Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review podcast presented by
- 0:09Speaker 1: t i A A Bank Jam Shattered with You. And
- 0:11Speaker 1: today is Friday, October nine, and we are in the
- 0:15Speaker 1: midst of Week five. The Jags are headed to Houston.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Coming up the best of this week, including the aftermath
- 0:21Speaker 1: of the loss in Cincinnati, a development announcement for the
- 0:25Speaker 1: area surrounding t I A bank Field, and Houston Chronicle
- 0:29Speaker 1: writer John mcclin explains why the Texans fired head coach
- 0:32Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. Let's start Monday and when Jack's owners shot
- 0:36Speaker 1: con talks, it's always news Monday. He was part of
- 0:39Speaker 1: an announcement by Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry of new development
- 0:43Speaker 1: plans for Lot J outside t i A A bank Field,
- 0:46Speaker 1: a four hundred fifty million dollar private public partnership for
- 0:50Speaker 1: a development featuring class A office space for at least
- 0:53Speaker 1: living options, and an entertainment district. It's about unlocking our
- 0:57Speaker 1: potential in Jacksonville. You've heard we talk about our potential
- 1:01Speaker 1: in the past. I believe it bears repeating. Jacksonville's ceiling
- 1:06Speaker 1: is high, remarkably sold. That's particularly true here in downtown,
- 1:12Speaker 1: and it's imperative that we have the ambition and the
- 1:16Speaker 1: vision to answer this calling once in par all. In fact,
- 1:22Speaker 1: if Jacksonville is to be everything we can be, uh,
- 1:26Speaker 1: this project is just the beginning, and it's time we begin.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Jaguar's President Mark Lamping. This is the definition of a
- 1:33Speaker 1: pioneering effort to change the trajectory of downtown Jacksonville through
- 1:38Speaker 1: the creation of a brand new neighborhood within the sports complex.
- 1:43Speaker 1: If successful, the catalytic effect it will have will be
- 1:47Speaker 1: felt throughout downtown and throughout the region for decades. This
- 1:52Speaker 1: is potentially a defining moment for the future of downtown Jacksonville.
- 1:57Speaker 1: We look forward to working with the City Council through
- 2:00Speaker 1: the legislative process, and I can tell you we simply
- 2:03Speaker 1: cannot wait to get started, Thank you very much. According
- 2:07Speaker 1: to the Mayor, the legislation should be presented to the
- 2:10Speaker 1: City Council soon and then it would have to go
- 2:12Speaker 1: through committees and hopefully be voted upon by the council
- 2:15Speaker 1: by the end of the year. Ideally they'll break ground
- 2:18Speaker 1: on this project in early twenty twenty one. The last
- 2:21Speaker 1: time Con was on the record with outside the building
- 2:24Speaker 1: media discussing the football team was in London last year,
- 2:28Speaker 1: and a lot has happened with the Jaguars football team
- 2:30Speaker 1: since then, including this year's one and three starts. I think,
- 2:34Speaker 1: you know, obviously, I'm very disappointed, I think being one
- 2:37Speaker 1: in three at this point, and yesterday, when you know,
- 2:41Speaker 1: I was leaving Cincinnati, I was reflecting on that, and uh,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and then you know, it dawned on me that, you know,
- 2:48Speaker 1: two years ago we were three and one at this point,
- 2:51Speaker 1: and um, you know, you put it in perspective, it's
- 2:54Speaker 1: about life. It's not how you start, it's how you finish.
- 2:57Speaker 1: So we know what happened a couple of years ago.
- 2:59Speaker 1: So three quarters of the season is still left to go,
- 3:03Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we have to find a way
- 3:06Speaker 1: to win. The full presentation, including the Q and a
- 3:09Speaker 1: session at the end, available on Jaguars dot Com. Now
- 3:12Speaker 1: to the aftermath of that game in Cincinnati, a thirty
- 3:15Speaker 1: three five loss to the Bengals. The Jags held a
- 3:18Speaker 1: thirteen ten halftime lead, but the Bengals scored on every
- 3:21Speaker 1: possession of the second half except for an end of
- 3:24Speaker 1: game kneel down, and they pulled away for their first
- 3:26Speaker 1: win of the season. A bright spot for the Jags, though,
- 3:29Speaker 1: was the return of wide receiver d J. Chark Jr.
