Speaker 1: Drive Time? Ryan Sex steps that John Oh Jack as
0:25
Speaker 1: Jaguarris Drive Time starts right now. Good morning, Welcome into
0:30
Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time. It's Wednesday morning, a beautiful winter morning
0:35
Speaker 1: here in Jackson winter winter, chilly, alright cold, it's brisk,
0:45
Speaker 1: and it's Wednesday, which means it's probably seventy that's still.
0:48
Speaker 1: It was forty eight in my car this morning, and
0:50
Speaker 1: that it's brisk. That's all I have to say before
0:52
Speaker 1: we get started here. What what are you going to
0:54
Speaker 1: a wedding? I didn't get them up. Get a little
0:57
Speaker 1: pocket that was left over from yesterday. We will shoot Wired,
1:00
Speaker 1: which is sort of a highbrow show. You know, I
1:04
Speaker 1: wear the wear the pocket. Yeah. This place, yeah, so interesting.
1:09
Speaker 1: He just wanted to out dress you this morning. Well,
1:12
Speaker 1: next time when you're yeah again, I'm not wearing free clothes, John, Yeah, yeah,
1:21
Speaker 1: dollar store. We'll talk much more about the Titans today
1:26
Speaker 1: calling Jim Wyatt, Titan senior writer and the next Blox
1:29
Speaker 1: will learn much more about that game. But let's get
1:31
Speaker 1: into big things lots of talk about as the team
1:33
Speaker 1: gets back on the field today. Big thing one is
1:36
Speaker 1: black cloud. Yes, it is here. It is hanging around
1:39
Speaker 1: when you lose, especially when the team is four and
1:41
Speaker 1: six and below expectations. Right now in the season, everything stinks.
1:45
Speaker 1: The team stinks, lunch stinks, the day stinks, John stinks,
1:50
Speaker 1: and his outfit apparently today Dollar Store. But hold up,
1:54
Speaker 1: there's not everything stinks this week. They're still room to improve.
1:57
Speaker 1: Six weeks left, six games left. Let's hold our horses
2:01
Speaker 1: on the black cloud and everything stinks, shall we? Big
2:04
Speaker 1: thing too is the Titans. If you be the Titans twice,
2:07
Speaker 1: you're not only staying alive, but you lift yourself above
2:10
Speaker 1: the doormat status. And they have c South. Basically everyone
2:14
Speaker 1: national media wise is completely riding off the Jaguars as
2:16
Speaker 1: they should with last week performance. Your last nay, have
2:19
Speaker 1: c South right. Now, here's your chance to lift yourself
2:22
Speaker 1: one step above that by sweeping the Titans this season
2:24
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Big thing three is don't panic, be careful
2:28
Speaker 1: especially this time a year. Generally you try to change
2:31
Speaker 1: things up because you're four and six and you want
2:33
Speaker 1: to you know, spark winning, spark momentum. But it might
2:36
Speaker 1: be better at this point to stick with the plan
2:38
Speaker 1: and play smart. Then work harder and change your plan
2:42
Speaker 1: with six weeks left to play. Well, here's the important
2:44
Speaker 1: part about don't panic. If you do panic and the
2:48
Speaker 1: players sense panic, they also sense okay, the end is near.
2:52
Speaker 1: People are worried about getting fired. They're not focused on
2:55
Speaker 1: the big picture anymore. It's just about right here, right now.
2:59
Speaker 1: Uh um, And that becomes cultural. It's kind of like
3:04
Speaker 1: black cloud at the top. You know, it was around
3:06
Speaker 1: a group of people, a couple of different groups of people,
3:10
Speaker 1: and they have just completely This team won't win another game.
3:13
Speaker 1: There are a third of the season remains. I get it.
3:17
Speaker 1: This is not a contender. We know that clearly now
3:19
Speaker 1: after the last two weeks. But it doesn't mean that
3:22
Speaker 1: they can't fight and go four and two. The schedule
3:26
Speaker 1: is not the most brutal part of the schedule and
3:28
Speaker 1: improve and get towards eight and eight, which would seem
3:31
Speaker 1: to be the high water mark for this team. At
3:33
Speaker 1: this point, the coaches and players. I've got a greater
3:38
Speaker 1: appreciation for how they have to close out the outside
3:43
Speaker 1: world because the last two days around here have been
3:45
Speaker 1: the world is over right, and here is not just
3:48
Speaker 1: in the building, here is you know, public's out by
3:51
Speaker 1: my house. You know the carpool line a b K.
3:54
Speaker 1: When I went over there the other day to get
3:56
Speaker 1: my son. I mean, it was just it's stupid social
3:59
Speaker 1: media and TV and it's just and and look, it's
4:02
Speaker 1: not even as if the national media are against the Jaggers.
4:04
Speaker 1: The Jaggers have made themselves irrelevant. I don't care. Irrelevant
4:08
Speaker 1: is the word at four and six. And when you
4:11
Speaker 1: were four and four with three games in the Division
4:13
Speaker 1: two against the Titans or against the Texans and the
4:16
Speaker 1: Colts to get started, and then you lay two eggs
4:18
Speaker 1: like that, of course they're going to do that. And
4:20
Speaker 1: of course the natural instinct is going to be team stink,
4:24
Speaker 1: this is over, who's getting fired? Was the next coach
4:26
Speaker 1: gonna be winner? They drafting hold on six games remain
4:30
Speaker 1: that is still it's more than a third of the season,
4:33
Speaker 1: and there is no reason why you can't play better. Well,
4:37
Speaker 1: I was talking to people up at the gas and
4:38
Speaker 1: sip I can't afford public um. And I got the
4:42
Speaker 1: same sort of reaction the folks to gas and sip,
4:45
Speaker 1: you know, sitting on the corner said, Uh, no way
4:48
Speaker 1: does this team win a game? Uh we gotta go
4:51
Speaker 1: back to minshew. All that stuff um. I continue to say,
4:55
Speaker 1: and I've said in several public forms last in the
4:58
Speaker 1: last few days, all this stuff we talked about, all
5:02
Speaker 1: the panic, all there, stop the run and you solve
5:05
Speaker 1: your problems. Avery Jones said last week it's all about
5:09
Speaker 1: standing up. And I think to a point he's right.
