15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: fun stuff catching up with Nick. And then we had

Speaker 2: They all want to talk to Greg Cosel from NFL Films.

33

Speaker 2: Greg is as they would call a film watcher a

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: long time ago. Do you know, let's put the film

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: on bro. That was my famous statement. Well, Greg and

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: I are kind of kindred spirits in that way, so

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: we had a lot to talk about. We talked about CJ. Stroud,

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: We talked about the NFL at large quarterbacks. We talked

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: about the young quarterbacks that are in this particular draft

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: of what this draft could yield from that standpoint. Check

41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: out our conversation with Greg Coussel of NFL Films right here.

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: Greg co cell NFL Films, joining us now here at

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 3: the NFL Scouting Combine. Greg, great to see it, Great

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: to see you guys as always. Yeah, it's always fun

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: to catch up. And here we are again. Johnny says,

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 3: it's not a quarterback draft, and look, quarterbacks are something

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about throughout the course of the conversation.

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: But your thoughts on observing the Houston Texans this year?

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: The season did not end the way we wanted it to,

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: but a lot of good things to remember. They won

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: ten in a row, including the playoff game. It flamed

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: out of New England.

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Greg, Well, to be honest with you, they're

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: one of my favorite defenses to watch.

55
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: You know.

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 4: That's the thing that stands out most when I watch

57
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: the Texans.

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 5: You know, They're They're.

59
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 4: One of those defenses that I would think that most

60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: people would probably say they're not one of the most

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: complex defenses.

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: But I think that.

63
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: Demico does such a great job situationally, you know, so

64
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: it's not as if their high percentage blitz that they're

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: just going to come out and pressure you. But I

66
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: think situational football is where they're so good on defense,

67
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: and then they just have personnel. Like I started talking

68
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: very early this season, maybe week three or four, that

69
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: I thought that Bullock was the best post safety in

70
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: the NFL.

71
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Now.

72
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: I remember doing him coming out of USC and he

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: was a post safety and I just thought to myself,

74
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: that's the way he should be deployed in the league.

75
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: Now as the season went on, they'd moved him down

76
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: in the box a little bit more, you know, they

77
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 4: because obviously can't just do the same thing every week,

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: and he's capable of that because he does have an

79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: aggressive mindset. But just as a pure post safety, I mean,

80
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: I don't think there's anybody better right now in this league.

81
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: And you know, it's funny. I remember years ago having

82
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: a conversation with Dan Quinn when it was the Legion

83
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: of Boom years and asking him, you know, who's the

84
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: most important player on your defense? And he didn't hesitate.

85
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: He said, Earl Thomas, because he makes up for any

86
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: mistake we make in front of him. And you know,

87
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: a lot of times, even watching film, you don't know

88
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: what specific mistakes might be made, you know, because they're

89
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: not glaring. You know, you and know how it goes.

90
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: You know, a guy might just take his eyes maybe

91
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: in the wrong place, and he's a step behind.

92
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: Sometimes you just don't know that.

93
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: But when you have a player like Bullock on the

94
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: back end, he can just compensate and camouflage for any

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: mistakes in front of him.

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 5: He's so good.

97
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: And the other part of that defense we all know

98
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: about Hunter and and and Will Anderson and Will Anderson,

99
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 4: you know, speed to power. I think he's maybe the

100
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: best in the league. But those d tackles, to me,

101
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: were overlooked all season long. I mean, Tommy t Rankins Edwards.

102
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: I mean, these guys, they were dominant players inside, and

103
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: you know, we tend to focus on the pass rushers, right.

104
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it's pretty remarkable that the Neil Hunter had

105
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 4: four and a half saxon college and now he's got

106
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 4: what like one hundred and fifteen in his NFL career.

107
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: When we signed and we signed to Neil, I went

108
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: and I found my scouting report. Yea, And you're sitting now.

109
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: For people people in Houston.

110
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: Know, but for a lot of people out there that

111
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: don't know, Danil walks up and he's got arms like

112
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: legs like fans popping out like he is the most

113
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: put together guy. And He's sitting two feet from me

114
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: right and I'm reading him his scouting report for going

115
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: into his draft, whichever year that was, and as I'm

116
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: reading it, I'm realizing, Oh, I'm reaching a point where

117
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: I kind of criticized him right here. And all of

118
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: a sudden, I finished it and there's like this five

119
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: second pause and he goes, that's dead on, and I.

120
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: Was like, oh God.

121
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: And my point in bringing that up is he was

122
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: not a ready made pass rusher coming into the league.

123
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: He was not.

124
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: He was an athlete, a freak zoid with length and

125
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: did things and his game has just rounded into shape

126
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: with his pass rush moves, et cetera.

127
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: We saw there was a.

128
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: One of the TV's on we were in here yesterday

129
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: and it had the Lions trading for Miles Garrett and

130
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: Mark asked me a question. He said, Daneil Hunter and

131
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: Will Anderson Junior or Garrett and Aiden Hutchinson.

132
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: And I was like, whoa, And then it hit me.

133
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: And this is a way to talk about those tools, right.

134
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: Are they the best duo or they one of the

135
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: top two or three best duos? How do you look

136
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: at Danil and will across.

137
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: There in comparison with the league there, I mean, again

138
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: without going through every single team, which you know we

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: can't right now, they're certainly right there. I mean, and

140
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: they're different because because Anderson is just I mean, he

141
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: is speed to power. You know, there's a couple of

142
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 4: guys like that, Jared versus the Rams is like that.

143
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: But Anderson is just I mean, he is so strong

144
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 4: and plays with such incredible leverage.

145
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 5: I mean, he is a force. And then Hunter.

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 4: Hunter can do speed to power at times, but he's

147
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: he's a little more gumbish. He's a little more bendyish. Yeah,

148
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: you know, and you know, they're just different players. And

149
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: then they've gotten good snaps from other guys, you know.

150
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: And again, I don't know, I'm not into the free

151
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: agent mode yet. You know, I've been watching college players.

152
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: But they got good snaps from Barnett, they even got

153
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: good snaps from Horton. You know, They've got good snaps

154
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: from other players, you know. So it's been a nice rotation.

155
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 4: But I just want to reiterate those d tackles because

156
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 4: no one talks about him. I mean, you guys probably do.

157
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: You're in Houston, but around the league, no one talks

158
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: about him. And I've been talking about him since early

159
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: in the season because they stand out on film every

160
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: single week.