- 3:31Speaker 1: To the lineup. He had eight catches for ninety five
- 3:34Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns, including a great toe drag just
- 3:37Speaker 1: inside the back line of the end zone and another
- 3:39Speaker 1: when he snatched the ball away from a defender. After
- 3:42Speaker 1: the game, Chart discussed the mindset of this team after
- 3:45Speaker 1: their third consecutive loss and the outside noise that's sure
- 3:48Speaker 1: to come. The mood in the locker room is basically,
- 3:52Speaker 1: we gotta stit together in the outside. I know, we
- 3:55Speaker 1: get home and we look on Instagram and look at Twitter,
- 3:57Speaker 1: and you know a lot of times we are, you know,
- 4:00Speaker 1: the laughing stock because people love making jokes when they're
- 4:03Speaker 1: not in the fire with us. You know, it's at
- 4:05Speaker 1: this point is forget them. You know. When I go
- 4:07Speaker 1: out there and play, I'm playing for those six guys,
- 4:11Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm come about it in the line
- 4:13Speaker 1: and that's just what we have to do. And I
- 4:15Speaker 1: feel like that's the feeling and if it's not, that's
- 4:18Speaker 1: what the feeling is going to be. You know, we
- 4:20Speaker 1: just have to go out there. I don't care if
- 4:22Speaker 1: we win every game moving on or don't win every
- 4:27Speaker 1: game moving on, We're not gonna quit for sure, and
- 4:29Speaker 1: that's the mindset that you gotta have, and somebody's gonna
- 4:32Speaker 1: have to fill us. But Jaguars suffered numerous injuries in
- 4:35Speaker 1: the game, especially on defense. D J. Hayden left with
- 4:38Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. He has since been placed on injured reserve.
- 4:41Speaker 1: C J. Henderson had a shoulder issue and left the game,
- 4:44Speaker 1: but when linebacker Miles Jack accided with an ankle issue,
- 4:48Speaker 1: the entire game seemed to change. On Jaguars Happy Hour Monday,
- 4:52Speaker 1: Pete Frisco, Tony Boselli and I talked through those injuries
- 4:55Speaker 1: and the impact they had on the defense. Losing your
- 4:58Speaker 1: front line guys doesn't help. It hurts. But when all
- 5:01Speaker 1: those guys were in outside C. J. Henderson, I'm pretty
- 5:03Speaker 1: sure they went down and score too touchdown um the
- 5:06Speaker 1: first two drives of the second half, So I don't
- 5:08Speaker 1: think you can pend it on all on that. And also,
- 5:11Speaker 1: injuries are part of this game, unfortunately, and guys get hurt.
- 5:14Speaker 1: I mean, you're playing the Bengals team that we're at,
- 5:17Speaker 1: who were without their two starting defensive tackles Mike Daniels
- 5:20Speaker 1: uh and Gino Atkins or two of their front line
- 5:22Speaker 1: guys DJ read are the three guys that kind of
- 5:24Speaker 1: rotate in there, so you know, you could go down
- 5:27Speaker 1: the list. I mean they have the never they're starting
- 5:29Speaker 1: tight ends out for injuries and meeting I just don't
- 5:32Speaker 1: buy that always. Um, it's it's not fun, it's not
- 5:36Speaker 1: a good part of the game. No one likes it.
- 5:38Speaker 1: But in the NFL, no one's gonna feel sorry for
- 5:40Speaker 1: you either. And I don't think Doug's asking for sympathy
- 5:43Speaker 1: by by any means. I think when he was just
- 5:44Speaker 1: answering the question, like, hey, it's hard, and it is
- 5:47Speaker 1: hard when you have, you know, guys, you're better players
- 5:50Speaker 1: go out, and I think it's even even harder based
- 5:53Speaker 1: on how the roster has been built right now. I
- 5:55Speaker 1: mean it's super young. Um, the starters were young, not
- 5:57Speaker 1: a lot of experience, not tested um in the NFL,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you lose those guys
- 6:03Speaker 1: and a couple of guys that were tested around, you know,
- 6:05Speaker 1: and Jack and d J Hayden, and you get even
- 6:08Speaker 1: younger and less experience, and so you look at the
- 6:12Speaker 1: roster from top to bottom in the way it's kind
- 6:15Speaker 1: of been constructed, losing anybody makes it really difficult, even
- 6:19Speaker 1: in the best circumstances in the NFL, tough, but I
- 6:21Speaker 1: think it's even um it's even amplified more based on
- 6:26Speaker 1: you know where where the Jaguars sittings the roster right now.