5:11
Speaker 1: You just gotta will yourself. It's not necessarily physical strength
5:15
Speaker 1: all the times, not necessarily you know, getting manhandle physically,
5:19
Speaker 1: will yourself to do the right thing on every play,
5:23
Speaker 1: and you slow down the run. I'm not saying they
5:24
Speaker 1: have a whole teams to ten yards to carry. I
5:26
Speaker 1: mean to and I haven't done that, But I'm not
5:30
Speaker 1: saying if you have to hold teams to ten yards
5:32
Speaker 1: the game. But there is I guess what, Brian, there
5:35
Speaker 1: is some place magical between two hundred and sixty and
5:38
Speaker 1: ten that you can get to and be better, even
5:41
Speaker 1: if you're undersized. I don't think you're gonna be a
5:43
Speaker 1: a hardcore run stuffing team without Marcel. But you can
5:46
Speaker 1: get it back down and get this thing. Man, what
5:48
Speaker 1: if you do half? What if you take it from
5:50
Speaker 1: two sixty to one thirty? Can you still win in
5:54
Speaker 1: this league if you give up one thirty? Yes, yes
5:56
Speaker 1: you can't. Now the offense has to come into play,
5:59
Speaker 1: and you've got a scoreboard than sixteen points. You know,
6:02
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to go and create. And
6:04
Speaker 1: the quarterback has to play better. We can discuss that
6:06
Speaker 1: this week to play. Absolutely, he has to play better,
6:09
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But I do think in his defense,
6:12
Speaker 1: you know, but a guy that missed more than two
6:14
Speaker 1: months of football and practices practice to adjust to the
6:18
Speaker 1: speed of the game and adjust to the speed of
6:20
Speaker 1: the other team and get hit. Let's see if he
6:22
Speaker 1: plays better this week before we say, hey, bring Minshew back,
6:24
Speaker 1: because I'm here to tell you that folks down the
6:26
Speaker 1: gas and set point mensh. Of course, they did make
6:29
Speaker 1: the case for me that minshe would have won the
6:30
Speaker 1: game last week. I don't he would, so then then
6:34
Speaker 1: the issue was more the defense than the offense. The
6:37
Speaker 1: offense contributed to it, but it was the defense. The
6:40
Speaker 1: offense couldn't keep pace with the defense that couldn't stop
6:43
Speaker 1: the Colts, So Minshew doesn't solve the problem last week. Now,
6:47
Speaker 1: if Folds for some reason comes out and plays poorly
6:52
Speaker 1: against the Titans and isn't getting better, all right, then
6:55
Speaker 1: we can talk. But let's let this thing trend a
6:58
Speaker 1: little bit before we say. On one. You know Disney stock, right,
7:03
Speaker 1: I bought some last week. It went up one day,
7:05
Speaker 1: it went up. Since then it has not gone up stock.
7:12
Speaker 1: You should pay attention to me. I did well with Disney.
7:14
Speaker 1: But the point is I have no money to invest.
7:16
Speaker 1: The point is is that I didn't make it a
7:18
Speaker 1: one day purchase. I made it over time. Some people
7:21
Speaker 1: at the gas and step probably we're talking about Disney Plus,
7:25
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, oh, that's something people are going to buy.
7:26
Speaker 1: Over time, I might talk about I might want to
7:28
Speaker 1: get to get in on that same thing. Let me
7:31
Speaker 1: see a little trending before I sell my Nick fool stock, right,
7:35
Speaker 1: let me see what he does this week before I
7:37
Speaker 1: say that was a bad buy. I shouldn't have done it.
7:39
Speaker 1: People down the gas and we're watching that, I think
7:42
Speaker 1: on the road, coup channel, that Crackle, a free TV.
7:45
Speaker 1: That's a day I think I can't afford the Disney.
7:49
Speaker 1: I like the analogy, though, I like the stock STrenD.
7:53
Speaker 1: You don't buy, you don't. You don't buy or sell
7:56
Speaker 1: based on one day. You buy with the idea, let's
7:59
Speaker 1: see what this does, and I will sell when I
8:01
Speaker 1: feel like I'm really going to lose again. The problem
8:05
Speaker 1: that his passes. You know, he did throw a bad
8:08
Speaker 1: interception and he was errant in some places, but he
8:11
Speaker 1: wasn't the reason they lost. But but he also wasn't
8:16
Speaker 1: the reason that they want. And that's what people expect
8:20
Speaker 1: when you signed this. And we sort of brought into
8:23
Speaker 1: it with the hey, he's been here before, he's done
8:26
Speaker 1: this before. He was under probably unfair expectations in terms
8:31
Speaker 1: of what he was going to be able to do. Coaching.
8:32
Speaker 1: Jeffs tried to sell that down a little bit. Yeah,
8:34
Speaker 1: but eighty eight million, you can't sell it that. It's hard. Yeah,
8:37
Speaker 1: But we also heard John D. Philippo in his press
8:38
Speaker 1: conference last week say, let's not forget the guy is human.
8:41
Speaker 1: None of us wanted to hear that because we knew
8:43
Speaker 1: all the stats in November December, but you guys probably
8:47
Speaker 1: had the same. In fact, you guys were both around
8:48
Speaker 1: when these guys log him In and Basli both came
8:50
Speaker 1: in on Monday, and I was down. I was selling
8:54
Speaker 1: my offensive line stock on Monday. In fact, I think
8:56
Speaker 1: I said, right, you gotta you gotta drive some big
8:59
Speaker 1: guys really on, and both of them to do hold On.