161
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 6: Greg Cosell with Us, Greg CJ. Stroud.

162
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: You watched him play in the playoffs, regular season, and

163
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 3: you watched him play in college and all tiah pro career.

164
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: So your thoughts on where he's at right now, where

165
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: he's gonna go.

166
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: He's he's kind of an enigma wrapped in a riddle

167
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: to me, you know. I mean, we saw him play

168
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 4: as a rookie. I remember it might have been week

169
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: two in his rookie season. I think they played the

170
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: Colts if memory serves me correctly, week two in his

171
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 4: rookie season, and just the anticipation throws and the confidences

172
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: which he threw. I just sat back and went, Wow,

173
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: this guy has exactly what it takes to be a

174
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: high level pocket quarterback, because that's what he is. I mean,

175
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 4: he's not a statue. But if he's gonna be a

176
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: great player, it's gonna be as a pocket quarterback. I

177
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: think we'd all agree on that, right. He's not gonna

178
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: be a playmaker. He's a pocket quarterback and over these

179
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: last two years. I mean, I don't know what's in

180
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: his head, none of us do, but it just seems

181
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: like he's playing so fast, Like you know, mentally, everything

182
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: has gotten speeded up, which speeds it then everything up physically,

183
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: And I don't know what the answer is. He has

184
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: moments where you look at him because he throws a

185
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: beautiful ball. I mean, if you're just talking about though

186
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: he throws a football, he might be top five in

187
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: the league. But he just everything seems to be fast.

188
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: And I don't know what the answer to that is.

189
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: I'm not a coach, you know, I'm not with him

190
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: every day, but he clearly has the talent, that's not

191
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 4: the issue. It's just something is sometimes I watch him

192
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: and I always sometimes I feel like he's inventing pressure.

193
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: You know, when you're a pocket quarterback, you have to

194
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: be able to throw in what we call you know,

195
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: people have different terms noisy pockets, money pockets, dirty pockets,

196
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: and he just has not done that well the last

197
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: couple of years.

198
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Greg.

199
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: In THEFC South, it's changed a little bit. Jacksonville's really

200
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: good this year. Indy started off the years yeaher one

201
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: team in the league and kind of faded. The team

202
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: that interests me this year because they've got money, they've

203
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: got Robert Solids and head, and I think they can

204
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: do some things. What did you see from cam Ward

205
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: as his rookie season, war On because he's a little

206
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: he's different than CJ. Right, but he's got arm strength

207
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: on arm strength? Do you think of cam Ward as

208
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: the year world? I thought he clearly improved. I think

209
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: he's got some things that you really have to focus

210
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: on as a coach in terms of mechanics, because you know,

211
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: his lower body mechanics tend to be erratic. I think

212
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: at times because of that, he drops down so low

213
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: to throw the ball, so like a six one and

214
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: a half six to two guy, if he throws it

215
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: like he's five to ten, And I think you really

216
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: got to work on that. Now, maybe that's the way

217
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: he throws it and you can't fix it, but I

218
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: think you got to try to work on that. But

219
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: I think in terms of and I've gotten a chance

220
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: to be around him, so I've talked to him, and

221
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: he definitely has the right mentality.

222
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: He's he's mentally tough. You know, he has what it

223
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: takes to be a good quarterback. And he clearly improved. So,

224
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: you know, I think with Dable there, I think back

225
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: to what Dabele did with Josh Allen early in Josh

226
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 4: Allen's career. And the one thing about Dable is he'll

227
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 4: push the ball down the field, and I think that's

228
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: cam Ward's game. I think cam Ward is an aggressive

229
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: mindset quarterback and wants to push the ball down the field. Now,

230
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: you made a great point about the cap space. It'll

231
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: be very interesting to see what they do in the

232
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: off season. But I think because they need a lot,

233
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: and you guys know when you need a lot, you

234
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: can't fix everything in one off season. That's not possible.

235
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: So I'm very anxious to see what they prioritize. You know,

236
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: that'll say a lot about what, you know, what they

237
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: think of themselves.

238
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: Greg, What about Trevor Lawrence, because again another guy you've

239
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 3: watched forever. Yeah, it was looking not so good, then good,

240
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: then not so good again, and now a lot better

241
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: because they won the division. They want a big run.

242
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: And he looked good after they lost with the Texans.

243
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: They didn't lose again until the playoffs, and he was

244
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: really starting to put some things together.

245
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: And I've always been a big believer in coaching, and

246
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 4: I think that, you know, Liam Cohen obviously did a

247
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: great job with that because you know, it might be

248
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 4: cliched to some extent, but I think what the really

249
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: good coaches do is they really define the res and

250
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: the throws for the quarterback so that when the quarterback

251
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: hits his back foot, he knows where to go with

252
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 4: the football. Now, is can you always throw it to

253
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: the primary?

254
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: Go?

255
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 7: Of course not.

256
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 4: But the way when you're sort of in the McVeigh

257
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: Shanahan school, which is what Liam Cohen is, it's a

258
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: very choreographed offense.

259
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: You know.

260
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: It's in other words, you're not asking receivers like in

261
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 4: the Tom Brady offense, where hey, they're playing off the

262
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: leverage of this guy, let's see what you do.

263
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: You know, it's not that it's.

264
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: Choreographed so that, hey, you hit your back foot and

265
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 4: ideally the primary is there, you throw it. If the

266
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: primary is not there, you just go to number. You know,

267
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: it's more of that, and we won't get into all

268
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: the details of that, but you know, it's more of

269
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 4: that pure progression stuff, right, you know, and everything is

270
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: really tightly choreographed, and I think for for Trevor Lawrence,

271
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: he needed that because he's not a guy to me

272
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 4: that can get stuck in the pocket. Because when he

273
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 4: gets stuck in the pocket and there's people around him,

274
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: he tends to lengthen his stride. He tends and then

275
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: his arm is late and he ends up being a

276
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 4: little scatter shot. He needs to play within the rhythm

277
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: of an offense. Now, theoretically all quarterbacks do, but some

278
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: more than others, you know, Like to me, Josh Allen

279
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: doesn't always have to play in the rhythm in the

280
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: offense to be a good player. You know, some guys can,

281
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: some guys can't. Trevor in those games, you know, once

282
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: those eight or nine whatever it was, he just looked

283
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: like such a rhythmic player. And I think that comes

284
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: back to coaching.