- 6:29Speaker 1: When we were in school, you remember, there was always
- 6:31Speaker 1: a kid that never could get good grades. He always
- 6:33Speaker 1: got a f and finally got to see and you clapped,
- 6:37Speaker 1: and you went, yeah, he got to see, Well, you
- 6:40Speaker 1: should clap the Jaguars. They had a stop on the
- 6:42Speaker 1: opening drive, all right, that's his progress. And they actually
- 6:46Speaker 1: made a punt, which they did. They didn't make the
- 6:48Speaker 1: Colts punt of so that's a step in the right direction.
- 6:52Speaker 1: And Tony in a league of bad defense, and defense
- 6:55Speaker 1: is terrible in this league, awful. They might be the
- 6:59Speaker 1: work in the league. And teams are gonna do whatever
- 7:04Speaker 1: they want, whenever they want, however they want to them,
- 7:07Speaker 1: even if their starters are on the field. It's a
- 7:09Speaker 1: group of young guys. There's not a ton of talent there.
- 7:12Speaker 1: They're not a good defense right now. And so anything
- 7:16Speaker 1: that you get, if you get a stop on the
- 7:18Speaker 1: opening drive, that's progress, and granted the run late, you
- 7:22Speaker 1: know the runs by mixing. The young player was at
- 7:25Speaker 1: their corner after Anderson went out, and like you said,
- 7:27Speaker 1: Toby talked earlier it was a bad fit. But those
- 7:31Speaker 1: are gonna happen. But it's not a good defense right now.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Show me aside from Miles Jack. Aside from Miles Jack,
- 7:37Speaker 1: show me one player who's playing to the expectations that
- 7:40Speaker 1: you thought he would play before the season. One give
- 7:42Speaker 1: me one Pete bringing the heat of it the air.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour airing Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at
- 7:49Speaker 1: four on Jack's social channels, the Monday and Thursday shows
- 7:52Speaker 1: on Tin Today M Radio in Jacksonville. There are lots
- 7:55Speaker 1: of ups and downs, of course, in every NFL season.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Defensive end and strong side lineback her Cassius marsh has
- 8:01Speaker 1: lived through those since entering the league. He was with
- 8:04Speaker 1: the Seahawks for a few years, and then the Patriots,
- 8:07Speaker 1: forty Liners, Cardinals, and now the Jags, so he has
- 8:10Speaker 1: plenty of different experiences around the NFL, and he joined
- 8:13Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan on Instagram Live this week to explain how
- 8:16Speaker 1: he shares those experiences with teammates and how the Jags
- 8:20Speaker 1: defense can turn things. The right way. Obviously, this performance
- 8:23Speaker 1: so far this year hasn't gone exactly the way you
- 8:26Speaker 1: guys wanted. And we were talking to Avery Jones postgame
- 8:29Speaker 1: on Sunday, UM, and he was very honest, definitely seemed frustrated,
- 8:33Speaker 1: but had a lot of faith that this group can
- 8:35Speaker 1: turn this surround. So in your eyes, how do do
- 8:38Speaker 1: they turn it around? I think your budget has got
- 8:40Speaker 1: to focus on executing their jobs. Um. I mean that's
- 8:44Speaker 1: around the league. It doesn't matter what team you're you're
- 8:46Speaker 1: you're any or what team you're talking about. I think
- 8:49Speaker 1: that's all it comes down to, is just it's just executing,
- 8:53Speaker 1: executing your job and and all eleven guys doing that
- 8:55Speaker 1: at the same time, and you know, trying to make
- 8:58Speaker 1: uh the least amount of steaks, because really the team
- 9:01Speaker 1: that comes out on top is a team that made
- 9:03Speaker 1: the lead the few of some mistakes. So I think
- 9:05Speaker 1: for us, it's just about execution and just continuing to
- 9:08Speaker 1: get better. Everybody's locked in and uh, nobody's pointing fingers. Um.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Everybody looks at themselves, which is really impressive with such
- 9:16Speaker 1: a young group, yourself playing on a few NFL teams.