9:02
Speaker 1: Norwell didn't play as poorly as you think. Cam Robinson
9:05
Speaker 1: had some moments where he was in solid and the
9:07
Speaker 1: right spot. It's not great, but overall the line was
9:10
Speaker 1: not abysmal, which I think they're So if you can
9:16
Speaker 1: compete with that offensive line, compete, not dominate, but compete,
9:19
Speaker 1: and the quarterback plays better, you like what you're getting
9:22
Speaker 1: from d J. Chark Chris Connelly. Um, we need to
9:25
Speaker 1: see a little bit more from Keelan Cole now in
9:27
Speaker 1: the place of Mark Eastley. And there's still the possibility
9:30
Speaker 1: if you go back to last year d D. Westbrook,
9:32
Speaker 1: they knew, teams knew they stacked the line of scrimmage
9:35
Speaker 1: to stop Lendard for net and Westbrook had a real
9:37
Speaker 1: nice run through the second half of the season. Okay,
9:40
Speaker 1: so you've got some things you can work with. This
9:42
Speaker 1: is not a bottomless pit with the Titans, Buccaneers, Chargers, Raiders,
9:49
Speaker 1: Falcons and Colts. You're not going on six. You're not
9:54
Speaker 1: not You're not going six, you know either. But there's
9:56
Speaker 1: no reason to pour the cold water or the gasoline
9:59
Speaker 1: and like the flame right now. Tell you what if
10:03
Speaker 1: they don't get better effort, play concentration on defense and
10:10
Speaker 1: out of the question. But you said effort wasn't the
10:11
Speaker 1: problem though the other day effort every stopped the run.
10:15
Speaker 1: It looks like you're not giving effort. Wasn't that. There
10:17
Speaker 1: were a couple of plays where I thought they could
10:20
Speaker 1: have seen better effort, but overall, effort slash focus. Um.
10:26
Speaker 1: If they don't play better against the RUNO and six
10:28
Speaker 1: real possible. You cannot win playing the way they did
10:31
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Right, So at some point I'm saying
10:36
Speaker 1: I think they can. I'm betting. I'm buying the they
10:40
Speaker 1: will be better this week against the run. Now. I
10:44
Speaker 1: also bought it after the Panthers game. And Joel Mixon
10:48
Speaker 1: was the a f c's leading rusher last year, and
10:51
Speaker 1: if he was ever going to have a big game,
10:53
Speaker 1: you would think, well, the Jaguars gave up two five
10:56
Speaker 1: What did he have two yards? Or did he have
10:58
Speaker 1: eight carries in no yards? Yeah? Curious pretty good. Then
11:02
Speaker 1: the next week I bought again on Levian Bell and
11:06
Speaker 1: they held him down. So I'm betting that this team
11:10
Speaker 1: stops the run fifty better. They'll still get up and thirty,
11:14
Speaker 1: which is not great, not by the standard that we're
11:17
Speaker 1: talking about for this franchise, but I'm betting they'll be
11:20
Speaker 1: better this week. That's all I'll take. I will take
11:27
Speaker 1: that bet. It was. I was talking to Calais yesterday.
11:29
Speaker 1: We were at a community visit, and I was asking,
11:31
Speaker 1: what's the difference when you prepare for a guy like
11:34
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry? And he says, you have to be careful
11:36
Speaker 1: with someone like Derrick Henry because he's so large. You
11:38
Speaker 1: over excel and you get so excited and you're going
11:41
Speaker 1: guns blazing into tackling him. That one move and he
11:45
Speaker 1: can make you look silly, which is what happened that runs.
11:47
Speaker 1: So he said, yes, we have to stop the run,
11:50
Speaker 1: but let's also not forget who we're facing. We can't
11:53
Speaker 1: stress it so much to the point where we get
11:55
Speaker 1: too excited to stop him. One guy made that play
11:57
Speaker 1: happen last year to Shaun Gibson. He stepped inside when
12:00
Speaker 1: his job was to be outside and if he's outside,
12:02
Speaker 1: everything is different about that play. That's the that's the
12:05
Speaker 1: danger with a guy like Derrick Henry. One guy screws
12:09
Speaker 1: up in their tackling plan, as coaches say it, and
12:11
Speaker 1: you can't get them down the way that they had
12:12
Speaker 1: that defense stacked. That was all it took. One guy
12:16
Speaker 1: was out of place by that much and he got
12:20
Speaker 1: blocked and Henry was one on one downhill on a
12:22
Speaker 1: j Boy. You gotta buy Henry stock there. Yeah, And
12:25
Speaker 1: we've listened to that yard commercial. I don't even know
12:28
Speaker 1: how many times this season A lot, Hey, lots many.
12:31
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't want to hear it again. Speaking of
12:34

Speaker 1: the practice field today, getting ready for an a f
15:02
Speaker 1: C South matchup Sunday in Nashville against the Titans. As
15:06
Speaker 1: we welcome in Jim Wyatt, senior writer for the Titans. Jim,
15:09
Speaker 1: how's it going. I'm doing great. I hope you're doing well.
15:13
Speaker 1: We are, thank you, excited to be in Nashville. We
15:15
Speaker 1: were just talking about in our last segment that yard
15:19
Speaker 1: run Derrick Henry had against the Jaguars yesterday. We've seen
15:21
Speaker 1: the commercial countless times on NFL Network and it seems
15:25
Speaker 1: like Derrick Henry has not slowed down at all this season.
15:28
Speaker 1: Eight touchdowns this season definitely doesn't seem like that commercial
15:32
Speaker 1: is out of place this year. Yeah, and I have
15:35
Speaker 1: a feeling and he usually goes to media on Thursday
15:39
Speaker 1: that he's going to try to change the subject because
15:42
Speaker 1: that's what he did the first time they played the Jackson.