285
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to watch them now.

286
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: Throughout the twenty twenty five season, Drake made New England

287
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: one of the biggest stories in the league. Then they

288
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: got to the playoffs and I know they beat US

289
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 2: and Drake had a few touchdown passes that game, but

290
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 2: he didn't.

291
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Look great against the Chargers. No, didn't look tremendous against US.

292
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: Didn't look great in Denver, but obviously big snowstorm and

293
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: then the Super Bowl.

294
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Hits and he has a rough night as a As

295
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: a guy that's watched him, I'm sure a million domes.

296
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 7: Yeah.

297
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: Do you think that was a result of just during

298
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: the season not playing defenses like the ones he faces

299
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: in the play Else? Do you think there was something

300
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 2: that was going on with the offensive line that was

301
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: impacting him? Do you think this is one of the

302
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: situations where he can bounce back from whatever happened in

303
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs?

304
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

305
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: Now, again, that's a totally different offense where you know,

306
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 4: you're you're giving him all the answers to the test

307
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: and then he has to figure out what's appropriate in

308
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 4: that given game, right, you know that's totally different.

309
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: From what they question, right, so I can have the answer, right.

310
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. That's different from like the Mcveighanahean approach. It's

311
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: a whole different school of thought in teaching a quarterback.

312
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 4: I don't think that what we saw toward the end

313
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: of the season is what he'll be. I think he's

314
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: you know, was this year in some ways magical and

315
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: is it going to be the same every year? Probably not.

316
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: But I don't think that you can. You're gonna need

317
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: to worry about Drake May. I think he's because he's

318
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: got that mentality. He's going to be a good player.

319
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: This was a special season. Sure one could argue the

320
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: quality of competition. Obviously getting the playoffs, you played better players,

321
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: you know, better teams, better schemes you know.

322
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 5: But to me, I wouldn't be worried about him.

323
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Greg Cosell joining us, Greg, a few more for you.

324
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: As far as the Colts go, they reside in the

325
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: city we are in right now, and their quarterback situation

326
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: very iffy because you got Daniel Jones hurt coming back

327
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: and who knows what.

328
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 6: He's a free agent and he's a.

329
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 3: Free agent coming back to play, but where and it

330
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: could be here, you would think, because he did so well, Yes,

331
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: but will that happen again?

332
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 6: And we saw Riley Leonard in week eighteen. We thought

333
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 6: Riley Leonard looked pretty good.

334
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: Look pretty good. Yeah, I watched that date he.

335
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: Was making some place now the Texans sat guys as

336
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: the game went on, but I thought, maybe this is

337
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: somebody who they can have compete with whatever else is

338
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: available until Jones gets back.

339
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 6: If they do re sign Jones. I know there's a

340
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 6: lot going on there.

341
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: But your thoughts on the Colts, because they do have

342
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: a lot of talent still probably at the franchise Pierce

343
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: or do something of that nature, what do you think?

344
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: You know, I think that there's expectations here in this town.

345
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: As you said, we're sitting here in Indianapolis.

346
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 7: Now.

347
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 4: I don't think they would go into the season with

348
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: Riley Leonard as the starter because I think there's an

349
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: expectation that, hey, you know, look what we did last

350
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: year until Jones got hurt, that we were you know,

351
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 4: they were leading the division. Jones was having a phenomenal season.

352
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: Now again, that kind of injury you never know, and

353
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: who knows if someone's willing to pay big dollars or

354
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: if he he's going to sign a one or two

355
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: year deal and be back here. I think they would

356
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: love for him to be back. He clearly was comfortable

357
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: in the Shane steike In offense. If he's back and

358
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: can play at you know, relative full health, I think

359
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: their offense is pretty good. I mean, obviously they can

360
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: run the ball. They got a good old line. We'll

361
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 4: see what happens with Pierce because he's a really interesting

362
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: player to me. I remember when he came out of

363
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: Cincinnati and I really liked him, and you know, maybe

364
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: he's not.

365
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 5: A volume target, but he's an impressive player.

366
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: His numbers against us were ridiculous. Yeah, and he got

367
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: thrown out of the game in a third quarter.

368
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 5: Yeah Yeah.

369
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: And their defenses, you know, probably need some upgrades here

370
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: and there, but it's not a bad defense. So you know,

371
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: they're a legit team, but obviously you need a quarterback.

372
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 4: And I just don't think with where they are and

373
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: the expectations, particularly how well they played early, would be, Hey,

374
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: let's play Riley Leonard and see how it goes.

375
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, good point.

376
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: Greg.

377
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: One of the teams that we will face for the well,

378
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: we're actually going there for the first time in eight years.

379
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: It's a team that you live the closest to.

380
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't know that anybody can kind of figure out

381
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: what's going out to Philadelphia Eagles, right.

382
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: Oh, so you guys go to Philly this year? Yeah,

383
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 4: Philly this year? Oh wow?

384
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: What is going on with Philadelphia Eagles? Are they moving?

385
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: Aj Brown? What are your thoughts about how things went

386
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: this year? Well, where they're going?

387
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: They made a clear decision this offseason, and they wouldn't

388
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: have made it unless they thought that Jalen Hurts could

389
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: do it. But they changed their entire offensive coaching staff

390
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: to sort of the McVey Shanahan approach right with the

391
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: coaches that they signed, So that is a one hundred

392
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: and eighty degree turn from what they were. Now, you

393
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: don't do that unless you think your quarterback can handle it,

394
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: because you know so they think he can. I guess

395
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 4: time will tell because we know that that offense is

396
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 4: so rhythm based and Jalen up to this point in

397
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: his career has not really been that kind of player.

398
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 4: But like I said, to do that, you have to

399
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 4: believe he can do it, you know, So I guess

400
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna find out. I mean, look, obviously, two years

401
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 4: ago when they won the Super Bowl, they had an

402
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 4: historic run game. You know, no one figured they were

403
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: going to do that again. But also no one figured

404
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 4: it would be bad. It was a bad run game

405
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 4: this year and the old line was not good at all.

406
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: Now we know Elane Johnson's coming back, but you know

407
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 4: he's thirty five, thirty six. Can he play a full season?

