0:32
Speaker 1: by Fields Auto Group. We are back at work today
0:35
Speaker 1: and okay from her grateful it's a couple of days.
0:40
Speaker 1: I was ready to come back Tuesday morning. I was
0:42
Speaker 1: so appard watching this thing go. I heard an old uh,
0:46
Speaker 1: an old timer out at the beach in line at Publix,
0:49
Speaker 1: UH tell the cashier that it was it felt like
0:52
Speaker 1: he was being stalked by a turtle. Basically, yeah, I
0:55
Speaker 1: mean it was five turtle. It was painful too, And
0:59
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I feel bad now saying that
1:01
Speaker 1: because of what the people in the Bahamas. Our prayers
1:03
Speaker 1: are with them. What we went through waiting and watching
1:07
Speaker 1: and then yesterday was just it was, you know, it
1:09
Speaker 1: just kissed us as it went by, for which were
1:12
Speaker 1: very grateful and what the people in South Carolina and
1:14
Speaker 1: North Carolina are about to go through because it's real restrengthened.
1:17
Speaker 1: It's a Category three now. So um, I didn't when
1:21
Speaker 1: I stay. It's painful and it's tongue in cheek. And
1:22
Speaker 1: know a lot of you who are out there and
1:23
Speaker 1: endured the same thing. It's just when is this coming?
1:26
Speaker 1: We've prepared for it. Um, let's go. Let's get back
1:29
Speaker 1: to football. And you hope that the guys on the
1:31
Speaker 1: other side of the hallway feel the exact same way
1:33
Speaker 1: that that they weren't just sitting around doing nothing, that
1:36
Speaker 1: they were stretching or on their exercise bike. And we
1:38
Speaker 1: just and I'm sure Doug Moron said the other day,
1:40
Speaker 1: you know they had ways to stay in touch. You
1:42
Speaker 1: can't just sit still though. You can't if you sat
1:45
Speaker 1: on the couch or if you just wandered around aimlessly.
1:48
Speaker 1: You don't have a pantry, do you. I re organized.
1:53
Speaker 1: I bet you didn't think you're going to reorganize your
1:55
Speaker 1: pantry week one. And here's how long it was. Here's
1:58
Speaker 1: how long the last couple of days were. When I
2:01
Speaker 1: was done with the pantry, which was a big task.
2:05
Speaker 1: You know, we turned onto a closet and then we're
2:07
Speaker 1: done with that closet. Well, let's go to another closet.
2:09
Speaker 1: How many closets do we have? At some point? What
2:12
Speaker 1: do we do? What are we doing with all? It's
2:13
Speaker 1: like a midlife crisis. How did I accumulate all of
2:16
Speaker 1: this stuff? How do I get rid of it? Now? Goodwill? Right?
2:20
Speaker 1: Please come and take some of this crap away? So please,
2:23
Speaker 1: let's get Let's get back to football. But in all seriousness,
2:27
Speaker 1: with prayers for the people in the Mohammas today because
2:30
Speaker 1: that is a tragic scene and a lot of friends
2:33
Speaker 1: and neighbors who spend time over there have friends and
2:36
Speaker 1: people that they've got to know from many trips and
2:39
Speaker 1: they've talked to them and it feels as if that's
2:43
Speaker 1: their Katrina. And we all know how Katrina reshaped life
2:47
Speaker 1: in Louisiana. Um, So prayers to those, prayers with them.
2:51
Speaker 1: But back to football, back all right? Big thing one
2:54
Speaker 1: is hurricane plan back in the building today at noon
2:56
Speaker 1: for Jaguars players and coaches back to practice after saying
3:00
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday, and that would leave some Jaguars fans
3:03
Speaker 1: to panic that they didn't practice that they weren't working,
3:06
Speaker 1: but Doug Brown says, not Tory. So all the players
3:09
Speaker 1: have their iPad. So with the technology the way it
3:12
Speaker 1: is today, um, you know, there's a lot going on
3:15
Speaker 1: for what we're gonna be able to push out even
3:17
Speaker 1: though we're you know, we're separated, you know, as coaches
3:20
Speaker 1: and and a team. So that's already, that's that, that's
3:23
Speaker 1: all in the works. Big thing too is personality. Plus,
3:27
Speaker 1: if the defense stays as talented as we think it is,
3:29
Speaker 1: it's going to remain the personality of this team. But
3:32
Speaker 1: I have a Super Bowl m v P at quarterbacks.
3:34
Speaker 1: The question is when will the offense catch up to
3:37
Speaker 1: the defense. And the biggest question is can they catch
3:40
Speaker 1: up to the defense? And big Thing three is meaningless. Brian,
3:43
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did the same throughout this two week
3:46
Speaker 1: somewhat break. You read a lot, you watched a lot
3:48
Speaker 1: about this game, the game preview. No one in the
3:51
Speaker 1: national media except Maurice Jones Drew on NFL Network has
3:55
Speaker 1: picked the Jaguars to win this game. But big thing
3:57
Speaker 1: three is it's meaningless. These polls and prediction and they
4:00
Speaker 1: don't mean anything on Sunday when these two teams take
4:02
Speaker 1: the field, you know, and as an old timer now,
4:06
Speaker 1: um I say that, yeah, sort of tongue in cheek
4:09
Speaker 1: compared to you everyone's old timer. Um, but everything's about
4:14
Speaker 1: lists now drives me crazy at the time. Top five this, in,
4:17
Speaker 1: top five that. And they're trying to use analytics, you know,
4:20
Speaker 1: like it's the stock market and to forecast wins and loss.