15:44
Speaker 1: He doesn't like to talk about last year. And I'm
15:48
Speaker 1: sure that's gonna come up here this week because he
15:51
Speaker 1: is coming off yard game against the Chief. He's on
15:55
Speaker 1: pace to finish with a career ha, he's facing the
15:59
Speaker 1: Jackson defense. I know he's had some trouble stopping the
16:02
Speaker 1: run of light. So, uh, they're gonna need to lean
16:05
Speaker 1: on him and let him have success if they're gonna
16:09
Speaker 1: be a contender here in the second half of the season.
16:12
Speaker 1: Jim John Osier here when we talked Monday, UM, we
16:16
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the difference that Tanney Hill has
16:19
Speaker 1: made in the offense. He says, it's not really because
16:21
Speaker 1: Mariotte is not in there, but there has been a difference. Uh,
16:25
Speaker 1: tell us again sort of what that difference has been
16:27
Speaker 1: and how they're different offensively than when we saw him
16:29
Speaker 1: week two or week three. I'm sorry, Well, they've been
16:33
Speaker 1: just a lot better, you know, throwing the ball down field.
16:36
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one thing. Marcus Mariota. It's hard to
16:39
Speaker 1: explain what happened to him along the course of the year,
16:42
Speaker 1: but they just seemed lose confidence thrown the ball down field,
16:45
Speaker 1: he seemed a little skittish in the pocket, he took
16:47
Speaker 1: too many socks. And with Ryan tanning Hill at quarterback,
16:50
Speaker 1: they you know, he's been more decisive. He's said his receivers.
16:54
Speaker 1: They've been good in the red zone. They're up to
16:56
Speaker 1: number one in the league and red zone scoring as
16:58
Speaker 1: far as touchdowns go. And um, I think the offense
17:02
Speaker 1: as a whole is playing with a lot more confidence.
17:04
Speaker 1: And uh, that's something they're gonna need. I mean, they've
17:07
Speaker 1: been inconsistent, uh all season on office and they've been
17:12
Speaker 1: shut out in the first half of four games this year.
17:15
Speaker 1: But it seems like picking up momentum, they've definitely been better.
17:20
Speaker 1: You know, the last four weeks since he's been the starter,
17:22
Speaker 1: they've won three of those games. And now, um, he'll
17:25
Speaker 1: try to keep it going coming off the bye weekend.
17:28
Speaker 1: The last time the Jaguars and the Titans played, Taylor
17:31
Speaker 1: Luan was not in the lineup. Jim and the Jaguars
17:35
Speaker 1: got up early and let the pass rush dogs loose
17:38
Speaker 1: and they ended up with nine sacks. How much different
17:41
Speaker 1: is the offensive line at this point in the season
17:43
Speaker 1: and how much of the difference has it made having
17:45
Speaker 1: Luan back. Well, it's gotten better, um, no question. And
17:51
Speaker 1: again I hate to pending everything on Marcus, but a
17:53
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with the quarterback getting
17:56
Speaker 1: the ball out and um, and not that he was responsible.
18:01
Speaker 1: You know, you've got sacked twenty five times in the
18:03
Speaker 1: first what six games, I think, and some of those
18:06
Speaker 1: were on him for holding the ball. Other ones were
18:09
Speaker 1: because of breakdowns. Lawrence helped. Um. You know, he can
18:14
Speaker 1: get better himself, and he hasn't been the the Pro
18:19
Speaker 1: Bowl tackle that he has been in previous years. I
18:22
Speaker 1: think he's done a pretty solid job. He still gets
18:25
Speaker 1: too many penalties. He's got to clean that up. Uh.
18:28
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of guys shuffling in and out
18:30
Speaker 1: of the lineup, especially inside, you know, as you know,
18:34
Speaker 1: because of injuries. But I think for the most part, Uh,
18:38
Speaker 1: they've settled down a lot. And UH, and you know,
18:42
Speaker 1: they hope they never see a game like what happened
18:44
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Again, let me flip it on you and
18:47
Speaker 1: talk about the Titans pass rush for a moment. I
18:49
Speaker 1: know that folks in Nashville have enjoyed watching Jeffrey Simmons
18:53
Speaker 1: come alive, and he certainly played well. But every time
18:56
Speaker 1: I turn on the Titans, I'm watching Harold Landry. Tell
18:59
Speaker 1: me about those two young defensive players and and two
19:02
Speaker 1: guys in particular upfront that seemed me making a difference
19:05
Speaker 1: for the Titans. Yeah, Lander has been really good. I
19:08
Speaker 1: mean he's got seven sacks. Uh, he's got He's added
19:11
Speaker 1: I think some extra pass rush moves this year that
19:14
Speaker 1: are effective for him. He's just been more disruptive on
19:19
Speaker 1: a regular basis. Simmons is still kind of finding his way. Uh,
19:23
Speaker 1: he's only played four games. He didn't have a side
19:26
Speaker 1: right out of the gate, and he said snap numbers
19:28
Speaker 1: have increased each week. He's still disruptive even if his
19:32
Speaker 1: numbers don't show it. I mean he's got six quarterback pressures. Um,
19:37
Speaker 1: he has been responsible for. I do a mailbag a
19:43
Speaker 1: couple of times a week. I know John does one
19:45
Speaker 1: every day, but but one uh in there yesterday was
19:49
Speaker 1: why his Simmons kind of been quieter after a fast started,
19:53
Speaker 1: and he hasn't again didn't have the side didn't have
19:56
Speaker 1: a standout play, but there was a game, a play
19:58
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs last time out where he forced to
20:01
Speaker 1: runner inside because he was so constructive and then that
20:05
Speaker 1: ball carrier were stripped and Rashaan Evans picked the ball
20:08
Speaker 1: up and ran it back for a touchdown. He's he's
20:10
Speaker 1: had penetration on other plays that have made guys uh
20:14
Speaker 1: make plays around him. So he's he's made a big difference.