408
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 4: Lyndon Dickerson I mean, just as a human being. I

409
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 4: feel bad for the guy because he's going to be

410
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 4: the guy that when he's thirty five, it's probably gonna

411
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: have a tough time getting out of bed. Yeah, you know,

412
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 4: but he said he's coming back, so you know, we don't.

413
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: And obviously they have a new old loan coach, and

414
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: it's going to be taught totally differently, you know how

415
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 4: you know that's taught in that system totally differently than

416
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: what they were under Jeff Stalin. So there's a lot

417
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: of changes that are impossible to know. But obviously they

418
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: wouldn't have made these changes because that's a building and

419
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 4: it's probably like your building now where you're now expecting

420
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: to win. This is not like, oh, let's see what

421
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: happens and hope we win some games. I mean that building,

422
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: and I know because I know a lot of people

423
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 4: in that building, well, you know, they're expecting to be

424
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 4: in a super Bowl every year, you know, So this

425
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 4: is not like, oh, let's see what happens and if

426
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 4: we win eight games, that's cool.

427
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 5: You know, that's not the way they're thinking.

428
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: Last one from me Ferdanda Mendoza. Yeah, I know you've

429
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: looked at him half. So he's going to be the

430
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: number one pick of the draft. Is he worthy of that?

431
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 4: You know, in some ways he's old school stylistically, He's

432
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 4: like Jared Goff. Okay, and GoF was a number one pick.

433
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 4: And he's had a great career, you know. I mean,

434
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 4: maybe people don't look at him and go, oh, he's

435
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 4: one of the top two or three in the league.

436
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 4: But I mean the guy, assuming he keeps doing this

437
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: for a number more years, I mean, the guy has

438
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: been a really good quarterback in the NFL.

439
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 5: Now, he's a specific.

440
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 4: Kind of quarterback, you know, clearly, but you know, I

441
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 4: think Mendoza falls into that category. You know, he can

442
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: run in a straight line and maybe pick up a

443
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: first down, but you wouldn't call him a playmaker.

444
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 5: He's a pocket quarterback, and you know.

445
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: I think that he's pretty strong at kind of the

446
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: disciplined craft element in the position, which I don't think

447
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 4: it's talked about enough. I'm on a little rant the

448
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: last this season and now into this way when people say, well,

449
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 4: so and so has got great traits as a quarterback,

450
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 4: and you know what what they tend to mean is

451
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: he can throw it hard, he can run but is

452
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 4: that what the quarterback position is in the NFL. That's

453
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 4: not what it is to me. You know, no one

454
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 4: talks to me. It's about nuanced detail, subtleties. It's a

455
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: disciplined craft, the mental game. Yeah, and I think Mendoza

456
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 4: can do that.

457
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 7: Now.

458
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to sit here and say's going to

459
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 4: be a great player. No one knows the answer to that.

460
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 4: But I think he fits more in that category. And

461
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: that's not a bad thing. That to me is a

462
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 4: good thing. I mean, don't you agree?

463
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: And I think I think the marriage if he and

464
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: Klik Kubiak too, I think I agree to be a

465
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 2: good one. Yeah, I really do.

466
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean we we had Mattchob in Houston for a

467
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: number of years.

468
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, look at yeah, and that's not the

469
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: most quote unquote athletic quarterback, but on boots and waggles.

470
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: And those he was running that offense, yes, exactly.

471
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: And I think that's what Fernando is gonna be in

472
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: and he's gonna run an offense and then.

473
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 4: Well and they need a line help because when Schob

474
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: was in with you guys, li'sn't arian foster the back. Yeah,

475
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: I mean you guys had a really good well, it

476
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: starts with the run game in that offense exactly. You know,

477
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 4: so Mendoz is gonna have to learn how to play

478
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 4: under center because that's turning your back to the defense

479
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: and play action from under center is a learn trade.

480
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 4: I mean people just say, oh, they'll run play action,

481
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: but you.

482
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 7: Got to learn.

483
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 4: You know, if you're not used to turning your back

484
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: to the defense, that's a whole new world, particularly in

485
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: the NFL.

486
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 6: You know a lot of yeah, yeah, the.

487
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: Game speed's already gone up, and it's like he turning back,

488
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: Oh right, right right, So you're getting you're getting used

489
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: all that. But I think people have asked me like, hey,

490
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: what about Fernando with Cuback, Like that's the best.

491
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 6: Could possible to have, That's the best move.

492
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: To start off with.

493
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 2: I think he would as opposed to being in you know,

494
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: like Drake May with Josh mc daniel's offense there hard perks, right,

495
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 2: I think that offense will fit Mendoza. Yeah, you know,

496
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: Mendoz is gonna make anything try and fit for him

497
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 2: because that's this kind of player he is, guy, he

498
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 2: is kind of competitor who he is.

499
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: I just think the click Kubiak system is going.

500
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: To and I've heard him speak and I think he

501
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 4: has a sense of understanding how to.

502
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 5: Play the position the right way.

503
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 4: You know, again, we'll see, you know, obviously their old

504
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: line is a mess right now, and you know, we'll

505
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 4: see what happens with Tree Agency in the draft.

506
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: As we speak, big snowfall on the East Coast.

507
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 6: Okay, everybody, Okay at home?

508
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah.

509
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 4: I had to come here a couple of days early

510
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: because I knew, you know, my wife said, we better

511
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 4: get you out of here now because you're just going

512
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 4: to be miserable for the next three days. So so

513
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 4: I came out early because you know, I had to.

514
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: Otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to get here

515
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 4: till Wednesday or Thursday, and that kind of defeats the purpose.

516
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, Greg, thanks so much for being with us.

517
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,200

574
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: JP? You were wondering what we're gonna talk about? There

575
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: you go, is short time?

576
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 6: Give me your resume.

577
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 7: Apreciate that.

578
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: How many games did you do this year? All told?

579
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 8: It wasn't eleven something like that. I mean six, six

580
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 8: or seven college games on Touchdown Radio smaller national network,

581
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 8: but then four with Westwood.

582
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: One, but all the Jaguars pre imposed, all the Jaguars

583
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: radio during the week. And it was a heck of

584
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 3: a Jaguars season. So how worried were you when things

585
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: weren't going as well as they possibly could?

586
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 8: So it all started the day after the collapse in Houston.

587
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was where.