4:25
Speaker 1: All due respect to Tony Khan and the analytics department here,
4:29
Speaker 1: how do you predict based on how do you predict
4:32
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in November when you don't know who's
4:33
Speaker 1: health you know what I mean, I get it. It's
4:36
Speaker 1: all mathematical models. Throw it all out. The beautiful part
4:39
Speaker 1: about the NFL in a supposed to even college football
4:44
Speaker 1: is that we do it on the field, right, there's
4:46
Speaker 1: no poll that's set up, and now you've got to
4:48
Speaker 1: overcome other teams in the poll or you're not in
4:51
Speaker 1: a Power five conference, so you don't have a you know,
4:53
Speaker 1: you're not. You CF who didn't get a fair shake,
4:56
Speaker 1: didn't get a fair shake, right, Dave never got a
4:59
Speaker 1: fair shake now, old champs. Sorry, I couldn't help it.
5:03
Speaker 1: You get my point. All of that's out the window
5:06
Speaker 1: now it's what's beautiful about the competition in the National
5:08
Speaker 1: Football League is that Albert Brier's opinion right, or Ian
5:13
Speaker 1: Rappaport or or um. There's just so many names, right,
5:18
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter Peter King thinks anymore.
5:20
Speaker 1: Now go play and we'll see power polls. Hate them.
5:24
Speaker 1: I know why they do them because it's click click, click,
5:27
Speaker 1: click click. They mean nothing. I mean nothing at all,
5:30
Speaker 1: But people like to go to them every week when
5:32
Speaker 1: their teams winning, and when their teams not, they turn
5:33
Speaker 1: it off. Throw it all out. It means nothing, right,
5:36
Speaker 1: am I the grumpy old man? Yet throw it all out,
5:38
Speaker 1: it means nothing. Now let's play. Now we find out.
5:41
Speaker 1: So no one thinks that the Jaguars are much better
5:44
Speaker 1: than eight and eight other than you said, Maurice Jodes
5:45
Speaker 1: Drew right, and yeah he's a home let's just say
5:49
Speaker 1: like it is. I love you, Maurice, but he's just
5:52
Speaker 1: most people are looking at well, the defense is great,
5:54
Speaker 1: but the offense only average fifteen points? How much better
5:57
Speaker 1: are they with Nick Foles? Can they get the two
5:59
Speaker 1: or twenty three? A lot of money, right, there's a
6:01
Speaker 1: lot of unknown, So people just immediately go we they
6:03
Speaker 1: can't be any good. Right. Meanwhile, Jacoby Brisatt, the last
6:06
Speaker 1: time we saw him, he was terrible. All of a
6:09
Speaker 1: sudden cold on. He's gonna take him the Super Bowl, right,
6:12
Speaker 1: So it's just biases built in here or there. Forget
6:15
Speaker 1: your biased my bias the people in Indianapolis, Tennessee, Houston,
6:19
Speaker 1: let's play. That's what I love about it. What I
6:22
Speaker 1: want to go back to is big thing one, and
6:25
Speaker 1: that's the hurricane plan. Over the years, we've endured some
6:28
Speaker 1: hurricanes here various parts of August September, and never have
6:33
Speaker 1: I seen never them cancel a full day of practice
6:38
Speaker 1: during the regular season. Never. Now it's a function obviously
6:41
Speaker 1: of its week one. They have been working on Kansas
6:45
Speaker 1: City for two weeks. This has been an ongoing process.
6:49
Speaker 1: The coaches have been putting that in place. The players
6:52
Speaker 1: have been introduced to the concepts of the game plan.
6:54
Speaker 1: So losing a day of practice on the surface seems horrid.
6:59
Speaker 1: How do you do this? You're behind, It's Kansas City
7:01
Speaker 1: coming in here and they're an excellent football team. How
7:05
Speaker 1: do you do it? Well, You've got this ability because
7:08
Speaker 1: you've been working on this, and because you're never out
7:12
Speaker 1: of touch me, You and I were in connection about
7:13
Speaker 1: when we were going to get back on the air
7:15
Speaker 1: and what we might do and what we might talk about.
7:17
Speaker 1: So the coaches obviously have that at their dispose, and
7:19
Speaker 1: probably more technology than you and I have for them
7:22
Speaker 1: to be able to coordinate and communicate. Don't worry about
7:25
Speaker 1: any of that. It's just my thought is I hope
7:29
Speaker 1: they were not sitting still. I hope the guys were
7:31
Speaker 1: not sitting down too much because I was going stir crazy.
7:36
Speaker 1: I needed things to do. I said, I told you
7:38
Speaker 1: clean the pantry, right, Okay. So that's the issue to
7:43
Speaker 1: me is they got to get back on that practice
7:44
Speaker 1: field today tomorrow that you know, they've got to shake
7:47
Speaker 1: all that out and be ready to go. It's a
7:49
Speaker 1: bit of a challenge. Um, not as big a challenge
7:52
Speaker 1: I think as the overwhelming heat and humidity could be
7:55
Speaker 1: on opening day here, but it's still a challenge. I
7:57
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is they got to get the
7:59
Speaker 1: excitement of week one because right now, at least not
8:02
Speaker 1: right now this moment, it doesn't feel like week one yet.