20:18
Speaker 1: And I think Landry emergency, his emergence has helped. They
20:22
Speaker 1: hope to get Jirell Casey back. They've been with that
20:24
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. If they can get
20:26
Speaker 1: him back, that helps the group even more. Hey, Jim,
20:28
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you're aware. Not only does John
20:30
Speaker 1: do his ozone mail bag, you know, every day, He's
20:34
Speaker 1: done it every day for like eight years. He hasn't
20:37
Speaker 1: missed Saturday Sunday. I mean, John's way too modest. He's
20:41
Speaker 1: like Derrick Henry. He doesn't like to talk about the past. Okay,
20:46
Speaker 1: so what's the streak? Now, how many days in a
20:47
Speaker 1: row you've done it? You can't count that high anymore.
20:50
Speaker 1: But he's in the thousands, Jim, It's in the thousands. Yeah,
20:53
Speaker 1: Well what I you know, I've worked for the Yeah,
20:55
Speaker 1: I worked for the Tennessee in a long time. As
20:58
Speaker 1: John knows, covering the team and I can't him aboard
21:01
Speaker 1: uh you know the team's website. Several years back, I
21:04
Speaker 1: looked around in the league and saw what other people
21:07
Speaker 1: did and thought I'd like to incorporate death some some
21:09
Speaker 1: things I didn't want to do, and I knew I
21:11
Speaker 1: wanted to do a mailbag, and I started off doing
21:13
Speaker 1: it once a week. I saw John was doing it
21:16
Speaker 1: every day, and I thought about that for a little
21:18
Speaker 1: bit and said, now I can't make that commitment to
21:21
Speaker 1: do it every day, So I do it. I do
21:22
Speaker 1: it twice a week, which which is a kind of
21:25
Speaker 1: a bear in itself. So I don't know he does
21:26
Speaker 1: it every day. Well, the big leagues are rough, Jim,
21:29
Speaker 1: I mean to be honest with you, Jim. You've covered
21:33
Speaker 1: this team for I guess longer than anybody, uh maybe
21:37
Speaker 1: you and Paul uh. And it seems they've always when
21:41
Speaker 1: they're good, they play a certain way. It seems like
21:43
Speaker 1: they have for uh forever, and they're always a little
21:46
Speaker 1: overlook but wind up being there at the end. Is
21:49
Speaker 1: this one of those Titans teams that we could see
21:51
Speaker 1: at the end, I think potentially, but you know, they've
21:56
Speaker 1: gotten to a point where, you know, and I saw
21:58
Speaker 1: Phil Jates put out of pretty interesting staff the other
22:01
Speaker 1: day just about the number of teams with consecutive winning
22:05
Speaker 1: seasons and and the Patriots obviously, who are way ahead,
22:09
Speaker 1: was nineteen in a row, which is remarkable, but the
22:12
Speaker 1: Titans were like in that group that, uh, it's like
22:16
Speaker 1: fifth or six in the league and and consecutive winning
22:19
Speaker 1: seasons and that's and that's three and uh. But fans
22:24
Speaker 1: have gotten to the point where nine and seven is
22:27
Speaker 1: not good enough. And they've been nine and seven three
22:29
Speaker 1: years in a row, won a playoff game a couple
22:32
Speaker 1: of years back. But people don't want eight and eight
22:35
Speaker 1: nine and seven here anymore. So while I think this
22:38
Speaker 1: team could stick around to be a contender, just just
22:41
Speaker 1: being a contender and and and being nine and seven
22:45
Speaker 1: and just missing out the playoffs that people are not
22:47
Speaker 1: gonna be happy with that here. And really people are
22:50
Speaker 1: people ready to win a division. I mean when they
22:53
Speaker 1: got in the last time, it was as a wild card,
22:55
Speaker 1: and I think you with with the lay things to
22:58
Speaker 1: play out so far as team has not been very
23:00
Speaker 1: good against the A s C. South. It's lost um
23:04
Speaker 1: too many games where they just have been inconcesent, inconsistent
23:08
Speaker 1: and didn't show up when people expected them to kind
23:11
Speaker 1: of take that next step. I think people, uh are
23:15
Speaker 1: hopeful that this is the year where they can get
23:17
Speaker 1: over the hump, but it kind of remains to be seen.
23:21
Speaker 1: But because again, you saw the Titans and they laid
23:23
Speaker 1: an egg in Jacksonville order this season, they got shut
23:27
Speaker 1: out in Denver this season, They've lost home games to
23:30
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and India. They've been really inconsistent, and they're
23:34
Speaker 1: just a hard team to predict. While so while people
23:37
Speaker 1: are excited and think this team has a great chance
23:42
Speaker 1: to do something with it, with the schedule that has
23:44
Speaker 1: you know, four on the last six against the FC
23:47
Speaker 1: South teams, I think they're in a proven situation with
23:51
Speaker 1: fan base because um, you know, they want to see more.
23:56
Speaker 1: We know the feeling of not being able to predict,
23:58
Speaker 1: that's for sure. It's a while right at all times.
24:01
Speaker 1: All right, Jim, thanks so much for your time. We
24:04
Speaker 1: will see you in Nashville this weekend. Jim, Thanks buddy,

27:09
Speaker 1: been way too much hype with you this morning. That's
27:11
Speaker 1: a good There's been a good day. I'm not used
27:13
Speaker 1: to it, especially on Wednesdays. Are you ready? Oh okay?
27:19
Speaker 1: Unhip Cat Georgia. What do you got? Oh high? Oh?
27:24
Speaker 1: Two losses, two wins, two losses, two wins, two losses.