588
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 8: Okay, what's gonna happen here? Like how are people going

589
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 8: to walk around the building. In the past around there

590
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 8: people would freak out and melt down and like it

591
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 8: would have been a total collapse moment. How does this

592
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 8: new group, this new leadership, keep the locker room from

593
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 8: not losing and maintain some faith and realize that they're

594
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 8: the ones who let this happen. From the Jaguars perspective, yep,

595
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 8: like they're up seventeen, Like you guys let off the pedal.

596
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 8: We let off the pedal as play callers, and the

597
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 8: coach took a lot of the heat for that, and Okay,

598
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 8: so that brought everybody together and they go out the

599
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 8: next week and dominate the Chargers and find a way

600
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 8: to kind of find those sea legs again. And then

601
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 8: the momentum built from there and the quarterback played better

602
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 8: and there was a confidence both way between he and

603
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 8: the head coach that built that took some time to

604
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 8: really flourish, and once it did, look out and that's

605
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 8: where it turned. It was right after that Houston game. Obviously,

606
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 8: both team seasons turned with that game, and the last

607
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 8: two months of the season were just incredible to watch

608
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 8: both teams play like they did.

609
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: We kept thinking in Houston.

610
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: We knew, like after that game, I always go up

611
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: to Mark's office and we sit and chat about thanks,

612
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: and I was like.

613
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: They got the Chargers next week. Oh man, they're going

614
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: to get hammered.

615
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: But one thing I thought was interesting both I think

616
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 2: Gladstone said it, but I know Tony said it. And

617
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: I remember kind of jabbing at Tony on radio in Houston, like,

618
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: wait a second, bro. He said, this is the most

619
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: important game in Jaguar's history. And I just remember the

620
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: dude played in AFC championship games.

621
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: He can't be serious.

622
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: And yet I think it was a brilliant move because

623
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: it seemed like it ref focused everybody away from Houston

624
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: and back into hey, we got business take care of.

625
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: And then I remember we the next week we had Tennessee,

626
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: and I remember we were in Tennessee and we were.

627
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: Like, the Jaguars are doing what to the Chargers? What's this?

628
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: He just kept getting worse and worse, and I can't

629
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: follow it as much. Down They're giving me the scores

630
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: and I'm like, and so you're right, it turned there.

631
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: But I feel like wassell he made a great move

632
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 2: and saying, look, this is the most important game they've

633
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: ever played. Because it turned out the way that it did,

634
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: it seemed like it was a Prussian comment.

635
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 8: That turned into a weekly thing with Tony because he

636
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 8: would come on our show on Thursdays called JAG's HQ,

637
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 8: where we you know, have him and James Gladstone our

638
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 8: GM on together for thirty minutes on Thursdays after doing

639
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 8: drivetime radio, and he would begin pretty much every show

640
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 8: with that line, Yeah, this game this week is the

641
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 8: biggest game in the history of the franchise. And it

642
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 8: turned into a meme on the internet and came outside

643
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 8: of the radio show. But he had been consistently saying

644
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 8: that on our show, and then it hit after the

645
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 8: Houston game, and then he kept doubling down on it,

646
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 8: and people who weren't aware were like, what does he

647
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 8: say in this idiot doesn't make any sense, Like what

648
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 8: are you doing? But it was consistent all year long

649
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 8: with Tony and his approach on that show and what

650
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 8: the approach should be in the building. It doesn't matter

651
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 8: if we went and lost last week, got the Texans

652
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 8: next week, you got to go play that game. Well, right,

653
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 8: you know, the Chargers are next week or whatever's next,

654
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 8: you know, And that's the most important game in the

655
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 8: history of the franchise is the next one.

656
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 6: What did you learn from the playoff game though?

657
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: And did the narrative on the way I mean, obviously

658
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: you didn't like losing in the playoffs, right, but how

659
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: did that affect the narrative going into the postseason, impossibilities

660
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: for improvement, change whatever in twenty twenty six.

661
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 8: Well, they were there in the game. I mean, they

662
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 8: were in it. If they win that game, they might

663
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 8: go to the Super Bowl. I mean they were that

664
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 8: confident and against anybody else in the AFC that if

665
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 8: they handle business against Josh Allen.

666
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 7: Then look out.

667
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 8: They had already beating the Broncos by two touchdowns on

668
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 8: the road.

669
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 7: Like they weren't worried.

670
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 8: About going to Denver. I mean everybody else in the

671
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 8: league was worried about it. Jack's weren't worried about that. Unfortunately,

672
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 8: big plays against the defense kind of blew up the game.

673
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 8: They were out of corners, you know, Jordan Lewis was injured,

674
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 8: didn't play in the game. Travis Hunter, who was out

675
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 8: the second half of the season. Those are your top

676
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 8: two corners and they're not out there in the playoff game,

677
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 8: and that was exploited down the field and that's part

678
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 8: of the reason why they lost it. They were very

679
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 8: confident in what the offense was doing and now they

680
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 8: missed a couple of pieces in the offensive line.

681
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 7: In that game.

682
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 8: Van Lanta didn't play, who turned into really a great

683
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 8: player who they expended. But they are on the doorstep.

684
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 8: They feel of being a consistent year after year division

685
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 8: title candidate, like going out and being that team that

686
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 8: can run the division. Texans feel the same way too.

687
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 8: I get that. So this is the great rivalry now

688
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 8: of the next hopefully the next five to ten years

689
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 8: in the AFC South.

690
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting after the loss of Buffalo

691
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: JP because of the way it happened. You know, you know,

692
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen with the touch push getting in the end

693
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: zone and then Trevor Thorn interception at the end, and

694
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: you know, obviously.

695
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: You're scrambling at the end.

696
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: But it felt like in a situation like that, in

697
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: most cases, there's gonna be a lot of vitriol about

698
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: the Jags had the opportunity to win it, blah blah blah.

699
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: They went on, But it felt like from Afar the

700
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: narrative was look we didn't get this one, but we

701
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: are set up to go win the next one and

702
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: the next one after that.

703
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 7: And a lot of people made earlier in the game.

704
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 8: He went forward on a fourth down instead of kicking

705
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 8: a field goal early the game, and that's just gonna

706
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 8: be liam.

707
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the people have to get used

708
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 7: to that.

709
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 6: It's a lot of people in the league, Ran.

710
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 7: Campbell, all those guys right, so Lytics and there.