8:04
Speaker 1: I think it's going to take into them getting on
8:06
Speaker 1: the field this afternoon, and let's be honest, it's Week
8:09
Speaker 1: one of the twenty fifth season. There, you know, you've
8:12
Speaker 1: got Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes, who's the darling of
8:15
Speaker 1: the NFL, the m v P and deserves it, deserves
8:18
Speaker 1: all the ecuades. The people in Kansas City tell me
8:20
Speaker 1: he is every bit as good a person as he
8:23
Speaker 1: is a player. I understand it. It feels flat, right,
8:26
Speaker 1: it feels faint because the last couple of days people
8:29
Speaker 1: didn't like this. Where is this dorm going? Right? Okay, well,
8:33
Speaker 1: the storm is coming here on Sunday. It's the Chief's
8:35
Speaker 1: offense that can score points in bunch of the storm
8:38
Speaker 1: is coming here, which brings us to the other big thing,
8:41
Speaker 1: and that is overwhelmingly if you talk to people around
8:45
Speaker 1: the league, there first thought about the Jaguars is not
8:48
Speaker 1: Nick Foles Super Bowl m v P, the biggest free
8:51
Speaker 1: agent acquisition in the history of the franchise and the
8:54
Speaker 1: biggest move of a free agent in the league last year.
8:58
Speaker 1: It's not there. It's the defense. It's Jalen Ramsey and
9:02
Speaker 1: that's the guy that came in the brains truck right right.
9:04
Speaker 1: That's the defense. This defense and John said it the
9:08
Speaker 1: other day might be better than it was two years
9:12
Speaker 1: ago might be more complete because now you've got Josh Allen,
9:15
Speaker 1: who is a significantly better football player than Dante Fowler Jr.
9:19
Speaker 1: And we saw that in the minami. You can see
9:22
Speaker 1: you can tell has his head screwed on straight, which
9:25
Speaker 1: Dante really never did. So now you've got this, You've
9:29
Speaker 1: got this talent based on this side that's ready to go.
9:33
Speaker 1: And the offensive side we don't know enough about yet
9:37
Speaker 1: because we didn't see much of Nick Pole. Now they
9:38
Speaker 1: know a little more because they saw him on the
9:40
Speaker 1: practice field. All those reps that Doug Moron talked about
9:42
Speaker 1: through the month of August, they got extra reps on
9:44
Speaker 1: the practice field to overcome what they didn't get on
9:47
Speaker 1: the game field during the preseason. We'll see. Uh, If
9:51
Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette is healthy and is motivated as he
9:54
Speaker 1: seems to be, and you spend time with him in
9:56
Speaker 1: New Orleans and we all sort of marveled his preparation
9:59
Speaker 1: in August, you have a shot. If Cam Robinson is healthy,
10:03
Speaker 1: you have a better shot. Um you know, when is
10:07
Speaker 1: Josh Oliver going to play? We don't know, didn't practice.
10:10
Speaker 1: Of course, the injury report this week is is a projection,
10:14
Speaker 1: right He wouldn't have practiced yesterday. I doubt he plays
10:17
Speaker 1: this week. I don't know how long it will take. Um. Well,
10:20
Speaker 1: that gives you an element there, what Chris Conley do.
10:23
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a little while. It's gonna take a
10:25
Speaker 1: little while, right, But when you read all those predictions,
10:27
Speaker 1: you can't blame what people are thinking because there is
10:30
Speaker 1: so much unknown with the offense. I read into it
10:33
Speaker 1: sometimes and I read opinions and and and what they're
10:36
Speaker 1: based on, because a good opinion will give you some
10:38
Speaker 1: basis for their their facts, and it just sound very deep.
10:42
Speaker 1: People don't This isn't new to people who followed this franchise.
10:46
Speaker 1: People don't dig in on this. They go, oh, Jacksonville.
10:49
Speaker 1: In the early years when the Jaguars were good for
10:52
Speaker 1: their first five years, people went, oh, Jacksonville. But they
10:54
Speaker 1: still don't spend it much time on it now because
10:56
Speaker 1: they haven't been all that good all that often. People
10:58
Speaker 1: go jack They don't's been a whole lot of time.
11:01
Speaker 1: There are players that they know they'd rather focus on
11:03
Speaker 1: the Bears, right, Okay, So they just don't get it.
11:08
Speaker 1: They just don't understand everything that's going on down here.
11:11
Speaker 1: And maybe we don't either. We'll find out. That's what
11:13
Speaker 1: Sunday's about. The chip on the shoulder for the Jaguars again,
11:17
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. No, when you're the perennial little guy,

13:49
Speaker 1: need to scoreboard. Screw it up. If that's all you do, kid,
13:53

13:55
Speaker 1: wasn't working and you were sitting down, right, You're sitting down.
13:59
Speaker 1: You would thought I was saying Titans hope that the
14:03
Speaker 1: players were not sitting down all right. South A lot
14:07
Speaker 1: of trades, injuries, so much going on with this division.
14:11
Speaker 1: Really just in the past two weeks. It seems like,
14:13
Speaker 1: well that's because Bill O'Brien, right, I mean two weeks
14:16
Speaker 1: you go back to the the Andrew Luck retirement announcement,
14:19
Speaker 1: which we have talked about ad nausea. Yeah, it does feel, boy,
14:24
Speaker 1: August can really August feels when you when you go back.
14:27
Speaker 1: Sometimes August can be like Dorian right, I can just
14:30
Speaker 1: drag on. When does the regular season get here? Um?
14:35
Speaker 1: But that does feel a long time ago. But you
14:38
Speaker 1: had a Texans team that's the defending a f C
14:41
Speaker 1: South Champs, and yet it didn't feel like they were
14:44
Speaker 1: didn't feel like they were in a position to be
14:46
Speaker 1: able to defend it even without Andrew Luck and their
14:50
Speaker 1: offensive line has you know, we saw two years ago,
14:53
Speaker 1: it hasn't gotten markedly better. And with a quarterback who
14:57
Speaker 1: had taken the abuse that on Watson had taken, they
15:01
Speaker 1: had to do something. And then you had Jadeveon Clowney.