27:28
Speaker 1: What does that mean? If anything? Well, when I first
27:31
Speaker 1: received this question, I I almost ignored it because and
27:35
Speaker 1: then the more I thought about it, I think it
27:37
Speaker 1: means everything for this team. It defines what it's been.
27:41
Speaker 1: It is in one sense, been able to be resilient
27:44
Speaker 1: at times, but it's been unbelievably inconsistent. It hasn't played
27:49
Speaker 1: well enough to keep itself in contention, it's played well
27:52
Speaker 1: enough just to tease you a little bit at times.
27:54
Speaker 1: Uh so, I think. And also within that streak is
27:58
Speaker 1: the fact that the two losses two loss as to
28:00
Speaker 1: us as have all been too good teams. The two wins,
28:03
Speaker 1: two wins have all been to bad team. So in
28:05
Speaker 1: a sense, um, this is what the season has been.
28:09
Speaker 1: It's been remarkably inconsistent, with some flashes, with some excitement,
28:12
Speaker 1: and now that we're back into this two loss streak,
28:16
Speaker 1: it feels like the season's over. But as you've cavalierly
28:20
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Brian, if if if you win two right
28:23
Speaker 1: now and in the street continues, then all of a
28:25
Speaker 1: sudden you're feeling good after twelve games, or you're feeling okay.
28:29
Speaker 1: So I think it defines the Jaguars season. Um, well,
28:32
Speaker 1: but you and I have talked extensively. We thought that
28:35
Speaker 1: this team look like an eight and eight team with
28:38
Speaker 1: if things went well right, if you're starting quarterback plays
28:41
Speaker 1: all season, and if your best defensive player doesn't quit
28:44
Speaker 1: on your team, you know, maybe you can win two
28:46
Speaker 1: more and if things go wrong, you could win two less. Right,
28:50
Speaker 1: there was about what they are. It's about what they are,
28:52
Speaker 1: which is why I am saying season is not over yet.
28:56
Speaker 1: I also look at the majority of those two wins.
28:58
Speaker 1: Two lost it too. It was a rookie quarterback, and
29:01
Speaker 1: not that it was his vault. But with the rookie
29:03
Speaker 1: quarterback you do this up down, up down, up down.
29:06
Speaker 1: What was he four and four? So now the second
29:10
Speaker 1: half of the season will be interesting with Nick Foles
29:12
Speaker 1: in the lineup because you would expect not to be
29:14
Speaker 1: that way. And if I'm right and they're going to
29:17
Speaker 1: win a few games down the stretch here, then he
29:20
Speaker 1: can't be that way, right, So that has to change
29:24
Speaker 1: to some degree, and so does that defense has to change.
29:28
Speaker 1: We talk all about the quarterback, but like we've said
29:31
Speaker 1: the past two weeks, have to play period, regardless of
29:35
Speaker 1: who your quarterback is. If you're the quarter band, they
29:38
Speaker 1: can play better. Now they're not the seventeen team, they're
29:42
Speaker 1: not last year's team, but they're not that. They are
29:45
Speaker 1: not as bad as they've looked the last two weeks.
29:48
Speaker 1: They're better than that. They have to now show it. All. Right,
29:52
Speaker 1: let's go to Tom in Jacksonville. What positions are in
29:56
Speaker 1: need of upgrade the most? I would say middle linebackers,
30:00
Speaker 1: height end running back. Sorry, but for net was way overdrafted. Yeah.
30:04
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have just an unending number of these
30:08
Speaker 1: questions because we have so much time to talk about
30:10
Speaker 1: the offseason next off season. But you know, it's interesting
30:14
Speaker 1: because you do look at the team and you wonder, Okay,
30:16
Speaker 1: where are they deficient? I I agree with tight end. Um.
30:20
Speaker 1: I think the jury is out on middle linebacker. It's
30:23
Speaker 1: so vogue this week and say, oh, you gotta move
30:25
Speaker 1: Miles out of there. Uh, he played poorly last week.
30:28
Speaker 1: I don't think he has played poorly all the time
30:30
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. So let's not quick trigger him out of
30:33
Speaker 1: the middle unless you have a better alternative for it. Um.
30:37
Speaker 1: But I think this place misses to me, Brian. I
30:40
Speaker 1: get what Tony and Jeff are saying, but I think
30:41
Speaker 1: at some point next off season you're gonna have to
30:43
Speaker 1: go interior line. Not changing on that and uh, I
30:48
Speaker 1: think defensive tackle, interior defense. Um. I think there has
30:53
Speaker 1: to be some sort of getting bigger on the interior
30:58
Speaker 1: so that you're not so vulnerable if you have a
31:00
Speaker 1: game to just the wheels coming off. And if you
31:02
Speaker 1: recall that was what we were talking about two years ago,
31:05
Speaker 1: they had to get bigger. They went and got Marcel Darius.
31:07
Speaker 1: They got better again. Not wanting to say that this
31:10
Speaker 1: defense can't play good against the run without Marcel, but
31:13
Speaker 1: you wanted big, you got it. Uh, there are I'm
31:17
Speaker 1: not going to change my tune. One offensive lineman, one
31:20
Speaker 1: defensive lineman with each of the first two picks that
31:23
Speaker 1: you have next year. Make you make yourself better up
31:27
Speaker 1: the middle on both sides of the ball. You fix it.
31:30
Speaker 1: The running back is not going to be a need
31:32
Speaker 1: because Leonard's going to be here and Roquel Armstead is
31:34
Speaker 1: gonna be here. You're not gonna go out and blow
31:36
Speaker 1: a draft pick on a running back, especially not high.