711
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 8: We'd rather give them the ball at their own seven

712
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 8: instead of take three and they'll get it at the

713
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 8: forty or thirty five. Got out and then they just

714
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 8: kicked whatever, right, and usually that works out when it's

715
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 8: Josh Allen who goes for ninety two yards on the

716
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 8: next drive and a touchdown. It kind of flipped the

717
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 8: momentum of the game early. That's just kind of how

718
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 8: it went. So they're right there. They feel like they've

719
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 8: got to kind of figure out a few things on defense. Yeah,

720
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 8: questions about running back now with Etn probably not coming

721
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 8: back and the receivers are now set up for a while.

722
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: Yep.

723
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 3: JP Shadwick joining US Jaguars media. All right, the Colts

724
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: will they be back? I don't even know what back is,

725
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 3: how do you think they're going to do this year?

726
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: Go back to the seventy and one or whatever they were,

727
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: or back to the backsliding second half of the season.

728
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 6: Colts.

729
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of it, but your

730
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: thoughts on their situation, JP, Oh.

731
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 8: He played two different quarterbacks last year. I mean Philip

732
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 8: Rivers started against the Jaguars in Week seventeen or what we.

733
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: Thought we thought we had. He had you beat, Like

734
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: he's got the Jags beat.

735
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 7: It was a little iffy for a moment. That's a question.

736
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 8: That's where that's the number one issue and has been

737
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 8: for the last five whatever six years since Andrew Luck.

738
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 8: They've had what twelve different starting quarterbacks since I mean.

739
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: Even before that Ballot took over in seventeen, and he's

740
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: had a different starting quarterback every year, right and the like.

741
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: There have been multiple years in there where he's had

742
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: two and even three started different starters during the year.

743
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, always feels like they have a couple of receivers,

744
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 8: you know in the running games there obviously with the

745
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 8: running back and the defense has some moments, but you know,

746
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 8: they're the third place team in the division. Obviously, Tennessee's

747
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 8: got a long road a ho and he's there, and

748
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 8: it's the Jags and the Texans. The Colts are kind

749
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 8: of that, you know, they can't have a quarterback.

750
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

751
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: It does set up the division very well for the

752
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: Jags and Texans as far as the rivalry goes.

753
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 6: Could be a primetime game between the two, you never know, could.

754
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 8: Be a Thursday Week two, get it out of the

755
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 8: way game. That's how the network usually handles that, right,

756
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 8: they're smart.

757
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: It'll be week fifteen and eighteen. That's what they'll do.

758
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Sunday night, Monday night eighteen. Oh yeah, come on,

759
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: that's what That's what they need to do.

760
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 7: That's a football exactly.

761
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: But at least I mean look, AFC saw that two

762
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: teams in the playoffs. Yeah, so yes, you know that's

763
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: more than the ACC. Oh no, the ACC did get

764
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: one into the college football playoffs.

765
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: They got one. I forgot there. He did get Miami.

766
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: JP also do all this national radio. What was the

767
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: best game you called this year on national radio? College football?

768
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 7: Oh, college football? There were a couple.

769
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 8: Week one, we were down in Miami and Notre Dame

770
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 8: Miami went down to the wire field goal with the

771
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 8: end from a transfer kicker who had never made one

772
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 8: pass like thirty eight yards in Florida Atlantic and he

773
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 8: hit the forty something yard to win it. And Ruben

774
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 8: Bain went off in that game. He had an interception.

775
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 8: The pass rush all game long and he had it

776
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 8: was like a tipball outside the numbers and he runs

777
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 8: to the football and he's there on the deflection, and

778
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 8: you know, three hundred pounds of human catching an interception

779
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 8: and running down the sideline. It's like, what is he

780
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 8: doing out there? That's when your eyes open. That was

781
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 8: cool to see. We also had the Iron Bowl. Alabama

782
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 8: rallied and drove the field at Auburn to win that game,

783
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 8: which was a remarkable always a remarkable environment. So those

784
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 8: are the two best college games.

785
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, JP, you talked about Etn as a free agent.

786
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: It feels like he's on the way out. Patrick Maholmes

787
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: following him on Twitter, by the.

788
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: Way, so they're now one of those So I guess

789
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 2: he's going to the Chiefs at that point. What are

790
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: the needs for the Jags. We talked about this a

791
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: little bit at dinner last night. Talked about corners right back. Now,

792
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 2: maybe you.

793
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: Got Tooton, you got Allen. I like that duo.

794
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 2: When they drafted them, I was not real happy because

795
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: I fell out that the Quinn was one of the

796
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: most slept on running backs there was Tuton.

797
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: We know it's got the speed. What are the needs

798
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: for the Jags going to twenty six?

799
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 7: You know it's funny you're talking about running backs.

800
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 8: We didn't really see his speed breakout until the last

801
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 8: couple of weeks of the season. He was running over

802
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 8: guys like he was between the tackles, hard nosed running back,

803
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 8: which I didn't quite expect because you heard about his

804
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 8: four to three speed and all this stuff. He didn't

805
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 8: really break it open until very late. And Laquin Allen

806
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 8: is like the toughest guy on the block. He's the

807
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 8: guy who want to take in the alley with you,

808
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 8: and he passed protection and all those I mean, he

809
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 8: does not care, like he's in Max Crosby's face, like

810
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 8: chirping at him, what are you doing, rookie, give me

811
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 8: a break? But he can get under guy's skin and that.

812
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 7: That was a key.

813
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 8: Running back is gonna be big if Etn is not back,

814
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 8: which it just doesn't feel like there's enough money on

815
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 8: the table for that, and I think there's some questions

816
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 8: about his consistency between the tackles, great outside, great in

817
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 8: the you know, the wide passing game, and likes to

818
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 8: bounce it out and all that. But you're gonna pay

819
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 8: ten to twelve whatever it is for running back a year,

820
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 8: you need to have more than that. And that's my opinion.

821
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 8: And then the other one is linebacker. What are they

822
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 8: gonna do with Devin Lloyd is not back, which he's

823
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 8: depending free agent as well, and that's gonna be a

824
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,959
Speaker 8: lot of money really for one year of production.

825
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, j.

826
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: The count when you can, No.

827
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 8: You can always get more cornerbacks because we know how

828
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 8: those guys went down. But they also have Ransaw coming

829
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 8: back where they drafted last year at safety. He was

830
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 8: injured in training camp, didn't play. Travis Hunter should be

831
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 8: healthy and back. They'll they'll put him on defense mainly

832
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 8: next year. It feels like, so those are two answers

833
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 8: that they feel they have on the shelf.