- 9:20Speaker 1: How do you think that helps you right now one
- 9:22Speaker 1: with COVID. But to you know, going through a year
- 9:25Speaker 1: that as of right now isn't the way you wanted
- 9:27Speaker 1: to go. Do you have experience with that? And what
- 9:29Speaker 1: are you telling younger guys that I've never done this before. Yeah,
- 9:32Speaker 1: I've been on some teams with with some tough goals
- 9:35Speaker 1: at season UM, and I've also been on teams with
- 9:38Speaker 1: that I've had a lot of success. UM. For me,
- 9:42Speaker 1: I just try to be an example of just working, um,
- 9:46Speaker 1: you know, continuing to do UM, put the work in
- 9:49Speaker 1: day in and day out, and try and do the
- 9:51Speaker 1: little stuff. UM. I think that's extreme. You know, it's
- 9:54Speaker 1: extremely important and overlooked. It's just consistency, you know, working
- 9:59Speaker 1: hard in practice and just trying to be an example
- 10:02Speaker 1: I had. I didn't get to spend time with the
- 10:04Speaker 1: guys during O t A, so to be a vocal leader,
- 10:07Speaker 1: I feel like you really have to know everybody on
- 10:09Speaker 1: the team, and I spent a lot of time with
- 10:12Speaker 1: the guys and stuff like that. So for me, I
- 10:14Speaker 1: just try to just lead by example, bring energy why not,
- 10:18Speaker 1: you know, however I can and and uh, you know,
- 10:21Speaker 1: just be there for the guys. Cash just the second
- 10:24Speaker 1: generation of Marshes to play for the Jags's father, Curtis Marsh,

- 11:37Speaker 1: end of each quarter. Time to hear from the coordinators.
- 11:40Speaker 1: First on the offensive side with offensive plate caller j Gruden.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Last week, the Jaguars offense had a great run from
- 11:46Speaker 1: James Robinson, the running back, to start their opening possession
- 11:49Speaker 1: of the second half, but it was negated by a
- 11:51Speaker 1: holding penalty, putting the Jaguars behind the chains early in
- 11:55Speaker 1: the half. The result of the drive up hunt and
- 11:58Speaker 1: it isn't the first time this year a penalty or
- 12:00Speaker 1: negative play has sunk a Jaguars drive, and Gruden explained
- 12:03Speaker 1: what he and the JAG's offense can do better. It's
- 12:06Speaker 1: just something we haven't done a good job of his
- 12:08Speaker 1: overcoming negative plays, you know, the sack or maybe a
- 12:11Speaker 1: penalty first and long, second and long. We've not done
- 12:14Speaker 1: a good job this year of overcoming those things. That's
- 12:16Speaker 1: something we have to focus on. Get a better get
- 12:17Speaker 1: back on track package. I tried to run quick game
- 12:20Speaker 1: and get half of it back and we had to
- 12:21Speaker 1: throw it away. Then we had another drop back and
- 12:23Speaker 1: had to throw it away unfortunately, and then had to punt.
- 12:26Speaker 1: So this is something we got to do a better
- 12:27Speaker 1: job of his coaches make sure we get the right
- 12:29Speaker 1: play in there to try to get We're not to
- 12:30Speaker 1: get it all back on one play. We have to
- 12:32Speaker 1: understand that mentality. We'd still have two or three dolls again.
- 12:35Speaker 1: We just gotta make sure we do a better job
- 12:36Speaker 1: of getting that negative taste out of our mouth and
- 12:38Speaker 1: continue to move the chains. Now, the Jaguars defensive coordinator
- 12:41Speaker 1: Todd Wash the challenge this week keeping Texans quarterback to
- 12:44Speaker 1: Shawn Watson contained. Of course, we all know the Jaguars
- 12:47Speaker 1: pass for us has had it struggles this year so far,
- 12:50Speaker 1: but they must find a way to get pressure on
- 12:53Speaker 1: the quarterback this week. They can't let him sprint out
- 12:55Speaker 1: of the pocket. You know, he's a true dual threat.