15:05
Speaker 1: I think what you have here is you have a
15:07
Speaker 1: head coach who's also the general manager. Right now, I
15:09
Speaker 1: think that's a formula for disaster. Right not everyone, not
15:12
Speaker 1: everyone could do what Bill Belichick does and manage the
15:15
Speaker 1: entire roster. And it appears that they overplayed their hand
15:19
Speaker 1: with Jadeveon Clowney and he got to a point that
15:22
Speaker 1: he could dig in his heels and not want to report.
15:25
Speaker 1: Of course, he didn't have to sign the franchise tag
15:28
Speaker 1: at all. You know, they doesn't have a contract, so
15:30
Speaker 1: they got pushed into a corner I think of their
15:32
Speaker 1: own making, and they had to trade him and they
15:35
Speaker 1: only got a third round pick. I mean, that's nothing.
15:38
Speaker 1: Consider Seattle. If Seattle doesn't resign him and he walks
15:42
Speaker 1: in free agency next year. Because they traded for him,
15:46
Speaker 1: they'll get that picked back as a compensatory for Jadeveon Clowney.
15:49
Speaker 1: So there's really no risk other than financial for the Seahawks,
15:52
Speaker 1: And they needed him anyway because their defense had over
15:55
Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons been taken apart. Right, So
15:59
Speaker 1: now they've got a glimit pass rushing threat and Clowney
16:03
Speaker 1: to me, I get it. People don't know that he's
16:06
Speaker 1: the consistent outside pass rusher. But I saw the guy
16:09
Speaker 1: walk on the field, and he's bigger than everyone else
16:12
Speaker 1: and longer than everyone else, and he wrecked the middle
16:14
Speaker 1: of the offensive line. Lock him into the piece on it.
16:17
Speaker 1: Tremendous players, just causes all kinds of destruction. So they
16:20
Speaker 1: lose that on defense, which means that it's all back
16:22
Speaker 1: on J. J. Watt Right, Whitney Merciless didn't look last
16:26
Speaker 1: year like he's still play right Okay, So that makes
16:29
Speaker 1: their defense and takes their defense down a notch. Now
16:32
Speaker 1: they trade for Laramie Tunsil. Tunsil is thought by many
16:36
Speaker 1: to be one of the best four or five left
16:39
Speaker 1: tackles in football. I can't I haven't watched him. I
16:42
Speaker 1: don't know. I remember when he came out of Ole
16:44
Speaker 1: Miss and I remember more than I remember that more
16:47
Speaker 1: than the mask, right, But I remember that he was
16:49
Speaker 1: thought to be one of the best players in the draft.
16:51
Speaker 1: So let's say he is one of the best five. Okay,
16:54
Speaker 1: at some point in the first month of the season,
16:56
Speaker 1: you hope he shows up your offensive line. But the
16:58
Speaker 1: offensive line still isn't told that good. And but the
17:02
Speaker 1: left tackle is really important because he protects the blind
17:04
Speaker 1: side of the quarterback. So are they better they're playing with?
17:08
Speaker 1: Who it running back? Yeah, there's something to see. I
17:13
Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson. I think he's a really nice player. Uh.
17:16
Speaker 1: And DeAndre Hopkins is one of the most difficult players
17:20
Speaker 1: in the league. But if you're the Jaguars, you're thinking,
17:21
Speaker 1: I got Ramsey, right, I'll put the best corner against
17:25
Speaker 1: the best receiver. If that's the case, I can neutralize that.
17:28
Speaker 1: So where are the Texans. That's the big question mark
17:31
Speaker 1: right now. They got worse on offense? Did they get
17:34
Speaker 1: better on offense? I think we get worse on defense.
17:37
Speaker 1: Did they get better on offense? We'll find out. We'll
17:39
Speaker 1: find out. The Colts they're counting on Jacoby Brissette. Their
17:44
Speaker 1: rosters better than it was two years ago when Brissette
17:46
Speaker 1: had to be the quarterback. Absolutely, uh that I understand.
17:50
Speaker 1: He negotiated himself, has a big arm, is a mobile guy.
17:55
Speaker 1: He's not injury luck, right, so it's totally different. Let's
17:59
Speaker 1: not kid ourselves. Luck is the kind of quarterback, the
18:01
Speaker 1: game changer that can make a player who is a
18:05
Speaker 1: good player, you know, a B player, a B plus player.
18:08
Speaker 1: He's that good. That's not Jacoby Present. He's not going
18:12
Speaker 1: to take a bunch of guys and make them significantly better. Um,
18:15
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to come with what they've got. Their
18:17
Speaker 1: offensive line is good. They showed last year that they
18:20
Speaker 1: can run the ball consistently, which I can't recall it
18:22
Speaker 1: Colts team since ed you and James being able to
18:24
Speaker 1: do um. Their defense, we'll see. We'll see what they've
18:29
Speaker 1: got on that side of the ball that's always sort
18:30
Speaker 1: of been their achilles heel. This is a team that
18:35
Speaker 1: could be you know what this team is. This is
18:37
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, right in a sense, this is the Jaguars. Right.
18:41
Speaker 1: We talked about a Jacksonville team that could be eight
18:44
Speaker 1: and eight or eleven and five, right. You know, this
18:47
Speaker 1: team has this team has a little broader spectrum because
18:50
Speaker 1: the quarterback with Andrew Luck. I mean, this is a
18:52
Speaker 1: ten and six team, right, you think that's the lowest um.