834
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 3: Okay, So schedule wise, the Texans play the Jags in

835
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 3: North Florida.

836
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 6: Has the London game been announced? Not an opponent, right?

837
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 7: I think it's soon.

838
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 8: I think it's because up still going to I think

839
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 8: they announced the Munich game earlier today. Yes, Lions, Lions

840
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 8: are in. I think the Bucks are playing that, I believe.

841
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's.

842
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: Won't the Texans because we don't play the Lions at all,

843
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 3: so that's good.

844
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 8: And then I'm gonna guess it's probably this week they'll

845
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 8: announce the London games or opponents or or whatever. I

846
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 8: think the Jags are going to play a couple, all right,

847
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 8: So playing at home? What is the stadium situation? Because

848
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 8: I know massive overhaul, So what are we looking at here?

849
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 8: The Titans that opens in twenty seven?

850
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 3: Correct? We know the Bills open this year. Trying to

851
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: keep track of all this stuff. The Jags though, tell

852
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 3: me JP Jags new stadium. Well, same stadium, renovated for the.

853
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 6: Seventeenth time in its history or something.

854
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, it opens in twenty twenty eight, So this coming

855
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 8: season there will be thirty eight thousand seats Lower Bowl only.

856
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: Wow.

857
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 8: And then in twenty seven they will play elsewhere, most

858
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 8: likely in Orlando at Camping World, and then probably a

859
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 8: couple in London that year as well. In twenty seven,

860
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 8: and then stadium is open for business in twenty twenty eight,

861
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 8: the concourse will be about three times as wide as

862
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 8: it is now.

863
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 7: Wow.

864
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 8: Everything inside will be totally renovated. They'll have suite level

865
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 8: on the field, like a lot of these new places

866
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 8: have now, or premium spaces. Capacity will come down a

867
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 8: little bit. It's in like the mid to high sixties.

868
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 8: Now it's like sixty eight, probably about sixty two.

869
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 3: You have some of those areas now, though you did

870
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: do in the club level midway up some slub areas.

871
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 6: Swimming pools, yes or no.

872
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 7: I think they're staying.

873
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 6: Yes, they should stay.

874
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 8: Yes, and technically they are spa lounges. What's something.

875
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: It's not the swimming.

876
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 3: There's some kind of law because you can't say swimming

877
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 3: or pool pool imply something.

878
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 6: Listen, I've been up there. It's a small pool. It's

879
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 6: a pool. There's two pools, spa lounges, pond.

880
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 7: The pond is probably good for you.

881
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 3: Well, you know what I said once on the air

882
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: JP about those pools, because one had little kids in

883
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: it and one had like some kind of babes in it,

884
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: you know, like models or whatever.

885
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 6: I said.

886
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: One of them looks murkier than the other. The one

887
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: with the kids. I wonder why anyway, because you can

888
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: see the water front. Yeah, anyway, you have to be there.

889
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 3: But it'll be a nice place. When they open it.

890
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 8: Up, it'll be roof opening your corners. So yeah, it's

891
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 8: it'll it'll alleviate the heat issue in September, in August

892
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 8: in the preseason games.

893
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: No more directions, one more for you September and Week

894
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: three in Jacksonville is salty. We've done that two the

895
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: last three years, and that is salty.

896
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

897
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 3: Tell me give me the Chamber of Commerce elevator pitch

898
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 3: for Jacksonville right now as a place to visit JP

899
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 3: visitors in Houston. I know you live there, but I

900
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: want to hear his version of it to visit.

901
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like a long weekend.

902
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, go for it.

903
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 8: Some of the best golf courses in the country, that's correct,

904
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 8: including Sawgrass, but there are a lot of other public

905
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 8: ones that are nearby that are incredible. They're in Saint Augustine.

906
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 8: The whole area. Beaches are not as crowded as everywhere

907
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 8: else in Florida. You know, the Panhandle beaches get crowded.

908
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 8: Dustin Fort Walton, Pensacola obviously down South, totally different vibe.

909
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 8: It's easy to get around on the beaches in North Florida.

910
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 8: And if you like fishing on the river, we got

911
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 8: both kinds of fishing. We got freshwater, we've got salt water.

912
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 8: We've got great weather most of the year. It was

913
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 8: freezing below freezing overnight from about three days in a

914
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 8: row a couple of weeks ago, and that's about all

915
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 8: we're gonna get. So the weather is always fantastic.

916
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 6: Like Houston really in that way.

917
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: So that's why you should tell people we're in the

918
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: same similar latitude line.

919
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: So you got it. There were a lot of similarities.

920
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 8: There's a lot of growth south of town in Saint

921
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 8: John's County, just north of Saint Augustine. There's been a

922
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 8: lot of houses being built down there, and it's an

923
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 8: easy commute. Traffic's not crazy, and yeah, it's a great

924
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 8: place to live. No state income tax either, Y know

925
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 8: about that.

926
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know for the weekend and hanging the beach,

927
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: it's a good thing.

928
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: Like just going down hanging the beach, eat good dinner.

929
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: You could see food come back.

930
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 3: I've played the seventeenth once and I did make it

931
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 3: out to the Green, but I three putted.

932
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's Sawgrass JP. Thanks so much for joining us.

933
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 6: We appreciate you to see you guys.

934
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate you. We'll talk to you again soon.

935
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 2: Even without the Jacksonville contingent here, Jacksonville has dominated the news.

936
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: But they will play two games in London. It was

937
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: announced today. So my guess is they'll play back to

938
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 2: back weeks in London. They'll play one at Tottenham, they'll

939
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 2: play one at Wembley. Now, the one at Tottenham they

940
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: will be the visiting team. The one at Wembley they'll

941
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: be the home team. So there's still a chance, still

942
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: a chance the Texans could play the Jaguars over in Wembley. Now,

943
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 2: we have been at the Combine.

944
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: Newers years and the year.

945
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: We ended up going to Wembley to play the Jags,

946
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 2: we found out that here at the Combine it got

947
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: to be kind of known amongst the Jaguars people.

948
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: They kind of shared it with us.

949
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 2: Now, I will say there was a couple of years

950
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: ago we were supposed to go to London to play

951
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: the Vikings.

952
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: The Vikings people are like.

