, the Saints go win 694 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: and draw the Cowboys back to the pack a little bit. 695 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: It's very hard early in the season for a team 696 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,439 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys, unbeaten, to beat a historically good team 697 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: like the Saints and sort of bury them. So this 698 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: again plays in the first half the season. To me, 699 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: is always desperate team time. If a team thinks it's 700 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: about to play its way out but still has a 701 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: chance to be in it, or if they're in danger 702 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: of getting knocked out but still has a chance to 703 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: be in it, they're very dangerous. I think Saints in 704 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: this one. Ezekiel Elliott. It seems like ever since he 705 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: got that contract and got paid, the Cowboys have been 706 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: so hyped up nationally wide. Obviously because of how they're playing, 707 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 1: but so much attention is on the Cowboys. You really 708 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: don't hear much about Saints at all. It feels like 709 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 1: a year that is coming together for the Cowboys. They've 710 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: been good and close and talked about because they're the 711 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys for four or five years. The way they've started, 712 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: it feels like they have it together. It feels they're 713 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: going to be there for the long term. Often that 714 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: team in in the short term during the season, it's 715 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: going to hit some snags against really good teams. If 716 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win this, it's a huge statement to me 717 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: because the Saints are desperate, and it's hard to be 718 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: team desperate in September and October. Alright, my pick one 719 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: and pick it is Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. Minnesota 720 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: Vikings offense Dalvin Cook is the focal point lately. Ran 721 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 1: the ball a hundred and three times so far, third 722 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: most in the league, and they're looking to go three 723 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: and Oh they're undefeated at this point. But it's hard 724 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: to run against the Bears defense. We watched them play 725 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: last week and their defense is really impressive. Not many 726 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: lanes to run against the Bears. They've only allowed three 727 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: yards per carry. After watching the Bears last week and 728 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: that defense, I don't know many offenses that can beat them. Yeah, 729 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,720 Speaker 1: defense is really good. Uh. The Vikings defense is also 730 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: really good. These are two teams I would expect to 731 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs I chase late in the season. 732 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: I was as surprised the Packers lost last night, but 733 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: again not team desperate because the Eagles really needed the 734 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: Packers needed a much So Uh, this really isn't either 735 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: case being I have to this to me feels like 736 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: more like two teams are gonna fight for it at 737 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: the end. Uh. I like the Vikings a little more 738 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: because it feels like the Bears offensive self in trouble 739 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: getting going. All right, John, we gotta end the show. 740 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: Are they gonna win Sunday? I think they will, um it. 741 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 1: It is tough It's a tough point for the Jags 742 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: because the Broncos do have talent. They're playing at home. 743 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: If the Broncos get breaks early, then it's gonna be dangerous. 744 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: But you would like to see the Jaguars somehow do 745 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: exactly what they did last week, which is obviously got 746 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: a four teen point lead. It goes about saying, but 747 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: to get a couple more breaks early to get things 748 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: going their way early. This team, once it starts rushing 749 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 1: the pastor is very dangerous, meaning the Jaguars the Broncos 750 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: are the same thing. So, uh, you don't want to 751 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: give a team like this life early. So I think 752 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,959 Speaker 1: the first quarter of this game is very key because 753 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: Mile High. If it gets going, they're going to think 754 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: they have a chance and that they're saving their season. 755 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: So you want to go as much as possibly want 756 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: to kill the way. But I don't think that I 757 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: felt really confident about the Titans game last week they 758 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: were gonna win big. I don't think they're gonna win big, 759 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: but I thinks Jack was find a way to win. 760 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: I wrote in your final analysis that I think if 761 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: Cam Robinson and Joan Taylor show up to play, they 762 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: got no problem von Miller and Bradley Chubb. That's they're 763 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: on the plane. Yeah, what I'm saying, they gotta gotta 764 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: be yes, they have to be as well. Yeah, that's Keith. 765 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 1: I think they'll play. I mean, it's a huge game 766 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: for both of them. Uh. And it's a chance for 767 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,240 Speaker 1: Camp particularly to play well. He's been sort of quietly 768 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: criticized at times over the last couple of years when 769 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: he has played, so it's a chance for him to 770 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: prove something. Bounce back game for sure. Big task. Alright, 771 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: stay tuned Sunday morning Jaguars pregame Radio right here in 772 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: the studio.