18:55
Speaker 1: But without Andrew Luck, it shows some vulnerabilities. The inning
19:00
Speaker 1: game isn't as good as it was last year because
19:02
Speaker 1: you don't have Andrew Luck, and we know that the
19:04
Speaker 1: passing game isn't quite as good. And the defense can't
19:07
Speaker 1: take as many chances because they don't have Andrew Luck
19:09
Speaker 1: to bail them out like he's done so many times.
19:11
Speaker 1: So it's not just oh, well, they're just missing Andrew Luck.
19:13
Speaker 1: So Brissette comes in and he'll do that. It's much
19:16
Speaker 1: more complicated. You know, they could be six and ten,
19:19
Speaker 1: they could be ten at six. You tell me exactly.
19:23
Speaker 1: And there are people on the national side who say, oh,
19:26
Speaker 1: i've I was in camp and I watched him throw
19:28
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Right, those are the same people who
19:31
Speaker 1: thought a couple of years ago that Jacoby Brissette was
19:33
Speaker 1: some sort of revelation. I watched him play twice the
19:36
Speaker 1: Jaguars played him. Yeah, okay, right, has some physical characteristics,
19:41
Speaker 1: but he's not locked, so let's not make that. You know, no,
19:44
Speaker 1: he's not It's surprising though, when you watch anything the
19:47
Speaker 1: Colts have been saying in the locker room. Everyone just
19:49
Speaker 1: seems so And I know they're supposed to say this, obviously,
19:52
Speaker 1: but I'm not supposed to be bought in and and
19:56
Speaker 1: and Brissette is evidently I don't know him. A terrific
20:01
Speaker 1: guy and someone that the players have confidence in. So
20:04
Speaker 1: it's not that they're supposed to say that. You're talking
20:07
Speaker 1: about going into the season, they're optimistic. They'd heard we're
20:09
Speaker 1: gonna do this, and we got this, We're gonna do this.
20:11
Speaker 1: They just weren't gonna let it all wash away on them.
20:14
Speaker 1: So they're, you know, a stiff upper lip, if you will.
20:17
Speaker 1: They've got talent. You know, they've done a nice job.
20:19
Speaker 1: Chris Ballatt has done a nice job of building that roster.
20:22
Speaker 1: But people who think that that's still a super Bowl
20:24
Speaker 1: contender with that Andrew Luck, I don't see it. Now.
20:28
Speaker 1: They could prove it. The defense could be better than
20:30
Speaker 1: I think it is. I don't know yet. Rock your Sin,
20:33
Speaker 1: their first round draft choice, has got to play like
20:35
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey for that defense to take the step that
20:38
Speaker 1: people think it has. Right, We'll see if you out yeah,
20:41
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see it now. The Tennessee Titans. Titans.
20:46
Speaker 1: The Titans the biggest news. They're still even though it's
20:50
Speaker 1: not new, that is the biggest That's a big blow.
20:53
Speaker 1: I mean, he is an All Pro caliber left tackle,
20:55
Speaker 1: and if you've never watched him, he's not Tony Boselli,
20:58
Speaker 1: so let's not make him that. But he's absolutely the
21:01
Speaker 1: heartbeat of that line. He's a nasty, dirty, aggressive player. Hey,
21:05
Speaker 1: it's not a nice game. I'd hate to play against him.
21:09
Speaker 1: I'd love to have him on my team. That's the
21:11
Speaker 1: way he is. Uh, he's the heartbeat that he sets
21:14
Speaker 1: the tempo for the way that they play football. He's
21:16
Speaker 1: gone from month right. Dennis Kelly is big six nine
21:21
Speaker 1: wide body, not the same player. So they're at a
21:24
Speaker 1: disadvantage their offensive line, especially here against the Jaguars on
21:28
Speaker 1: Thursday night, at a disadvantage without Taylor the one because
21:32
Speaker 1: Jack Conklin, the right tackle on the other side, he
21:34
Speaker 1: was All Pro, is a rookie a few years ago.
21:36
Speaker 1: Has not returned to for him. You know, he's had
21:38
Speaker 1: knee injuries, he's had a couple of different shoulder he's
21:41
Speaker 1: just not the same guy. You know this is a
21:45
Speaker 1: good team. You know, I say that they beat the
21:47
Speaker 1: Jaguars four straight times. Uh, but they have quarterback issues,
21:51
Speaker 1: they have offensive line issues in the first month of
21:53
Speaker 1: the season. Um. You know, they signed a thirty seven
21:57
Speaker 1: year old pass rusher to give them an umph on
22:00
Speaker 1: the pastor site, Harold Landry there second round pick last
22:05
Speaker 1: year out of Boston College. He could give them something. Um,
22:08
Speaker 1: but this is a team that again it kind of
22:09
Speaker 1: feels like it could be seven and nine, nine and
22:12
Speaker 1: seven and now division as a whole bunch of question marks. Yeah,
22:16
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks there. So which sets
22:19
Speaker 1: up this point perfectly. The Jaguars I think have the
22:23
Speaker 1: best defense in the division right that. The Texans could
22:27
Speaker 1: give you an argument for that, obviously, because I think
22:29
Speaker 1: they have the best overall player in J. J. Watt
22:32
Speaker 1: still without clown but without Clowney over there and Merciless,
22:35
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're not the same. So I think
22:37
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have the best overall defense in the division.