953
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: Hey man, we'll see you guys in London, and then

954
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: it didn't happen. We ended up playing in Minneapolis and

955
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: got smoked that day in twenty twenty four, So don't

956
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: know we could be that particular team. The Commanders were

957
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: announced as one of the overseas teams as well, so

958
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: we have one opportunity left now. We said this off

959
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: the air with both JP. Mark and I were talking

960
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: and I said, look, it is a fatal compfully to

961
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 2: me that if, especially if we're not that team that

962
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 2: goes to Tottenham, then at twenty twenty seven, when we

963
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 2: get back to having the nine games, that one of

964
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 2: those will we will be the home team down in

965
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 2: Mexico City.

966
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: Just my hunch, that's what I think. But you know,

967
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: we'll throw it out there.

968
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: But the Jags will announce today we'll play two games

969
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: in London back to back.

970
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: Kind of like the Vikings.

971
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 7: Did.

972
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 2: Talk to my buddy Paul Allen about that and we

973
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: talk about it on the air with him, but they

974
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: weren't Dublin then they were in London, and he said

975
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: it just got long, and that's what the Jags have

976
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 2: to do.

977
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: It just gets long being over there, so they'll have

978
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: to put up with that.

979
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: That news announced that Jags will play two games in London,

980
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 2: one at Tottenham, one at Wembley. Opponents to be determined,

981
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: but there's still one final ping pong ball that's got

982
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 2: to be chosen out.

983
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: Is that the Texans. We'll find out uh later in

984
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: the week.

985
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: All right, it's go around the NFL with playing in

986
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: news happening, especially at the Combine.

987
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: We'll touch on all that next right here in Texas Access.

988
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: What's up and everybody, welcome back to this Wednesday at

989
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: issue of Texans all Access, our last segment before we

990
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: turn it over to Area forty five. As we are

991
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: here in Indianapolis, Indiana. Workouts at the Combine start Thursday,

992
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 2: So Thursday the workouts start happening, and this year it's flip,

993
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 2: so it's gonna end up being d line and linebackers

994
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: on Thursday. So there're gonna be some good times put

995
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: up today at the Combine, that being Wednesday. Rvel Reese

996
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 2: stu up and said, yep, doing everything, Sunny Styles is

997
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: teammade Ohio State doing everything, and those two are gonna

998
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: put up some flashy numbers. RVL Reese six three and

999
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: a half, six four two forty inside outside, he said

1000
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: today he wants to be an edge rusher, which I get.

1001
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: I think he's as a combo player as good as

1002
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 2: it gets, I think is an edge rusher. Only he's

1003
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: got some room to grow. But that's an athlete you're

1004
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 2: talking about. He's gonna definitely run the four four and

1005
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: she's gonna be one to watch.

1006
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: Now.

1007
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: He might be going by Vell Reese by this time,

1008
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 2: because that's what little Placard said, Vell Reese.

1009
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: But either way, Vell Reese, o'hiuse state sunny styles.

1010
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: They will be working out in full everything at the combine,

1011
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: as will Jeremiah Love. But it starts on Thursday, nine

1012
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 2: am Eastern eight. If you're into that sort of thing,

1013
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: I know people are like, you're.

1014
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 7: Such a dork.

1015
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: You go watch people run and stretch and like, yeah,

1016
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: I'm dork. I don't care. Doesn't bother me at all.

1017
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 2: In the earlier segment, I mentioned the Jacksonville Jaguars will

1018
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 2: be going over to London twice. I should say this.

1019
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: They're going over there once. They're playing over there twice.

1020
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: Also going over to London will be the Washington Commanders.

1021
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 2: They will be the two participating teams for the twenty

1022
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 2: twenty six NFL London Games Games will be played at

1023
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: Toddam Howsford Stadium. Jaguars will also go to Wembley, so

1024
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: they will.

1025
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 1: Go over there.

1026
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: They will play the back to back as I mentioned earlier,

1027
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: as the Vikings did last year. The Vikings played in Dublin,

1028
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: then they played in Tottenham. Jaguars will play in Hotspur

1029
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 2: Tottham Hotspur and then playing Wembley.

1030
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what or they'll be in.

1031
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: There's still a chance with that game at Wembley that'll

1032
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 2: be at Jaguars home game that that ends up.

1033
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 1: Being the Texans. A chance. I say that because our

1034
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: engineer for road broadcaster, iarn Ray Bold is watching it

1035
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: like a hawk.

1036
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 2: It could be the Texans, but usually we find that

1037
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: stuff out at the Combine.

1038
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: Didn't really know anything at the time.

1039
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Vikings, they will explore every opportunity for

1040
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: a quarterback. JJ McCarthy's still in the mix, but they're

1041
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: gonna look at everything imaginable at quarterback, Vikings Executive vice

1042
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: president Football Ops Rob Razinski said Tuesday at the Combine,

1043
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 2: what we do know is we need a level baseline

1044
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 2: quarterback play for us to be effective. A lot of

1045
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 2: this is has been JJ in an unfortunate situation with

1046
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: some of the injuries and things he's dealt with. But

1047
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna explore opportunity. Does that mean Kirk Cousins goes

1048
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 2: back to Minnesota? That would get all kinds of interesting.

1049
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 2: And I bring up Kirk Cousins because he is to

1050
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 2: be released on the first day of the new league year.

1051
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 2: New gm ian Cunningham spoke to the assembled masses and said, look,

1052
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: that's only fair. March thirteenth was the drop dead date

1053
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: where they had to make a decision on Kirk Cousins.

1054
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 2: They're gonna make it earlier to allow Kirk to get

1055
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: out there in free agency. See what's available. Kirk Cousins

1056
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: gonna be available to a number of teams. Now, see

1057
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 2: a bridge starter at this point is the guy you

1058
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 2: give two three years too? I would go that far.

1059
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: I think he ends up being a bridge quarterback. Maybe

1060
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 2: that is the right situation for him in Minnesota. He

1061
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: goes back to O'Connell. He kind of leads the way

1062
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: for JJ, shows him how it's done. JJ gets a

1063
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: chance to step back, stay healthy. Watch Kirk.

1064
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1065
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: Maybe Kirk is, you know, just ends up being kind

1066
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: of that voice in JJ's Ears. They go forward with

1067
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: the Vikings, gonna be looking at every opportunity and the

1068
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: Falcons no longer the home of Kirk Cousins.

1069
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for the show.

1070