31:40
Speaker 1: Tight end is absolutely a need, and I think that
31:44
Speaker 1: will be a point of conflict for them in the
31:46
Speaker 1: first round. I mean, I don't think there's a tight
31:49
Speaker 1: end that belongs in the first round. Yeah, not like
31:52
Speaker 1: last year where they were a couple right, which concerns
31:55
Speaker 1: you because you need a first round tight end here,
31:57
Speaker 1: meaning you need a player of that caliber at some
32:02
Speaker 1: point you've got to have that position upgrade. Well. But again,
32:05
Speaker 1: j Hockenson is a generational tight end prospect and he
32:09
Speaker 1: had a hundred and thirty two yards in a touchdown
32:12
Speaker 1: in his first game. Since then, he's had two hundred
32:14
Speaker 1: total yards. I think he has twenty three or twenty
32:16
Speaker 1: four catches. Top ten pick. The kid in Denver no
32:21
Speaker 1: a fan. It's a fan. Hasn't done anything yet, which
32:25
Speaker 1: is which is why two years ago they didn't take
32:29
Speaker 1: a tight end in the first round when there were
32:30
Speaker 1: some there, because their research showed it takes a while
32:35
Speaker 1: four tight ends, so I wouldn't go pulling it and
32:38
Speaker 1: trying to create a first round just because how don't
32:41
Speaker 1: need I was so relieved this year when they took
32:45
Speaker 1: Josh Allen because they didn't need a pass rusher right
32:50
Speaker 1: what they god is their best pass rusher right now
32:52
Speaker 1: out there playing. You always take the value positions, and
32:55
Speaker 1: the big guys are the value positions. There will be
32:57
Speaker 1: guys who can play. The kid at Vanderbilt, what's his name,
33:00
Speaker 1: Jared Pinkney. There's a kid at Missouri with a really
33:04
Speaker 1: long last name that I cannot pronounce yet. Who you know?
33:08
Speaker 1: Get the jagg Wears. Do you have a second round pick,
33:10
Speaker 1: and based on where they are now, it'll probably be
33:12
Speaker 1: pretty high, so you can do some things with those positions.
33:16
Speaker 1: But for me, offensive lineman, defensive lineman, tight end in
33:19
Speaker 1: that order, offense or best abailable player offense or defense,
33:24
Speaker 1: and then tight end. Definitely address the tight end though,
33:27
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I mean, you just can't keep playing
33:29
Speaker 1: with what you've got. All right, Let's go to West
33:32
Speaker 1: in Joshua. What worries me is our division rivals are
33:35
Speaker 1: running the ball better than us. We supposedly have been
33:38
Speaker 1: gearing the last three years to have an efficient running game.
33:41
Speaker 1: Our rivals are doing to us what we should be
33:44
Speaker 1: doing to them. This is what concerns me. Your thoughts, John, Well,
33:49
Speaker 1: I'll I could pull up the ozone and just read
33:52
Speaker 1: the answer, because my thoughts are that when you're division
33:56
Speaker 1: opponents can run on you and you can't run on them,
33:59
Speaker 1: you're in a lot of trouble and Fami, that's why
34:01
Speaker 1: you're four and six. That defines it. Uh And he's
34:05
Speaker 1: right in the sense that a any team has stopped
34:09
Speaker 1: to run, so Jaggars aren't unique there. But this is
34:11
Speaker 1: a team that believes it should be able to run.
34:13
Speaker 1: And in the last two games, the Jaguars have lost
34:18
Speaker 1: in the way that they should be beating teams. And
34:21
Speaker 1: my chair keeps thinking, you know, what especially's chair. You know,
34:26
Speaker 1: it's it's used to having a thunder sitting in there.
34:29
Speaker 1: So we're just trying to do a job. Apparently it's
34:31
Speaker 1: not used to it because it's it's it's going down.

37:17
Speaker 1: Jack's in Jacksonville. Calais Campbell, Quincy Williams and Leon Jacob's
37:22
Speaker 1: all making the visit. In the line when we walked
37:25
Speaker 1: into this place to say hi to Calais Campbell from
37:29
Speaker 1: everyone at N. A. S. Jacks was he had to
37:31
Speaker 1: be there thirty minutes, just shaking hands, taking pictures. It
37:35
Speaker 1: was pretty cool to see. And he buys so into
37:37
Speaker 1: these community visits, I mean takes the time to stop
37:40
Speaker 1: and talk to every single person there. You can um
37:46
Speaker 1: we can get Jade because we're around him a lot.
37:49
Speaker 1: When people see him in person, he is so large.
37:54
Speaker 1: He's bigger than John Henderson. He's bigger than Tony Boselli.
37:57
Speaker 1: He is a huge man and when he walks into
38:01
Speaker 1: a room, you see everybody's head turned like wow, look
38:05
Speaker 1: at that guy. And you can't fake Brian. How he
38:08
Speaker 1: is around people, how gracious, I mean, he's even be
38:12
Speaker 1: on normal. I mean he's Uh, it's difficult when you're
38:16
Speaker 1: out and everybody is talking to I assume no one's
38:19
Speaker 1: to talk to me, but um, it has to be
38:21
Speaker 1: difficult to always be gracious and be uh, well gracious
38:27
Speaker 1: is right where and be polite to everybody because when
38:30
Speaker 1: you have people coming at you, no matter how good
38:32
Speaker 1: a person you are, it's it's tough. He never, ever,
38:36
Speaker 1: I've never seen him rude to people. Um, phenomenal. I
38:40
Speaker 1: mean it's that's not easy when it's always he's top
38:44
Speaker 1: two or three old time Jaguars players in the community
38:49
Speaker 1: in terms of how he reacts, how people treat him,
38:52
Speaker 1: how he treats other people. I mean, he's right there
38:54
Speaker 1: at the very top and he's only been here three
38:56
Speaker 1: and people are drawn to I mean as personality people
38:58
Speaker 1: want to be around and uh, all time good guy.
39:01
Speaker 1: To the point where we were talking about on the
39:03
Speaker 1: right home. If he ever isn't here how much this
39:06
Speaker 1: team will miss him when he's gone. And you do
39:08
Speaker 1: take it granted because we see him every single day
39:10
Speaker 1: and talked to every day. If he's not ever here,
39:13
Speaker 1: we're gonna say, man, we miss that guy. All right.