22:40
Speaker 1: Who's the best quarterback in the division right now? You
22:43
Speaker 1: tell me, um, you have Super Bowl MVP, but he
22:46
Speaker 1: hasn't proven in this division yet. Yeah, but he proved
22:49
Speaker 1: in the NFC East and you have DeShawn Watson, who
22:53
Speaker 1: is a terrific young player, the best skilled position player
22:56
Speaker 1: in the division, DeAndre Hopkins. I think that's fair to say. Yes, okay,
23:01
Speaker 1: so you probably give the edge to the Texans on offense,
23:03
Speaker 1: although their offensive line isn't very good. It's you know,
23:07
Speaker 1: here's the coin toss. Go get it, guys, it's right
23:09
Speaker 1: there for you. There's nobody out there that you can't
23:12
Speaker 1: beat here or there on any given Sunday. Go get it.
23:16
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is. I was on a phone
23:17
Speaker 1: call with ESPN games with yesterday and they asked, They said, oh, well,
23:20
Speaker 1: this game has to be the biggest of the season,
23:22
Speaker 1: right it's the Chiefs, And I said, actually, I don't
23:24
Speaker 1: think it is. I think it's Week three against the
23:26
Speaker 1: Titans that you have to win that game. Well, Week
23:29
Speaker 1: two and Week three or big because they're both in
23:30
Speaker 1: the division. They're both winnable games, right them. Uh, And
23:33
Speaker 1: I think Sunday is a winnable game. I think the
23:35
Speaker 1: heat humidity brings their offense down a notch and their defense,
23:40
Speaker 1: you know, has questions about it. So we'll see. Um.
23:44
Speaker 1: The biggest game is obviously the next one on the schedule.
23:46
Speaker 1: But the division is right there. Take it and taking
23:49
Speaker 1: advantage of the advantage you have with Taylor Lawn not
23:52
Speaker 1: being in that game week three, Go take it. It's
23:54
Speaker 1: right there all right when we come back. Some top

Speaker 1: off the football season Bears versus Packers. Brian you can

Speaker 1: speak on well, look, it's it's the hundred ninety nine
26:52
Speaker 1: meeting between those two. It's the oldest rivalry in the
26:55
Speaker 1: National Football League. It goes back to George Hallis and
26:59
Speaker 1: Vince Lombardi and Hallis and that there was a shot
27:02
Speaker 1: of them there. Hollie was sitting in Ralph Hayes Hunt
27:05
Speaker 1: mobile showroom. Hunt Mobile was a car um not that
27:09
Speaker 1: I ever saw one in when they formed the National
27:17
Speaker 1: Football League. It just it's the perfect game to start
27:21
Speaker 1: the hundredth season of professional football. And those two, you know,
27:26
Speaker 1: there are a couple of hours apart on the lake
27:30
Speaker 1: and you see some of the great names, the great
27:33
Speaker 1: Bears defenders, the great offensive players for the Packers, Um,
27:37
Speaker 1: but that shot of Alice and Lombardi, you know, two
27:41
Speaker 1: of the founding fathers of professional football. Um, it's I'm
27:46
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch. I got other things I gotta
27:48
Speaker 1: do tonight, but I will find time to sit there
27:50
Speaker 1: and watch football. And you before the show, we're talking
27:52
Speaker 1: about this Sunday being your five. Yeah, So Sunday is
27:59
Speaker 1: the five game in Jaguars history and that goes from
28:02
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio through the
28:08
Speaker 1: last game played here against the falcon is fine. So
28:12
Speaker 1: Sunday is game five hundred And why is that important?
28:16
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, in the twenty fifth season for
28:18
Speaker 1: opening dab, five hundred is kind of symbolic. And I forget.
28:21
Speaker 1: We went to Denver in December of the old Mile
28:26
Speaker 1: High Stadium and I walked into the Broncos broadcast booth
28:29
Speaker 1: and Larry Zimmer their long time got rested. So a
28:31
Speaker 1: long time play by play guy had a painting of
28:36
Speaker 1: him in the broadcast booth for his five hundred game.
28:39
Speaker 1: A fan had done it for him, and I remember thinking, wow,
28:43
Speaker 1: five hundred games. We were like twelve in at that point,
28:47
Speaker 1: you know, counting the preseason. You know, seventeen games in.
28:51
Speaker 1: At that point you're thinking so long and and and
28:56
Speaker 1: now thinking back over two previous seasons, big wins, crushing losses,
29:02
Speaker 1: you know, desperate seasons, exciting seasons like um, it's we
29:08
Speaker 1: should remind ourselves that this is the twenty five season.
29:12
Speaker 1: There was a time Ashland when people didn't think the
29:15
Speaker 1: Jaguars would be here ten seasons. L A was calling right.
29:19
Speaker 1: It was a big vacant market and honestly, they were
29:23
Speaker 1: struggling to sell tickets and sell sponsorships here at a
29:26
Speaker 1: point not too long ago that we don't remember it.
29:29
Speaker 1: So twenty five years is a massive celebration point. It's
29:33
Speaker 1: the five hundredth game for the Jaguars, and here against
29:37
Speaker 1: Kansas City happened to be my hometown, so it's meaningful
29:40
Speaker 1: for me on Sunday in many many ways. And I'm
29:42
Speaker 1: really excited. So now you feel like you're back to
29:45
Speaker 1: the excitement of regular season. I can see it almost.
29:47
Speaker 1: We have a long day today making up for yesterday.