- 12:58Speaker 1: You know, I think there's getting to be a lot
- 12:59Speaker 1: more was in our league with the college game. That's
- 13:01Speaker 1: that's that's being played now. You know, the biggest thing
- 13:04Speaker 1: is we're going to do everything we can to try
- 13:06Speaker 1: to make him a pocket passer. We we gotta keep
- 13:08Speaker 1: him in the pocket. Um. You've seen some games. You know,
- 13:10Speaker 1: we played him obviously tight, you know, early on and
- 13:12Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. In the last couple of contests,
- 13:14Speaker 1: we've had some really good, good results early and then
- 13:17Speaker 1: we kind of falter a little bit late. But for us,
- 13:19Speaker 1: we gotta keep him in the pocket. We gotta keep
- 13:21Speaker 1: him contained with our four or five or six man
- 13:23Speaker 1: pressures that we have on third down, but the biggest
- 13:26Speaker 1: one is first and second down, the timing throws. We
- 13:29Speaker 1: need to have good pressure from our corners, getting hands
- 13:31Speaker 1: on people to try to disrupt some of the timing
- 13:34Speaker 1: and let him really feel the rush. If we can
- 13:36Speaker 1: do that, I think we can control him. But if
- 13:38Speaker 1: we let him running around, you know, around here we say, hey,
- 13:41Speaker 1: when that rooster gets loose, he's gonna hurt you. And uh,
- 13:43Speaker 1: he's done that to a lot a lot of different
- 13:45Speaker 1: teams over the years, and we gotta do everything we
- 13:47Speaker 1: can to keep him in the pocket. But with that
- 13:49Speaker 1: being said, being a former D line coach and talk
- 13:52Speaker 1: one of the ReBs, if you're constantly talking about, hey,
- 13:54Speaker 1: let's keep him in the pocket, let's keep him in
- 13:56Speaker 1: the pocket, all we're gonna do is run right down
- 13:58Speaker 1: the middle of people and stare at him. So there's
- 14:00Speaker 1: a really a fine balance of how much you can bring,
- 14:03Speaker 1: how you know, chances or whatever you can say as
- 14:06Speaker 1: a rusher to keep him in the pocket. But we
- 14:08Speaker 1: have to be smart and keep him in the pocket,
- 14:10Speaker 1: but yet still get after When that rooster gets loose,
- 14:14Speaker 1: he's gonna hurt you. Good quote from wash There. Full
- 14:17Speaker 1: Coordinator and player video conference is available on Jaguars dot com.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Now to this week's opponent to Houston Texans. After an
- 14:24Speaker 1: oh and four start, the Texans fired head coach Bill
- 14:26Speaker 1: O'Brien Monday. O'Brien and Jack's head coach Dog Marone aren't close.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Going back to their time as assistants at Georgia Tech
- 14:34Speaker 1: baron Wednesday, most everyone knows that you know, you know,
- 14:38Speaker 1: Bill and I obviously have a friendship that probably leads
- 14:41Speaker 1: towards more of like a you know, a brother type relationship.
- 14:44Speaker 1: So for me speaking to him, it's not an unusual thing.
- 14:47Speaker 1: You know, we speak, you know quite a bit. I
- 14:49Speaker 1: know this, I probably you know definitely in this league.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I probably I would say that I probably know him
- 14:55Speaker 1: better than than than anyone. You know. I know that
- 14:57Speaker 1: he's an outstanding football coach. He's he's proven that I
- 15:01Speaker 1: know that he's very loyal to his coaches and players
- 15:03Speaker 1: and organizations. You know, he's a guy that has won
- 15:06Speaker 1: four out of five titles in the n f C South,
- 15:08Speaker 1: and I think he's someone that's uh, he's outstanding, family man,
- 15:12Speaker 1: he cares. I mean, there's just so many great qualities.
- 15:15Speaker 1: You know, I can't believe I have to say this
- 15:17Speaker 1: publicly now, you know, because normally I bust his jobs.
- 15:21Speaker 1: But he's a great friend, and um, you know, it's
- 15:23Speaker 1: always sad, you know when you see things like this,
- 15:25Speaker 1: and um, you know, I'm sure that he'll have you know,
- 15:28Speaker 1: opportunities down the road because because of all the things
- 15:31Speaker 1: that he's done. So I think we all understand, I know,
- 15:34Speaker 1: you know, this is the way the league is. On
- 15:36Speaker 1: Jack's Drivetime Thursday morning, Houston Chronicle writer John McClean visited
- 15:40Speaker 1: with Ashton Sullivan, John Osher, and Brian Sexton and provided
- 15:43Speaker 1: more insight to the changes in Houston. If you could
- 15:46Speaker 1: try to us summarize this week for us and what
- 15:49Speaker 1: has gone on with the Houston Texans, how would you
- 15:51Speaker 1: do that? The Texans have been the most disappointed team
- 15:54Speaker 1: in the NFL. A good example was last year the
- 15:58Speaker 1: Texas made the Bills in the playoffs. Bills of four
- 16:01Speaker 1: no look like a Super Bowl contender. Detectans rolling forward
- 16:05Speaker 1: looked like a toilet Bowl tender. And they have not
- 16:08Speaker 1: played well going back to the second quarter of the
- 16:12Speaker 1: Kansas City playoff game when they blew twenty four point
- 16:15Speaker 1: leading lost, so everybody thought they would beat Minnesota. Here
- 16:21Speaker 1: the Vikings came in OH three. Their offense was not good,
- 16:25Speaker 1: their defense was terrible. Kirk Cousins at his best game
- 16:28Speaker 1: of the year. The defense looked good except in the
- 16:32Speaker 1: second half. As the owner of kal McNair, he said,
- 16:36Speaker 1: we're not We're going in the wrong direction, and he said,
- 16:39Speaker 1: we still want to win games. So he decided to
- 16:42Speaker 1: fire Bill O'Brien's coach in general manager elevate associate head
- 16:47Speaker 1: coach Romeo for Now to interim coach and executive vice
- 16:52Speaker 1: president of ball Operations Jack Easterby to uh interim GM,
- 16:57Speaker 1: and then they will after the season hire general manager
- 17:01Speaker 1: and then they are head coach. John. When I spoke
- 17:03Speaker 1: to earlier this week, you weren't sure that this change
- 17:06Speaker 1: was going to have much of an effect. Why wouldn't
- 17:08Speaker 1: this give the team the boost that it hoped. Well,
- 17:10Speaker 1: it might the Jaguars, because the Jaguars, as you guys know,
- 17:14Speaker 1: they have lost three in a rows instead opening victory,
- 17:18Speaker 1: and interim jobs just don't work out. I went back.