39:15
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dmitrius Harvey from Big Cat Country, who
39:18
Speaker 1: reminded us of these comments shod Con made in Houston
39:22
Speaker 1: last year. I honestly had forgotten about some of them.
39:24
Speaker 1: But the main point of it, with stability should not
39:26
Speaker 1: be confused with satisfaction. This cannot repeat itself in two
39:29
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, and I wanted to bring this up because yes,
39:33
Speaker 1: the team is four and six, but I was wondering
39:35
Speaker 1: what Shot would think with one Nick Foles being injured
39:38
Speaker 1: half the season, the drama that was Jalen Ramsey. Does
39:43
Speaker 1: he change these comments going forward this year? Well? I
39:45
Speaker 1: spoke to him in London, uh right before that was
39:50
Speaker 1: through what seven games, right games? Whatever? It was based
39:53
Speaker 1: on midway point the season, and he uh was very
39:57
Speaker 1: pointed in that he was. I got the vibe from
40:01
Speaker 1: him that he understood how much adversity they had overcome
40:04
Speaker 1: and he liked what they had done to get to
40:07
Speaker 1: eight and eight. Um, and that was a perfectly legitimate,
40:12
Speaker 1: logical way to feel at that point. Uh, that was
40:15
Speaker 1: before sixteen. So I would assume that he is less
40:20
Speaker 1: thrilled after those two games, because anybody would be. UM.
40:25
Speaker 1: But I also know from experience, Brian, that Shot is
40:29
Speaker 1: somebody who all owners say they want to let it
40:31
Speaker 1: play out and make a decision when it's an appropriate
40:35
Speaker 1: time to make a decision. Shot in eight years has
40:39
Speaker 1: been that guy. So I expect him to make a
40:45
Speaker 1: long term, proper decision without emotion as much as possible.
40:49
Speaker 1: So I expect to be after the season he'll evaluate
40:52
Speaker 1: and there are six games left, and as he would
40:56
Speaker 1: tell you, it's about results. Well, let's let's take the opposite.
40:59
Speaker 1: Let's go across the all away and put ourselves in
41:01
Speaker 1: the mind of a lot of those assistant coaches right now.
41:03
Speaker 1: I guarantee that they are talking with their wives, and
41:08
Speaker 1: the wives question is what's going on? Should we plan
41:12
Speaker 1: long term here? Should we renew the house that we've rented? Um?
41:16
Speaker 1: Should we start thinking about where we're going to be next?
41:18
Speaker 1: That's part of this world. They know it, Their wives
41:22
Speaker 1: know it. Sadly, their kids know it. They bounce around
41:25
Speaker 1: a lot. UM If the Jaguars don't win on Sunday
41:29
Speaker 1: in Nashville. If they don't play well, again, those tweets
41:33
Speaker 1: will get more frequent. The howls at the door, as
41:37
Speaker 1: we used to say around here, we'll get louder. And
41:39
Speaker 1: the coaches have to deal with it. It sucks for them.
41:43
Speaker 1: I mean, and look, I know them personally, know a
41:47
Speaker 1: lot of their wives, know their kids. It's terrible. It's
41:51
Speaker 1: a they people go, oh, yeah, well they buy in
41:53
Speaker 1: for the business, and yeah, they do. They do. It
41:55
Speaker 1: doesn't make any easier their human beings. Um, But their
41:58
Speaker 1: reality right now is because they're four and six and
42:01
Speaker 1: not six and four. We're about to start the holiday
42:04
Speaker 1: season and they're about to start a very difficult stretch
42:08
Speaker 1: of the season that isn't necessarily going to be fun
42:11
Speaker 1: unless they can turn things around. It's part of the business,
42:15
Speaker 1: but not the fun part of it. No, it's not
42:17
Speaker 1: all comes down to Sunday. Can turn it around went
42:20
Speaker 1: against the Titans. At least for now, it's a huge game.
42:25
Speaker 1: And again I'm not saying that because I'm thinking playoffs
42:27
Speaker 1: at that point. I'm thinking I'd like to see this
42:30
Speaker 1: team finish eight and eight. Um, that would that would
42:33
Speaker 1: that would be a strong finish to a difficult stretch
42:38
Speaker 1: of an unusual season. Yeah, you look good in that
42:40
Speaker 1: game and then all of a sudden comes well it
42:44
Speaker 1: was falls his first game last week, last game, you know,
42:48
Speaker 1: but we have to do it. You have to do
42:50
Speaker 1: We can't keep talkings. Got to play. I get it
42:53
Speaker 1: this week though. It's on Toddwash in the defense to
42:55
Speaker 1: play fifty percent better, just fifty better against the run
43:00
Speaker 1: and give them a chance. Chance, give a chance. The
43:04
Speaker 1: last time they faced Derrick Henry had what thirty to
43:07
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Do it again? Do it again? All right,
43:10
Speaker 1: and we wrap up Top Tweets with some news around
43:13
Speaker 1: the league. It is pressing, It is hot this morning.
43:16
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski is not coming back to play because he
43:19
Speaker 1: is the newest Lakers dancer last night at the Los
43:23
Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers game. Is that real? It is real. It
43:25
Speaker 1: is real. And if you have not seen the video,
43:27
Speaker 1: go look it up on Twitter. He crushed it. It
43:29
Speaker 1: looked like he practiced heavily. It appears he won't be
43:33
Speaker 1: playing in New England this year because he's very busy. Well,
43:37
Speaker 1: I mean he might, he might. He might be dancing
43:39
Speaker 1: at a Celtics game after the Patriots when the Super Bowl.
43:41
Speaker 1: Who knows the man of many talents, John, What are