29:51
Speaker 1: It's we've got a lot to get done, but yet
29:53
Speaker 1: it is starting to come back. Because five hundreds a
29:55
Speaker 1: huge number. And for Mike Perkins and Skip Richardson, who
29:58
Speaker 1: are the other two guys who have seen every one
30:00
Speaker 1: of the games live in a person. There's just three
30:01
Speaker 1: of us. Um, Yeah, Sunday will be meaningful. It would
30:05
Speaker 1: be an exciting day. This top tweet number two is
30:08
Speaker 1: also for you. James Palmer tweeted it out that Bill
30:11
Speaker 1: O'Brien came up with an idea. Oh I'm sorry, this
30:14
Speaker 1: is the wrong one. James palmard tweet that the only
30:18
Speaker 1: team last year to not to hold Patrick Mahomes to
30:21
Speaker 1: not a touchdown pass was the Jaguars. And you talk
30:24
Speaker 1: about what a great season he had, and we'll go
30:26
Speaker 1: back to that game last year against the Chiefs. It
30:28
Speaker 1: wasn't a good one, but that's an accoe. That's an
30:31
Speaker 1: accomplishment that not a lot of people talk about when
30:32
Speaker 1: you talk about that game, Well, we knew. Look, it
30:36
Speaker 1: felt like the Jaguars were crushed in Kansas City, and
30:38
Speaker 1: it was because of the four turnovers, and but the
30:42
Speaker 1: defense did a really solid job on Mahomes and they
30:45
Speaker 1: went down the field and scored in their opening possession,
30:47
Speaker 1: which we didn't think was possible. Again to this defense,
30:49
Speaker 1: but they pretty much kept him in check. They never
30:53
Speaker 1: let them get too far out in front and John
30:55
Speaker 1: alluded to this on Monday when we talked about it.
30:57
Speaker 1: The Jaguars defense did a nice job against Mahomes. He
31:00
Speaker 1: intercepted him a couple of times, and he hadn't been
31:01
Speaker 1: intercepted in the first four games, and he was off
31:03
Speaker 1: to a record pace. After what six touchdowns in San
31:07
Speaker 1: Diego on opening Day? They scored eight and thirty in
31:11
Speaker 1: their first five weeks. I mean, they're averaging more than
31:14
Speaker 1: thirty six points. Again, the Jaguars defense can slow them down.
31:18
Speaker 1: That that I don't have no doubt they can slow
31:21
Speaker 1: them down, and that that makes the point. The question
31:23
Speaker 1: mark is can the offense keep up? Again, there's that
31:25
Speaker 1: question mark around that. If the offense can score twenty five,
31:28
Speaker 1: the Jaguars win. I think the Jaguars defense can slow
31:31
Speaker 1: them down. I think the heat and humidity will It's
31:33
Speaker 1: going to be on the Jaguars running game to control
31:36
Speaker 1: the tempo and it's going to be on Nick Foles
31:40
Speaker 1: to convert in the red zone. If you do that,
31:42
Speaker 1: you beat the Chiefs, get a few third downs, go
31:44
Speaker 1: on your way. All that comes into it. But when
31:47
Speaker 1: you get into scoring position, which the Jaguars did last year,
31:50
Speaker 1: but they didn't convert well enough. If they get into
31:53
Speaker 1: that position and they're getting touched down, Hey, field goals
31:56
Speaker 1: doesn't cut it against the Chiefs. You're not going to
31:58
Speaker 1: beat Kansas City if you're settling for field goals. Absolutely.
32:01
Speaker 1: All right. Let's wrap up top tweets with field Yates,
32:04
Speaker 1: who tweeted out that this trade with the Jaguars was
32:06
Speaker 1: actually a big one within the new linebacker Austin Calitro
32:10
Speaker 1: from the Seahawks. Three teams wanted to claim him. He
32:13
Speaker 1: chose to become to the Jaguars because it was a
32:14
Speaker 1: top priority for him. It was really a good deal
32:17
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars because they actually got Joe Giles Harris,
32:19
Speaker 1: the linebacker back back on the practice squad. I know
32:22
Speaker 1: nothing about Calletro at all except that he is a
32:25
Speaker 1: veteran guy, former undrafted guy. I think he was with
32:27
Speaker 1: the Jets for time and then went out to Seattle. Um,
32:31
Speaker 1: you know you you like. They must think he's better.
32:35
Speaker 1: I know nothing about it, right, but must think he
32:37
Speaker 1: makes them better. We keep talking about the question marks
32:39
Speaker 1: at least on the defense great defense. When we talked
32:41
Speaker 1: about the question marks being at linebacker and safety, still
32:44
Speaker 1: doing work to develop that room well, and I don't
32:47
Speaker 1: discount Jody Camillis's involvement in this one as well. A
32:51
Speaker 1: guy like Calletro who comes into the league as an
32:54
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie and then stays for a couple of years
32:56
Speaker 1: does it because he performs on special teams. And Jody
32:59
Speaker 1: is always looking for that guy. You must have that
33:02
Speaker 1: guy who can come in when you need him and
33:04
Speaker 1: make the plan with special teams. Must be what Kaletro does. Jody,
33:08
Speaker 1: a hardworking man, never stops looking, won't stop long enough
33:12
Speaker 1: to tell you that he's working hard. He just goes
33:14

Speaker 1: Welcome back Jack's Drive Time Thursday morning, getting you ready
35:08
Speaker 1: for Jaguars versus Chiefs one o'clock Right here at the bank,
35:11
Speaker 1: brought to you by t I, a bank created to serve,
35:14
Speaker 1: built to perform. We have some questions about Sunday's game.