- 17:22Speaker 1: I've covered four year, three with the Oilers, one with
- 17:25Speaker 1: the Texans. All of them have been a disaster, but
- 17:29Speaker 1: one before my time, believe it or not, in nineteen six,
- 17:32Speaker 1: one second year of the NFL, while it's changed coaches
- 17:35Speaker 1: when I'm beaten and wan the second consecutive an FC
- 17:38Speaker 1: South championship. So it is hard to find an interim
- 17:42Speaker 1: coach who turned the team around. Usually you think players
- 17:46Speaker 1: would play hard, harder because their jobs are on the line.
- 17:51Speaker 1: They wanted to get positive things on tape for the
- 17:53Speaker 1: next regime. But that's usually not how it works out.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Drive Time Hearing Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings on
- 18:00Speaker 1: Jack's social channels. Well, finally this week we get the
- 18:03Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback Gardner him into the second. He was asked
- 18:06Speaker 1: about the leader of the Texans defense and all the
- 18:09Speaker 1: changes this week down there, and like many other weeks,
- 18:12Speaker 1: he gave us the quote of the week. Listen what
- 18:15Speaker 1: have you seen from Houston? And is J J. Watt
- 18:17Speaker 1: still a guy you need to know where he's at
- 18:20Speaker 1: pre snap every single play. Yeah, Houston is very good.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you see watching tabs,
- 18:25Speaker 1: they're they're a smart team. You know, they're discipline uh
- 18:28Speaker 1: well coached, like they're gonna be in the right positions.
- 18:31Speaker 1: You don't see them get beat from lack of discipline
- 18:33Speaker 1: or anything like that. JJ's he's definitely guy that you
- 18:36Speaker 1: gotta know where he's at. You gotta have somebody on him.
- 18:38Speaker 1: A lot of times you want to have two guys
- 18:40Speaker 1: on him. The biggest team with him. Man, he just
- 18:42Speaker 1: thought you know, he's gonna keep going the second effort, saxes,
- 18:45Speaker 1: cleanup sacks, Uh, he gets all those because he is
- 18:50Speaker 1: always working. You know. I think it's awesome to see
- 18:52Speaker 1: one of the guys that's been so good in this
- 18:53Speaker 1: week for so long and it's because of his work
- 18:55Speaker 1: ethic and you know how hard he plays. And then secondly,
- 18:58Speaker 1: just playing a team that's kind of going through tour
- 19:01Speaker 1: more like this is that kind of can be a
- 19:03Speaker 1: recipe for them to play pretty well sometimes. Yeah, no doubt.
- 19:06Speaker 1: We uh, I mean we got enough turmoil and turmoil
- 19:09Speaker 1: going on our own. You know, we gotta figure us
- 19:11Speaker 1: out first. Um, so, hey, we're fired out, We're ready
- 19:15Speaker 1: to go. You know, I know a lot of people
- 19:17Speaker 1: writing us out, but the belief on this team is
- 19:19Speaker 1: still very strong, and um, you know we're ready to
- 19:21Speaker 1: get out there as well. Well. The next opportunity to
- 19:24Speaker 1: figure it out is this Sunday in Houston against the
- 19:27Speaker 1: division rival Texans. Kickoff time set for one o'clock Eastern
- 19:30Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. On radio, we're on