35:17
Speaker 1: We can't get past him. We've got to discuss them. Well, okay,
35:21
Speaker 1: so here's mine. Last year's season finale against the Texans.
35:26
Speaker 1: Jaguars put DJ Shark great coverage as the gunner essentially
35:30
Speaker 1: forces the return then to drop the ball. Jags recovered
35:33
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line. I knew right there, and then
35:35
Speaker 1: they're going to settle for a field goal. Right. That
35:37
Speaker 1: was what we knew about that offense. It was so
35:39
Speaker 1: ineffective at throwing the ball. Admit, the Texans could just
35:45
Speaker 1: stack against Leonard for Nett, who had not had a
35:47
Speaker 1: good year overdone. My question is can the Jaguars score
35:52
Speaker 1: when this defense and special teams gives them an opportunity
35:56
Speaker 1: to can they take advantage? And that's what fools should
35:58
Speaker 1: do for you. You know veteran quarterback Super Bowl m
36:01
Speaker 1: v P, A guy that had the complete confidence of
36:04
Speaker 1: the Eagles when Carson Wentz went down. Can he come
36:06
Speaker 1: in here with the cast of characters around him, it's
36:08
Speaker 1: not all him. Connolly has got to catch the ball.
36:10
Speaker 1: Where will Mark kis Lee be? Can they eventually get
36:13
Speaker 1: a tight end that contributes. Can they convert and score touchdowns?
36:16
Speaker 1: As we just said, you can't beat the Chiefs if
36:19
Speaker 1: it's field goal, field goal, field goal, no chance, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.
36:23
Speaker 1: I think this defense is gonna give him opportunities. Can
36:26
Speaker 1: the offense do something with those opportunities. Maybe not in
36:31
Speaker 1: Week one, I don't know, but so real soon early
36:34
Speaker 1: in September. They're going to have to be able to
36:36
Speaker 1: be consistent and convert. Right, And it's a question because
36:39
Speaker 1: you didn't see that a lot of times last season.
36:41
Speaker 1: I didn't see enough from them in August. I mean
36:44
Speaker 1: the offense with Gardner Minshew out there and and most
36:47
Speaker 1: of the backups. Let's be honest, we didn't see the starters.
36:50
Speaker 1: It didn't give you a lot of confidence in that.
36:51
Speaker 1: But that's not the team that's going to be out
36:54
Speaker 1: there Sunday. We saw a little bit of that from
36:56
Speaker 1: Nick Foles in Miami, but not nearly enough to go
36:58
Speaker 1: look at this right, we're still talking about what we
37:01
Speaker 1: hope you know, you hope, if you're a Jaguars fan,
37:03
Speaker 1: they've got this. You hope that what you saw is enough,
37:06
Speaker 1: because it's not a big enough sample for our eyes.
37:09
Speaker 1: We haven't seen what Doug Maron has talked about in
37:12
Speaker 1: terms of reps on the practice field to give you
37:14
Speaker 1: enough de bit of go done, it's done and be
37:17
Speaker 1: confident going in question. Hence the segment. My question is
37:22
Speaker 1: can the Jaguars linebackers do enough to stop Chiefs tight
37:24
Speaker 1: end Travis Kelsey? You have Leon Jacobs, Miles Jack, and
37:27
Speaker 1: Quincy Williams making his NFL debut. If you're the Chiefs,
37:30
Speaker 1: you're thinking, I gotta target that group without Talvin Smith
37:33
Speaker 1: Miles Jack being in the middle. I know nothing about
37:35
Speaker 1: Quincy Williams. I didn't see much from Leon Jacobs last year.
37:38
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is one of the best tight ends in
37:41
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Can that group do enough to
37:44
Speaker 1: stop up the middle and hold their own well? And
37:46
Speaker 1: you'll also include the safeties here and Rodney Harrison, who
37:49
Speaker 1: played in the big Nickel package a lot as a rookie,
37:51
Speaker 1: has exceptional length. You know, your tall, long arms, big hands,
37:56
Speaker 1: terrific athlete and somebody that I think that this the
37:59
Speaker 1: staff believe is going to be a very very good player.
38:03
Speaker 1: He'll be involved in that as well. But you know,
38:05
Speaker 1: I can't say his so many weapons that they throw
38:08
Speaker 1: at you, you know. And it's not just the Tyreek
38:10
Speaker 1: Kills of the world and the Travis Kelsey's of the world. Um,
38:15
Speaker 1: you know, They've they've got some guys that they can
38:17
Speaker 1: make you look foolish with. So you've got to be
38:19
Speaker 1: on this sub this. Uh but what can't remember his name?
38:23
Speaker 1: The kid from Georgia that they drafted in the second
38:25
Speaker 1: round who has incredible speed. They'll find a package for him.
38:28
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is one of the best game day offensive
38:32
Speaker 1: play calling strategic minds in football. There will be lots
38:36
Speaker 1: so all of these guys are going to be pulled
38:37
Speaker 1: in different directions. They're going to have to do their job.
38:40
Speaker 1: That's going to be the key. Al Right, Well, the
38:41
Speaker 1: schedule today shifts back. Everything goes back to later on
38:44
Speaker 1: this afternoon. But we're going to hear from Nick Foles,
38:46
Speaker 1: the coordinators. A normal Thursday in the regular season just shifted.
38:51
Speaker 1: Then tomorrow John Oser is back. He did not blow
38:54
Speaker 1: away in the storm. He's coming back on the show tomorrow.
38:56
Speaker 1: Head coach Don Rownock. Coffee with the coach Friday morning
38:58
Speaker 1: on drive time. We'll see you then a
